When you can cut wood to the right length and fasten it together with nails, you’re a handyman, but there are more tools than just a hammer and saw. You will need something to hold the wood in place while you work on it. Sometimes you will need to make a curved cut or put a hole through the wood.
A good way to learn how to use tools is to watch someone using them. When you need to make something with wood, ask your parent or another adult to show you how to use the tools safely.
