TOOLS AND HARDWARE

This is not a comprehensive list. Just some guidelines, and a list of the major tools, bits, and hardware that we used. Obviously we don't know what you have, but even with a much more modest workshop, it's highly likely that you can still find a way to complete this project. Skill and patience will always take you further than another tool.

TOOLS

• Jointer (if using non pre-dimensioned lumber)

If you’re building the chair to the exact size we built in the videos, you would need:

8/4 hardwood for the front legs

6/4 hardwood for the rear legs

5/4 hardwood for the seat, seat frame, and seat back

¾” thick plywood if building a cushion seat

* Roughly 10-12BF of hardwood (for more information, see the Chapter 1 & 2 preview above)

Yes, for the advanced version.
No, for the simple version.

In chapter 3 we cover how to make these templates in detail. We’ve also included PDF & SVG files of all necessary templates or you can also opt to purchase Physical MDF templates from us, which we will ship to you.

Short answer: No.

Long answer: Unfortunately we do not sell templates separate from the class. One of the reasons is because we sell them basically at cost. Most people who sell templates sell them for a profit. Ours aren’t an upsell, but rather something that the course user can pay for if they want to skip the step of producing the templates.

The short answer is...they're not!

Ok, here's a better answer.

You're probably looking at this course for 1 of two reasons.

1. You're already a pretty good woodworker, and you want to build this specific piece because you like it, or...

2. You're looking to learn and improve through the scope of building this piece.

If you fall into that first group. Let's be honest...these plans could cost $5, $25, $90, or even $200, and at any of those prices it's going to make up for a small percentage of the actual cost by the time you factor in your materials, tools, and most importantly your time.

Our plans cover everything, to make sure that you do things right, the first time. No waste, no frustration...just results.

At the end of the day. You might be able to find a cheaper dresser plan. But you won't find a better one. And saving $40 to end up with a worse dresser, that you'll live with for the rest of your life, doesn't seem worth it. At least to me.
