Begin your adventure with wood.
Wood is one of the most beautiful raw materials on the planet. Although we typically purchase new timber for the majority of our woodworking projects, we
are certainly not limited to using new lumber as our base material.
Tree branches, stumps, beach finds, old railway sleepers, old pallets, off-cuts, scraps and abandoned old furniture are all examples of wood base materials
that can be used for a woodworking project. Aside from an abundance of base materials, the majority of woodworking tools are reasonably priced and
accessible to most people, which I feel has contributed to an increase in the number of people who have taken up and love woodworking.
Wooden Candle Holders
I think every woodworker has a pile of leftover scrap wood from other projects, it’s fairly common to have a couple of bins to throw all the small wood pieces
into. There’s always that small wood projects that pops up every now and then and having a good selection of leftover wood is very handy
Wooden candle holders look great on a dining table and if you or members of your family love candles, then this might be a good project to try out.
Candle holders are pretty easy to make and basically just involves cutting up the desired size candle block pieces, drilling or boring out the desired size holes
for the candles, give them a nice sand, stain or coat according to taste.

Wooden Raised Planter Boxes
If you don't have a lawn to decorate, it might be difficult to make your home or place of business look pleasant. Planter boxes have been a terrific solution to
this problem since they allow you to grow intensively in a smaller space in a reasonable manner.
Planter boxes have the added benefit of being easy to maintain. They're a popular choice for people who have problems bending over, digging, or completing
other standard gardening duties due to limited mobility.
One of the most significant advantages of raised beds is the protection they provide from foot traffic, particularly from children working in the garden. The
soil does not become compacted and plants are less likely to be injured because people work on the paths rather than walking in well-designed raised beds.
Raised beds warm up faster and drain better in the spring (as long as you've got the soil prepared correctly), providing for a longer growth season and better
growing conditions. A well prepared raised bed helps plant roots to breathe, which is especially important in the colder regions of our states.
Compaction is essentially non-existent once the soil in a raised bed has settled, thus seasonal tilling is not required. In a well-maintained and mulched raised
bed, weed populations decline with time. A raised bed can allow crops to grow in areas that would otherwise be unsuitable for gardening. Raised beds can be
used as terracing on steep slopes. On parking lots and other compacted, difficult-to-garden urban soils, raised beds can be erected. Raised beds can be
altered to suit various crops that flourish in specific soils. Raised beds, at the proper height, can improve access for wheelchairs, or for gardeners who have a
hard time bending over.
The bottoms of wooden planter boxes can be fragile and deteriorate quickly, necessitating repair on a regular basis. There are, however, things you can do to
help protect them from decomposing and thereby lengthen their lives. The first thing to look for is enough drainage at the bottom of your planter box. If it
doesn't, you'll need to drill a few holes to allow enough liquid drainage. Second, select a light-weight potting mix with adequate drainage. If you're not sure
what kind of potting mix to use, your local hardware shop or gardening centre can help.
Garden soil is not recommended since it is far too heavy and will compact, limiting appropriate drainage. Allow at least 2 inches of space for air circulation by
placing your planter box on top of some bricks or pieces of wood. Similarly, avoid crowding your planter boxes together or against fences or walls, as this will
hinder adequate air circulation.

7. Weatherproofing your Wooden Planter Box
Wood is a great choice for planter boxes and it actually offers several benefits. For example, wood helps shield roots from rapidly fluctuating temperature
changes, a problem sometimes experienced with plastic or metal planters. Due to natural appearance, wood planter boxes blend in better with plants. If you
can’t afford Cedar, Redwood or Oak and need to use softwood (don’t use treated wood for planter boxes due to all the nasty chemicals used), the untreated
softwood planter boxes will decay when constantly exposed water and the sun.
The bottoms of wooden planter boxes are the most delicate and prone to rot, necessitating continuous repair. Aside from sealing the entire planter box, there
are a few things you can do to keep them from degrading and hence extend their life. The first thing to look for is enough drainage at the base of the planter
box. If not, you'll need to drill a few holes to allow for enough liquid drainage before sealing it.
Rough up the entire surface with extremely coarse sandpaper (60-80 grit), giving it a good hard rub; you want the surface to feel rough to the touch, as this
will produce little pockets and crinkles for your waterproofing agent to adhere to.
Seal every seam and edge with a Wet Area UV, mould & weather resistant caulk/sealant that doesn’t shrink or crack. Wait for the sealant to completely dry
before proceeding with the waterproofing. Complete sealant drying takes 2 or 3 days average when the box is stored in a cool, dry location away from
sources of moisture and heat.
If you want to stain the wood first then that’s fine, do that and then wait a day or so until it’s completely dry.
Apply an initial thin coat of a marine grade polyurethane varnish to waterproof the wood while also protecting it from the sun's UV rays. Use a paintbrush
dipped in the varnish and then apply it with slow, even strokes and coat all surfaces of the planter box (be careful of the fumes)
Wait 12 to 24 hours or whatever is the recommended recoat time, then, reapply the varnish.
Good quality varnishes should only require a couple of layers for full waterproofing and UV protection, but some cheaper ones might require several coatings.

