  • Where is the best places to buy wood for woodworking projects? There are so many wood choices for woodworking. I buy lumber for my DIY furniture and other projects from a variety of places both local and online depending on the wood species. I like to buy from local lumber yards if possible but have also bought a lot of lumber from Home Depot and Lowes to build my woodworking projects. Buying construction grade lumber for woodworking projects can be challenging because it is very hard to find straight boards. I show you how to find wood for your projects. Also we will discuss where to buy hardwood for projects both locally and online. Here is all the basic info you need to get started buying lumber. You can buy wood online for your woodworking projects both large and small. Below are links to the places I recommend. In this video, I show you where to find hardwood for woodworking projects. I even bought a variety box of hardwood from Amazon and open it on this video. Amazon and other affiliate links are used in this description and they help support this channel.

    My little tip for buying lumber at Lowe's or Home Depot: buy the 16-ft lengths if you can. They come from the lower part of the tree that's more stable, and they sit on the shelves longer because not as many people use them, so they have a longer time to dry out and show any twist. Take your battery circ saw with you and cut them up in the parking lot to fit them in your vehicle if needed.
    I only buy 2x4s if doing actual construction projects. For woodworking type stuff, I just buy 2x10s and 2x12s and rip them down on the table saw.

We took a road trip where our longest stint together in the car was 14 hours (stopping to eat and pit stops of course) and we just loved the time together. When we tell others that, they are usually like, "We would've been at each others throats if we were in the car that long together." God is good all the time. Especially when you keep Him first.

    Pro tip at HD: On warped wood, ask for a discount and negotiate it. My local mgr knows if it isn't at least 15%, its not going to happen. Now I have the space to wet and clamp and straighten, or just mill that 4/4 down. It doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to come with a discount.

I go deep into the desert and chainsaw my own, rip down to usable pieces, but no Amish 'round these parts pard.

    Last year my buddy and I went to a cabinet shop outside of town and checked out the pallets of scraps and let me tell you, they had a lot of pallets of hardwood scraps. Prices ranged from $50 to $300. We bought one for $150 at $75 each and holy crow just half of that was a lot of wood. I'm still using it today. I will probably see if he wants to go in on another pallet soon. We got a great variety of wood like oak, maple, poplar, some walnut although not much of that and some type I think is alder but not too sure. Mostly panels of various sizes, some large some small. Any rate if you have a cabinet shop nearby check them out.
    Another great video Matt. Thanks.

At the start of Spring break, when we went virtual at school, wife got a booth in Russellville and had me make shelves, benches, and other simple things since she thought I was bored. It is a small booth, so only have a few things at a time. My skill has gotten better. Been watching your videos for tips. Done a few custom shelves, bit finally got an order for a farmhouse table! Spent an hour at Lowes looking for lumber... There are good pieces, you just have to go through the entire stack.

    Here's you a cool tip a lot of people don't know. If you go to Bartons, and you see any damage what so ever in the lumber, they sell it to you 1/2 price. So say you see a 1x6 with the end chipped, go up front tell them, and it's yours 1/2 price.

    Here is my best guess for your wood just from the couple seconds I could see them, in the order you pulled them out. Number 1,3,4,5 and 7 all look like cherry or red oak. 2 and 6 are definitely poplar. 8 does look like maple. Don't know about the cut offs. The red one is definitely cedar. The darker brown one is walnut. Next to last look like cherry again. Last one may be ash or white oak. Hope this helps

      I ordered this box and got red oak, white oak, ash, poplar, a little walnut, a piece or two of maple and a very nice piece of purple heart. My thoughts are your box was very similar, and neither box had any cherry. It's easy to tell the white oak from the red as the white oak is noticeably more dense and thus heavier (also the color is a little different). White oak is prized for boat building since it's tough and resistant to the elements (and the reason the USS Constitution got its nickname, "Old Ironsides"). Anyway, there are good pieces in this box for mallets, small jewelry boxes or other small projects. I will buy it again.

    Virginia girl here, thank you for sharing. I have found that the big box stores wood lately with Covid has skyrocketed!! It's now $50 for a sheet of 4x8 basic plywood, not even the sanded stuff.It's crazy. I'm going to try the online sources you mentioned. I think you and the Mrs. are sweet! :-)

    YES! do a mallet video!!!!!! Most videos assume you know a lot and leave out steps or use equipment the average garage shop doesn't have. You explain things better and use equipment most woodworkers have.

    I’m a beginner woodworker and I’ve been binge watching your videos. I really appreciate your tips and advice. I’m currently stationed in Texas and have access to a harbor freight. For someone who’s still in the process of buying all the “essential” tools would you recommend using harbor freight to save money or spend the little extra money on name brand?

      Ace does a military discount, but they do not always give me 10%. One time I received a 1¢ discount on a $50 purchase!
      I was polite and respectful. Her customer service was lacking before the discount.
      Home Depot and Lowe's are three times as far away as Ace, so I make the drive for better prices if I plan on spending more than about $5.

On the same token though I go to the auto salvage U pull it yard, and she goes with me, helps me remove parts, helps me carry tools and parts!! And she even helps me look for the parts I need to find!!
    How many women do you know that would DO THAT??????? And further my lady helps me at times when I am working on projects! She never "bugs me" with stupid questions and if I need her to hold a board or I am cleaning up, she will even help me work on stuff including working on our cars!!! She is DAMN FINE but sadly it took me nearly 40 years of my life to find her!!!

    For a project idea, I took your design idea of the TV bench cabinet video and I modified it to hold two 5 gallon water bottles. I was able to fit one inside the cabinet and the is one with the spigot on the top. It was a fun project because I was able to practice the techniques you showed but on a smaller scale item. I now have orders for 3 of them for friends. I will be doing the TV Bench also but I will move the back in about 3"-4" to allow for the wall plugs and still be able to have it against the wall. I am also going to be cutting a cable way access hole in the top behind the TV pedestal base to bring the power and coaxial cable to the TV.... Thanks for the inspiration 👊

    On multiple occasions, I purchased Christmas lights or some other cheap plug in gizmo and they were dead out of the box. Now I keep a small cheap 350-watt 120-volt inverter in my car and test some items in the parking lot before leaving the store. So far its saved me two trips to return items.
