    Default Making your own furnuture

    As a pet project of mine, I'm going to make a cupboard. Unfortunatly, I have very little experience with woodworking.
    Does anybody have some good tips?

    PS I might as well share my progress as well once I start.

    I picked up carpentry as a hobby a few years back, although it did not last long...just a few months. I made a little shoe-rack which is still standing, but that's about it.
    What I can suggest is that you need make sure that you get good wood/plywood depending on how you want to go.

    What all tools do you plan on using?


    The horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.

    The usual: table saw, sander, electric drill, milling cutter, ... nothing to fancy.

    I do have some experience with carpentry but not with building furnuture.
    If I have time tonight I'll post my plan for the cupboard.

    Stick with shoes.

    I made a primitive book shelf. And there are barely any books on it. Just research papers and notes in one big mess.
