Power Tools: Explained

This was my first purchase of plans from Pine and Poplar. The description and images were fantastic and my table turned out beautifully.

I found her on Instagram about 6 months ago and followed her. I have followed about a dozen people that focus on DIY's like myself, but there is just something about her and how she presents herself. Super chill, but detailed. You can see her passion. She puts out a lot of content as well as sells her knowledge of how to make the things she makes. I have purchased several of her classes and have found that with some practice you can really make some cool sh*t! I am 56 years young and never imagined I could make the things I have made out of wood. If you want to learn from a young lady that knows her stuff inside and out, then open you wallet and buy some of her beginner classes, you will be AMAZED at what you can make with zero previous experience.

I Made That has given me the confidence to not only build my own furniture but to tackle projects and renovations around the house. I am so thankful I came across Zoe's webinar and purchased I Made That. It's changed my life.

I made two changes:
-I made it only 54" long.
-Instead of cutting 100's of dowels I used Oak Pole Wrap from an on-line source. It changed the front &sides 1/4" set-back dimension.

The plans were extremely valuable.

So much thought and attention to detail has gone into “ i made that “ course.
i’m very practical but this course helped me fine tune all my ideas and get to the end product i want without so many trial and errors along the way.
This course simply pays for itself with all the savings you will make on future mistakes you are bound to do without this course. Zoe been very helpful with communication via emails which is a added bonus

After dreaming about getting started learning to use tools and make things, this program helped me go from overwhelmed to confident. Before I was trying to learn some basic DIY building skills, but the information on You Tube was overwhelming. With the course, I have had success with each project because of the detailed, step by step instructions. If I got stumped, I could go back and re-watch the specific piece I needed until I was able to go back to the project with the information I needed. Everything was very well organized.

This course is a game changer! I went from never holding a drill to building four pieces of beautiful furniture and I am SO PROUD! I have confidence in using my miter saw, measuring, and being able to follow plans… successfully!!! The lessons are so well organized, accessible for a total beginner, and everything WORKED. It was worth every penny and every minute of my time! I can now use power tools and I have created four beautiful pieces! I have both knowledge and skills; it’s incredible!

It was my first time using a miter saw and a table saw, and the plans were not only easy to follow, but I resized them and they still came out perfect!

Absolutely spot on plans. My only complaint is not being warned in the plans that you need some serious PATIENCE for the weaving part. I finished the wood pieces in less than a few hours, but the weaving took me a few long days of watching tv and weaving. Even though it took me a while, absolutely worth it. I’m speechless I finished this.

Learning the step by step process used to be difficult. I’d have to visit different sites and put all the different parts together. Now, everything is all in one place. Laid out and logical! I hesitated to buy this course but am so glad I did. Love her teaching style! Easy to follow and actually fun. Excited to build! I now feel more confident to tackle bigger projects.

This was my favorite Pine and poplar project yet! It was so beginner friendly, yet fully customizable! I would recommend Pine in Poplar Projects DIY plans seven days a week and twice on Sunday but this one was extra special! The fact that you can choose any configuration you want is genius! Thank you for helping me build my own outdoor furniture for a fraction of the cost

The plans were clear and easy to understand. I tweaked the design and dimensions a little to my liking and chair pad size with no problems. Built mine out of cedar. Stained with TWP Rustic. Table and ottoman not included in plans, but use the same general concepts.

My brother and I built two of these chairs to go in my parents balcony as an early Father’s Day surprise. They came out beautifully! Plenty is room in the chair and very comfy.

This was my first time building a chair and the instructions were straight forward and easy to follow.

Overall, very straightforward and definitely simplified my trip to the hardware store. No last minute trips to get the job done.

The plans were great!
