Woodworking Projects on the Farm I have a small mini farm in which there are many woodworking projects from building a barn to adding an extension.
Which then extends to an extension of the extension.
These small little goat houses have been created using insulated walls to keep the goats warm in the winter time and cool in the summer time.
With these simple little houses I do not need any special plans.
Having a Plan However there are times that I need to have some kind of plan in place where I can build a barn or a milk barn.
I have to search on the internet for a good plan to build a milk shed or a grain storage unit.
Or to have a storage shed for my tools and farm / yard equipment.
Problems with No Building Plan I have built a number of woodworking projects and have found without having a plan in place first.
I sometimes will mess up my wood project.
Even when I have a project, there are times that I will change my project idea while in the process of building the original goal.
Now this can lead to some mistakes a long the way and sometimes I just have to scratch the whole project which then turns my woodworking activity into an outdoors wood burning project.
Well Designed Plan Best thing to do is to have a good well designed project.
Having in place all the tools I'll need for that project and then sticking to the plan.
Using the right tools for the project makes it easier and less room for errors.
Having a Square and tape measure, a spirit level, screws, nails, hammer, and other power tools as need for my project makes building fun to do and easier.
Having some kind of blueprint that I can review as I am building can really help me achieve the woodworking project.
Having a step by step guild that shows me how to build parts of my project and then how to fit these parts together.
After I have built all the parts of a given project and have been able to fit the parts together.
I feel a bit of pride in my work and love to show off the work I have done to improve the farm.
Once I have finished one these projects, there is always the next project that comes along.
