FAQ
What would you recommend as a starting material for woodworking?
You can start with softwoods like pine or poplar. These two are the easiest to master, then you can transition to hardwood.
What are the basics of woodworking?
You can start building furniture by making a bench. This project can be completed with whatever wood you have available at home. If you aren't sure what type of wood to use, you can buy cheap pine boards from Lowes or Home Depot. After building your bench, sand off any rough edges and apply a stain or varnish.
Is there anything else I should know about woodworking?
It is easy to underestimate how much work it takes to make furniture. Finding the right kind of wood is the most difficult part. It can be hard to choose from the many types of wood that are available.
Another problem is that not all wood has uniform properties. Some woods will crack or warp with time. Others will split or crack. You must take these things into consideration before purchasing wood.
What is the average time it takes to finish furniture?
It depends on the wood type you choose, the complexity and the amount you apply to the finished product. Hardwoods, on the other hand, are more durable than softwoods. Hardwoods tend to be more expensive that softwoods. But they last longer and resist moisture better. Finishing furniture can take anywhere from one week up to three months.

How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will demonstrate how to join two pieces together of wood. The "pocket hole joint" is a method whereby we drill holes into the wood and glue them together. This method is great if your wood's straight and smooth. Try dowel joinery instead if your wood doesn't look straight. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. Start by measuring and marking the spot where the pocket hole joint will be placed. You will then drill 3/4" deep holes through each piece of wood with a jigsaw, handheld drilling machine, or hand-held drill.
-
Sand Smooth. You can sand the edges of the wood to ensure that it doesn't split.
-
Glue together. Apply glue to both sides of the wood. Let the wood sit for 5 minutes, then clamp it together.
-
Clamp the Pieces Together. Once the glue has dried, clamp the pieces together so they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. Trim any excess wood surrounding the joint once the glue has dried completely.
Make sure to leave enough room between the pieces so that you can turn them inside and out.
