Woodworking DIY/Battery Recondition

Birdhouses Birdhouses are among the easiest DIY wood working projects out there, as just about anyone is capable of creating and designing one.You will of course need to use wood which is about 1/8 inch thick, then build a simple cube structure. One could also put a crowned shaped roof for the top and even tack a tiny porch for the front if you're feeling artistic. Afterwards, paint the birdhouse in whatever color you desire. Some people actually like to paint their birdhouses with bright colors so that it will be easier for birds to spot. Make sure to use wood glue or a nail gun to secure all the pieces of wood into place. Create a hole through one wall of the birdhouse, because the size you make the hole can determine what types of birds will rest in your birdhouse. Make sure that the paint is completely dry as well as completely varnish the birdhouse before you display it for birds to rest in. - Clocks Clocks are also very easy and fast to make, as the entire proces...

I've got a simple trick to get evenly stained wood which you might find useful.  The process usually goes like this: You're careful with your measurements, make dead-on accurate cuts, properly attach and glue everything together, sand it as smooth as glass, and then ... you screw everything up on the finish. If you've ever built or refinished something made of wood, you've probably experienced this headache:  the end grain turns out much darker than the side grain. Even if you're not staining and only use an oil or clear finish, this sneaky little problem turns up in every project. Because of wood's unique structure, the end grain is a collection of the  xylum , or the tube-like structures that move liquid up and down the tree. Because the  xylum  are open on the end grain, it soaks up liquid much faster; good for the tree, but bad for woodworking projects. Fortunately, there's an extra step you can take to get much more even tones across the p...
