Where can I begin with woodworking
You can learn the most effective way to build furniture by actually building it. You'll need tools, and you'll have to make mistakes along the way, but if you keep at it, you'll eventually figure out what you're doing.
Start by choosing a project you'd like to complete. It could be something as simple as a box or as elaborate as a full-scale entertainment center. Once you've decided on a project, find a local woodworker who specializes in that kind of work. Ask your local woodworker to help you determine the right tools for you and where they are located. You might even ask whether there's someone else you can talk to who does this kind of work.

How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will show you how to join two pieces of wood together. We will use the "pockethole joint," which means that we drill holes in the wooden pieces and then glue them together. If your wood has a straight grain, smooth surface, you can use this method. If your wood isn't straight or flat, you might want to try another method, such as dowel joinery. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. You will need to measure and mark the exact location of your pocket hole joint. With a handheld drill machine or jig saw, drill 3/4-inch deep holes in the ends of each piece.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the edges of the wood will help to prevent the joint from splitting later.
-
Glue Together Apply glue to both ends of the wood. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before clamping the pieces together.
-
Attach the Pieces together. After the glue has dried you can attach the pieces to form a flush joint.
-
Trim Joinery. After the glue dries completely, trim off any excess wood around the joint.
Allow enough space between pieces so you can turn them inside out.
