I Wish I Thought About a Woodwork Guide First!

Last summer, I made an attempt to build a deck in my backyard.  I thought I was a relatively smart guy and would have no need for a woodwork guide.  Boy was I wrong!  Not only did I spend close to double what I thought, but it still isn’t finished!

A woodwork guide would have saved me the headache and heartache of trying to do this myself.  Regardless of how smart I thought I was, I didn’t know enough to build a deck from scratch.  So why did I not even consider a woodwork guide?  One word –

PRIDE

For one reason or another, I didn’t want to see like I didn’t know what I was doing.  I thought that a woodworking download would make me look weak or something.  I don’t know.  What I do know is that it was completely NOT WORTH my trouble.  I know look more silly because I have a quarter of my deck up and a bunch of 2 x 4′s sitting in my garage.  Again, who looks silly now?

A woodwork guide as I learned is not a bad thing.  It really just serves as a road map to successfully building whatever wood project you want.  After all, I still need to actually build it right?  Now that I have my woodwork guide for thousands of projects, I look back and just sort of laugh at how stupid I was!

If you are serious about building anything out of wood, please do not make the same mistake that I did by overlooking the value of a woodwork guide.  It is only going to help!  Because I am able to look at pictures and diagrams while building, I can actually visualize how this project is going to work.  Not to mention, I know exactly what I am going to need BEFORE I actually go to the store!

Take the time and find a woodwork guide that is suitable for you.  No one is going to think less of you because you had a guide throughout your project.  At the end, just think of how proud you will be of what YOU have just built!

Not having a woodwork guide when I first started building my deck was a HUGE mistake on my end. Now that I’m almost done with it, I am moving on to the rest of my “unfinished projects”! With the use of my Woodwork Guide I know that I can get them done. I made a short video showing the guide that I use. Feel free to take a look at – Woodwork Guide.
