Hey Reader, I used to think plywood was plywood. Grab whatever's cheapest at the store, make some quick cuts with my cheap saw and dull blade, and get building. Then I'm dumbfounded as to why my project looks like it's about to fall apart! That thinking cost me hundreds of dollars and ruined more projects than I care to admit. Turns out, there are 5 specific mistakes that make plywood projects look homemade by an amauture instead of handcrafted by a professional woodworker. And once you know what they are, they're incredibly easy to avoid. The big ones that got me: → Buying the wrong grade (wasted so much money here) But here's what really frustrated me - nobody talks about this stuff.

When you’re using a random orbital sander, move it about one inch per second. That feels painfully slow, but it’s what the tool needs to actually do its job. On your next...
Videos | Plans | Tools Hey Reader, We’ve all been there. You start spreading glue, the clock starts ticking, and suddenly you realize a tenon is too long or you forgot to sand an inside corner. Now you’re rushing to fix it before the glue sets and the stress levels are through the roof! My #1 rule to avoid that is to always, and I mean ALWAYS, do a dry fit first! I never put glue on a joint until the entire project is assembled with clamps just as it will be when I do apply the glue. It lets...
Hey Reader, There’s nothing more frustrating than getting to the end of a project, trying to glue up a box or a drawer, and realizing the corners just won't seat right. Usually, we blame our technique or the wood. But sometimes, the tool actually is the problem.
