You're not "not handy." You've just been building from bad plans.

You found a free plan online, drove to the store, decoded "1×6" (which isn't 6 inches — nobody tells you that), spent $40 and a Saturday cutting, and the parts didn't add up. The box wasn't square. You shoved it in the garage and decided woodworking wasn't for you.

That's The Cut-List Gap: the silent space between a nice photo and parts that actually fit. Most free plans were never built or checked, so beginners cut wrong and blame their own hands.

The Weekend Workshop closes it. Ten beginner projects — phone stand, picture ledge, floating shelf, planter, coat rack, bench, side table, step stool, cutting board, tool tote — each with a Verified Plan: a measured drawing, a numbered exploded view, a checked cut list (imperial AND metric), a shopping list, the exact tools, numbered steps, and a maker's tip. Every cut list's math is shown on the page, so the parts add up before you buy a board.

No workshop needed. A drill, a saw, a square, and a couple of clamps build most of the book. Projects are ordered so each one teaches the skill the next one needs — and you keep, gift, or sell everything you make.

Build plans are educational. Woodworking involves sharp tools and power equipment — follow your tool manufacturers' instructions and work safely.
