I gotta say - it's been my experience that this is a VERY valuable way to
learn. There are TONS of books, magazines, etc. published about tools,
woodworking, the history and use, etc. etc...

It's also been my experience that many people DON'T take advantage of these
resources and actually READ this stuff! In some classes and get-togethers
I've been to, I've been surprised at stuff that I already knew, that I
expected the others to know, but they didn't! I truly don't have all that
much actual hands-on experience (working on that all the time), but I've
done lots of reading, and continue to do so. I value knowledge as much as
experience...
