I Wish I Knew This When I Started Woodworking! | Woodworking Tips for Beginners

I look back and see mistakes I made as a new woodworker. We all make them so I'm not alone! But I do wonder how things would have played out if I knew a few lessons learned that I've gathered over the years. These are my lessons learned; they don't mean that you have to follow them. I've always advocated doing what works best for you and your woodworking journey. There are things I wish I knew because of how I do certain tasks now and the types of projects that I make. If you don't make those projects or have a way that works better for you then that's great! But think about it. Based on that process you like, is there any part of that which would have been helpful when you first started?
