Excelente conteúdo e professor com domínio do assunto. Algumas etapas importantes foram omitidas, como corte e preparo da madeira com plainas de desengrosso e desempeno. Isso é crucial, especialmente para iniciantes. Legendas péssimas prejudicando a compreensão. Falta opção de áudio em inglês, sem sobreposição de vozes e música de fundo. Eu não recomendaria o curso para iniciantes na marcenaria.

Estoy iniciando en el trabajo con madera. Me gustó que contempla elementos fundamentales del trabajo con este material, tal como características del tipo de corte de la madera y como se comportará con la humedad ; los tipos de pegamentos, sus características y comportamiento ante la humedad y lijado; las herramientas básicas a tener y cómo afilar las que lo requieren.
Esto es muy importante para mí, porque me gusta comprender más que seguir una receta pauteada.
