Chainsaw wood carving is something that has always interested me, but something I’ve never really tried to do.  I remember going to the county fair when I was younger, and there was always one guy carving things with a chainsaw.

If you are skilled, you can make some really cool looking things with very intricate details.  But obviously, you do need skill and practice so you don’t carve yourself with the chainsaw too!

If chainsaw wood carving is something then you are interested in, then you will probably want some help.  It would be best to get some hands-on training with a more experienced person that has done this.

But if that is not an option, there are books and videos that will give you a good idea of what to do (and how to do it safely).  You could just go experimenting with a chainsaw and some scrap logs, but you might want to find out more details first, such as:

• What kind of chainsaw is the best to use for carving?
• What other kinds of tools do you need?
• What type of wood is best?
• Wood finishing and other details

If you want some information about chainsaw wood carving, I’d recommend doing a quick search online and getting a cheap guide or video to walk you through some important lessons.

Every once in a while I like to try large complex projects, but small woodworking projects can be lots of fun too.

For one thing, you don’t have to worry about them as much.  For large projects you need to spend money on wood, and you will most likely need a large selection of tools to do everything.

But with many small projects, you don’t need much wood and you could probably just use some of the scraps sitting around in your workshop.

There are lots of small projects where you don’t need to use many tools, and even basic hand tools you keep in your garage are sufficient.  These small projects are a great way to get your family involved and it is fun building something with your kids.

For example, the puzzle cube pictured above is a fun project that is not too difficult.  Children will like playing with it, and adults are stumped trying to get the cube out of the box (but you can’t!).  There are lots of toys and puzzles you can make with your children.

If you have a lathe, then there are even more possibilities for you.  It is fairly cheap and easy to make bowls and pens if you have the right equipment.  These are quick easy projects, and lots of fun too.  Carving is another good option for small projects.

Here are a few ideas for projects:

- Household items (like a CD holder), birdhouses or feeders for outside, small toys and games for the kids, clocks, or small cases or containers (like a jewelry box).

There are hundreds of different projects you can make, but those are some good ideas if you can’t think of anything to build.  You could also check online and find lots more ideas for little projects that won’t cost much or take much time.

You can also go to this woodworking website to find lots of different woodworking projects and plans.  There are thousands of projects on the site, and there are many different small projects.

Good luck, and have fun!
