You may think woodworking is a dark, difficult art, beyond mere mortals like yourself. That is silly. Anyone can work with wood. You just have to actually be willing to learn. In this article we will discuss some basic principles of woodworking.
Make sanding blocks that are reusable. Begin by using scrap plywood to cut six blocks for each type of sandpaper grit. They need to be 2.5″ X4.75″. Put spray glue on a cork tile and each block. Stick one block to your cork and be sure to cut your cork flush using a utility knife. Spray adhesive on your sandpaper, and then stick it to every cork block, facing down. Fnally, make sure you cut sandpaper flush with the cork, and label every block.
Do you know how to find the best height for your workbench? In order to attain the perfect workbench height, first measure how far it is from the middle of your waist to the floor. This will give you the optimum height for a perfect workbench.
Never use your own fingers as guidance when cutting narrow chunks of wood. Use a thin piece of wood instead. Use it to guide the wood through the saw. This will prevent you from loosing a finger or two, which would make working with wood very difficult.
