Try out different techniques. Part of being adventurous means testing out processes and tools. “You want a range of materials and a range of styles,” says McMurdo, pictured here.
“I use everything from a sander to an angle grinder,” Stevens says. “Most power tools are just common sense. Just practice a little on something that doesn’t matter.”
McMurdo finds that the bigger and noisier the power tool, the less likely he is to injure himself with it. “You have more respect for it,” he says, “so you’re more careful and less likely to hurt yourself.” Most people assume the more adventurous projects should be left to the experts, “but I always think, if the expert can do it, why can’t I?” McMurdo says.
But always read and follow relevant safety instructions. There’s adventurous, and then there’s plain reckless!
