I’ve been doing woodwork as a hobby now for a number of years. I’m not a professional and all of my knowledge has come from reading lots of books and watching lots of internet videos. Slowly but surely I have built up a working knowledge and also a small arsenal of tools.<\/p>\n

My first serious woodworking project was way back in 2011. I had just finished reading a great woodworking book called Cabinetmaking: A Foundation Course<\/strong><\/em> by John Bullar<\/strong><\/em>, which taught me a lot of useful woodworking skills. It also had a few projects in it which progressively increased in difficulty and technical skill. One of the early projects was a simple oak stool, which incorporated a mortice and tenon joint called a bridle joint<\/em> to slot lengths of wood together. At the time I was considering building a new telephone-table for in our hall, and so I decided to try and modify the original design of the stool and build a table instead.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Even though the book had a pretty good plan and description of the project, I still decided to use my own skills with 3D modelling to re-build the project on the computer. That way I could get the new measurements correct. Also I realised that there were a couple of ways I could build the table by changing the direction of the cross beams and so modelling on the computer helped me to decide which would look best.<\/p>\n
