Bam, cut seek time to a tenth! See, I don't do this for a living that's why that's probably a bad advice.

I'm trying to get into woodworking but man the start up costs are not insignificant. like all the tools you gotta get, whether hand or power, are not cheap, and the materials are also v expensive unless you own a literal lumber mill

Cold on a Cob posted:i would imagine woodworking is a thing where you can only make decent stacks doing it if you're really really good so you can charge 3k for a loving coffee table it's not mandatory to be too specific. my friend is a carpenter - he does carpentry related things. for example, his main day job is doing theatrical carpentry which is mainly comprised of theatre sets (his first love, the theatre) and then sometimes he gets tv and film gigs. on top of that people u work with who like your work hire you for things on the side. so he does interior and exterior custom work for people and they refer him etc etc and at the end of the day you've got a decent stack of money, callused hands, a pickup full of sawdust, and an honest living.

was gonna say "you could be a teacher" but I have no clue if america has shop classes y...you all have shop classes right. like you have one for woodworking and one for autoshop etcetc and you have to do one for a semester by requirement so it gets kids who might have never touched equipment to try it I swear to god if you don't have those

i have an interest in nuclear physics but it's not like you cab build a reactor in your back yard. there was this one kid who kinda did but it didn't really end well he bought old smoke detectors wholesale and got the americum-241 out and built a contraption with lots of tin foil in doing so he irradiated half the neighbourhood his reason for doing all that was trying to get a scout merit badge lol spankmeister fucked around with this message at 06:46 on Jul 25, 2013 |

The Best Christmas posted:was gonna say "you could be a teacher" but I have no clue if america has shop classes i went to middle school toronto (lol, gently caress you) and we had a semester of shop class in both grades 7 and 8. got to use a bandsaw.  because it was actually "design technology" we also learned basic engineering stuff. we were divided into teams had to build an "oil derrick" of a minimum height out of straws, hot glue and squares of cardboard, which were then tested by putting weights on top. the one that held the most weight won. we got a set amount of supplies at the beginning and we could "buy" more in exchange for a reduction in the recorded load capacity of the derrick; so if you bought 5 hot glue sticks you would have 100g docked from your final load or whatever. my design didn't use any extra supplies and still held twice as much as any one else's. maybe i should've been a structural engineer?
