Ok, I want to start making wood projects, and I am just a beginner with a little experience. What are some things to build to make me a better carpenter? I want to build a boat in a few years, so experience would help.
Thanks.

The most superior blueprints I found when I started woodworking was with vox wood plans, google it. And I'm still using now that I'm not a beginner.

If you are planning to start on your woodworking project, this isn't something you should use, it's something that you would be insane not to. Go here https://tr.im/ManualOfWoodworking
Truth is, I've been a carpenter for almost 36 years, and I haven't found anything like this for less than 10's of thousands of dollars.

If you are a beginner or have done some woodworking you will find these plans easy-to-follow as the instructions are very clearly written https://tr.im/WoodworkingTechniques
The woodworking plans are straightforward so they are not complicated at all. Even if you are a total newcomer to woodworking you will simply be able to master all the techniques that are needed and the woodworking skills very quickly by following the concise and clear instructions.
Another thing which is so great about these woodworking plans is that there have been some videos included and there are some to guide you in how to build benches home furniture dog houses bird feeders sheds and much much more.

Find a book in the library with a pattern for a workbench and build yourself a nice bench. You'll need one anyway if your are going to start woodworking as a serious hobby. Be sure to put shelves underneath to store tools (measure your tools first so that you get them the right size) and add things like drawers and a vise. By the time you are done you will have an bench and better skills. Have fun too.
