Before it fell apart and before the main editors left, they put together a beginner's guide to woodworking, including a starter tool set and a few projects. Now it appears the guide is in book form and for sale, but the PDF version is still around and free. https://www.pdfdrive.com/manual-popular-woodworking-magazine-e8945999.html And a lot of the projects are still out there, as they continued for several years after the PDF came out https://www.popularwoodworking.com/i-can-do-that/ and some project downloads based on articles https://www.popularwoodworking.com/free-woodworking-downloads/ I Can Do That! Woodworking Projects - Updated and Expanded ( PDFDrive.com ).pdf I Can Do That Manual Popular Woodworking ebook.pdf I Can Do That! Woodworking Projects - Updated and Expanded ( PDFDrive.com ).pdf

Been following this fellow on Youtube. He does lots of Sketchup work and instruction. He recently started a series called "Square One" which covers the use of the basic Sketchup native tools. Each video is under 10 minutes and very informative- even if you've been using Sketchup for a while. I found it especially helpful for someone like me who is self-taught on Sketchup. https://www.youtube.com/c/SketchUp/featured

Hey folks! I'm a new turner. Just been making shavings trying to learn the tools but I think I'm ready for my first project. I need some tool handles for some carbide turning tools I picked up. I have quite a bit of sassafrass just lying around so I think that would make some good handles. I'll be posting pics (of course) and I'm open to any and all critiques, tips and general advise. The pieces are about 8", 9" and 10" long by about 2.5" in diameter. My first step will be to shape the handles, then I need to find something to use as ferrules before attempting to mount the tools. Thanks for putting up with "the new guy".

What would be an easy 90 degree joint besides just screwing/nailing the two together at the ends (one overlapping the other)? Butt joints? I don't have a draw saw (whatever that japanese saw is called). I do have a jig saw and a hack saw.
