How can I get started in carpentry?



After 3 degrees and 10 years spent building a computer-based career, I'm leaving this career to get into carpentry.

My wife got a great job that gives us the financial freedom for me to take the paycut.

How should I get started?


Answers:


1You might find a carpenter who would let you work as an apprentice. That's how I did it when I was younger.
