learn woodworking

Started my woodworking class and am making a small entertainment center. I’ll post pics when its done. Hardest thing so far is getting used to the equipment and the fact that nothing measures out to a round inch, everything is an 1/8, 1/16/ 5/8 whatever so attention to detail is a must. Anyway its fun, im the youngest person in the class and also the only one who hasn’t taken the class before, ill post pics soon.

I’ve become interested in woodworking/ carpentry recently because, like most people it feels good to create something, and to accomplish something no matter how small. I’ve been in the AF for 8 years and I fix broke jets just so they can break the next day. The feeling of accomplishment wears off quickly when you know someone is going to come along and break what you just spent hours or days fixing. Woodworking is something you can get your hands on and feel, you can watch it progress and the finished product if done right will last. So hopefully this will be something I can stick to and learn right. The local community college offers classes on woodworking and construction, so hopefully I can find the time to attend the classes. How are you guys learning about woodworking? self teach, apprentice, school?
