The great thing about this course is that after every project, you actually have something tangible in your hands. A side table, for example, or a valet stand. I even made a new nightstand for myself once. We learn all the steps: from the first sketch to a usable piece of furniture. We use AutoCAD to work out the design down to the millimeter. We also learn how to properly mill solid wood and sheet material. And of course, we finally assemble the furniture ourselves. I especially enjoy designing and drawing. That's what I want to focus on later. Drawing and being creative is really my thing.
