Woodworking ideas: 3 Building projects to try

by Richard Bocchieri 04/03/2024

If you’re interested in DIY building projects for beginners, consider starting with woodwork. There are countless beginner-friendly woodworking crafts you can make with basic tools and inexpensive supplies. Here are some great ideas for woodworking projects to try:

Wooden bird house

A birdhouse is an excellent addition to any garden or outdoor space. You can create them out of many household objects and materials, but a wooden birdhouse is a simple and satisfying building project.

All you need are simple tools like a saw, drill, hammer and nails. You can use plywood, treated lumber, or naturally rot resistant wood depending on climate.

Create a box shape and cut an entrance hole on one side large enough for birds. Add a dowel rod as a perch, and you’ll have a perfect DIY birdhouse for your yard in a single weekend.

Wooden welcome mat

Craft a simple and stylish welcome mat for your front porch using wood planks. A wooden mat with diagonal slats is perfect for scraping mud and dirt from shoes and also allows excess moisture to drain through.

For this building project, you can use reclaimed wood or brand-new lumber cut to size. All you need for this project are simple tools like a miter box, hammer, nails and wood glue.

Reclaimed wood picture frame

Reclaimed wood is a wonderful material for building projects with a rustic charm. A great beginner woodworking idea is using reclaimed wood planks to craft picture frames. You can use wood from old pallets or any other type of scrap wood you prefer.

Cut to size, sand and stain with your choice of finish to display photos, artwork and more with unique home-made decor.

These are just a few examples of woodworking projects perfect for beginners. All can be customized to fit your specific needs and creative style. Keep these ideas in mind the next time you want to build your own wooden decor.

Welcome to Long Island Living at its best! The South Shore of Suffolk County is a suburban area that runs along the shoreline of the Atlantic Ocean. Homes in this area consist of primarily residential properties. This area tends to be diverse in culture and income as it varies by hamlet, village or town. Residents along the South Shore have access to many beaches, parks and recreational activities. I pride myself on my honesty, integrity, hard work and personal service. My first career was in education, starting as a teacher then finishing as a guidance counselor and achieving my Master’s and two PD's. In 1986, I began my real estate career. In a sense, I am still an educator and offering guidance; this time I am outside of the classroom educating my clients on the selling and purchasing processes; which have become so complicated recently and guiding them safely through the confusing and ever-changing real estate market. It is very satisfying to me to help people with not only the greatest financial asset in their lives but their greatest emotional asset; where they celebrate holidays, raise their families and live their lives. I take the needs of my clients very seriously and as a result, I am proud to say, over 90% of my sales are the result of referrals and recommendations. Primarily, my areas of service are the Townships of Babylon and Islip on Long Island’s beautiful South Shore, near pristine beaches and wonderful boating, yet only 55 minutes from Manhattan; truly the best of both worlds. I'm a graduate of the Real Estate Institute and am certified as a Senior Real Estate Specialist. I also hold a license as a Notary Public. Please feel free to call or visit so I can help you fulfill your real estate dreams.
