Yes, we believe they are! We spend a lot of time ensuring our plans are easy to follow and result in an enjoyable build. Our plans have lots of pictures, alongside clear and concise language. We also try to make the plans as comprehensive as possible, so that we can guide you through the entire build process.
If you have any questions prior to purchase or after purchase, please send us a message. We will be happy to answer your questions and welcome the opportunity to make our plans better for the next person.
If you still aren’t convinced, here is a brief article about our plans and some example pages. Also, please feel free to download some of our plans that are available for free to test us out.
All our plans that cost money are sold via Etsy. This is due some very limited laws on the sale of digital products. Since a small company like ours could never justify the required accounting admin for international sales, we will let Etsy do it for us. Hope that’s ok with you!
If you click through to ‘Buy on Etsy’, the price will automatically update to your country’s currency.
Your plans will be immediately available for download once payment is confirmed.
If purchasing free plans from our website, you will receive an email with a download link. If you haven’t received an email, check your spam folder. The subject of the email will be ‘Makers Manual Order Complete’.
If ordering from Etsy please click this link and they will tell you how it all works.
That is a question only you can answer. What we can say, is that we make every effort to make sure our plans are easy to follow for both expert and beginner. We also say above if we recommend the plans for Beginner, Intermediate or Expert, with a short description why.
If the plans come with an accompanying video, we would recommend you watching that first. If you still aren’t sure, maybe test yourself first with one of our beginner friendly projects.
We understand that finding the same size lumber can be difficult at times. Unfortunately, lumber sizing tends to vary from country to country and even from store to store. To cope with this, we try to build in wiggle room to our plans wherever possible.
Please read the ‘Materials Required’ section carefully. We try to specify if a dimension is critical or if you can substitute for something close.
Also please read the entire manual before ordering any materials, once you have a good idea of the process, it should all become clear how you might be able to tweak things to suit.
The nice thing about woodworking, is that there are many ways to do something. Our plans will often offer alternative methods of completing a step, although for obvious reasons, it isn’t possible to include all the ways in our plans. Usually it isn’t hard to find a workaround.
For instance, we might say you need a band saw, but you could use a jig saw. We try our best to list the tools required, with potential alternatives.
If however there is an essential tool that you just can’t do without. Then I am sorry, this isn’t the right project for you. Or maybe it might just be the excuse you need to buy new tool. ;)
We have a whole section of our website dedicated to answering that question. Tools We Use lists all the tools we use on a regular basis along with a short review of that tool and links where you can purchase them.
It’s true we give away a lot of information in our videos, and for some that will be enough. But our YouTube videos are primarily for entertainment and we edit them down significantly to keep them appealing.
Our plans go into much more detail about the various steps, along with various hints and tips we just don’t have time for on YouTube. Also, we believe it’s helpful having a printable document, that can accompany you into the workshop.
For projects that require Specific Dimensions, Templates or DXF or STL files, the plans are essential.
