Woodworking
Woodworking entails shaping, carving, and assembling wooden furniture or decorative items such as statues. It can be a leisure activity or hobby for people who want to destress themselves by fixing a chipped table corner or making a stool. However, others can refine their skill to mastery and use this skill as a means of earning and creating high-quality wooden products for retail.
To attain this level of mastery, one needs practice and a diverse set of tools and gadgets within their reach. These go beyond the list of tools needed by beginners, such as carpenter pencils, clawhammers, screwdrivers, chisels, mallets, or handsaws.
