Woodworking dates to the
Roman Empire, with severalhand tools used today having origins
in this early time period. Woodworking
can be done in a small space with a few
simple hand tools, or in a small workshop
if machines are part of your woodworking.
Technical schools introduce woodworking
through hand tools as it provides the
student a close bond to wood. Hand tools
are an enabler to woodworking. Machines
were developed to speed processes and
quickly churn out furniture and wood
objects – so if you’re just working on a few
pieces for yourself, you really don’t need
much. A few hand tools will get you going
and provide the immediate satisfaction of
creating a tangible object.
