Over the last five years or so, there have been huge numbers of email spam messages about woodworking – everything from how to make millions from wood, to make your own workshop, to offers of 10,000 woodwork plans, to get rid of your furniture and make your own better quality stuff etc.
Clearly, in society there is a demand for professional carpenters and it probably pays well for those who are very skilled at the work.
There is also room for many people to DIY and gain the pleasure of achieving something with wood.
But it is a craft and idiots cannot expect to become top carpenters overnight, whatever the scams emails claim.
A latest set of emails about woodworking claim ‘Setup a shop even if you’ve no money, no space and no tools’.
It shows a video clip you are supposed to watch that contains the answers, but the cover picture on the video shows a large well equipped workshop.
Doesn’t really match the title claim of no space, no money and no tools needed.
Similar emails claim the woodwork plans mean you can become an expert without any training – just follow the instructions.
That is obviously a recipe for disaster.
Does the scammer care about setting up people to fail?
No, of course not. He just wants his money.
