Do it Yourself Woodworking Some Tips and Ideas to Start Your Own Woodworking Project

Do it yourself woodworking projects are fun activities that you can do at home and a good alternative to buying brand new furniture. It is also a good way to restore old furniture or make something new out of your furniture that has been stuck in your garage for long. It just takes a little creativity and you can do many projects by yourself.
Even if it is just your first time to do it on your own, you can however find some great resources that you will find useful in making your do it yourself woodworking project successful. You may however start with some simple projects to make it easier to complete. However, here are some tips that you might also find useful in your woodworking project.
-Your choice of wood. One of the things that you may need to decide when starting on a woodworking project is the wood to use. You can choose either softwood or hardwood in your projects or any kind of species depending also of the project you are making. Most often, hardwoods are used for indoor projects like cabinets or furniture and softwood are often for outdoor projects. In fact, softwoods are even used as lumber in most construction projects as they are easy for construction especially when you are using woodworking tools. If you are just starting, it may be wise to start with softwoods to make your project a little easier for you.- Sanding your wood is also important as this creates a smooth finish to your woodworking project, makes your project durable from wear and tear, and of course allows your painted project to be long-lasting. One of the most important tips in sanding your wood is to go with the grain. Going against it will create marks on your wood and may not look good with the finish or the paint. Also start with the coarse-grit sandpaper down to the finer ones.

There are different choices of finish and each of them have distinct properties - oil, varnish, urethane, wax, shellac, lacquers, make sure you know what is best for your project. If you want a tint of orange to your finish product, shellac may be a good choice to enhance the appearance of dark-colored woods. If you are doing an outdoor project, varnish may be suitable for you as this finish is resistant to moisture and solvent and also protects the wood from scratches.

ebay find before and after

a little before and after here. a client brought us the chair below. it had a lovely mousey bouquet about it and some really funky red fabric, but the bones were good, and the hardware was complete and functional. our friend isaiah at bespoke upholstery carefully disassembled it, saving the original fabric and frames for patterns .. the headrest is finished and will be reunited with its chair tomorrow. click the photos to enlarge them ..

and i happen to have on hand a skin of maine chili pepper leather from universal leather company that the client thought was perfect for it.

we sanded the walnut veneer lightly and touched up the black painted edges. we then gave it to our friend steve holman and he sprayed a little lacquer on it to freshen up the shine and get rid of the mouse odor.

pretty righteous upholstery work by isaiah ...

parts and patterns .. we made two new frames for the seat and back upholstery .. all the foam and burlap was replaced too.

very cool upholstery foundation design. obviously a factory chair. i tried to find one like it on google images but no luck ... info anyone?

very nicely laminated frame. i have no idea how they did that ... lots of pressure somehow. its kind of folded into shape.


the client asked us to reinforce the base so we added a 14 gauge plate
between the swivel and the seat. good to go ..
