FAQ
Is it possible to open my own woodworking shop?
It is not easy to start a woodworking business. There are many laws and regulations you need to be aware of. But, this doesn't mean you need to go through all of the trouble of setting up your business. Many people prefer to join existing companies. This allows you to join existing businesses and pay only membership fees.
What would you recommend as a starting material for woodworking?
Start with softwoods, such as pine or poplar. These two are the easiest to master, then you can transition to hardwood.
How do I organize my shop?
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. Use pegboard hooks to hang tools and accessories.

How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will demonstrate how to join two pieces together of wood. We'll use the "pocket hole joint," which means we drill holes in the wood and then glue them together. This works well if the wood is straight and smooth. Dowel joinery might be a better option if your wood is not 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. Next, drill 3/4 inch holes in each end of each piece using a handheld drilling machine or jigsaw.
-
Sand Smooth. You can sand the edges of the wood to ensure that it doesn't split.
-
Glue Together. Apply glue on both sides of the wooden plank. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before clamping the pieces together.
-
Secure the pieces together. After the glue has dried you can attach the pieces to form a flush joint.
-
Trim Joinery. Trimming the joinery after glue has completely dried.
Allow enough space between pieces so you can turn them inside out.
