FAQ
Can I make my living doing this job?
Yes! Many woodworkers have this ability. According to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), woodworkers earned a median annual salary of $34,000 in May 2012. This is much higher than the national median of $31,000 per annum.
What is the difference between plywood and particle board?
Plywood is made of layers of wood that are pressed together under pressure. Plywood comes in several thicknesses and is commonly used for cabinets and flooring. Particle board consists of sawdust mixed and resin. The resin is then compressed into large blocks. It is used primarily for home improvements. Both types are sturdy and easy to cut.
How can I keep my shop organized?
Setting aside an area to store tools is the first step in keeping your workshop organized. Make sure your tools are clean and free of debris and dust so they can be used properly. To hang accessories and tools, use pegboard hooks.

How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will demonstrate how to join two pieces together of wood. We will use the "pockethole joint," which means that we drill holes in the wooden pieces and then glue them together. If your wood has a straight grain, smooth surface, you can use this method. You might consider dowel joinery if your wood isn’t straight or flat. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. Start by measuring and marking the spot where the pocket hole joint will be placed. Next, drill 3/4 inch holes in each end of each piece using a handheld drilling machine or jigsaw.
-
Sand Smooth. The wood's edges can be sanded to prevent splitting.
-
Glue Together. Apply glue to both ends of the wood. Allow the wood to rest for five minutes before clamping it together.
-
Attach the Pieces together. Once the glue has dried, clamp the pieces together so they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. Trim the excess wood around the joint after the glue has dried completely.
Make sure to leave enough room between the pieces so that you can turn them inside and out.
