Thanks in advance for any feedback.


Here is article:

Are you passionate about woodwork projects and want to create your own wooden masterpieces? If so you are going to discover my 3 favorite tips you must know before you start doing any woodwork projects.

I will show you three steps you can immediately use when you want to create something from wood. It doesn't matter if you are experienced woodworker or jest starting amateur you will benefit greatly from these tips.

Here are you three step system you can use for any woodwork project
Step First: Choose project adjusted to your skill

As you know. Not everybody is professional carpenter or have lots of experience in woodworking. I don't know how experienced you are but remember. Don't take on project that is too difficult and complicated for you or requires tools/skills you don't have. At beginning always choose simple and manageable project. This will help you earn experience and learn more so you would choose more advanced and complicated projects in the future.

Step Two: Start with something simple

I know maybe you want to do beautiful carport or pergola but before you create something that big and impressive, create something small. It may sound silly but birdhouses, shoe racks or bookcase are best to begin with.

You'll be surprised how many different types and variations come in terms of design and style in such a simple ideas. Remember even simple at first glance projects can be complicated and requires skills. Always think twice before you choose specific project so you won't be disappointed or discourage at the end.

Step three: Spontaneity < Planning

You need to plan if you want to successfully build whatever you like. Even professional woodworker always begin with plan. Doesn't matter if they're doing simple bookcase, picnic table or specifically designed pergola. Don't fall in same mistake that many rookies make. Always plan before you begin your project.

Good plan include information like: measurements (all pieces) blueprints, list of tools and materials. Main purpose of plan is to make your work easier (less time, struggle, money) and final result perfect.

That's it. As you can see creating woodwork projects is not complicated or hard to do. It's all bout being prepared and understand what you're doing.

    Hi

    This is for grammar, spelling, sentence structure only. Not content. (my changes are in bold):

    Step three: Spontaneity < Planning (don't understand this)

    You need to plan if you want to successfully build whatever you like. Even a professional woodworker always begins with a plan. It doesn't matter if they're doing a simple bookcase, picnic table or specially designed pergola. Don't make the same mistakes that many rookies make. Always plan before you begin your project.

    Those would be my changes. Also, this sentence "You'll be surprised how many different types and variations come in terms of design and style in such a simple ideas." is awkward. I don't have time to rewrite it now.

    Hope that helps.

    I noticed it took several hours to get this corrected. I don't think this forum is the best place to get your articles improved.
    However, I also work in different languages and you know what has been excellent for me? Yahoo Answers!
    For English, go to the Society & Culture --> Languages section and leave your text. For other languages, scroll to the bottom of the main page and click that country's flag. I leave text in the foreign equivalent of Y! Answers all the time and get super quick answers from people!
