They say the best way to get through writer’s block is to just start writing. I have heard from so many people who want to learn to use tools and try woodworking, but have yet to take that first step.
This one is for you. Seriously, pick up that hammer. Or jigsaw. Whatever you have – go get it, because there is something here for you.
I have rounded up 25 projects from some of my favorite building bloggers. I’ll include a note about what tools you’ll need for each so you can easily select projects that fit with what you have. Go ahead, give it a try. And I would just be thrilled if you shared a photo of what you build so we can brag it up a bit!

Hi Sarah,
All of these 25 beginner woodworking projects will entice people who love to engage themselves in a DIY woodworking project. I also love t DIY projects. Among these 25 projects, I would like to build a desk organizer from a single board. This project I believe is the simplest.
