Before I ever start any woodworking project plans I always go through a safety check list. This has saved my fingers more than once. That’s what keeps me doing it.

**Always clean all of your woodworking shop tools.

**Keep children and visitors clear of area while using any power tools as they may be distractions and cause you to lose control of task at hand.

For the novice woodworker, step by step guidance would be great and not to mention clear diagrams. You see, a diagram can show which part goes where, but if you’re not a professional, you will not know when you’re supposed to insert a particular part and could ultimately dismantle projects all too often. You must also have a detailed list of what you need, including a cut list, a list of tools for the job (remember that using the wrong tools can be dangerous, not to mention that this could be a waste of material), and other materials, such as screws or sandpaper.

**Wear a dust mask and keep the area well ventilated.

Maintaining your woodworking shop tools and keeping your shop clean will make for a more relaxing and enjoyable time with your hobby. We as humans are creatures of habit, getting into these basics shop habits will help to keep things organized and will also help your tools to last much longer.

**Be sure that the tool is in the off position before plugging it in.

Step 3. Now that you know how much floor space is available and the type of woodworking power tools you will be purchasing, you will need to create a simple floor plan to determine the size and location of your work benches and storage cabinets. These drawings can just be simple sketches which you can refer to while you build your garage woodworking shop. Since you are building a woodworking shop, you can always buy customizable woodworking plans and build your own cabinets.
