Hi,
Over the years I've built a few "rough-and-ready" items like basic bookcases and a simple desk. I have access to a reasonable array of tools although most are not "fine woodworking" tools - they belonged to my father and grandfather who lived in country Victoria. I'm currently restoring some of the tools to reasonable working condition (I've started with a tenon saw, a couple of chisels and a No.5 plane). I also have access to a large array of power tools and a Triton MkIII saw bench.
I'm more interested in "fine" woodworking and would like to start by making a simple box for rack-mounting some music studio effects. I have two questions. Firstly, so far I've only worked with chipboard, MDF, pine and plywood. I'd like to work with some nicer wood - what would people recommend as next step for a relative beginner. I don't want anything too expensive or precious as there's a chance I might ruin it! Secondly, in the past I've butt-jointed my bookcases and held them together with screws. What would be the first proper joint to try, especially for a smallish wooden cabinet? I'm looking for something that's challenging but not too difficult.
Cheers,
Chris
