When it comes to woodworking you may think that you need a lot of tools. While it is true that complicated projects may take some more specialized tools than the common hobbyist might have, some basic tools may be all you need for regular woodworking maintenance and projects.
Many woodworking projects can be completed with a quality saw and/or a drill, and if you have a stable workbench it will make everything go much easier. When dealing with planks of wood you will want to make sure you can keep them in one place, so woodworking clamps will also come in handy.
Some common types of woodworking projects include:
- Building shelves
- Building a table for gardening or other outdoor activities
- Creating boxes for craft or jewelry storage
- Putting together a crate or other type of box to keep toys in
- Building a dock for your phone with a hole for the charging cable to go through
