FAQ
How do I learn basic woodworking skills?
Building a bench is a great way to get started in furniture building. This project can be done with any kind of wood that you have at home. You don't need to know which type of wood you should use. Instead, get some pine boards at 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.
What type of wood should I choose?
Woodworking is a popular job that involves oak, pine and maple. Each wood variety has distinct characteristics that influence the final product's look and feel. Oak, for instance, is darker and harder than most other woods. Birch is light and soft, while mahogany can be heavier and more dense. You can also pick between veneers and solid wood. Veneers consist of thin sheets made from wood and glued together to form a single layer.
Do I have the potential to make a decent living doing this?
Yes! In fact, most woodworkers already have it. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' (BLS), in May 2012 the median annual wage of woodworkers was $34,000 This is higher than the $31,000 annual national average.
Do you know anything more about woodworking?
It is easy to underestimate how much work it takes to make furniture. The hardest part of the process is actually finding the right wood. It is difficult to choose between the various types of wood.
Another issue is that wood does not have the same properties. Wooden can split or crack, while some woods may warp. These factors should be taken into account before buying wood.

- If your lumber isn't as dry as you would like when you purchase it (over 22% in Glen Huey's opinion…probably over 10-15% in my opinion), then it's a good idea to let it acclimate to your workshop for a couple of weeks. (woodandshop.com)
- In 2014, there were just over 237,000 jobs for all woodworkers, with other wood product manufacturing employing 23 percent; wood kitchen cabinets and countertop manufacturing employing 21 percent. (theartcareerproject.com)

How To
Tips for driving a nail in wood
First, choose the right size and type of tool to drive a nail through wood. There are many types of hammers that you will find: claw hammers and sledgehammers; mallets; ball peen hammers; and hatchets. Each type of tool has its advantages and drawbacks. For example, a claw hammer works best when you want to hit something hard, like nails; however, it's difficult to control precisely where the blow lands. The sledgehammer works well for large areas, but is too heavy for smaller tasks.
Once you have chosen the right hammer for you, put your hand flat against its side so that it rests comfortably in the palm of your hand. Hold the handle in your hand, but don’t force it too hard that you break. Hold the hammer straight up, keeping your wrist relaxed. Next, swing the hammer toward the ground and aim for the nail's center. You should feel the impact from the hammer striking a nail. Try practicing with a block to help you master the art of swinging a stick.
Once you are ready to drive the nail, place the hammer close to your body. To ensure that the nail is perpendicular on the surface of the wooden floor, position it. Keep your attention on the tip. Then, swing the hammer forward. Next, follow the motion of your hammerhead. Continue this motion several times, slowly increasing the speed of each swing. Once you have mastered this technique, increase the power of your swings. To make it more powerful, hold the hammer up high to your shoulder and then bring it down. This way, you'll be able to put more energy behind your blows.
Once you have successfully drilled the first hole in the nail, remove the hammer. You can then remove the rest of the nails using a prybar or a screwdriver. Keep the nails heads in line with the surface of the board to prevent splitting the wood.
