FAQ
What type of wood should I choose?
There are many wood types that are used in woodworking, including oak, maple and birch. Each type of wood has its own unique characteristics that can affect the final product's appearance. Oak, for instance, is darker and harder than most other woods. Birch is soft and lightweight, while mahogany is denser and heavier. There are two options: solid wood and veneers. Veneers consist of thin sheets made from wood and glued together to form a single layer.
How often should I buy new supplies?
You will likely need to replace some tools over time. You'll need to sharpen your hand tools regularly if you use them. You'll also need to replace parts if you use power tools. To avoid buying too much at once, try to spread your purchases out over a few months.
How do I identify the type of wood that I am dealing with?
Always inspect the label when buying wood. The label should include information about the wood species and its moisture content as well as whether or not it has been treated using preservatives.

How To
How do I accurately measure wood?
We use many methods to measure wood. A digital caliper is a tool that measures distances. We also use a laser level to ensure your work surface flattens.
A digital caliper can have two jaws, which open and close. The first jaw holds the object, and the second measures the distance between them. Digital calipers are great for measuring small distances, such as thicknesses of wood.
Laser levels use an infrared beam of light to project a line across the ground. The laser emits an infrared light beam that projects a line across the floor. If you look down on the line, it will show whether the surface appears even or not. Laser levels are best for checking the accuracy of large surfaces.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. The center of the device contains a bubble. As long as the bubble remains centered, the device can tell you if the surface has been leveled. The bubble levels can be used to check the accuracy of smaller areas.
