Making Wood Working Plans Work for You

If you are like me I can't draw a bucket of water. But in order to be a good woodworker you should be able to draw and read plans correctly. This will give you time to actually think about what you are wanting to build. It will save you a lot of time and material to be able to read plans and know what is required in a project.

I know if you are like me you want to get in there and start cutting wood. I love the smell of freshly cut wood. Then to start putting the project together. But if you do then you will make mistakes that can end up costing time and money.

So let's take it one step at a time, and learn to do it right.

A Tools List for Homeowners

Whether you're a beginner or a master carpenter. You should have some tools at the home for projects that are going to crop up when you own your own home.

This includes, shutting off the water, changing faucet valves, fixing loose fixtures, removing faceplates on electrical plugins, and wall switches for painting, or fixing water leaks under the sinks, tightening screws on cabinet handles, drawer handles, and such. When you are a homeowner, then you become responsible for all the repairs.

How to keep from hitting the wrong nail.

Hitting the right nail
Hitting a nail with a hammer seems like an easy thing to do! For a lot of people it is easy to hit the nail, unfortunately it's a finger or thumb nail that they hit.

Even experts can't drive nails correctly all of the time. If you look at carpenter's hands you will probably notice that one or two fingernails are black.

One way to eliminate this condition is to find someone that will hold the nail for you. Good Luck with that!!!
