    Ok, so I'm a beginner woodworker. I only have a saw, a crayon and some rasps in my arsenal. I've been wanting to buy some beech or oak planks (100x20x2 cm) but they're all made from glued pieces of thinner wood. Do I face any risk of separation between the pieces, or is everything fine? Here's a...

    Hey there! First off a little bit of background: I've always wanted to work with wood but didn't have the chance until now (no space, no money). I only have basic handtools and some handheld power tools, which should be enough to start the obsession :grin: I've received a lot of wood as a gift...

    Hey guys, I'm pretty new to woodworking, especially on the furniture side. I got into wood working about a year ago when I built my first plywood drawer cabinet. I then followed up with an ambitious project of rebuilding our 20x26 deck from the footers up. This really got me interested in...

But still was able to...

    Hey folks. I was hoping to get some feedback on the attached plans I created for a very large counter-height craft table. I'm new to woodworking (about 2 years messing around with projects in my spare time), and really hoping that what I've designed is structurally sound. I welcome any and all...

    Hello from Raleigh. I joined because I am looking to learn as much as I can. I am mostly new to real woodworking and looking back on my past projects I realize that I wish I would have done things differently. My grandfather was a woodworker and did some very nice stuff, however I was still...
  15. Power Tools & Machinery
    I'm new to woodworking and I'm trying to get a handle on what tools work best. I inherited a handful of saws and power tools from my father which I've used for working around the house but never for creative woodworking. Right now I'm building up my skills on some of the starter projects in Nick...
