15 Creative DIY Wood Projects

Create Your Own Furniture

Save money and build your furniture

Furniture can be expensive, which is why a cost-effective solution is to build your own. You can even mimic your favorite companies.

Measure twice, cut once

Double-check your measurements to make sure you have the right ones when cutting materials so that you don't have to do it again.

Sand any wood you use

When using wood, make sure to sand each piece before assembling.

Don't take shortcuts

If something is written in the instructions, it's there for a reason. Don’t try to skip a step to get done faster.

Practice makes perfect

The first chair you make may not turn out so well, but don’t let that deter you from trying again and honing your skills.
