Can I make a living doing this?

How can I learn basic woodworking skills

It is an excellent way to learn how to build furniture. You can make a simple bench yourself. This project can easily be done using whatever wood you have at your house. If you don't know what kind of wood to use, then go ahead and buy some cheap pine boards from Home Depot or Lowes. After you've built your bench, you'll want to sand off all the rough edges and finish it with a stain or varnish.


How can my shop be organized?

How To

How to make wooden joints

This tutorial will demonstrate how to join two pieces together of wood. We will use the pocket hole joint, which is drilling holes in the wood to join them. This method works great if your wood is straight and smooth. Try dowel joinery instead if your wood doesn't look straight. Here are the steps

  1. Drill Pocket Hole Joints. Measure and mark the location where you would like to place the pocket hole joint. Next, drill 3/4 inch holes in each end of each piece using a handheld drilling machine or jigsaw.
  2. Sand Smooth. Sanding the edges of the wood will help to prevent the joint from splitting later.
  3. Glue both sides together. Apply glue to the sides of both wood. Allow it to sit for approximately 5 minutes before you clamp the pieces together.
  4. Fix the Pieces together. After the glue has dried you can attach the pieces to form a flush joint.
  5. Trim Joinery. Trimming the joinery after glue has completely dried.

Be sure to leave enough space between each piece so that they can be turned inside-out.
