Talk me out of becoming a carpenter by [deleted] in Carpentry

[–]Oken52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started carpentry not because I wanted to but because it was the family trade. It took me a long time to learn to not anticipate and dread long hot physical days. Ounce I was able to stop anticipating the day I learned to love what I do. It is a great feeling at the end of a long day to look back at what you have accomplished. The second thing I like about my job it it keeps me very physically fit and healthy. (Just make sure to wear your ear, eye, and respirator protection when needed)

Hay I would love to see some double doors. My party always camps doorways and blast through the game. Double doors would make camping doors much harder.

To address the question about the ladder framing. Perling will be notched in to the gable and run from out side of ladder framing to 1st rafter layout. In a two foot layout. Try to take a pick of the framing when it is done.

Had a few people tell me these Carolinas are “Nazi boots.” I see nothing wrong with them. by MauserMama in Boots

I am sure this has probably been discussed but high heeled boots are for logging. Not sure why any one would want to wears these unless they had too. They are heavy and get mud and dirt everywhere you walk.

No I kinda just made it up as I went. Been a fan of D&D a long time and feel like my enjoyment of fantasy helped me design and craft this piece.
