DEAR WOODWORKER

Let me take a wild guess. You've spent hundreds of dollars or even more on your woodworking projects - it took you a LOT longer than you thought, or maybe you even called it quits because you kept getting your measurements wrong.

Or perhaps you've:

	Postponed a project because you ran out of ideas?
	Thought you had every detail figured out, only to find that it still went wrong!
	Had sticker-shock because of the high prices DIY stores charges for their sheds, decks and self assembly garden buildings?

If you answered YES to any of the above, I feel your pain! You see, I used to be exactly where you are. That's why I put up this site: to help folks like yourself get the job done cheaply, fast and without headaches, every time, using my . never-before published woodworking plans

When I built my first deck, almost 20 years ago, I thought I had it all figured out. 4 exhausting months later, I still wasn't done - I thought I had every detail measured out, only to find that I've got it all WRONG. So I decided to find a better way.

For the past 6 years, I've spent thousands of hours buying, reading and restructuring woodworking plans. Restructuring, because most plans on the market left me with questions - not answers! Their diagrams are confusing, unclear, or even wrong and they often skip important parts. No wonder woodworking seemed so hard!

Yet all these issues were a blessing in disguise, because it made me create my own woodworking plans gallery: I named it -WOODWORK4U a clear, detailed, step-by-step system that didn't leave anything to the imagination.

DO IT YOURSELF OR DIY
The DIY ethic (do it yourself ethic) refers to the ethic of being self-reliant by completing tasks oneself as opposed to having others who are more experienced or able complete them for you. It promotes the idea that an ordinary person can learn to do more than he or she thought was possible. Naturally, a DIY attitude requires that the adherent attain the knowledge required to complete a given task. Without this, DIY is not an effective dogma. The term can refer to "doing" anything at all, including home improvements and repairs, first aid, and creative endeavors.

Central to the ethic is the empowerment of individuals and communities, encouraging the employment of alternative approaches when faced with bureaucratic or societal obstacles to achieving their objectives.

Rather than belittling or showing disdain for knowledge or expertise, DIY champions the average individual seeking knowledge and expertise for him/herself. Instead of using the services of others who have expertise, a DIY oriented person would seek out the knowledge for him/herself.
