From an environmental perspective softwood is easier to replenish than hardwood, taking less time to grow to usable sizes and is grown in large forests around the world. Because of the tree shapes they can be grown closer together, so you get a higher density of timber per acre or hectare.

5. Garden Bench: This might seem difficult at first but it is surprisingly easy to execute once you have gained experience making other things. A bench that uses biscuit joinery technique is very comfortable, attractive and durable.

You can build your tool set over time but to start with the minimum you will need will include saws, chisels, a mallet, hammer, various screwdrivers, a drill, drill bits, a good measuring tape, rulers, carpenter’s square, various clamps, pencils, a good hand plane, selection of sandpaper and a good wood glue. There is a wide variety of tools that you can use but you certainly don’t need all of them to begin with.

In order to complete professional wood work projects at home, it is highly essential to have all the machines and tools that would help you to create different patterns and accessories. You must also organize your work in a proper manner and allot different tasks to every worker so that there is no confusion. You must know that even a small mistake can spoil the entire look of your furniture. You have to make a plan before you start with the projects. If you are new to this business then you can also take help from professionals who can guide you about the best techniques that you can use.

Softwood

Not long ago I was a complete novice when it came to wood working. What I quickly learned is that wood working projects are easy if you start with a complete plan. It can often be harder to find a good plan than it is to actually build an item.

Before you go off to the lumber yard think about what type of timber you want. A lot depends on whether you want a natural wood finish or a painted finish.

For this easy woodworking project there will be no screws, nails, joints or glue! The measurements for this project don’t have to be exact, simply adjust the measurements given here to your own preference. The materials you will need for this idea are four metres of rough cut 120mm x 180mm kiln dried oak. This can be sourced quite easily from most lumbar yards, if you shop around you will get a pretty good deal. If possible get the lumbar yard to cut the oak into four equal one metre lengths.

To finish the oak use a belt sander with a medium grit belt. Try and finish the bottom of the cutouts to a reasonably high standard as this ensures your beams sit square. My personal preference is to give the freshly sanded oak two coats of danish oil which enhances the oak grain. The end result is a rustic oak coffee table, which in the right setting looks very appealing.
