Woodworking for Beginners

 This is a section from A Beginners Guide to Woodworking: Helping New Woodworkers Make Better Projects, which is available on Amazon. Over the next month, you will be able to read the entire book, and I hope that you like it enough to get tour own copy. Enjoy.

Introduction

This book is meant to be a guide for the new woodworker that just needs some help reducing the world of woodworking down to something more manageable. Most people do not have anyone to guide them in the beginning, and that can be frustrating.

The beauty and the misery of woodworking is that it’s a mile wide and a mile deep. There are so many different things that can be considered woodworking, and you can spend a lifetime on each of them. As a Woodworking for Beginners, making decisions and picking a direction can seem much harder than it really is.

I wish I had a book like this when I first started woodworking a long time ago. It would have saved me tons of mistakes, wasted time, and destroyed wood. There were many times when it would have been nice to have someone just tell me what to do next, or tell me about that easy to apply finish while I was struggling with a difficult product.

My goal is to show you that woodworking is a wonderful hobby, and that it’s not as difficult as some people make it out to be. You can get started in woodworking quickly, easily, and without a large investment in tools in most cases.

 

You can even start learning about woodworking right away following the directions in this book.
