Here's 50 great beginner woodworking projects that will get you comfortable with the basics of building with wood. Some of the projects below can be completed in a weekend and others in just a few hours, either way all the projects will help you create something great out of wood.

Out final project of the year for Science was to make a presentation on a moon or a planet in our solar system. I choose Triton. Before this project I knew absolutely nothing about Triton. Then I found this site. This site has the basic information that you would need to know to learn a little bit about Triton. This site was very helpful to me because it was just the information I needed to start off this project.

This site offers a large variety of woodworking recipes for a very low cost. It gives me ideas and designs to work on with no design required prior. It gives me the ability to go into the shop whenever I want and work on a project. This source is definitely a helpful one due to its low cost and bountiful. It sells complete recipes with cost ranging from $1 to $50, a fair price for allowing to skip the day long planning period of projects. Compared to other sources this one rates fairly average and does not necessarily wow me. I would recommend this to anyone looking to do woodworking, but doesn't like sketching models and plans. In conclusion I will use this source to get cheap plans for small work projects and slow days. It didn't really effect my learning but it certainly gave me a good amount of resources.

Patreon is a way for people like the students in pathways to earn money while working on the things they love. While very similar to Kickstarter, Patreon allows users to donate on a regular basis to small projects like a webcomic or a youtube series instead of one massive project.

This website helped me gain inspiration for the mandala that I created for my second project.

Slideshare is an amazing repository of both excellent and poor PowerPoint presentations. If you need some inspiration to create engaging slides, this is a great starting point. In addition you may use this site as a resource for information on your project

Prezi is a presentation tool that helps you organize and share your ideas

This is a website where you can create a presentation. It is a very useful and efficient way to share your ideas and/or projects. It is also a great way to be innovative and original with a presentation to make it aesthetically pleasing.

This website has to be the most useful if not second most useful website I used in my project. It tells you the skills needed to become a pharmacist and it also tells you everything you want to know about it! Even their little side projects and it even gives you writing prompts. I would recommend this website to anyone who has even the slightest thought that they may want to become a pharmacist.

Pinterest is a visual discovery tool that people use to collect ideas for their different hobbies and projects. People post collections on "boards" of visual bookmarks (Pins). These collections are used to do things like plan trips and projects, organize events or save articles and recipes. This particular board is full of American and European woodblock prints made between the years of 1880-1935. There is a subfocus of trees and landscape.

I used this website recently when working on a climate change project for Italy. Most of my time spent researching was at this site because it is very organized and has so much information. There are twenty subtopics that range from what is climate change to the impacts of climate change in Italy. The purpose of this website, even though it is called Climate Change in Italy is to speak to people throughout the world and inform them on the consequences of too much CO2. This site was very useful for me because there was a lot of information in each of the categories. The only drawback with this website is that it goes really in-depth, so if you want to know a specific thing about Italy Climate Change then you may want to choose a new source. The information is definitely reliable seeing as I have compared it to other sources and I would recommend this site to people who want to know about climate change in Italy or Europe in general. I used this source for a project and it was very useful, so I would suggest people who want to use it as well to use it specifically for research. This website helped me look at climate change on a smaller scale: Italy (it really zoned in on the specific climates in Italy).

Piktochart is a media form (sort of like prezi) that lets you choose a template and make your own informational graphic, which can include pictures, your own text, and features like graphs, interactive maps, and youtube videos. This source gives you a lot of options, but it is hard to take advantage of them all your first time around, and the site could definitely be more intuitive and user-friendly. However, I would recommend it to fellow students anyway, since it is a relatively easy way to create a class project that looks much more polished and professional than a powerpoint. Using this source was a risk for me, since I am not very tech-savvy, and I was afraid I would not know how to use it. However, after a bit of exploration I now feel pretty confident using piktochart, and it has bettered my learning by making me more comfortable with technology and giving me another option for school projects.

This is a great informational site that I have used to find information for projects particularly in Human Development. It has a lot of information on almost any medical issue that you could think of. It is written by certified doctors so you can be sure that the information is accurate. It is a wonderful, easy to use site, with a lot of good information.
