Do you know that you can totally transform your home and increase its aesthetic value using wooden products?
You just have to know how to make wood products and you'll be set to go. For instance, you can build a unique dining table that will totally transform the home's interior d cor. You can also make a chopping board that'll amaze your friends once they set their eyes on it for the first time.
Woodworking is an activity that has been in existence throughout human civilization. The best thing about this activity is that you don't have to do it on full time basis. You can always do it on part time and hence engage in other economic activities.
Once you learn how to build wooden items, you can build an outstanding gift for someone special in your life. You don't have to buy an expensive gift for your spouse or a friend. You can decide to make something special for them and hence make them feel important and appreciated.
You can also use your woodworking skills to make some money by commercializing the venture. For instance, you can start making furniture and then sell the furniture at a profit. You can also start the business of carving wood as per the client's specifications.
Woodworking has become one of those skills that, because you need to buy both materials and equipment, will cost an amount of cash to get underway. With the incredible things you are able to make, it easily pays for itself. We will concentrate on producing some of that awesome stuff in this book. Of course, not all of them because only so many can be found in a book, and the number of projects you can create by Woodworking is restricted only by your creativity. If you add your imagination to your craftsmanship, there is no end to what you are doing.
Once you have woodworking skills, you won't ever have to seek the services of a carpenter to repair broken furniture. You can always repair the broken furniture by replacing the broken part or repairing it.
Woodworking skills will also make you proud and increase your self-esteem. You'll feel so much better if you can point at a piece of furniture in your home and tell your visitor that you're the one who built it.
You must not be too comfortable, too. Be eager for each project to challenge you a little more, but don't just look for more complicated tasks. Seek stuff that will excite you on your job as well.

Design and Agency brings together leading international design scholars and practitioners to address the concept of agency in relation to objects, organisations and people. The authors set out to expand the scope of design history and practice, avoiding the heroic narratives of a typical modernist approach. They consider both how the agents of design construct and express their identities and subjectivities through practice, while also investigating the distinctive contribution of design in the construction of individual identity and subjectivity.
Individual chapters explore notions of agency in a range of design disciplines and historical periods, including the agency of women in effecting changes to the design of offices and working practices; the role of Jeffrey Lindsay and Buckminster Fuller in developing the design of a geodesic dome; Le Corbusier's 'Casa Curutchet'; a re-consideration of the gendered historiography of the 'Jugendstil' movement, and Bruce Mau's design exhibitions. Taken together, the essays in Design and Agency provide a much-needed response to the traditional texts which dominate design history. With a broad chronological span from 1900 to the present, and an equally broad understanding of the term 'design', it expands how we view the discipline, and shows how design itself can be an agent for social, cultural and economic change.
