The tools you'll need depend on your project, but some basics include saws (hand saw or power saw), sandpaper or a sander, chisels, hammer, measuring tape, and wood glue.

If your project requires assembly, use wood glue to join the pieces together. Use clamps to hold them in place until the glue dries.

Cut the wood to the appropriate size and shape according to your design. Sand the wood to smooth out any rough edges and surfaces.
