The common projects for woodworking , is one of the first questions( but not the only one ), the woodworker has , during his first steps .

Why did you start this so astonishing and “magic” hobby , the woodworking ?

Why do you get in “trouble” struggling to shape the wood piece you found in nature or elsewhere ?

Why in order to get some sleep at the end of a very difficult day , you dream yourself in your wood working warehouse touching , smelling , cutting , shaping , waxing , creating your ideal woodworking projects ?

Wood gives inner peace no matter how many “wounds”- troubles , you have .

Everybody creates wooden projects and the continuous use of them day in day out , keeps your heart warm and gives you motivation , till your next creation .

Here are some common projects for woodworking :

1) Wooden sticks for your walks in nature and in the forests . Prefere a “hard” wooden piece , because you want strength . Try your wooden stick to be as lighter as possible .

2) Wooden parts for your woodworking tools . Sometimes you need to replace or fix a broken wood tool by yourself . Choose a “hard” wooden piece and be very careful to rub it very good .

You don’t want hand wounds from this tiny wooden “nails” , which are entering the skin and the pain is so strong .

3) Any kind of wooden seats and chairs . You can create them from any wood you like and with every size you want . The easiest seat is to cut a log in the size you want and place it in the ground .

For your chairs you can use any connection you want , any type of wood you want and any connection tools you want . Screws , nails , bolts will help you the most .

4) Any kind and shape of wooden table you want . You can make a table from a simple wooden board and 4 legs and you can create whatever else you like .

5) A woodworking bench . We need a working bench to work with our wood with the greatest convenience we can and you should try to make one by your own .

You need stability for your wood activities and during time you’ll evolute your bench , making it better and better .

6) Any kitchen equipment , you can make them from wood . Plates , forks , spoons , water glasses , beer mugs , fruit bowls , bread cases , mirrors , spice cases , sugar – coffee – flower – rise – pasta – legumes – cases .

7) Wooden desks . You can use whatever type of wood you like and whatever wood “water” shapes will satisfy your eyesight . “Cheap” or not wood , your day in office won’t be the same again , working on your own creation .

8. Wooden beds . “Countless” shapes , “countless” wood types , “countless” designs . Choose whatever youlike , but be careful . Avoid totally the use of chemicals and use natural oils for your finishing . Remember you’ll sleep here .

9. Wooden shelves . Any size , any wood type , any shape is acceptable .

10. Wooden swings for your outdoor . Prefer the “hard” woods and try to create a “heavy” construction . Use stainless still , inox or materials that don’t rust easily for your connections . Remember your safety comes first .

11. Wooden ladders . The same approach with the swings . ” Hard” wood , heavy construction and seal it with the shou shugi ban technic for the weather conditions . Always check its stability during time and before use .

12. Wooden bicycles , for you , your kids or your grandkids . You’ve never seen a wooden bicycle ? It’s very nice and impressive .

13. Wooden library . This is a more complex wood construction , but the beautiness of a wooden library , worths every drop of your sweat . Choose your favorite wood and try it .

14. Wooden cases of any kind for your daily activities . PC”s cases , Laptop cases , smartphone cases , shoes cases , tablet ones , key cases , important paper cases , vintage wooden memory cases , photos cases , tools cases , book cases , clothes cases and the list is going .

Of course the imagination of the woodworker cannot be measured and the projects you can make are “countless” . Whatever you want to create using wood , is a woodworking project and you should be very proud for it .

Don’t put limits to your woodworking imagination and you can expand the above list , with whatever gives you happiness . Yes , ok the above woodworking projects are the most common , from the majority of the carpenters , but use them as “lighthouses” to do more .

In the woodworking “planet” , there is no limitation to your creativity .
