The PlansThese detailed plans come as a downloadable 89-page, full-color PDF ebook, written for beginners (though some prior DIY experience is a plus, given the size of the project). Tools and materials, measurements, cuts, techniques -- everything is spelled out with step-by-step instructions, illustrations, pictures, and tips. Both U.S. (feet/inches) and metric (mm) measurements are included. And as with all of our plans, you get email support from the designer should you need it.
