The industry is extremely interesting but I have problems with how I can do it.My uncle who has been doing more than me in this industry, has suggested to me to follow Teds plans, Do you think it’s a good move to follow these plans? ? I keep reading good reviews about Teds Plans but I am unsure if it will still work on me.At this time I can purchase these plans at a very low price,so if possible can you leave me feedback on wether I should do it or not. It would mean a lot coming from an expert in this field.

Hi.
I need some simple projects for school children to build as Practical Assessment Tasks that will include joints like dovetail, mortise and tenon, corner halving, butt joint, halve lapped joint.
No need for all at once.
The main thing is that at this level they are not allowed to make use of electrical machines yet.
Hope you can assist.
Hi Nico. We have a section on our site that is dedicated to projects for beginners: https://www.wwgoa.com/projects/beginner-woodworking-projects/
Most of these projects, however, are presented using power tools, so you would have to adapt the techniques to hand tools.
Thanks
