FAQ
What are the basics of woodworking?
Building a bench is a great way to get started in furniture building. This project can easily be done using whatever wood you have at your house. If you're not sure which kind of wood to choose, you can purchase cheap pine boards at Lowes and Home Depot. Once you have built your bench, you will need to sand it off and then finish it with a stain/varnish.
What's the difference between plywood vs particle board?
Plywood is a combination of layers of wood, which are then pressed together under high pressure. Plywood is available in a variety of thicknesses. It is often used to make cabinets or flooring. Particle board is made of sawdust and resin that has been compressed into large blocks. It's used for home improvement projects. Both types of boards can be easily cut and are durable.
Can this be a way to make money?

How do I know what tools are best suited for me?
It is important to consider your needs and preferences when shopping for tools. What do you prefer: metal or plastic handles? What size of nails and screws do your hands use most? Are you more comfortable using power tools than hand tools?

How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will show you how to join two pieces of wood together. The "pocket hole joint" is a method whereby we drill holes into the wood and glue them together. This works well if the wood is straight and smooth. Try dowel joinery instead if your wood doesn't look straight. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. To start, measure and mark where you want to put the pocket hole joint. Use a jigsaw or handheld drilling machine to drill 3/8 inch deep holes at the ends of each wood piece.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the wood's edges will ensure that the joint doesn't split.
-
Glue together. Apply glue to both the ends of the wood. Let the wood sit for 5 minutes, then clamp it together.
-
Connect the pieces. 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.
To be able to turn the pieces inside-out, leave enough room between them.
