What is furniture making?

Furniture making covers everything from a first small cabinet to full-time training. Expect hand tools and machines together, and real time spent on joints, because a piece of furniture is mostly the quality of how it is held together. Short courses build one defined object; longer ones teach the process so you can design your own.
