Start up

This is my first attempt to blog. What I plan to do is to keep readers informed on furniture building. The ups and downs and all arounds. If that doesn't work I will may venture off into some tips on furniture quality, furniture care, or buying furniture.

I've been asking around about how i could learn to make my own furniture, but i can't find any good answers. I've been told that it's all self-taught. I know this is only a comment but where could i learn this skill?

I am self taught, but there are places to get some good basics out of the way. Local college or Technical college. There may be some classes by a local art association. I am a memeber of a woodworking club and sometimes thay have good information. The best way to do it is just to start. Get a few basic tools and build small projects. My business started in my father's garage making a bed for my mother (see www.wwbeds.com) Good luck!

Sorry about your table saw being locked up. Could it be possible that you are referring to a "bearing" vs. a "barring"?

This is interesting. I have been wanting to build a murphy wall bed like my grandpa had in his house a long time ago. I think that they are such a good idea and people should do it more often.
