Robert asks…
Where can i get building plans?
I use to do construction and woodworking and anything I could do that was hands on in high school. My construction teacher alway printed off bulding plans from what seemed like the enternet. Well I want to build a gun display for my pistols and long guns as well but im having a hard time in the search for a site that has printable plans. Any ideas?

Woodworking combined with business or some sort of other college major?
so basically i am a senior in high school, im taking woodshop, and ive made many things, a foosball table, hockey table, fruit press(juicer), etc, and i love it with a passion, but im likely to get accepted to Humboldt State, Chico State, or Cal State Long Beach, what major could i go into and plan out a way to connect the two? what could i do? i dont want woodworking just as a hobby, what do you think? Thanks.
i know carpentry would be a buisness, but something else, like a carpentry company signing there work to another company, or something, i really dont know
admin answers:
I know a architecture professor that did and taught furniture design but you might want to look at something more business oriented or maybe you want to teach woodworking.
Some universities offer training in wood technology, furniture manufacturing, wood engineering, and production management. These programs prepare students for positions in production, supervision, engineering, and management and are increasingly important as woodworking technology advances.
Found this link “Woodworking Schools in California” but I did not see the schools you mentioned.

How do you construct a marketing plan fora company that sells high end wood sales to hotels/banks.?
I am in charge of putting together a marketing program for a woodworking company that does high end sales. How do you begin to construct one.
I also need to set up a program to have new agents come in and train to sell the product.
admin answers:
Well, first you need to look around and see what other companies supply with the same product and do a comparison (analyze your strengths and weakneses as well as advantages you have over other products).
Then, describe your product and decide how you want to position it for your target clients (usually this requires research)
you may want to emphasize on quality of your product, uniquness, or that it is of modern style, or classic, etc.
Then identify the channels through which you are going to outreach your clients: direct marketing, or other channels.
Then describe what kind of marketing materials you will prepare (printed material, website, sometimes wood samples help)
and then attach a budget
Betty asks…
should I buy a serrated pocket knife or a plain edged one?
planning just to carry it around, or woodworking w/ it. also, if I do get one I will get something w/ woodsaw, like the One Hand Trekker (swiss army).
admin answers:
Serrated edges are great for cutting rope, straps and such but not too good at fine work. I have one with a serration at the base and plain at the last 3/4′s. Works well for me.

How to make a magic lantern?
I need to make a magic lantern for a communications class project, and i was wondering if anyone had any plans on how to make such an object. An example of what i need to make can be found at http://chestofbooks.com/home-improvement/woodworking/Handicraft-For-Boys/How-to-Make-a-Magic-Lantern.html the only problem with this design is that my project is due friday so i cant get the lenses they are talking about. Anyone have any ideas?
admin answers:
I’d thought that any regular camera lens could be used for making things like this (parlor tricks, primitive camera projection thingies, in a dark room), but perhaps try this one instead:
