You can use a circular saw to do everything from cutting plywood panels to cross cutting 2x4s. I recommend cutting on top of a piece of styrofoam, so your wood is fully supported as you cut.
Miter Saw - The Miter Saw is essentially a circular saw built into a track system to assist you in making precise straight, angled or beveled cuts quickly and easily. Why do you need it? Because it's quicker, faster, easier and more precise than a circular saw. The down side is you can't cut wood bigger than the miter saw deck usually about 12" so you still need that circular saw for cutting plywood panels.
To start out, you can attach wood with just screws and a drill. But as you want to make better projects with more precise joints, we recommend a few systems for fastening.
Drill - The drill used to create a variety of joints, with the most basic a simple screw. If fastening a project with screws, I recommend self tapping screws with a star bit. Of course, if your second board is thicker, you can use a longer screw. This is just the minimum recommendation.
Brad Nailer - So why a Brad Nailer? For three reasons - 1. Brad nails are easier to hide because the nail hole is tiny. Brad nails are much quicker and easier for non-structural joints 3. Brad nails are much less expensive than screws or pocket hole screws.
Why use and expensive fastener when a quick, cheaper fastener will do the job? I recommend an 18 gauge brad nailer, but not to be used for structural joints - use it for things like attaching the back on a bookshelf, building a picture frame, adding trim to a console table.
Kreg Jig - A Kreg Jig is a tool that works with your drill that can help you attach boards together with the screw hole hidden. It makes structural joints easier to attach and more precise. You can use it to attach boards together edge to edge think tabletops.
If you want to build better projects, the Kreg Jig is a must. As you get going on projects, you'll see that you can use different types of joinery for different applications. Here's the three main joinery that we use on our simple plans. Not as strong as screws and may pull out over time. Longer nails tend to stray. Can be difficult to hold some joints together while attaching.
Do not use to attach 2x boards to anything. Fast and strong, works well when attaching 2x material together. Best for outdoor projects or workshop projects. Expensive, hard to hide. May split wood or require predrilling. Can be difficult to hold joint together while attaching. Difficult to attach into end grain of 1x board without splitting. Easy, precise and fast. Hidden screw joint but still same strength as screws.
Not attaching into end grain. Easy to hold boards while making joint. Can attach boards edge to edge and into thick table legs. Pocket hole screws are more expensive than nails and take an extra predrilling step.
Sometimes not ideal when joining small pieces of wood or angled cuts. Building the carcass or structure of a project for example, the 1x12 board shelf boards to 1x12 sides of a bookshelf. I build with a mixture of these three different types of joints, always considering the cost of the fastener, the strength required for the joint, how to hide the fastener with respect to the finish, and common sense.
As you build, you'll develop a sense for when you should use what tool to build with. This set of tools and knowledge should be enough to get you building most any project needed for your home.
Tape Measure - You'll use the tape measure to mark cuts, and also to layout the build. I prefer a smaller tape 16' is all you'll need for building projects but you may want to invest in a longer one if it is your only tape measure in your home. Speed Square - Speed squares are super handy. If you are cutting with a jigsaw or circular saw, you can use the speed square to draw a line perpendicular to the board edge with it.
You can also clamp the speed square to the wood and use it as a guide, running your saw along side it as you cut. When building, the speed square can be used to attach boards square to each other. Clamps - You'll need at least two clamps to secure boards to the tabletop when cutting and building. Make sure the clamps are big enough to clamp to your project and your workbench - 6" seems to be a good size for a standard workbench top.
Safety Glasses and Hearing Protection - You'll do a better job and building will be alot more fun if you are being safe. Wear eye and ear protection, and be safe - power tools can be dangerous if used incorrectly, and injury is not worth it. I use a random orbital sander to sand my projects. At your home improvement store, ask for the "whitewood" boards, sometimes called common pine.
I recommend starting with this type of wood because it is very inexpensive and easy to cut and drill or nail into. As you progress, you can get pickier about your wood, but right now it's about easy, inexpensive and minimal tools. It can be a little confusing when picking out wood because the name of the wood size does not equal the actual wood size for off the shelf, planed lumber.
Always double check your lumber sizes, but here is a table of the expected sizes for wood used on this website:. One thing we must discuss about using real wood especially soft wood is shrinkage. Wood does shrink especially soft wood , it is a natural material. It is not plastic.
If you buy kiln dried wood, and live in a dry climate or the project is indoors, just bring your wood into the room it will reside in, and let it acclimate for a day or two. Then get building. On a project like the ten dollar ledges, you won't have to worry about wood shrinkage so much. As you tackle bigger projects, it becomes more of a factor, and then you start thinking about using plywood because it is more stable.
We don't recommend plywood for a first project because it requires ripping down in width to use, but eventually you'll want to start using it. It's generally cheaper than 1x boards, you can get wider widths for example, 16" wide and it behaves better no shrinking, cupping, twisting, warping etc.
You will need to have your hardware store rip cut with the grain, or the long way the plywood down into strips the desired width. While you probably wouldn't do this to make smaller boards, this comes in very handy when you need a board wider than a 1x12 for example 16" deep shelving.
Having a dedicated workbench will change everything about building. It's like cooking without a kitchen. You need a spot to build, to store your tools. Here's my recommendation for an easy, efficient workbench that is a good size for most projects. Photo and build credit: TheresaLynn. Always take the time to find nice straight boards. Look down the board like it is an arrow on a bow to determine if the board is straight or not.
When cutting, remember that the saw blade removes material from the wood the sawdust. This is called the saw blade kerf. You'll need to consider how you mark your boards, and on what side of the line you cut your boards to get accurate cuts. When using a brad nailer, keep your hands well clear.
Nails can shoot out to the side, especially if they hit a knot. Always cut the factory end of a board before you start making your final cuts, as there is not guarantee the factory end is square.
Wood glue is essential when using nails or staples. But be careful to not overdue it, as wood will not take stain the same if it has glue on it. Clamp everything, any time you are in doubt. If you are nervous about cutting, clamp it. If you are hesitant when nailing, clamp it. When cutting, only secure one side of the board and allow the other side to float free to avoid pinching your saw blade and bucking your saw.
Never cut a small piece that requires your hand to be too close to the saw blade. Instead, cut the small piece from a larger piece. Check your project for square by find an area on your project that should be a rectangle. Measure from opposite diagonals to get two different diagonal measurements. If the project is square, the diagonals will match. If not square, push longer diagonal ends together and recheck both diagonals until square.
Power tools are powerful. If a saw blade binds, it will kick the saw back. If a drill catches, the torque of the drill may cause it to twist on you. A tablesaw bind can cause the board to push back with force. Power tools can injure you beyond the blade or bit.
Use common sense - if it doesn't feel safe, it probably isn't. Don't do it - it's not worth the risk. Pick a project that is inexpensive, and doesn't require a ton of tools, cuts, or steps. Avoid for now, anything with plywood, pocket holes, drawers, doors; basically anything big or with moving parts. We have tons of starter projects , but might I recommend this one - The Ten Dollar Ledges - it's versatile and will get you started with something useful.
After you get done with your first project, try tackling a few more smaller projects. Keep the projects small, no angles, no doors, no drawers, all 1x material at this point. There will be plenty of time to work up to bigger, more complicated projects, and you can make pretty amazing stuff with beginner tools and skills.
Here's a few examples-. Once you've mastered the basic skills, feel confident using power tools, it's time to move on to a few bigger projects and a couple more tools.
Hi Ana. I've been following your beautiful plans for years. I realized I never signed up so here I am. I have become better at wood projects as I build but I have a hard time understanding the angles cuts like "30 off square short point to short point" Parallel o not parallel? I tried looking in your web site for videos and a;so in other web sites with no luck.
Do you have any advise on videos about that or can you make a video about angle cuts? Thank you and happy New Year. I love your creativity. Yes I could not find the right place for a comment to thank Ana white for her website. I built the Farmhouse bed. We are going to build the Nightstands now to Show it off. Would like a plan for a Dresser 6 or 9 drawers.
When I figure out how to post to the right location I will brag and show my End products. I am new to DIY and love it. Thanks again Ana. Hello, We have quite a few dresser plans. For now the best search option is google. I would recommend a google image search for "Ana White dreser" and "Ana White drawers".
Some kind of a formula how to adjust the measurements? In reply to Hello, by KathaKon. I'm wondering if I can mix wood species in a build? I want to do one of the farm house tables. Is this a no no or can it be done? Hi, another "Ana-White" Fan, Personally, There are basically 2 types of woods - soft and hard, So as long as they are all hard or soft. Like pine is soft but oak is hard.
Another website with helpful info like that would be popularwoodworking. They have articles on projects like that I think. As I have said in my bio, I have a rare disorder that affects mobility. I get around fine now, but I have to be very mindful of what I do.
I am not incapable. I am obsessed with building my own tiny home I can't use most plans I find because they rely on loft space for bedrooms or for storage. I could use it for storage if it isn't stuff I need often - but I can't rely on climing any sort of ladder or stairs long term.
I have to have an accessible tiny home. So it will have to be longer or wider or some arrangement that gives me what I need. I can't just have a 24ft one I don't know As an artist I'd like to add an out building that would be a studio space any way. A lot of storage is required for the art materials In my head, right or wrong, workable or not, I have had this vision of three little buildings, that together still don't add up to the sort of excessive space most of us live in now.
I see it as then having a deck connecting them as well. So during the summer I can use that area as an external living area but in the winter I wouldn't have to go far to get to the other spaces.
I'm wondering if I should modify one plan to just be bigger wider or longer or both or if doing three smaller plans is the right way to go. I am almost certain that we don't have the same restrictions on home size here that the US has I'd like it to stay put but maybe be "possible" to move it? I tell people that the number one rule for carpentry is you can screw things down but try not to screw things up!
