FAQ
How often should I purchase new supplies?
You'll probably have to replace some of your tools over time. If you're using hand tools, you'll need to sharpen them regularly. Power tools will require replacement parts every so often. To avoid buying too much at once, try to spread your purchases out over a few months.
Is it possible to refinish your own furniture?
Yes! You don't have to hire a professional to refinish furniture. There are many ways you can do it yourself. Here are some examples:
Use sandpaper on the surface to remove any stains or scratches. After that, use a clean towel to wipe the surface.
Apply clear polyurethane finish. Allow to dry thoroughly before moving furniture.
Acrylic paint is a great way to paint furniture.
Instead of using paint, stain is a better choice. You can give your furniture a rich appearance with stain.
Use shellac wax. Wax will protect the wood and add shine.
Do I need to be a genius to succeed in woodworking?
No. Woodworking is not rocket science. Anyone can learn to use basic powertools and techniques to create beautiful work of art.

How To
How to drive a nails in wood
First, choose the right size and type of tool to drive a nail through wood. Claw hammers include mallets, claw hammers (sledgehammers), mallets, ball-peen hammers, hatchets, and mallets. Each type has its strengths and weaknesses. A claw hammer works well when you're trying to hit nails with a heavy hammer. However it is difficult to precisely control where the blow hits. A sledgehammer is useful for striking large areas at once but too heavy to be effective for smaller tasks.
After you've chosen the right tool, hold your hand flat to the handle so it rests comfortably in one of your palms. Grab the handle tightly, but do not squeeze too hard. Hold the hammer straight up, keeping your wrist relaxed. Now, move the hammer towards the center of the nail by swinging it back. You should feel the impact of the hammer striking the nail. Try practicing with a block to help you master the art of swinging a stick.
You can now drive the nail by holding the hammer to your body. You will need to position the nail so it is parallel to the wood. Keep your focus on the tip of each nail. Swing your hammer forward. Then follow through with the motions of the hammerhead. Keep doing this until you are comfortable with the swing. Try adding power to your swings when you've mastered the technique. To make it more powerful, hold the hammer up high to your shoulder and then bring it down. This will help you put more energy behind each of your moves.
After you have nailed the hole, take the hammer off the nail. To pull out the remaining nails, use a screwdriver or pry bar. Keep the nails heads in line with the surface of the board to prevent splitting the wood.
