Quick Project: Drawers & Cabinet Doors

Big projects are best broken down into smaller projects. Cabinet Doors and Drawers are great parts to complete in a weekend, and can be part of a larger product that is much more thorough.

Woodworking Project Instructions

Take a look at the link in my profile, or look around the internet. It's amazing what you might find!

Too many times I've seen people start a plan that is more than they need. They often can't finish it, and this is because they've picked a project that is too big. The most important thing in staying in woodworking in the long term is that your projects get finished.

Focus on quality in the long term. You'll be glad that you did, and find that good projects and good tools can make a project much more fulfilling

Little Projects

Start with something simple. Bird-feeders, candle holders, and other small projects are a good starting place. You can always make another one if you don't like it, so focus on completing the project, and learning where you can improve in the future.

Small projects can be the best way to learn to focus on quality, and by doing so you can ensure that you'll be properly covered when it comes time to working on larger projects.

Specialty Woodworking

Larger projects can always be completed, but it's important to consider that they can take a while to get done. Look for options that will let you stop for a break along the way, and you'll see the entire project as more in line over time.

Keep the Shed Clean - Dust Collection Time!

Cleanup cleanup cleanup! It's always the most laborious part of a project, but it can be the most rewarding. Consider that keeping the shed clean is an important item that lets you stay productive. I always feel energized when I return to a clean shed. Make sure you plan for cleanup time whenever you're done with a project - it will make your life much easier, and keep things as simple as possible.

Quick Task Tip - Stripped Screw-holes and How to Repair Them

When looking for alternate options for woodworking, I always like to look for other tasks like repairing stripped screw-holes. Stripped screw holes can be a major pain, and over time can cause problems with existing projects. By taking the time to repair some as a weekend project, you'll get more life out of the projects you've already created.

Woodworking is a great way to enjoy a weekend! Remember that producing is a great feeling, and that you'll quickly be building products you never thought you could!
