Then this may be the most important letter you'll ever read...
“Here's The BIG Problem...”
When I started looking online for plans and buying magazines, here's what I discovered:
Most plans and woodworking magazines are COMPLETE GARBAGE.
Here's why:
Plans are NOT specific enough - They either lack a step or they lack
descriptions or measurements.
Instructions that leave out VITAL information, assuming that you are
experienced enough to "fill in the blanks"
Assuming you're a master craftsman with access to expensive tools and a
large workshop!
Plans that are too complex for beginners that require thousands of dollars in
high-end machinery!
And in many cases, there is simply NOT enough detail!
One of projects I saw was for a modern wardrobe but the
details on how to put it together were terrible.
You have to start guessing at where to attach carriage bolts,
etc.
Another was that the top back board is not straight as it has
design to it which was not explained.
So I took paper template and drew out and traced on boards
best I could for one of my students.
These so called "step by step" plans make woodworking HARDER than it actually is.
No wonder woodworking seem so hard!
