Easy Woodworking Project to Make with Kids // Beginner Woodworking Projects
Since a lot of us are stuck at home with our kids now, I figured I would show you guys a few quick and simple woodworking projects you can make with your kids.
DISCLAIMER: Woodworking is VERY dangerous. I demonstrate things in this video, like using power tools, as the prep work that should be done for these projects. I am in NO WAY suggesting you should let your children use these tools. Be smart! Decide whether or not your child is capable of focusing and listening to instructions before you let them touch any sort of tool.
Be SMART! Be SAFE! Have FUN!
Huge thank you to Woodcraft for sponsoring what I do! A great way to get your kids involved in woodworking is to let them use hand tools. The spokeshave is one of the safest handtools to use and kids love using them!
You can find the best quality handtools at Woodcraft here! – http://bit.ly/Woodcraft3x3

I love that game/snack bag
MY KID WANTED TO MAKE SOMETHING AND THIS VIDEO REALLY HELPED ME
This is great! If you don’t mind I’m going to try and integrate this into my classes. So many kids are interested in woodworking and I’ve been trying to find things that both parents and kids can do together. Keep up the truly awesome work. 😁
You saved the day! My grandson is coming to visit and is asking to build something. Your ideas are perfect. Thank you so much.
Love your videos
Keep it up x
I love your ideas!!!❤
Very impressive
And new subscriber!
Wow amazing I love the ideas💡. I always want to have more ideas on doing some kids wood projects.. Thank you .. I would love for more ideas.
I came to find some child appropriate woodworking projects and you have some great ideas. And also my name is Tamar too! Nice to meet you.
thank you for the inspiration
Omg I thought it said the video went for 24 hours lol.
Your kids love to sand? Lucky you. Sanding is my least favorite part of woodworking, and I think my kids hate it even more than I do.
Fantastic way to give children a love for woodworking! And you know they will pass that along to your grandchildren!
All because of your creativity!
Te la rifas
Thx
Really great video, thank you. Now I have a lot to think about… XD
Fantastic!
Wonderful
Thanks for the cool video ! Watched with my 8 y/o son. We got some inspirations.
I’d say too much relying on machine tools and not enough on hand tool skills.
loved the iPhone speaker project; SO cool, and what a fun gift 🙂
I saw you using something in a video yesterday that you mentioned was in the description. So I followed the Amazon link and there wasa video on it of it in action (can’t remember what it was now) but there was a young woman using a bunch of power tools. Saws, sanders, planer etc and then in the background of this tiny shop there is a little girl no more than 2. Absolutely no ppe on the little girl but the mom was all proud of herself for wearing hearing and no eye protection herself. I’m actually surprised Amazon allowed that
Awesome video
Where did you get the toy bugle? I have looked everywhere for one that didn’t cost and arm and a leg.
Just found this today and absolutely love the ideas!
Great, useful, fun, gifts for others… love it!
Looking for cool projects from a variety of creators to feature in a playlist on our channel, and this definitely caught my eye. These are such awesome ideas!
👏👏👏👏
This is amazing!! Great stuff! New subscriber here!
Can you please name the bit you used to make the hole on circle?
What tool kit wood you recommend for Early teenage kids to start wood working with
I am doing for Christmas present lol.
I just found your channel and Subed, I will be guiding my middle school students through some of these projects. Thanks so much for the video!
You’re so precise in making that slanted dowel. I can’t do that perfectly that I need to rely on jigs, otherwise CNC, LOL. Would appreciate if you could visit my newly started channel. Thanks! 🙂
Very cool stuff I’m 51 years old and I’m excited to try these
Nice job Tamar! Love those lessons;) – and most of all that speaker!! Such an original idea!
the idea of a phone speaker that would be really interesting – taking your idea a little farther, is to try replicating a Antique RCA Hand Crank Victrola
Less hand motion ❤ ok – from my daughter
When I was a kid , when I tried making things, I had a small hand saw, coping saw, rasp, files, and such…You can make a lot with that, and all the cuts you did on the bandsaw could be done (just slower) with a hand saw. 🙂
The speaker projects were really cool, good job!
Very Cool. Just finished holiday presents from your recent video (will send you an Instagram Pix). My nephew is getting a piggy bank for his holiday present. Aloha … tom
These are fantastic ideas. Thank you for sharing. I’m definitely going to check out the rest of your channel!!
Wow wonderful ideas.. I will create also for my son some of your ides
What are the types of handsaw you use to cut the dowel please
I like these ideas! I’m 15 and have been wanting to get into woodworking so I’m looking for easy but fun ideas, what advice/tips would you have for someone wanting to start out?
Only if every women smile that big standing next to a band saw…… (sigh)
Have watched many of your videos in past and just found this one today, I was looking for projects to work with the Grandkids and believe that any of these projects will be great. Looking forward to trying them out.. Appreciate you sharing these ideas.
At 14 I was reaching my mum and dad how to use a bench plane mitre saw table saw jointer .. just turned 17 😊
Hey Tamar, do you have recommendations for the PPE equipment that works great for kids?
