The next item on your list for things to know is, what tools are you going to need. Don't run out and buy state of the art, or top of the line tools. These are not necessary. If you have been reading your magazines, then by now you should have a good idea what you are going to need. They no doubt gave you some good pointers on how to choose your tools. Every woodworking project will have some tool requirements, but most of these projects will usually comply to the regular wood working tools.
Before you even begin to think about starting a serious woodworking project, read any information that came with your tools. It is imperative that first and foremost you become familiar and adhere to all of the safety rules and guidelines. Some very serious accidents can take place with the types of tools you will be using.
Now you are ready to start your project. Be sure that you have purchased a pattern, and preferably a simple one. If you jump into something too complicated it could get costly, and you could become discouraged at it not turning out exactly as good as what it could be.
Woodworking projects require the same practice as anything else that you have become proficient in. You will gradually get better the more you do. Try and take some time to maybe take a few classes. Check out your local improvement stores and see if they offer seminars. Just make sure they are applicable to the type of woodworking that you are doing, and try to find the best available DIY Plans for you to use, these might cost, but its worth it after a very successful project.
If you follow these simple guidelines, and keep reading and researching, before you know it you will be able to class yourself as a experienced woods crafts-person.
