There are basic concepts in woodworking that you just sort of pick up along your journey as a woodworker. Fundamentals that no one really talks about because they’re just so ingrained that they’ve become second nature. Well, today I’m sharing 15 woodworking basics that I think every woodworker should know.

  • Being a bit dyslexic, I measure thrice, cut twice and discard because I built the whole thing backwards.

Love the breakdown, love your organized shop, and love the no BS presentation. Thank you for taking the time to share. That was one heck of a kickback, hope that one never actually happens!

You do a great job of balancing being succinct with providing us with just the right amount of information. Plus, you explain in a way that most everyone can understand. Lastly, you use tools that most of us can afford 👍

Most videos like this I come across are too advanced and don’t explain the basics. There’s a couple tips in here that I haven’t seen in any video I’ve ever watched so great work.

It all worked out but it’s something new wood workers would never think of, I know I didn’t at the time. Thanks for the video.

  • Great video. I'm glad you put "Wood Moves" as #1. And I always appreciate your wise words on safety and PPE. Just as an interesting side note, larch (aka tamarack) is classified as a softwood but is used for end-grain cutting boards. But that's really getting into the weeds. Your point is 100% valid - don't use soft woods for cutting boards.

  • Great guide for beginners! Only thing that I’d add is when you’re “Measuring twice”, try to always use the same measuring device. Especially if you are trying to work in tight tolerances. I’ve seen tape measures that are off by a mm up to even 1/16”. All it takes is a measurement being just a little off (add maybe marking it slightly shy as well) and it can be frustrating. When I get a new tape measure in my shop, I always check it against others. Keep up the great content! Edited for spelling & grammar

I’ve been playin’ and pawin’ at woodworking for 3 years now, and after digesting these invaluable tips, I feel so much more adequately equipped to tackle complex projects and make those pricier, stress-inducing cuts with confidence (and accuracy, I hope). I come from a family of carpenters-all male-and as a female just kinda dippin’ my bits into the woodworking scene and learning as I go, I find it encouraging to come across an established woman professional who is articulate, knowledgeable, and highly skilled..but doesn’t take herself *too* seriously. 😅😅 So anyway-Thanks!

  • Some good tips here - thank you. One that struck me when you were talking about allowing for the kerf on the saw blade is to gently press a stationary saw blade into the wood and then measure to the correct edge of the indentation . I accept that you are marking the wood but more often than not it will not matter that much - certainly less than cutting too short.

  • Great collection of woodworking tips and knowledge! Just one suggestion on the measuring: I always try to minimize the amount of actual measuring. Because each step in the process may introduce an error. Instead, I try to copy dimensions on the workpiece as much a possible. It is surprising how little you actually need to measure with a tape measure once you shifted mindset!
