FAQ
What is the difference between a hobbyist or a professional woodworker, and how can you tell?
Hobbyists love making things from wood while professionals are more concerned with the quality of their work. Hobbyists are proud of their creations and will often share them with family members and friends. Professionals will spend hours researching designs and then begin to create a project. Professionals will be meticulous about all aspects of their work, from selecting the right materials to finishing it.
What furniture can I refinish?
Yes! There are many different ways to refinish older furniture without the need for professional help. Here are a few suggestions:
Use sandpaper on the surface to remove any stains or scratches. Then wipe down the surface with a clean cloth.
Clear polyurethane varnish should be applied. Before moving furniture, let dry completely.
Use acrylic paint to paint furniture.

Shellac wax can be applied. The wax will add shine to the wood and protect it.
How long does it take for furniture to be finished?
It depends on the type of wood you choose, the complexity of the design, and the amount of finishing you apply. For example, hardwoods require more maintenance than softwoods. Hardwoods tend to be more expensive that softwoods. But they last longer and resist moisture better. The average time it takes to finish furniture is one week to three weeks.
Statistics
- If your lumber isn't as dry as you would like when you purchase it (over 22% in Glen Huey's opinion…probably over 10-15% in my opinion), then it's a good idea to let it acclimate to your workshop for a couple of weeks. (woodandshop.com)
- Woodworkers on the lower end of that spectrum, the bottom 10% to be exact, make roughly $24,000 a year, while the top 10% makes $108,000. (zippia.com)
- Most woodworkers agree that lumber moisture needs to be under 10% for building furniture. (woodandshop.com)
- Overall employment of woodworkers is projected to grow 8 percent from 2020 to 2030, about as fast as the average for all occupations. (bls.gov)

How To
How to drive a nail through wood
It is essential to pick the right size and style of hammer before you can drive a nail in wood. The most popular types of hammers include claw hammers as well as mallets and ball peenhammers. Each type has its strengths and weaknesses. A claw hammer, for example, is the best choice if you need to hit nails hard. However, it's not easy to know exactly where the impact will land. Although a sledgehammer can be used to hit large areas quickly, it is too heavy to be useful for small tasks.
Once you have chosen the right hammer for you, put your hand flat against its side so that it rests comfortably in the palm of your hand. Grab the handle tightly, but do not squeeze too hard. Hold the hammer straight up, keeping your wrist relaxed. Now, move the hammer towards the center of the nail by swinging it back. You should feel the impact on the nail from the hammer. Try swinging a hammer using a block wood to practice until you are comfortable.
When you're ready to start driving the nail, hold the hammer in front of you close to your body. Position the nail, so it's perpendicular to the surface of the wood. Keep your focus on the tip of each nail. Swing the hammer forward, and then move the hammerhead. Keep doing this until you are comfortable with the swing. Try adding power to your swings when you've mastered the technique. Hold the hammer high above your shoulders and pull it down. You will be able to use more energy and put your best foot forward.
Once you have made the first hole, remove your hammer. Use a pry bar or screwdriver to pull out the rest of the nails. You should ensure that the nails are flush with the board's surface to avoid splitting the wood.
