Frequently Asked Questions

  • Woodworking plans rely on text and pictures. While we’re proud of our project plans, these classes take learning to the next level. You get exclusive videos that show each step, with detailed explanations and techniques.

  • Skill level is subjective. Our courses assume that you know how to perform basic functions such as cutting boards on a table saw. All other steps on how to make the project are explained in the video.

  • When it comes to woodworking, there is always more than one way to do something. You will see certain tools used in a course, such as a table saw or band saw. That does not mean you have to use these. If you have an alternative tool that works best for you then that’s great!

  • The materials needed depends on how you want to customize your project. A list of the exact materials is provided during each step of the course.

  • Our goal is to teach you how to make the project so you walk away with something that makes you proud. If you have questions or are confused about certain aspects then contact us via email so we can help get you back on track!

  • Absolutely! You will see us use certain wood species or make parts to specific dimensions. Change any aspect that you want!

    Please know, if you choose to make your project a different size we cannot help you redesign it.

  • Nope! Once you purchase a course you can access the videos as many times as you want for as long as you want. This allows you to work at your own pace.

  • Unfortunately, no. Once you have access to watch the videos it is impossible to return the amazing knowledge you’ve gained! But we’re confident that you will love the lesson plan and can apply the skills learned to another project in the future.