I'm looking for a place to ask you or your crew a question and this is what I found. I'm building the 2 x 4 Outdoor Couch. Where do you get the cushions? Thanks, Steve. Is this a necessity or will I be alright without it.
I haven't used my Kreg yet, but will be soon and want to be prepared before I get into the project and figure out I need something else or that it would've made things easier. In reply to Kreg Jig Guide by jlharrison. Dear Ms JLHarrison, there is a good introduction video to using the R3 on the Kreg website here and their printed guide for the R3 is here.
I also liked the setup video on youtube here that helps get you going. Good luck with your projects. We are making the Fancy X Farm House table for my daughter-in-law house but can not find the instructions on how to attach the table top.
I'm assuming it would be from the bottom so that it doesn't show thru the top - but where would we put the screws? Husband, who has more experience than I is also asking. BTW - love your site. Anybody know where I can find plans for a corner style double oven cabinet? Remodeling my kitchen and building everything from scratch and have found plans for nearly everything right here, but can't seem to find oven cabinet plans at all much less one for a corner.
I've even started searching for just tall corner cabinet plans that I could modify but I'm not having any luck going that route either. I am so in love with this bed! I have been looking for someone to build it for me and have been unsuccessful. In each application, the groove captures the thinner piece in place without glue because the thin, solid-wood panel can expand and contract with changes in humidity. Typically the piece that does not show the joinery is used as the drawer front.
The groove for the panel is allowed to run through the end of the stile, simplifying the work. The haunch on the tenon fills the groove. High-Volume Low-Pressure adj — a type of sprayer system generally used for finishing in which a large volume or material is sprayed under low air pressure abbrev.
It usually occurs when wood gets caught between the rip fence and the blade. Splitters — and a dose of common sense — can prevent these. The corner lap also called an end lap is better than a reinforced dowels or splines butt joint, but weaker than mortise-and-tenon joinery.
It can be at the corner called an end lap , in the middle of one piece called a Tlap or in the middle of two pieces called an X-lap. Still offering a tight corner, the lock miter provides greater gluing surface, strength and easier alignment.
It adds strength and easy alignment for squaring the box. Medium Density Fiberboard n — An engineered panel product usually abbreviated as MDF consisting of wood fibers that are glued under heat and pressure. First manufactured in by the founder of the Masonite Corp. The less common High Density Fiberboard weighs between 50 and 80 pounds per cubic foot. MDF has no grain structure and no voids. Most variants are susceptible to water damage. In some species, such as oak, the medullary rays can be quite large.
When the tree is quartersawn, the rays become visible on the face of the board. The miter joint can be tricky to cut perfectly and align during glue-up. When used in a long-grain-to-long-grain application, the strength of the joint is very good, while a short-grain-to-short-grain application offers very little strength. They are available in a variety of diameters and with a number of tips for certain jobs. They are essential tools for any fine work being done with a hammer.
While modern pneumatic nail guns automatically set the nail below the surface of the wood, a nail set is still handy because occasionally the nail gun fails. The bits of wood used in particleboard are larger than the fine fiber in MDF, making the panel less consistent. Like MDF, particleboard is vulnerable to moisture. The hole will ensure the fastener is driven in the desired direction and clears some waste wood to prevent your work from splitting when the fastener is driven in place.
A jig creates a pocket hole with a special step bit that leaves a pilot hole as well as a shoulder for stopping the pocket screw at a pre-determined depth.
This decreases the chance of splitting the wood. It adds extra gluing surface and protects against racking. The force comes from one direction and is typically parallel to the sides of a case piece. The overlapping edges hide any seasonal wood movement. In drawers, the sliding dovetail typically will join the drawer sides to the drawer front and leaves space for installing drawer slides.
In a case piece, the sliding dovetail joins shelves to the case sides. Speed Square proper n — A small triangular-shaped layout tool that combines aspects of try, miter and framing squares.
The tool has a lip on one side to allow it to hook on your work. Typically used in home construction, but is also common among woodworkers. The spline requires milling another piece of wood, instead of just buying biscuits, but it helps align the pieces along the entire edge.
Because the dado is stopped and the shelf notched, the joinery remains hidden when assembled. Typically used to join shelves to the sides of a case piece, this joint is ideal for cabinets without face frames. It offers great strength and visible joinery on both faces of the corner.
It typically appears in case construction to join the top, bottom and sides. It also is commonly found at the back of drawer boxes, joining the drawer sides with the back. This is easier to make, but it leaves the joinery visible.
It is typically used to join shelves to the sides of a carcase, especially when the cabinet will be fitted with a face frame that will conceal the joinery. It is a simple way to not have to worry about gauging the accurate depth of the mortise, because the tenon is cut flush after assembly. This joint allows the boards to move with changes in humidity, but still keeps the surfaces evenly aligned.
As a secondary advantage, the wedged tenon is a nice decorative element. Here are some supplies and tools we find essential in our everyday work around the shop.
