Study O_o ?
just get some wood and some nails and build a tree house
Or get a lathe and make a dildo, 3 footer n whatnot. Best way to learn.
I've made countless dildo's n whatnot

I personally grew up in a family full of carpenters and wood workers so it has really always been second nature to me.  But yeah this actually seems to be the best way to learn is to just start doing it.  I mean make sure you know which side of the saw to put the wood in and make sure your fingers are back but besides that get to it.

(I think i chose wrong word, not very good at english)Ofc we have alot of practice works. ATM im on a sofatable project.
The task was to make a small table (i chose to make sofatable) wich has 4 legs supported with structure that are attached to legs with tenon joints. (dont know structure name in english)
Also the table must have a drawer with dovetail joints.
Basically we have to design all of our projects from scratch. We only have a task/theme to work with. We have to draw technical drawings with all the details and joints before we can start making them.

But we have lots of "studying" or w/e about how to desing good products, how to choose the right wood and the right joints for the work to be good and lasting, how to combine round and straight, thin and thick shapes, light and dark colors for the work to be interesting to look at for a long time.
so we study how to make and design woodworks!

I'll up some pictures of my table when its ready. though that can take more than a month beacuse im going to germany.

Oh so basically it's like an apprenticeship just through school?  I think I would actually enjoy something like that
