Making Furniture
The beginner needs to realize that the difference between an amateur-looking furniture and a professional job, though important, is very small.
Often it is merely a matter of a piece of moulding or a corner brace, or a little extra sanding of the end grain.
In making a simple bedside lampstand and bookcase, for example, the tyro probably would be content with finishing everything off flush, and running the sides down to form feet. The professional, on the other hand, would give the top a slight overhang and form a simple thumb moulding on three edges.
He would certainly enclose the space below the bottom shelf, and perhaps cut the skirt into a decorative shape. This base would have the effect of giving four feet to the cabinet, and allow it to stand more firmly on the floor.
The difference between the two jobs therefore would not be one of extra skill on the part of the professional, but of a practical application of a knowledge of design and the way these things are usually done for the best results.
The closed-in base, as can readily be seen, is better from every standpoint. It shuts off a space that would collect dust yet be too low to permit of its being swept out. Thus for very little extra expenditure of labor and material a much more impressive and expensive-looking job results.
This principle can be extended to all kinds of furniture and cabinet-making jobs, including the selection of tools and the care they receive after they have been acquired. The professional gets the best tools he can afford, and buys at the same time

For lighting, nothing can beat daylight - and if that can't be arranged for, or if your shop must be used before and after daylight hours, the best substitute undoubtedly is the fluorescent light. It may cost more than an ordinary fixture but it will soon save the cost through smaller electricity bills.
However, just any kind of fluorescent lamps will not do - especially in shop concerned with colors and finishing. The lamps must give the closest approach to daylight that can be had. This can be checked by looking at paint color cards, first in daylight then by the light of the lamps.
The so-called "white" tube usually is much too pink, and the "daylight" tube much too blue. A combination of the two will give much better results - or at least the colors applied under such a light will look more natural in daylight.
To get good fluorescent distribution requires large lamps with long tubes (and two tubes to a fixture - which, incidentally, reduces flicker), or two fixtures to a tool so that there is no shadow on one side. The 40-watt tubes, four feet long, are ideal in many cases, but sufficient of them must be used to give adequate lighting over all working spaces and machines, without shadows.
For a power drill or jigsaw a supplementary spotlight will be called for, focused on the work and usually attached to the machine itself. These can be the ordinary type of light bulb, but they should have a shade so that the light is concentrated on the work and does not get in the operator's eyes.
