One collection. Three different jobs.
Open the book that answers your next question.

Read the sample pages →06 / BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Start with The Confident Beginner Woodworker. It introduces tools, wood selection, measuring, cuts, joints and finishing before a complete build. Practice unfamiliar operations with proper support and your tool’s instructions.
No. The beginner book compares starter approaches, including borrowed or existing hand tools and $150 and $500 planning budgets. Your actual costs depend on what you own, the project and local prices.
That is a gross-sales planning target, not a forecast or guarantee. The business book explores the products, order volume, costs and capacity behind it. Actual sales depend on demand, pricing, skill, available time and execution.
The bundle includes all three completed PDF ebooks: the beginner skills guide, 100 Weekend Wood Projects That Actually Sell, and The $5,000 Woodshop. Read on a phone, tablet or computer, or print the pages you want beside your workbench.
