Men have been
building things with their hands for centuries with stone, animal bones and of
course wood being some of the first materials to be used. If you’ve ever built
something with your hands you’ll know that feeling of accomplishment you get
after finishing a woodworking project. I personally got my first taste of
woodworking thanks to my dad who is a skilled craftsman and engineer. Although
my woodshop skills aren’t the greatest I want to share with you a few cool
woodworking projects I found online to motivate both skilled and beginner
craftsman to start a new project or two. Read more about the history of woodworking on Wikipedia.
What most people don’t
realize is the creative freedom one has when building something. All you need
is a few materials, some cool, easy and simple woodworking plans and you can be
off to building a chair, cupboard, bed, coffee table, furniture for your kids
or whatever you like. I usually built furniture for my home and it’s not only
cool and fun to work on these projects but I also save a lot of money on furniture
costs while doing so.
Cool Woodworking projects
I must confess that
these pictures are not my own, I found them on various social networks but they
are still great and a must share! If you need a little motivation and some cool
woodshop project ideas to get you going, these are sure to help.
Sandpit / Outdoor
table combination:
Who would have ever
thought of building a sandpit table that can also be used by grownups? The design
is simple, but yet very effective and can be built with relative cheap material.
Once your kid grows up you can remove the sand and convert it into a storage
area for cushions or other outdoor stuff.
Oil drum bar table:
I just love it when
people repurpose “old junk”, add a few materials and turn it into a cool piece
that simply can’t be found anywhere else. Take a look at this table. What kind
of old materials do you have lying around at your house that you can turn into
a woodworking piece of art?
Unique Wine Rack
Every man needs to
build a wine rack. It’s probably one the first projects that you are taught in
woodworking class. However this one has its own unique twist to it. Simple,
easy but yet very cool…
Wooden washing bin on
wheels
This one is probably one of my
favorites out of all four images and I can definitely see myself taking on a
cool little project similar to this one in the near future. The beauty of it is
that this washing bin is basically just a box on wheels but it looks awesome
and can be very usefull.

There
are a lot of free plans available on the internet, some are good, some are bad
and some are missing critical details that need to finish the project. And
unless you’re already a woodworking master detailed instructions might be just
