How exactly does a Guild Build work?

During a build, we will release one video per week covering a specific part of the project. You’ll also receive a detailed SketchUp/PDF plan and cutlist. We will also have live meetings and demonstrations where you can get answers to your questions and interact with your fellow Guild members. You do NOT need to build along in order to enjoy this membership. Previous builds will be available in the archive for you to download and view at your leisure.

Don’t take it from me,
here’s what our guild member’s have to say…

“I needed a teacher, a mentor that could help get me going. Fortunately, I found Marc Spagnuolo at thewoodwhisperer.com. Here is a guy that really knows how to teach. He shows every step in the process, not just the highlights. He gives really detailed plans. He patiently explains the traps, the problems you are likely to encounter. He doesn’t pull any punches about how hard something is going to be. And he’s willing to admit and show his mistakes. In short, his teaching style for woodworking is exactly what I try to do with my teaching style for poker.”

Phil Gordon – Poker Player/Author

“There is nowhere else, whether it be in the virtual world or real world, where you will find more value for your woodworking education dollar than on the Guild site. I am always completely amazed that Marc offers so much in the way of extra videos, Guild chats, guild builds, special guest interviews and of course the guild builds for such a relatively low price. And it is not only educational, inspiring and motivating, but entertaining in Marc’s unique style of teaching. As Marc knows , I often feel guilty paying such a low price for all his hard work, because I get so much out of it. I can honestly say my guild membership is my most well spent woodworking dollars.”

David Taragin (runningwood) – Member since December 2008
