You don’t need a ton of space to complete the projects. In fact, in my apartment, I built furniture on the rooftop of my building. A small backyard, basement or garage will do for all the projects in the program. And the workbench you get to build in the course takes up less space than a lawnmower.

In the first module, I list all the tools you’ll need to get started, as well as my recommended brands. You can get all the tools you need for the course, brand new, for less than $1000 total. I also share ways to scour garage sales and flea markets for used tools.

You’ll have lifetime access to the course, so you can work through it at your own pace, watching the projects now and then building them when it suits you – so there’s no need to buy all the lumber and materials within the six weeks.

There will be weekly material costs, but in total for all six projects, these shouldn’t come to more than a couple hundred dollars. In the course I also cover ways to save on materials, and even include a bonus module on how to make a bit of money on the side selling your creations.

The course is divided into an introductory section, the BMW and six main projects, video extras and the bonuses (extra plans, how to sell your projects, the Woodworker’ Glossary). For each project, there is a video and step-by-step guide for each day, plus in-depth breakdowns of each skill including close-up photos.

The 15 bonus plans are divided into three sections: shop projects, home furniture and gifts and toys. Each bonus project has PDF and SketchUp plans (with both U.S. and metric measurements).

You will get all the guidance to build each project in the course videos, as well as learning how to think like a Weekend Woodworker so you can go on to build anything. At the same time, you have the freedom to customize the projects as you go. I’ll give you tips of how you can make your projects Extra Fancy, as well as showing you various decorative techniques and different options for customizing each project.

Daniel customized his Sonoma Vineyard Coffee Table by extending the legs and changing the tabletop: “Well, well... Building the base was much fun. Again, done stuff I never did before, which is always cool.”

Robert customized the Harmony Garden Bench to fit in his entrance hall.

As the projects are released, you can follow along and build each weekend, or take as much time as you need.

This is a tough one, and one I don’t have to deal with here in California. But, this is one of the reasons you have lifetime access to ALL the videos, plans, tool lists – everything, when you join The Weekend Woodworker. You can watch the videos now, get ready and once it gets a little warmer you can start building (plus take advantage of all the discount tools and lumber after the holidays).

If you scroll up the page you’ll be able to see all seven projects!

The course is designed for you to complete 6 projects over 6 weekends (two full days). You’ll get access to the first right away with each next project being released every week. Of course, you could complete them faster or slower depending on how much time you have to spend. You could use the course during vacations and complete multiple projects in one week. You’ll have lifetime access to all the plans, tutorials, and skills videos so you can take them at your own pace. If you look at the week-by-week breakdown you’ll also see the specific estimates and video lengths for each project.

Once the videos are released, you can watch them at any time and build the projects whenever you like, so there are no time restrictions. Again, you’ll have lifetime access.

Yes! Aside from availability and price differences for tools, The Weekend Woodworker course will still work for you. All projects come with plans in both imperial and metric measurements, so you should have no problem following along with the course.

You’ll get instant access to the complete bonus project – the Basic Mobile Workbench. No waiting for DVDs or books in the mail. Each Monday you’ll receive the next weekend’s project and all of the plans, instructions and supply lists for it. You’ll also get instant access to all the lumber and material lists for the whole course (so if that lumber yard is kind of far, you only need to make one trip!) and my bonus guides and glossary.

You have lifetime access to the course. This means once you're enrolled you will be able to access all the videos, PDFs, plans and lists forever.

Absolutely – you have lifetime access to the course, so you won’t miss out on anything! However, I strongly recommend continuing the projects in order (rather than skipping one and coming back to it) as the skills in each project progress on the last.

No! No router required at any point in the course – all the tools you need are listed in my tool guide.

Don't worry if you don't have any dado blades – in the videos I explain how you can use your regular saw blade to make the necessary cuts.

Of course! The most common “workshop” for weekend builders and hobbyists is a small portion of a garage shared with cars. This is very practical and not difficult to set up. The key is staying organized and keeping your tools mobile and portable.

I’ve also included a special section in the course with all my tips and tricks on setting up your woodworking space (no matter how small!)

Of course! Many members from the first group have already sold a number of their pieces! Plus, I’ve included a bonus guide on how you’ll best be able to do so.

I’m not offering payment plans at the moment.

No, I do not store any credit card information on the server.

I use Stripe.com, one of the most secure and reputable payment processors available. All card numbers are encrypted and decryption keys are stored on separate machines.

So your credit card details are perfectly safe!

The videos are much more in-depth than my YouTube videos. I’ve slowed down the tricky steps and laid these out clearly in the step-by-step and skills guides along with the videos. Also, I’ve never taught these projects on my YouTube channel before.

The course is so detailed that you’re unlikely to have any question I haven’t answered. I took questions on every project from the first group to go through the course and have included my answers in a special project Q&A section, leaving no question unanswered.

Don’t worry! All project videos come with English captions. So if you have any problems hearing or understanding me you can simply read along.

I truly believe that anyone can do woodworking.

The thing is, it's just a series of steps. So, if you're able to do one small step: “I can cut a board in half.” Then it's not that much of a leap to take that board and attach it to another board. Once you've got that, there are few things you can’t do.

And to me, that's part of the appeal of woodworking. Ultimately, it's simple. There's really nothing complicated about it. Even $10,000 furniture is ultimately simple to make. It's just got a lot of steps to it.

Together, we’ll work through it. One step at a time.

And if you find it’s not for you, that’s ok, too. I offer a 100% money-back guarantee.
