Now if you want to create the projects you've dreamed of - quickly and easily...

Here is how it works:

- Project planning and design during one of our workshop classes

In addition to the 16,000 plans, we release new plans every month drafted from our workshop.

You will get lifetime access to a membership area where you can download these new plans monthly.

There are NO recurring fees, no expiry date.

We've been releasing new plans for several years now to thousands of woodworkers.

You can even request a plan to be drafted for you and I'll make sure it gets drafted in the next cycle.
