Woodworking is an enjoyable and rewarding hobby that allows you to create functional items to use or display
1. Cutting Board A homemade cutting board makes for a great weekend woodworking project.
You can craft it from a single block of wood like maple, walnut, cherry or teak which are naturally anti-microbial.
2. Birdhouse Simple birdhouses are wonderful quick projects for woodworkers of any skill level.
You only need one small block of untreated wood, hammer, nails, saw, drill with bits, sandpaper, and outdoor paint and/or stain.
3. Planter Box Building a wooden planter box lets you plant flowers or herbs in your own custom-sized container.
With just six boards of cedar, pine, or redwood, plus a saw, nails, drill, scissors, and staple gun you can create a simple planter in an hour or two for your porch, patio or yard.
Magazine Rack Keep reading material organized in a handy custom-built rack. For this project, stain some pine boards in the color finish of your choice.
. Then measure, mark, cut, construct with wood glue and clamps, sand edges smooth, and apply polyurethane for protection.
Picture Frame Crafting wooden picture frames lets you display photos, art, prints or mirrors in a frame with personal significance.
All you need is wood boards, trim pieces, nails, wood glue, clamps, sandpaper, wood conditioner, stain/paint and picture hanging hardware.
Measure and cut wood pieces to size, construct frame, glue and clamp trim pieces, sand, finish with stain or paint, insert picture, glass and backing, then hang proudly.
