Description of Build

This course will walk you through everything you need to make an amazing dining room piece valued at $4,500 that will be the talking point of the house.  The build is simple enough but the invaluable information is where to source your materials, how to get the correct epoxy look you want, and limiting errors with such expensive materials.  Don’t learn the hard way on this one.

Cost Estimate

$650.

These estimates are created on the assumption that you will buy all materials from the list and no new tools.  This number will fluctuate by supply costs in your area, the amount of extra materials you have, and your access to tools needed. 

Potential Market Value

$4,500.

These estimates are representative of what a handmade comparable item might sell for on the market.  Market value can fluctuate and items that lean heavily into art, design, or high quality will affect perceived value.

Time Estimates

6-10 hours.

Time estimates are very tough to calculate and manage expectations since we all learn at different speeds.  Mostly, variations in time depend on your skill level.  Items that you’ll need to consider for yourself when setting a plan are “how well do I know the tools on the list”, “am I more of a practice perfectionist or cut and fix person”, “do I want customizations/personalizations”.  The low end of this number is how quickly the teacher could go through the course and build the item.  When taking this course you’ll make a pledge to never rush when using any power tools or dangerous materials.
