Don’t Measure Unless You Have To
When most people do any form of woodwork they will always measure using a tape measure, and then mark the wood which needs to be cut down. This works most of the time, but it’s very easy to accidentally mismeasure which can be very costly. Where possible simply hold the trim or wood up and mark where it needs to be cut. By marking the wood itself you reduce the chance of errors. There will however be times that you will need to measure, in this case make sure you measure twice to check you are right.
Remembering Measurements
When you do have to use your tape measure it can be very difficult to remember exactly what you measured. To avoid this being a problem stick some masking tape onto the front of your measuring tape. Then you can jot down the measurements in pen or pencil.
Removing Nails
Use a pair of sharp nippers to pull any nails out of woodwork by gripping the head firmly. This is better than a pair of pliers which could cause damage to the wood.
Use A Straight Claw Hammer
The most common type of hammer is the curved claw hammer, but this isn’t the best all round hammer for woodworking. A straight claw hammer is perfect for pulling nails, and can even be used to lift doors and partition walls. It can also be used as a very basic chisel if needed.
