Part 1: Foundations, Habits, and First Builds
Build confidence. Learn the habits that make woodworking work.
This book is designed for people who want to start woodworking the right way — by building real projects while learning the habits that experienced woodworkers rely on every day.
Part 1 of the Skill-Based Woodworking Series focuses on foundations: measuring from reference edges, cutting square, assembling parts in the correct order, and understanding why each step matters. Instead of shortcuts or production tricks, the emphasis is on calm, repeatable processes that lead to accurate, reliable results in a home workshop.
Inside, you’ll build a series of 8 small, practical projects designed to be completed in short sessions, each reinforcing core skills such as layout, glue-ups, drilling, sanding, and basic wall mounting. Instructions are written in a clear, workshop-realistic order, with guidance where beginners most often get stuck.
This book assumes no prior woodworking experience and requires only basic hand and power tools. It’s not about speed or perfection — it’s about learning how to think through a build so future projects feel manageable instead of intimidating.
If you’ve ever wanted to stop guessing and start building with confidence, this is where woodworking actually begins.
