Creative Beginner Woodworking Projects for the Serial DIYer

Whether you are an experienced DIYer when it comes to woodworking projects or just starting out. This collection covers them all. One of our biggest woodworking projects is probably our shed project where we decided to build a shed from scratch. The project was quite a chore but we got it finished and love the results. I would not consider building a shed to be a beginner woodworking project, but many of the following are fantastic beginner and easy woodworking projects.

We designed and built this simple gift box that features a book matched top. You can build this project using just one 3/4′ x 3-1/2′ x 24″ piece of stock.
