Pre-work
Before you start your woodworking project, there are a lot of things you need to prepare. A room to work, body protections to ensure your safety, tools to help you finish the work, designs that you have in mind, all of them are necessary for a successful project.
Organizer
Want to find your tools more easily, and keep your working space clean and in order? To get some organizer would be very helpful. They are things that are not pricey, but to improve your woodworking experience.
Measuring & Marking
Why do people need to mark the measurements? Quite simply, to look at the project in big scope and break them down to every single piece. The more accurate the measurement is, the higher quality projects people would make.
Measuring
Measuring is so essential to create a good project. Without accurate and precise measuring, people could not create high-quality wooden things like wood fencing, custom wood cabinets, bedroom vanities, wood decks and pergolas, and anything made from wood.
Main Part & Module Machining
Main Part & Module Machining is prototyping and manufacturing process means working with sawing, turning, milling ,routers planing machines or tools to creates a desired shape by removing unwanted material from a larger piece of material. Since a part is built by taking away material, this process is also known as subtractive manufacturing.
Sawing
Sawing is a process to separate work parts into two or more pieces or to cut off an unwanted section of a part. These processes are often called cut-off operations and since many manufacturing projects require cut-off operations at some point in the production sequence, sawing is an important manufacturing process.
Assembly & Installation
Assembly and installation mean work down in fitting together by nailing, screwing, gluing, or fixing in any manner jointed, moulded, or finished parts of wooden furniture and may include trimming of edges and minor adjustments and includes assembling of chairs using a machine press or machine cramp only and the attaching of panel backs to such assembled chairs, and shall also include the fixing of hinges of pre-fitted rebated doors.

Drilling
Drilling is a cutting process that uses a drill bit to cut a hole of circular cross-section in solid materials. The drill bit is usually a rotary cutting tool, often multi-point. The bit is pressed against the work-piece and rotated at rates from hundreds to thousands of revolutions per minute.
Wood Sculpture & Detail Carving
After the two processes above, the basic prototype of the project may be completed. And now, we need to modify and process its details by reshaping wood sculptures. Wood sculpture can be an independent part of woodworking. You can use sculpture tools like sculpture knives to DIY some small woodworking projects. Also can use the tools to handle detail carving and reshaping. The reshaping process normally use routers and rotary tools to handle the detail of the project like the contour correction, slotted and cut surface patterns.

Surface Finish & Polish
Polishing is the process of creating a smooth and shiny surface by rubbing it or by applying a chemical treatment, leaving a clean surface with a significant specular reflection.
