Why learn from Megan

Hand tool furniture that lastsMegan’s courses use straightforward hand tool methods to build sturdy pieces, a great way to build real skills without a shop full of machines.
Tool chests are her thingWhen she is not editing or teaching, Megan is building furniture, mostly tool chests. The Traveling Anarchist’s Tool Chest is a piece she knows inside and out.
An editor’s clarityYears of editing woodworking books and magazines mean she explains each step clearly and in the right order.
Ask questions as you buildEvery lesson has its own discussion area. Post a question or a photo of the spot where you are stuck and get help from members building the same piece.
