FAQ
How long does a piece take to finish?
It depends on which wood you choose, how complicated your design is and what amount of finishing you apply. Hardwoods require more care 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.
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 don't know what kind of wood to use, then go ahead and buy some cheap pine boards from Home Depot or Lowes. Once you have built your bench, you will need to sand it off and then finish it with a stain/varnish.
What tools work best for me?
When shopping for tools, it helps to think about your needs and preferences. Do you prefer metal handles or plastic? What size screws and nails do you use most often? Are you comfortable with power tools, or would you rather use hand tools?
What is the difference between a hobbyist or a professional woodworker, and how can you tell?
Hobbyists enjoy making things out of wood, whereas professionals focus more on the quality of their work. Hobbyists take great pride in their creations, and share them with family and friends. Before they start working on a project, professionals will spend hours researching the designs. Professionals will be meticulous about all aspects of their work, from selecting the right materials to finishing it.

How To
How to make wood joint
This tutorial will teach you how to join two pieces wood together. The "pocket hole joint" is a method whereby we drill holes into the wood and glue them together. This method works great if your wood is straight and smooth. You might consider dowel joinery if your wood isn’t straight or flat. 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 help ensure that the joint won't split later.
-
Glue Together Apply glue to both sides of the wood. Let the wood sit for 5 minutes, then clamp it together.
-
Connect the pieces. Once the glue has dried, clamp the pieces together so they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. After the glue dries, trim any excess wood around your joint.
You should leave enough space between the pieces to allow you to turn them inside-out.
