If you have ever tried woodworking and begun to enjoy it, you will find that this hobby can be quite addictive.
The fact is, when you are working on a woodwork project, you are hands on and basically doing it yourself,
you are in your own world of creation and expression.
That feeling is quite philosophical to describe and explain. Multitudes have glued to this hobby because of
that sensation and emotion.
Do-it-yourself woodworking is all about creating some item out of wood with your own hands and the
appropriate tools.

2. If you are just starting out, don't dream about building your own house yet.
I think it's a bit too early or over-ambitious to think that you are going to build your own house next week
while you are still struggling to differentiate between a butt joint and lap joint.
Start with something simple if you are a newbie.
There are many simple household or lawn furniture you can practice your woodworking before
you think about more elaborate or harder projects.
Perhaps, start with a bench, lawn chair or table, which is relatively easy and straightforward for a beginner.
Once you have decided the item you want to build, you need a plan or blueprint that lays out the details of
the item.

3. We are talking about the dimension, the materials, and the instructions on how to go about building your
project.
For a beginner, you may be wondering where to begin even when you have a simple project plan in your
hand.
Therefore, it is probably wise for a beginner to look for plans that have detailed instructions.
The best would be a plan with clear step-by-step instructions telling you how to build your item from scratch
to finish.
It is also imperative to get a plan with accurate or correct measurements. If the measurements are wrong,
your whole project could flop and you could be really frustrated. How do you know the measurements are
right?

4. To check whether the measurements in a plan is correct, you just have to look for mirrored parts, such as left
and right arm rest, or legs of a table.
These mirrored parts should have the same length or height, otherwise the chair or table will be really weird,
even if you manage to complete the project.
The fun of DIY is you are in complete control of the project, from the beginning to the end. You are the boss.
In fact, once you become more experienced you may want to modify certain parts of the project, that is, if
you know what you are doing. In reality, that is what many veteran woodworkers do.
The plan becomes a guide only. Their skill level allows them to improvise things to their own taste or liking.
So, make sure you have fun when you take on a project.
