Want to learn woodworking engineering/logic but have no tools or workshop. Any advice?
Hey everyone, I really want to learn woodworking from scratch, but right now I don't have a workshop, tools, or space to practice physically.
Since I can't do hands-on work, I want to focus completely on the engineering side of things. I want to deeply learn how wood movement works, the physics behind different joints like mortise & tenon or dovetails, and how to plan precise cutting lists and furniture blueprints.
Are there any online courses or masterclasses that teach these technical and structural principles deeply without needing immediate shop practice?
Also, since I can't make things physically, I'm planning to practice by reverse-engineering furniture builds into 3D/CAD software. If any experienced woodworkers have advice on this or can give me some guidance, I’d love to connect.
Thanks
