Woodworking for Beginners Handbook

About this audiobook
Once an experienced woodworker said to me, "There is no scrap wood, just pieces which have not met the right hand".
Back in the days when I was starting with Wood Craft, I was desperately looking for the go-to guide about the processes and the tools involved.
Woodworking is a vast subject with many branches or sub-genres of this craft like Cabinet Making, Wood Carving, Joinery, Carpentry, and Woodturning.
The online content was information overload and not presented in a sequential manner. The books I referred were either focused on a few processes or assumed that I had the necessary information. Also, I found that most of the books were a little aged.
There are two ways of learning; one is learning from subject matter experts who have years of experience, and then there are people who are just a few steps ahead of you in their journey.
I am the second one, five years into this hobby, and still learning from the experts.
I still remember the initial doubts I had and the tips which helped me.
This book is for people who are in their first lap (0-3 years) of the wood-crafting journey and want to have a holistic idea of processes, tools, and need help in their initial projects.
I have included ample photographs of realistic projects of beginners explaining the process and standard operating procedure while starting.
In the last chapter, Appendix: I have provided a glossary of woodworking terms, the list of online resources available for free patterns, tips, and techniques.
Below is the flow of the information provided in the book:
Introduction: The history and details of various branches of woodworking
All about the wood: How to choose them; Hardwood, Softwood, Plywood, MDF all explained
Woodworking tools: Hand and Power tool explained with best practices
Processes and Techniques: The complete workflow of the woodworking process along with a detailed explanation of the usage of each tool
Safety and Best Practices: This topic is highlighted throughout the book, and best practices with regards to hand and power tools explained in detail
Gluing and Finishing
10 starter projects with step by step instructions
Glossary of woodworking tools, souces for downloading the free plan
Also, you can download my additional bonus booklet with additional plans for more projects
So, what are you waiting for? As said in the woodworking community:
Measure Twice and Cut Once and let's start the journey.
