Easy Wood Projects
Almost every woodworking project - be it a chair, a shelf, a table, or even a bigger project like an entire garden shed can be either part of more easy wood projects, or many different features to a certain piece of wooden furniture can be added, like e.g. drawers to a table, or a straightforward design can be turned into a highly sophisticated design. In other words, the project itself does not necessarily determine how easy or difficult a wood project has to be.
For example, let's look at a TV stand. A TV stand can be part of a complete entertainment center, or it can be a fairly straight forward design that does what the name indicates provide a stand for a TV. Often, the easier design is not only easier to complete, it also sometimes has other advantages in the example of our TV stand, it is for instance the very compact footprint ideal for putting it into a smaller bedroom, for example.

So how do you go about an easy wood project? Well, let's stick with our example of the wooden TV stand, and see. In its very basic design, you want to start with two side panels; as suitable dimensions, we recommend each plank to be 38" long and approximately 10" wide to accommodate smaller TVs. Keeping it simple, a " thick soft-wood, e.g. pinewood will make it easy to cut the parts, while still giving enough support needed for a TV stand. As for the shelves, a pretty basic design would contain two or three shelves. All shelves can be of plywood, with the top shelve requiring probably 1" for most of the TVs to give appropriate support. Shelf two and/or three can be of " plywood. After you cut out both the sides on the shelves, you should inspect them and carefully sand with fine sandpaper to give it a smooth finish. Also, make sure any sharp edges are neatly sanded off.
Now that the basic components of the shelf are done, it is time to put it all together. Suing a router, start cutting the grooves into the side panels; here is where you then apply carpenter glue and allow the plywood shelves to slide into the grooves of the side panels. Be careful as to the size of the router you use; the thickness of the grooves is being determined by the thickness of the shelves-plywood; it has to be the same size.
Also, this very basic design here has the same depth of shelves for the second and third shelves; if you want to add a little bit more of a design, you need to cut the grooves more deep on e.g. the middle shelve, or, in turn, cut the shelves so that they have different depth.

Applying fairly standard woodworking / carpentry glue and clamping the parts together, let dry at least eight hours, or over night; if you decide roughly for the dimensions given above, you should be fine with gluing the parts, as long as you used a router for the grooves; in other words, for most TVs you do not need to drill the parts together. After the parts are dry, once again inspect your TV stand and sand off any sharp edges and any excess glue.
