FAQ
Is it easy to start a woodworking business?
It's not easy to start your own woodworking business. There are many laws and regulations you need to be aware of. However, it doesn't necessarily mean you must go through all the hassle of setting up a business. Many people decide to join established businesses. This way, you only need to pay membership fees and taxes.
How long does it usually take to complete a piece furniture?
It depends on which wood you choose, how complicated your design is and what amount of finishing you apply. Hardwoods, on the other hand, are more durable than softwoods. Hardwoods are more expensive than other woods. But they last longer and resist moisture better. The average time it takes to finish furniture is one week to three weeks.
What is the main difference between plywood or particle board?
Plywood is made of layers of wood that are pressed together under pressure. Plywood comes with a range of thicknesses, and it is most commonly used for flooring and cabinets. Particle board is made from sawdust mixed with resin and then compressed into large blocks. It's often used for home renovation projects. Both types of boards are durable and easy to cut.

How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will teach you how to join two pieces wood together. The "pocket hole joint" is a method whereby we drill holes into the wood and glue them together. If your wood is straight and flat, this method will work well. You may want to consider other methods, such as dowel joining. These are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. Start by measuring and marking the spot where the pocket hole joint will be placed. 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 the two sides of the wood together. Apply glue to both ends of the wood. Let the wood sit for 5 minutes, then clamp it together.
-
Secure the pieces together. Once the glue has dried, clamp the pieces together so they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. After the glue dries, trim any excess wood around your joint.
Be sure to leave enough space between each piece so that they can be turned inside-out.
