FAQ
What kind wood should I use for my project?
Woodworking is a popular job that involves oak, pine and maple. Each type of wood has its own unique characteristics that can affect the final product's appearance. Oak, for instance, is darker and harder than most other woods. Birch is lightweight and soft while mahogany is heavier and denser. You also have the option of solid wood or veneers. Veneers are thin wood sheets that are glued together to form one layer.
How can I learn basic skills in 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. Once you have built your bench, you will need to sand it off and then finish it with a stain/varnish.
Is it possible to refinish your own furniture?

Use sandpaper on the surface to remove any stains or scratches. Then wipe down the surface with a clean cloth.

Acrylic paint is a great way to paint furniture.
Instead of using paint, stain is a better choice. Furniture will look richer with the stain.
Use shellac wax. This will protect and shine the wood.

How do you measure wood accurately?

A digital caliper has two jaws that open and close. One jaw holds the object being measured and the other measures the distance between them. Digital calipers are great for measuring small distances, such as thicknesses of wood.
Laser levels feature an infrared-light beam that projects lines across the floor. The laser emits a red dot on the line. If you look down on the line, it will show whether the surface appears even or not. Laser levels are ideal for checking the accuracy on large surfaces.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. The device's center bubble is visible. The device will indicate whether the surface is level as long as it is centered. Bubble levels can be used for checking the accuracy in smaller areas.
