I want to build something out of wood. What Should I MAKE???

Question

Im not a thinker and btw im 13 so the biggest sw ima get my hands on will be manual. I just need some suggestions on what to make!

Answer 1

There are a couple of clasic hand tool projects.  They usually involve nice straight cuts, no fancy joinery.  They are:

BIRD HOUSE

BIRD FEEDER

SMALL BOOK CASE - or CD CASE

RECIPE BOX

ALBUM RACK - (very old school)

NAME PLATE for your door

NOTE / MESSAGE CENTER

Notice, all of these are projects on the box theme.  As a novice,,,reconsider going to a site with plans,,,as part of the plans is usually a step by step.  

Good luck,,
