Woodworking used to frighten me. Maybe you have fears too. I’m the guy who couldn’t cut a board straight or hammering a nail without bruising a thumb.

From Fear To Pleasure

Woodworking is a joy to me now because I now have a source for step-by-step, lead me by the hand instructions. I just hope I’m around long enough to complete all 16,000 projects!
The Faster & Easier Way To Woodworking!

I Was A Woodworking Klutz

No joke–I messed up every woodworking project I ever tackled–from my 8th grade wood shop class to about a year ago. Here’s what happened. Margie (my wife) and I contracted to have a screened-in porch converted into a “Carolina Room.” Some folks call this a Florida Room but we live in North Carolina.

The contractor was to install floor-to-ceiling windows on all three sides and would provide the electrical work. We also contracted with a Big Box home improvement store to put in a hardwood floor.

How I got stuck with the job!

Well all was well and as the contractor was nearing completion it was time to get the floor installed. We went to see Mr. Big Box –and guess what–the contractor they hired to install the floor wasn’t available. Bulls%#t. They forgot to book one.

My baptism of fire

So we loaded up the many boxes of flooring, bought a table saw and headed back to our coastal cottage. I was as nervous as a schoolboy going to his first prom. But you know what–I finished the floor with 1/2 a day to spare before our big 4th of July party. The guests raved about the floor (and Margie’s cooking)!

The next project was to install crown molding in our bedroom. Well that meant I’d need a compound miter saw (and another pile of lumber). I managed to knock out that job in record time too.

Now I knew enough to be dangerous!

Buoyed up with two major successes, we planned addition projects: an arbor for the backyard, a new shed for our outdoor water pump, replacing some of the trim on the house and possibly finishing off the space above the garage.

Now I knew I would need help on these projects. My dim eyesight often had me getting the wrong readings from my tape measure and I simply could not imagine building a shed and an arbor with some sort of plans.

I let my mouse do the walking (or surfing)

So I began scanning the Internet and failed to find anything that made any sense. We bought several home improvement magazines, but their instructions and plans were crap. I was about to scrap the whole idea until I remembered a source of electronic e-books where I had bought several products on totally unrelated subjects.

Ted McGrath to the rescue!

It took the better part of 10 minutes to find a book that really sounded great. It was a long sales letter but it really did make sense to me. This guy, Ted McGrath was my kind of guy. All he had to say really struck a chord.

Here’s what he had to say, “Well, luckily for you, these problems become a blessing in disguise because I have spent the last 2 years putting together a comprehensive woodworking package with a clear, detailed, step-by-step system that doesn’t leave anything to the imagination. Over 16,000 Projects and Woodworking Plans With Step-By-Step, Easy To Follow Instructions… ”

16,000 projects!

Now that I can live with! It’s the Step-By-Step idea that sold me.
16,000 Step By Step Woodworking Plans…that seemed a bit too much but the graphics on his website showing diagrams, plans and step-by-step tutorials convinced me that this was the way to go.

The package that Ted supplies contains plans that are covered from head to toe. From step-by-step instructions and easy to follow guides, to those easy-to-understand plans that will make woodworking a breeze!

I had to let my buddies in on this

I was so excited from what I read that I contacted several of my buddies–guys also planning some Honey-Do projects. And this guy Ted said, “OK…here’s what I’ll do for you Don, and your friends. Tell them to use this special link and I’ll reduce the price. But don’t fool around fellas because this won’t last forever.”
