FAQ
What's the difference between a hobbyist and a professional woodworker?
Hobbyists are passionate about making things from wood, while professionals tend to be more focused on the quality and craftsmanship of their work. Hobbyists often take pride in the creations they make and often share them to family and friends. Professionals will spend hours looking at designs before they start to build a project. They will pay attention to every detail, from selecting the best materials to finishing the project perfectly.
Where can I buy woodworking supplies?
There are many places where you will find everything that you need. You could shop at your local hardware store or go online to Amazon.com.
You might also consider flea markets and garage sale for any old furniture or other materials you could reuse.
What kind of wood should I use?
Woodworking is a popular job that involves oak, pine and maple. Every type of wood is different and can have a unique look and feel that will affect the final product. For example, oak tends to be darker and harder than other woods. Birch is lightweight and soft while mahogany is heavier and denser. You can also choose from solid wood or veneers. Veneers are thin sheets of wood that are glued together to form a single layer.
How much does a hobbyist need to invest in getting started?
It is likely that you will need some capital in order to buy the required tools and supplies if your goal is to open your own woodworking business. You can start by purchasing a small table saw and drill press as well as a circular saw, circular saw, jigsaw and sanding machines. These items aren’t too expensive so you won’t have to break the bank.
Is it possible to refinish your own furniture?
Yes! There are many options for refinishing furniture that you don't need to hire a professional. Here are some ideas:
Use sandpaper to remove scratches and stains. Use a clean cloth to wipe the surface.
Apply clear polyurethane paint. Allow to dry thoroughly before moving furniture.
Use acrylic paint to paint furniture.
Use stain instead of paint. The furniture will get a rich look with the stain.
Use shellac wax. The wax will add shine to the wood and protect it.
What is the average time it takes to finish furniture?
It all depends on how large the furniture is. Boxes and picture frames are small projects that can be completed in one day. Larger projects, such as desks and dining tables, can take several days. It takes time to properly stain and seal wood.

How To
How do you accurately measure wood?
There are many methods for measuring wood. We use a digital scale (a tool for measuring distances), a laser-level (used to level your work surface), as well as a bubble level (used in order to level your work surface).
A digital caliper has two jaws that open and close. One jaw holds the measured object while the other measures the distance between the two points. The digital calculator is ideal for measuring very small distances, like the thicknesses or wood.
Laser levels use an infrared beam of light to project a line across the ground. The laser emits red dots on the line. It is possible to see if the surface of the surface are even by looking down at it. For larger surfaces, laser leveling is the best method of checking accuracy.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. There is a bubble in the center of the device. The device will indicate whether the surface is level as long as it is centered. Bubble levels are good for checking the accuracy of smaller areas.
