20 Magnificent DIY Wood Furniture Ideas

If you haven’t made your own furniture before, it can seem scary at first. Once you get the hang of using the equipment, it gets easier and easier each time you do it. Don’t be afraid of the process because you will love the piece you end up with. Take a look at these tips before getting started:

• It’s okay to start small. Don’t be afraid to pick a project that doesn’t require you to do a lot of strange cuts or directions. You can work your way up as you feel more comfortable.
• Always measure 2  or 3 times before cutting. You will hear many older carpenters say the phrase “measure twice, cut once” and it’s for good reason. They are speaking from experience because if you only measure one time, you can bet that it’s probably not going to be accurate. Double checking yourself is key.
• Your project doesn’t have to be perfect. It’s okay to have imperfections along the way. Especially, when you are learning and starting out. Even pros mess up from time to time and you need to embrace those mistakes and accept them. Don’t be too hard on yourself.
