#2. Sofa Cupholder
This project requires you to take your woodworking skills up a notch, but it can still be completed in an hour or two. All you need to do is put three pieces of wood together. Once the wood has been properly glued or nailed together, you just cut a hole in the piece of wood that’s large enough for your favorite glass or coffee mug.

#3. Wall Planter with Address
It’s the small touches that turn a house into a home. That’s why we really love this simple little woodworking project. You essentially take three boards that have been cut to the same size and affix them together. You could also use a sheet of plywood if you prefer. Then you affix a planter box to the foundation you’ve created. Add your address numbers for an added touch. You can find the plans for this project via Shanty 2 Chic.
#4. Tablet Holder
Does your tablet journey with you throughout the house? Instead of relying on those synthetic tablet stands or holders that fray and give out over time, consider making one yourself with your new woodworking skills. It only takes one piece of wood, but the challenge here is that you need to saw out an opening to hold your tablet with great precision. This is where owning one of the best routers is going to help you complete this task.
Or if you feel like a big challenge, consider taking on this project.
