Introduction: Four Popular Woodworking Projects
This instructable will present four simple woodworking projects to start with. a birdhouse, dresser , garage shelves, bookshelves
Step 1: Building a Birdhouse Summary
There are many different styles of birdhouses available for construction. It all depends upon what you’re looking for, and which birdhouse designs would complement your garden the best. For people who want to get started on woodworking as a hobby, birdhouses are excellent introductions. Birdhouses are among the most popular of woodworking ideas, given the character they can give to a garden.
To a certain extent, people can design birdhouses according to the desired species of birds. The hole in the birdhouse should be big enough for the birds to enter, but not large enough for any other type of animal. The roof of the birdhouse, the base, and the four walls will usually all consist of separate pieces that are then fitted together after being properly measured as a unit. Roofs of birdhouses often consist of two boards measured and then glued together, and then fitted on the top of the structure.

Step 2: How to Create Garage Shelves Summary
Constructing simple shelves is relatively straightforward. It depends upon the needs of the homeowner. Some people want complete wall storage for their tools, while others want standing shelves. Most basic sets of garage shelves will only require some supports positioned onto the walls, where the shelves can rest.
Garage shelves are particularly practical woodworking ideas, and their functionality will probably by the top priority for most people. For other types of shelves, their specific capacity will probably not be as important, since shelves can range from decorative to useful but not essential. Builders should examine what sorts of needs they have for space in their garages in order to plan for the size of their garage shelves. Having multiple shelves may work better for some people than simply having deeper shelves, and the overall size of the garage should be taken into account

Step 3: How to Creat Bookshelves Summary
Some people build bookcases, while other people build bookshelves. Bookshelves are easier to build, since the labor mainly consists of measuring and cutting the wood to the dimensions that you want, and then positioning them on the supports mounted on the wall. Some people prefer to construct open bookshelves, in which case they need to make and measure frames for the shelves to rest upon, and then cut and measure a symmetrical set of shelves. Adding some finish or paint to the shelves, depending on the décor of the room, is also common.
Bookcases require a base and a symmetrical top, boards forming the back and sides, and the shelves themselves. The depth of the shelves and the depth of the frame parts are all optional measurements, but measuring them to make sure they fit together properly should be a priority. The bookcase would look uneven otherwise. Bookcases can be built nearly to the height of the ceiling, or they can be shorter and lower, with the top of the bookcase being used as an additional piece of furniture.

Step 4: How to Create Dresser Summary
Dressers vary in their designs, but they usually consist of outside frames with interior drawers. The primary pieces necessary will include legs, a base, a top, interior frame parts, and the drawers themselves. The drawers will also need handles, which are sometimes purchased separately or purchased as part of a woodworking ideas construction set.
Dressers can vary in the exact number of drawers they have. Some dressers have three drawers, one after the other, while others will have six narrower drawers side by side. Tall and narrow dressers can accommodate more drawers. Planning ahead for the dresser design based on the number of drawers you want can save you some effort down the line in your woodworking.
