A scroll-saw shadow box is a great way for artwork and photos to be displayed. A shadow box of small size can give a sense of wonder. An easy scene can be created using seven layers each of 1/4" Baltic Birch plywood. The finished piece measures approximately four inches in square and 1.75in thick.

Where can I begin with woodworking
Building furniture is the best way to learn how furniture is made. While you will need tools and make mistakes, you will eventually master the art of building furniture.
First, choose a project you would like to complete. You can make a simple box or a large entertainment center. Once you've settled on a project find a local skilled woodworker. Ask the local woodworker for help in deciding what tools and where to get them. It's possible to ask your friend if they do this type of work.

How To
Here are some tips on how to drive nails in wood
It is essential to pick the right size and style of hammer before you can drive a nail in wood. Claw hammers include mallets, claw hammers (sledgehammers), mallets, ball-peen hammers, hatchets, and mallets. Each type of tool has its advantages and drawbacks. A clawhammer works best when hitting something hard like nails. However, it can sometimes be difficult to see exactly where the strike is going. The sledgehammer works well for large areas, but is too heavy for smaller tasks.
Once you have chosen the right hammer for you, put your hand flat against its side so that it rests comfortably in the palm of your hand. Grip the handle firmly, but don't squeeze it so tightly that you hurt yourself. The hammer should be held straight up with your wrist relaxed. Now, move the hammer towards the center of the nail by swinging it back. You should feel the impact of the hammer striking the nail. Try swinging a hammer using a block wood to practice until you are comfortable.
Hold the hammer near your body until you're ready for the nail to be driven. You will need to position the nail so it is parallel to the wood. Keep your focus on the tip of each nail. Swing the hammer forward, and then move the hammerhead. Continue this motion several times, slowly increasing the speed of each swing. Once you've mastered the technique, try adding power to your swings. Then, raise the hammer from your shoulder to bring it down. You will be able to use more energy and put your best foot forward.
Once you have successfully drilled the first hole in the nail, remove the hammer. To pull out the remaining nails, use a screwdriver or pry bar. You should ensure that the nails are flush with the board's surface to avoid splitting the wood.
