Hi,
As I might have already mentioned, i'm going away on a 14 day cabinet making course in october, this is to serve a number of purposes:
1. To gain basic skills in sharpening/honing
2. To understand wood, joints and basic wood-working
3. To see if I have the capacity to learn the skills to do this at a professional level.
So my question is this - Which wood-working industry would give a newcomer like me the best prospects in terms of employment and earning potential (not that i'm after a large salary, quality of working life is more important to me)?
And also, what exactly is the difference in Joinery, Carpentry and Cabinet Making ? I see cabinet making as sometimes referred to as kitchen fitting as well as bespoke furniture design, and carpentry seems to be more working on-site in build projects, so what role does joinery fill?
