But, when it comes to actual workshop plans, the field narrows significantly. Anyone wanting to build their own props would do well to start with a knowledge of workshop skills first. Once that is part of the arsenal, drawing up your own plans is pretty simple.

There was so much I didn't know when I started building magic props, and the results showed even if I didn't want to admit it.  If I had it to do all over again, I would take a class somewhere or hang out with a "real" woodworker for a while.

I cobbled together props out of what I could find using any method or technique that seemed befitting at the moment. Some things worked, some did not. Some looked good, some did not. The more I tried, the more I learned. The more I failed, the more I learned. The more I watched, the more I learned. The more I read, the more I learned. The more I asked, the more I learned. I'm still learning.

Oh, yeah! Me too.
Hmmmm... how does that go?
The more you learn the more you know. The more you know the more you forget. The more you forget the less you know. Where in the world did I read that?
