FAQ
How can a novice woodworker make it big?
Many people want to open an online furniture business and are learning how to build it. If you are just starting to build furniture, there are many other ways to make money than selling on Etsy. Local craft fairs and events are great places to sell your products. Or you could offer workshops for others who want to learn how to build their own furniture. Perhaps you have some experience as a carpenter/builder and would like to offer your services, such as remodeling homes and creating custom pieces.
What else should I know about woodworking in general?
It's easy to underestimate the amount of work involved in making furniture. Finding the right kind of wood is the most difficult part. There are so many wood options that it can be difficult to choose the right one.
Another problem is that not all wood has uniform properties. Some woods will warp over time, others will split or crack. Before purchasing wood, you should consider these factors.
Can I refinish my own furniture?
Yes! There are many options for refinishing furniture that you don't need to hire a professional. Here are some suggestions:
To remove stains and scratches, use sandpaper. After that, use a clean towel to wipe the surface.
Apply clear polyurethane paint. Allow to dry completely before moving furniture.
Acrylic paint can be used to paint furniture.
Use stain instead of paint. Furniture will look richer with the stain.
Shellac wax can be applied. Applying wax will give the wood shine and protection.
What's the time taken to finish a piece furniture?
It depends on what size piece of furniture you have. A smaller project like picture frames or boxes can be completed in a single day. Larger projects such as tables and desks can take several days to complete. It takes time to properly stain and seal wood.
Is it necessary to be a genius in woodworking to succeed?
No. Woodworking is not difficult. It is possible to learn basic tools and techniques that will allow you to create beautiful art.

How To
How to make wood joint
This tutorial will show you how to join two pieces of wood together. We will be using the "pocket-hole joint", which involves drilling holes in wood and then gluing them together. This method is great if your wood's straight and smooth. Try dowel joinery instead if your wood doesn't look straight. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. Start by measuring and marking the spot where the pocket hole joint will be placed. You will then drill 3/4" deep holes through each piece of wood with a jigsaw, handheld drilling machine, or hand-held drill.
-
Sand Smooth. The wood's edges can be sanded to prevent splitting.
-
Glue Together. Apply glue to both ends of the wood. Allow it to sit for approximately 5 minutes before you clamp the pieces together.
-
Clamp the Pieces Together. After the glue has dried you can attach the pieces to form a flush joint.
-
Trim Joinery. Trimming the joinery after glue has completely dried.
Make sure to leave enough room between the pieces so that you can turn them inside and out.
