Woodworking can be relaxing and fun for folks of all ages. Contrary to popular opinion (formed after watching "the New Yankee Workshop") this great American passtime isn't reserved for middle-aged white men with lots of spare cash! Dive in and enjoy it!

I want to learn woodworking, but don’t have the tools or space for it. Are there any places I can go in Kansas City (preferably North Kansas City) where I can learn to use tools and build quality wooden stuff (furniture, ect.)?


In a woodworking business, would things like sandpaper and rags for wiping stains be considered Cost of Goods?

I do the accounting for a woodworking business. I understand that materials such as wood and paint and the factory labor are costs of good sold. I am also pretty sure that the factory machinery and tools that we use are not necessarily costs of goods sold. For me, the gray area is the little things like sandpaper and the rags that we use to wipe on the stains. We go through a lot of these and it’s a pretty big expense. I just want to make sure they are accounted for correctly.

My friend wants to get into building furniture/woodworking and I thought I would buy him a book on the subject for Christmas, but there is so many books to sift through. I don’t want a book from the 70’s or 80’s; I want something that has modern pieces and a modern take on the subject, and definitely geared towards a beginner. Anyone know of any that they can recommend?
