Are you looking for a new hobby? Woodworking is a great way to spend time creating furniture or shelving for your home. Whether you need a new bench or desk, you can create something new with a little patience, determination, and guidance! Here are a few beginner woodworking projects to start this weekend.
A Writing Desk
Having a place to keep work organized is important for those who work from home. A great beginner woodworking project to start this weekend is a writing desk. These desks are simpler to make because they’re smaller and typically don’t require adding a drawer. You can add paint, decorative items, and plants to dress up the finished desk!
Shoe Storage Stool
Keep your home organized and clutter-free by creating a shoe storage stool or shelf. Depending on your skill level, this can be a simple task. However, if this is your first time creating something, we encourage you to make a storage stool instead of a shelf. This way, you won’t mess up your walls when trying to flush the connector into the wall.
Create shoe storage for the front door, back door, closet, or any other room in the house! You won’t have to worry about tripping over your shoes again.
Wooden Bench
If you need additional indoor or outdoor seating, a great way to solve this issue is by creating a wooden bench. This is a lot easier than creating multiple wooden chairs and stools. This project can be constructed within a couple of hours when you use the proper-sized planks and understand how to use wooden connectors correctly.
Kid’s Bookshelf
If your children have a lot of arts and crafts, coloring books, and novels, keeping their room clean may be a hassle. Keep your child’s room neat and organized by adding a bookshelf to their room. You can even make this a collaborative project by allowing them to paint designs onto the wood! From a traditional-style bookshelf to an A-line bookshelf, there are so many easy ways to show off your woodworking skill.
Coffee Table
Is something missing from your living room or office area? You may need a place to store your cool conversation pieces or collector magazines. An easy woodworking project you can start this weekend is a coffee table. Taking on this DIY table could save you loads of money that you would have otherwise spent on buying one from a furniture shop or online store.
