Just one woodworking tip that helps you save time is great.

What if you could have ongoing tips of all kinds?

That is what we purpose here, a sharing from us and you for the benefit of us all. We will share our tips and ask that you share yours as well.

Any and all will be welcomed, safety, time saving, applications, cost cutting, ETC.

Wonderful Woodcraft is big on Safety, so we will start with Safety Tips.

Number one and our favorite is always wear your safety glasses whenever you are doing woodcraft of any kind.

Safety glasses can and will prevent almost all flying objects of wood or other material from directly hitting the eyes, preventing what could otherwise be serious damage or even the lost of an eye.

Number two, never reach across any moving saw blade.

Always allow blades to come to a complete stop before reaching across or over them to remove any material.

Just one misjudgment in distance could result in very serious cuts. Always remember, Better Safe than Sorry.

Next, This one may sound like a given, but I have actually seen this done before. Never drill into anything while holding it in your lap.

I know who would do something as dumb as this, but I really have seen this happen before, luckily without incident but it could have been awful if he had slipped in any direction, and I do mean awful.

How about moving off safety and getting a couple other wood working tips shared here. The first one is one that has saved me time in sanding and lost wood more than once. I do not remember how I got this one but I am thankful for it.

When cutting with the grain on thin pieces of wood you can get splintering and rough edges even with a new blade, to prevent this, use a piece of masking tape over the area to be cut.

Yes it will help prevent those rough edges and splintering most of the time.

Next, always keep your tools in good working order, and always test them prior to using them on that good wood.

This is a time saver in the long run as it ensures that you do not lose good wood from damage by a tool not in proper working order.
