What exactly is included?

The plans, guides, and bonuses are pdf files, viewable on your computer, tablet, and phone. They can also be saved to your computer and printed.

Project Tutorials include detailed HD videos with full commentary. These videos are streamed online so an internet connection is required.

The Training Vault includes shorter videos, each focused on specific cuts or techniques common in woodworking. These are also streamed online.

Upon purchase, you’ll get immediate membership access. From the member’s area, you can access the videos, and all the pdf downloads for the plans and bonuses shown on this page.

Also within the members area, you’ll have access to my Full Woodworkers Resources page, and my Materials Resources page for jig hardware.

The library of plans, training videos, and project tutorials will continue to grow and expand. You’ll have access to it all, for as long as you’re a member.

Is it for beginners?

The included projects are beginner friendly, to an extent. You should have a basic working knowledge of your power tools, and some experience making cuts, understanding safety, having a tuned and accurate table saw, etc.

I do have beginner-focused training videos that are tool-specific in the Training Vault. That, plus the free content on my blog, The Power Tool Website, will help you get through many of the beginner hurdles.

I’ve made the plans very easy to follow and understand, so beginners can easily make sense of them.

Plus, the results you’ll get from these jigs are incredibly useful for beginners.

While I don’t consider myself an advanced woodworking artisan, I do work in the intermediate/advanced range.. And while these jigs are usable by beginners, I personally still use them on my projects on a regular basis. The point is, you won’t be out-growing these jigs any time soon!

What tools should I have to get the most from Wood Shop Essentials?

Much of beginner woodworking, and the training and projects inside WSE, are focused on the Table Saw, Router, and Drill Press. With these 3 tools, you can accomplish so many awesome things in a wood shop.

In addition to these, you will also want some basic woodworking hand tools. For example, you’ll need a way to cut curves. If you don’t have a scroll or band saw, it can be done with a jig saw, or even a coping saw. You’ll also need a drill and a pocket hole jig.

If you’re a complete beginner and have no tools, you will need to be ready to invest in the basics. In each project I lay out all the tools and bits required to complete the project, that way there are no surprises half way through.

Plus, as a bonus you’ll be getting access to my ebook “Setting Up Shop”, which is explained above, and has shopping lists and tips on saving money on tool purchases you’ll want to refer to.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes there is. It’s detailed above on this page. I offer a 60 day money back guarantee, no questions asked. If you feel I did not provide the value you expected, you can email me and ask for a refund.

Can I find these project plans free online somewhere else?

The plans I offer specifically are all custom designed and created by me, so no. But there are possibly similar projects out there.

The problem is that anyone can put out free plans, and they will come with zero support, and if they end up being poorly designed or explained, it may leave you high and dry in the middle of a project, having wasted time and money.

I stand behind my plans, and I offer email support for all my customers, as well as a 60 day money back guarantee. That means I have a real incentive to make sure my plans work, are everything I say they are, and to keep my customers happy.

That’s the difference in paying for premium plans like mine, vs finding freebies online.

Are there any specialty items that are hard to find, needed to build these jigs?

Some items I use may or may not be easy to find locally, depending on where you are. I do some of my shopping for these kinds of things on Amazon. You’ll get access to my Materials Resources page, giving you Amazon links to the items I personally use (and vouch for) when building my jigs and sleds.

Is my credit card secure?

Credit card security is extremely important to me. That’s why I’ve partnered with Stripe and Paypal. They offer extra layers of protection, including an encryption layer on the transaction, to ensure that your payment information is safe.

Your card information is only seen and handled by these payment processors, and not by me directly, in any way. Honestly, you have a higher chance of credit card fraud at your local gas stations than you do using the Stripe or PayPal payment processors.

What if I’m not ready to begin yet?

With access to WSE, you get a lot of material from day one, none of which will expire for as long as you’re a member.

That means you can access your downloads from there anytime, whether it be today, or 6 months from now.

The benefit of buying now, even if you don’t plan on starting until later, is that you’ll lock in the current price. Plus you’ll get all new plans and content I add to Wood Shop Essentials, for as long as you remain a member.

How does the membership to Wood Shop Essentials Club work?

By joining the club, you’ll be able to log into the member’s area and access everything included.

You’ll be automatically renewed so you can remain a member for as long as you wish. 

Cancelling is simple, see below.

How do I cancel the membership access?

This is very simple. When logged into the membership area, you can go to “My Details” where you’ll see your account info. Here you’ll find your active subscription details, and beside that there is a ‘Cancel’ link you’ll need to click on.

You’ll even be able to keep the plans you’ve already downloaded.

How fast can I get started?

Well, first scroll down just below and click the buy button or the link underneath it. Handle the transaction and you’ll immediately have access to download all the plans. From there, it’s a matter of deciding where you want to begin, and then getting your material to get started.
