If there was a course in carpentry, I would take that.

I started to learn some of that during the pandemic. With a good square, circular saw, and drill you can get started. I've gotten into building some relatively simple furniture now and am basically just using those tools still.

I have a circular saw, a miter saw, a small table saw, an oscillating saw, a square, and a drill. (Among other tools.) I've been able to learn how to install trim and flooring, replace deck boards, and build shelving.

At some point I'd love to learn how to make a bench.

I learned how to make some very fancy furniture off of YouTube. There's lots of excellent videos in techniques.

I remember woodworking for mere mortals being good when I was a beginner. (I'm still a beginner compared to plenty, but I can definitely design and build a bench on my own).
