Wood is one of the most common construction materials and has been used for thousands of years. Woodworking allows you to create many pieces from a block of wood. It woodworking is something that appeals to you, review the advice in this piece to get started.

Keep the floors safe in your woodworking shop. Dust builds up on the floor, making it dangerous for walking. Coat the slippery areas of your shop with a mixture of crushed walnut shells and paint. The walnut shells are just the right consistency to keep the floor rough enough for walking, even when sawdust builds up.

Make sure your workbench is the proper height. It really can make a big difference. It needs to fit you and how you work. Usually if you are around 5'6" to 5'9" you probably need one that is between 33" and 36" high. If you are 5'10" or taller, you may need one that is between 35" and 37" high. Use your bench at its current height to determine if you need to change it to work better for you.
