You have seen some of the very nice pieces of furniture and decorative items many people have in their homes. You have admired them and asked questions about where the home owner got them. They may tell you that these are one of a kind pieces that they made and you may or may not believe them. Then you find out the person started out by doing beginner woodworking projects that grew from there.
A lot of people furnish their homes, largely, with the woodworking projects they created in their garage or shop. There is nothing difficult about doing this if you take care of the proper measurements and make sure you are working safely. This is all about creativity, imagination and love for the wood.
The first major project you will have is the one that every handy man needs. That is a tool box to carry all of your little things in. This is just a rectangular box and a handle. There may even be dividers in it for a classification of different items. Scrap wood pieces can be used for this and the size does not matter, however, measuring this piece will help you define your skills in this matter.
A table of some kind is probably next as this is a good item to have no matter where it is put. Sanding the wood down and finishing it with a quality varnish or stain will show you it is easy to follow directions and make a nice piece. These are the kinds of things the beginner can make and, for every piece completed, the next one is looked on as another opportunity.
Selecting wood is one of the main things to learn. There are many species of fiber to use and all of them will give something different to the project. The color or tone of the wood will look better in some rooms or for some projects than others. The grain is something to consider when working with wood. Some have coarse grains and others are very fine and cut and sand well.
Hammers, awls, hand cranked drills as well as planes and a work bench are part of a large list which can do all of the work you need to perform on these constructions. These are part of a non electric set of tools and many people appreciate their creativity and usefulness without spending money on electricity. Many people have spent many hours lovingly working without the hum and tearing sounds of more aggressive tools.
Powered tools are the modern approach to this hobby which can become more than that. Drill presses, circular saws as well as various hand drills, sanders and routers will make quick work of any project. The problem here, of course, is the chance that these tools can get away from you.
The plans that are used to create all of these great things are very important. You will need the right designs, complete with the best list of materials and in the units of measurement you are familiar with. This type of quality information is available from a number of companies and finding them will help make this trial and error project into a satisfying hobby.
