Hello all I'm new to the forum. I'm a beginner but I have a little bit of experience in woodworking(I helped build a house once and took shop class years ago in school but the teacher was worthless and only taught us how to use sand paper...) What do you suggest I do to learn how to do woodworking? I came here to learn about Festool drills as I need one and its one of the few not made in China these days and I'm looking to get into locksmithing someday(which requires a lot of woodworking skills with fitting locks and repairing doors). If anyone would be willing to give me some pointers on where to start or what tools I need or how to use them safely(well I know how to do much) or anything it would be much appreciated.

Welcome Lockpicker

You have made a good choice in joining the FOG as you will get advise & opinions on almost anything here.  You wont go far wrong with any Festool drill.  I currently have the c12 but i will be ordering the t15 very soon.  Don't let the higher price put you off any of the Festool range as they are worth every penny.

Regards, Woodguy.

You might want to start a new thread with any specific questions you have, people may not read this thread, for whatever reason, and completely miss your questions.

 Welcome!

I've actually tried the C12 before in a store called Woodcraft and I liked it. I have some questions about the t15 but I'll make a different thread for that later.

regarding your question on tools doors and experience now you can supplament your lack of experience with quality tools and jigs the rest will come with time my advice is  get one of these door set jigs like in this pic this one is a kwikset and play with on a door blank for boring then move to a hung door at your house this will show you the basic function of the door latch and strike plates
