How to use online software for all your wood projects?

There’s something incredibly empowering about creating your own wood projects from scratch. But many think you need to be a skilled carpenter to design and build your own wood projects. Thanks to the 3DByMe online solution, however, it couldn’t be easier!

Woodworking ideas for all levels

Whether you’re a novice, intermediate woodworker or an expert, turning your ideas into 3D designs is simple with the inspiration of 3DByMe’s woodworking ideas.
You can choose from hundreds of designs to replicate, or create your own custom-made DIY wood projects.

In the past you’d have had to draw plans on paper, which can be extremely time-consuming and difficult to get accurate. Creating woodworking plans virtually is easy, as you can adjust shelf heights and furniture sizes, take accurate measurements, and quickly envisage any design changes with minimum hassle.

Whether you want to build a simple coffee table or a candle holder, or you have more ambitious plans to construct a complete kitchen cabinet remodel, design built-in closets or a pergola for your deck or patio, the 3D solution will show you how to make the most of your woodworking skills.

Once you’ve created your design, you can view it in virtual reality to ensure it fits in your home. You can conveniently shop online through the tool or buy the materials yourself. Detailed step-by-step instructions for all your woodworking projects are also provided and we’ll even tell you the best manual and power tools to use for the job.


What are the easiest wood craft ideas?

For projects for beginners, it’s a good idea to start with an easy woodworking project. Why not try your hand at a picture frame, floating shelves, or planter box for the yard? Wooden storage boxes are another simple design that can give any room a stylish touch. Take a look at how expensive wooden crates are at trendy DIY stores – you can save a ton of money when you create and build your own designs.

You’ll find plenty of inspirational ideas on the HomeByMe community projects page, where you can also post pictures of your work of art once it’s complete. Or if you’re already brimming with inspiration, you can also design your own wood craft ideas from scratch.

As you build confidence and make more items, you’ll progress from making super simple pieces to more complicated projects. You could step up from making a bird feeder, wine rack or cookbook stand to installing a complete wall of built-in cabinets or making an Adirondack chair for the garden in no time.

Wood projects are a great way to make unique gifts for friends and family. There’s nothing more special than something that’s been hand-crafted by someone you love. From a serving tray to bookends or cutting boards, you’ll find plenty of ideas for how to use your woodworking skills to create wonderful gifts with the solution.
The 3DByMe solution allows you to view all your projects in 3D, and you can even place them in virtual images of the spaces in your home. If the wooden TV wall stand you’ve designed doesn’t work on one wall just click, drag, and drop it to another!

What’s the best wood for DIY projects?

Choosing the right wood for DIY projects is essential so the design fits with the style of your home, whether it’s rustic, contemporary, or industrial.
Designing in virtual reality with the 3DByMe solution means you can switch up woods until you find one you like.
You might choose:

  • pallets for planters, a bed, or an outdoor sofa (a pallet Christmas tree is also a fun, festive idea and so easy to build)
  • sheets of plywood (a good material to work with as it’s easy to cut and drill) for all kinds of furniture that can be veneered to create oak, birch, cherry, or other wood effects
  • pine that can be stained
  • shiplap to enhance walls and ceilings.

Wood stain is available in hundreds of different colors, so if you want to stain pine or similar wood you can preview the look within the solution before you buy the product.

How to get free woodworking plans?

Every woodworking project needs a plan to make sure measurements are accurate and the wood is cut to size.
Design free project plans with the 3DByMe solution and follow the easy instructions to create your own beautiful designs in wood.

Using woodworking plans also means you’ll save money as we’ll tell you exactly what to buy and where to buy it, from the wood to the screws and hardware. You can easily establish a budget for your project this way and won’t waste time searching for where to buy your materials.

Woodworking has really never been easier with the free 3DByMe DIY solution. An exciting world of opportunities has been opened up where custom wood projects are no longer reserved for those with expert knowledge, but for anyone who wants to improve their home!
