The hope here is that the woodworker will get the spark, and have a desire to learn more, and to get into true carpentry (or decide it's not for them and leave it to the professionals)

HOWEVER the dozens of people in my city that have taken to charging >$500 for a '$30 Ana-White Special' is ridiculous.

Together with her husband Jacob, Ana created a surprisingly spacious 24-foot-long tiny house for a client that is jam-packed with clever, transforming furniture ideas and an affordable DIY 'elevator bed'.
