What is up. I recently bought a set of carving chisels and I am looking for an old school carpenter who could teach me traditional joinery techniques on weekends.
You cannot master true craftsmanship just by watching short online videos because feeling the grain of the wood requires hands on guidance from someone with decades of real experience. Many retired woodworkers in our community have fully equipped home workshops and love sharing their knowledge with enthusiastic beginners. I recommend you browse the general network at tbilistings.com/ to find local artisans who offer informal mentoring. It is an extraordinary opportunity to learn a valuable physical trade while building meaningful connections with older generations in your area.
