Instructions

      Select a pattern. A good pattern will have the amount of lumber needed for the project and a list of tools and supplies needed. A pattern with actual-size drawings is the best for a beginner.

      Purchase tools needed to complete project. If you are buying for someone who already does some woodworking, you might check with a family member on tools already on hand.

    • 3

      Include a gift certificate for lumber from a favorite lumber store if this is a gift.

    • 4

      Add a few extras - carpenter's pencil, chalk line, T-square, sandpaper, level, compass, handsaw, wood glue, Phillips-head and flat-head screwdrivers.

      Include paints, brushes and wood sealer if needed to the complete project.
