You really need to go to work for a hard drinking, sailor cussing, grizzly old guy who knows more about wood than trees. Do this when you are about 16 years old. Not only will you learn about wood, woodworking tools, joinery, cabinet making and house framing, you will also learn how to drink whiskey, cuss, spit, and generally become a hard drinking, sailor cussing, grizzly old guy when you grow up!
