Hone Your Woodworking Skills
Want to construct a new project? Check out these 4 fun and practical furniture woodworking crafts you may create! The greatest thing is that they only need a few basic tools and some good old-fashioned labor; they don’t need a whole workshop or years of woodworking skills.
Make a Wooden Chopping Board and Serving Tray
Slice, dice and serve in style on this easy, attractive board. We’ll show you a simple way to dry-fit the parts, scribe the arc, and then glue the whole thing together. We used a 4-ft. steel ruler to scribe the arcs, but a yardstick or any thin board would also work. Be sure to use water-resistant wood glue, and keep your board out of the dishwasher or it might fall apart. And one more thing: Keep the boards as even as possible during glue-up to minimize sanding later.
Keep Your Shoes Off the Floor With This Shoe Organizer
Store shoes up off the floor in clean, natural wood racks. This simple storage system can handle everything from winter boots to summer sandals, with no mud buildup or scuff marks on the wall. Build one to share or one for each member of the family. For wet shoes and boots, we recommend this attractive, simple-to-make tray.
Build This Portable Small Bench
Give your back and knees a break with this portable, easy-to-build seat/step stool/toolbox/work surface. It only takes a couple of hours to build and you’ll find dozens of uses for it. If you’re looking for a small bench/step stool that’s a little more attractive than this one, here’s one for you to consider.
Create a Sleek and Simple Coat and Hat Rack
Clear up entryway clutter with a simple coat and hat rack that you can build in about an hour from a 6 ft. 1×4 and coat hooks. Cut the boards to fit your space, paint them, outfit them with different kinds of hooks to suit your needs, and then screw them to the wall.
