Woodworking

It ranges from simple DIY projects like shelves and picture frames to complex furniture, cabinetry, and decorative art. Common techniques include cutting, shaping, joining, sanding, and finishing, using both hand tools (like saws, chisels, and planes) and power tools (like drills, routers, and sanders). Wood types vary by use—softwoods like pine are easy to work with, while hardwoods like oak or walnut are valued for durability and appearance. Safety is crucial in woodworking; protective gear, proper ventilation, and careful tool handling help prevent injuries.
