TABLE OF CONTENTS

INTRODUCTION

As significant as wood in this era of human existence, it may be a little disregarded and maybe a little undervalued in this age where technology dominates. It's a natural resource valuable to our everyday lives as many things we do revolve around. If you take a close look around you, you will see a lot of items that are made from wood.

Imagine sitting in your tool box with your daily nail and reflecting on how much it has grown over the past few hundred years. Tools have developed over time to make woodworking projects more precise, durable, and faster.

The tools that have been used for many years are hammers, mallets, saws, planers, calibers, squares, nails, used to build houses, cabinets, ships, and furniture.

In this guide, I will be taken you through an overview of precisely what woodworking is, tools, safety tips, mistakes to avoid, techniques, projects to get you started, and more to expect from it. There are quite hundreds of books dealing with complete details of this hobby at an advanced level, but in this book, were going to look at every bit of woodworking right from scratch to becoming a master of it.

Im guessing you have never done anything out of woodworking and have little or NO experience. I will begin by addressing the most common questions you might have been considering as a starter and probably you want to ask due to basic knowledge.

Trust me, woodworking is an amazing craft so why dont you just sit back and relax while you take advantage of this book? You could be the next woodworking expert in time.

CHAPTER 1: WOODWORKING BASICS PART ONE

What is woodworking?

Woodworking is a productive art involving the creation of decorative and/or useful items by carving, arranging, and joining wood.

For woodworking, there's nothing physically taxing and you can create at your own pace. The basic principles are easy to understand, but as your abilities grow, it's a hobby that will still stay new and challenging. You would enjoy woodworking if you love problem-solving.

With every project I create, I've been at this for over 35 years and face new challenges that are part of it. Using your hands and brain, it is also rewarding to make pretty cool things for your house. In general, woodworking is a very lonely experience: you would enjoy woodworking if you are a little introverted and love taking on tasks from start to finish.

Who are woodworkers?

Two stereotypes of woodworkers used to be there. The cranky shop teacher who taught kids who didn't want to be there in a very boring class, and the old grandpa who put a lot of time in his garage to build an occasional birdhouse.

Those stereotypes, luckily, are no longer accurate. Owing to online forums and the affordability of instruments and tools, there is more variety in woodworking today than ever before.

There has been significant growth in two classes of people who have made woodworking a passion in the last ten years. Women first. When a female woodworker was rare, it wasn't that long ago. Female woodworkers are commonplace today. Everything about woodworking seems possible for everyone to engage in.

Among millennials, individuals in their 20s and 30s, the second major generational increase has been. All the time I hear from people working in the Silicon Valley or just doing some kind of office job and finding the urge to do something with their hands.

Are there variations between a "maker" and a "woodworker"?

A maker is a comparatively recent concept that has arisen in the past decade or so. For people who like to dabble in various crafts, it's an all-encompassing term. This could include a little woodworking, metalworking, epoxying, concreting, programming for computers, computing, 3D printing, baking, weaving, knitting, jewelry making, sculpting, ceramics, robots, and playing with Legos. So, essentially, both of us are designers.

A woodworker is a manufacturer who is mostly involved in studying and improving the art of wood making material. We bring other materials to our projects often but the emphasis is on wood. It's a durable, inexpensive material that's easy to create with.

Is there a difference between carpentry and woodworking?

This is a little unclear with little or no difference. But personally, I like to think of carpenters as constructing structures... houses and buildings. Job on Building. I do not think of framing a house as woodworking out of boards, beams, and 2x4s. Woodworking appears to be furniture for renovation and other moveable objects. That said there are a lot of individuals who refer to carpenters as woodworkers, so it doesn't really matter.

Is there a difference between cabinet making and making furniture?

Again there is no significant difference between these two words, but cabinet builders design items for me that are firmly fixed in place, such as the kitchen cabinets, and are more concerned with the surfaces that would be noticeable.

Furniture can be mounted anywhere the owner wants and further pieces of the finished product can also be available.

Cabinets can use more plywood than most furniture and are constructed with screws and other mechanical fasteners, whereas solid lumber is mostly used for furniture and heavier joinery and glue are typically assembled. Furniture making might require higher accuracy.

Yet here there is a lot of duplication. I designed a lot of plywood and screw furniture and I saw some beautiful cabinetry that rivals high-end furniture.

HISTORY

The history of woodworking is almost as old as that of the human race. Woodworking was helpful in making the tools needed for survival, particularly for shelter and hunting, just about when humans stood up on two feet and started walking.

Wood was definitely one of the main materials used by primitive humans, along with animal parts, mud, and rock. Of necessity, evolutionary development has been closely related to the advancement of increasingly greater abilities in dealing with these tools.

These are some of the earliest discoveries of wooden tools used by our ancestors, including the utility sticks used in Clacton-on-Sea, Lenhringen and Kalambo Falls to the spears in Schningen, Germany. Since the Neolithic era, flint tools such as the Linear Pottery culture of Eythra and Kckhofen have been used to carve wooden vessels.
