PROJECT OVERVIEW

THE TOOLBOX

LESSON OBJECTIVES

    - What you need to begin this project
    - How the course is structured
    - What processes you will learn
    - How to use the resources available
Easy Navigation

The problem with uploading to YouTube is that navigation becomes hard, especially when trying to follow an online school. Unless it’s in a playlist (which can be troublesome to find) you have no idea where to start, what you need to learn, and why you need to learn it. This school puts everything in an easy to understand format and helps you get the most from this free course.

Bite-Size Chunks

I get it, it’s a pain in the arse when you need a reminder on a small process made within a video, yet you need to sift through a 40 minute long video to find it. Instead of 40 minute videos, this course is broken down into small manageable chunks meaning it’s far easier to find what you’re looking for.

Plans

The optional plans for this course come at no cost and you can download them here.

Pre-Planed and Sized Project Packs

If you would like to purchased pre-sized material at a good price, visit www.mattestlea.com/projectpacks. These come in a variety of different materials and are perfect for those who want to avoid the fuss and get straight into cutting some joinery!

Free Tool List

You know how annoying it is when you get to a certain point in the project and realise you don’t have everything needed. I’ve got you covered. For each project there will be a tool list that includes everything needed to get the project completed. This tool list tends to a range of budgets as well as both hand tool users, and machine users.
