FAQ
Where can I begin with woodworking
Building furniture is the best way to learn how furniture is made. You will need tools. There are bound to be mistakes. But if your persistence is consistent, you will soon master the craft.
Choose a project that interests you. You can make a simple box or a large entertainment center. Once you've settled on a project find a local skilled woodworker. Ask him or her for advice on what tools you'll need and where to find them. Ask if you can find someone who does this kind work.
How long does it usually take to complete a piece furniture?
It all depends on what type of wood you use, how complex your design is, and how much finishing you use. Hardwoods, on the other hand, are more durable than softwoods. Hardwoods tend to be more expensive that softwoods. But they last longer, and resist moisture better. The average time it takes to finish furniture is one week to three weeks.
How do I know what type of wood I'm dealing with?
Always verify the label on wood purchases. The label should provide information about the wood species, moisture content, and whether preservatives have been used.
This is a job that I can make a living from.
Yes! Many woodworkers are already doing so. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the median annual wage for woodworkers was $34,000 in May 2012. That's higher than the national average of $31,000 per year.
How can a woodworker start making money?
Many people learn how to make furniture in order to set up an online business. If you are just starting to build furniture, there are many other ways to make money than selling on Etsy. You could also sell at craft fairs, or other local events. You could also offer workshops to help others learn how to make their own furniture. Consider offering your services if you have previous experience as a builder or carpenter.

How To
How to make wood joint
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. This works well if the 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. You will need to measure and mark the exact location of your 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 edges of the wood will help to prevent the joint from splitting later.
-
Glue the two sides of the wood together. Apply glue on both sides of the wooden plank. Let the wood sit for 5 minutes, then clamp it together.
-
Attach the Pieces together. After the glue has dried completely, you can clamp the pieces together until they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. Trimming the joinery after glue has completely dried.
Be sure to leave enough space between each piece so that they can be turned inside-out.
