Frequently asked questions

What do I need to get started?

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.

Jointer 

Planer

Circular Saw or Track Saw

Router

Band Saw or Jig Saw

Why are your courses so expensive?

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.