DIY Pergola - A little over 8 mins and has had over 4.5 Million
views since it was published.
DIY Pergola PDF Guide - On top of a very useful video, Mitre 10 NZ also provide you with
the option to download this plan.
Why are Pergola's so popular?
A pergola expands your accessible living spaces into your backyard, and once you have one, you will soon discover that you are spending more time outside.
Pergolas didn't become so popular overnight; we enjoy any opportunity to improve our backyards, and if you have a flat spot in your backyard that looks a
bit too basic, a pergola is the perfect thing to add, and a pergola can suit almost any size space with a little innovation. In my opinion, the ideal aesthetic is to
build a Pergola out of rustic hefty wooden timbers, although I understand that everyone's tastes are different.
A Pergola is typically constructed with an open lattice top, but you can customise it to provide as much shade as you require. You can opt for a retractable
sunshade or even a completely covered roof, but I like catching a ray of sunshine through a partially shaded roof. In my opinion, a well-designed Pergola
provides just the right amount of shading that makes even a hot afternoon comfortable.
Red Cedar Garden Pergola - I love this Pergola
design from www.fithroom.com. They also have
a Red Cedar Contoured Picnic Table with Backed
Benches that I can see would look perfect under
this Pergola.

9. Replacing wooden Fascia Boards
Fascia boards are 2x8 or 2x6 long wooden boards that run horizontally on the edge of the roof, typically behind the gutters on a home. Fascia's are one of the
most typical sites for rot on a house; they are of particular importance as they link to the roof truss and offer a mount for the gutters. They are especially
susceptible to water intrusion because they are located directly beneath the roofline. In a lot of situations, once the fascia boards are damp, they will begin to
rot quickly. A degraded fascia might end up being the source of additional roof issues, therefore it's critical to replace them once they are deteriorated.
Fascia boards can be made from a variety of woods, including Spruce, Pine, Fir, Cedar, Cypress, or Redwoods. However, given the risk of rot and if your budget
allows it, you might be better off going with Cedar, Cypress, or Redwoods, as their properties are much better for use as a Fascia Board and better resist
moisture, even if you don't paint them. Fascia's can also be manufactured from composite wood products, which are more resistant to water and moisture
than solid wood.
Wooden fascia boards should generally be painted with an external acrylic coating that is long-lasting, self-priming, and mildew resistant; you want
something that will last a little longer than standard exterior paint. Although non-wood products such as various types of plastic and PVC can be used to
make fascia boards, they perform admirably, but this is a woodworking website, therefore I'm mostly concerned with wood and wood products.
Roof leaks, gutter clogs, and a problematic roof design are just a few of the ways your fascia boards can be damaged. If your fascia boards get wet too often,
mould, fungus, and algae can grow and damage them. Fascia's can also crack as a result of repeated temperature changes and ageing. Even nail sized holes
in your fascia should be sealed up.
If the afflicted region spans two rafters and can be safely re-secured, you may be able to repair a part of your fascia rather than replacing the entire board by
cutting away the affected area. If the board has two points of contact with the rafters, it should be able to support your gutters as well. A fascia board that
shows signs of ageing, such as bowing and cracking, should be completely replaced, even if portion of it appears to be salvageable, as it may fail shortly.
Replacing fascia boards is a difficult chore for the ordinary homeowner; you're working at a height that could result in significant injury if you fall. As a result,
I recommend that you leave your extension and step ladders in the shed and either hire or buy a safe method of access to the required height.

Wooden Clocks
Wooden Clocks are fairly simple to manufacture, especially now that various clock kits (complete with numerals, movement motors, and clock hands) are
available for purchase. You'll also need a base piece of wood, batteries, and a keyhole hanger in addition to the clock kit.
The only limit is your imagination; you might go from a very basic and raw design to a stunningly decorative and complex one.
