College

My college is pretty good. I enjoy it. It's situated just outside the nearest town to my village so its a bit of a trek. (Literally sometimes). My course is advanced carpentry. This is covered in two basic sections. Bench and site.



Bench work is precision. making chairs, tables, furniture, decorations etc
For example chair frames. each piece has to be perfectly crafted to fit together. It's skilled work and I enjoy it very much.

Unfortunately we don't get to do much of this at college yet. Hopefully in months to come I will be able to make things like this.
This is an example of site work. This sort of roofing is constructed on site. Hence the name.

We do a lot of this at college. I enjoy it as it involves climbing around and solving problems with a group. Making large pieces like this requires a good mentality and a practical mind. Things like this can really challenge me.



Bench work is probably my favourite. There is a lot more creativity and freedom.

    Wow, I think working with wood is a great skill to have

    (ignore the puns and innuendo)

    Imagine sitting in a house with furniture you built.

    That'd be pretty satisfying I think

    That looks like an interesting course. Also has the advantage of DIY skills at home.

    At least you are doing something that actually gives you skills for worklife. I did a degree in biochemical engineering and then got a job in a supermarket for two years, now I'm working in journalism.

    Funny how things work out.

    My entire family on my dads side are carpenters, its a great trade and you can really clean up if your good at it. The key to success in carpentry is to take the time to pay attention to detail. if you do that you will always have work.
