UNLOCK THE FULL POTENTIAL OF DIY
I Planned That™ Course
The beauty of DIY is that you can customize projects to fit your space: both in terms of design and dimensions. But, if you don’t feel comfortable making your own project plans, you’re limited to what’s already available. You endlessly scroll through Pinterest trying to find something that’s “close enough” and end up with a thumb that’s cramping and no project plan.
That's where I Planned That comes in. We'll teach you our step-by-step planning process (and how to use SketchUp to visualize your designs before building), so that you can unlock the full potential of DIY.
$97 $67

You don't have to use SketchUp to create project plans, but once we learned it there was no turning back. SketchUp allows you to double-check your measurements without you needing to do any math. It also allows you to visualize your project to confirm that you like the proportions. This is especially helpful with doors and drawers! Finally, it allows you to "assemble" your project before heading out to the garage. That means you can build faster and with more confidence!

Yes! Trust me, I understand how you feel. When I first started using SketchUp it felt impossible--I almost threw in the towel multiple times.
Here's the thing about SketchUp: it's easy once it "clicks". But getting it to click can be really difficult when you're trying to figure it out on your own or piecing together random YouTube videos. Here's why: SketchUp is a super powerful tool. It's designed to do way more than DIY project plans. There are a ton of features and tools and extensions and blah blah blah that you never even need to touch to create awesome DIY plans.
As you take this course, I promise SketchUp will become easier than you expected. We'll walk you through what you actually need to know and the simple little tricks that'll take SketchUp from being so frustrating that you want to chuck your computer through the wall to a simple, yet powerful visualizing software.
This course assumes you already know the foundation of DIY. We won’t talk about using power tools, what a pocket hole is, or how to actually build a project. If you’re getting started and want to learn how to DIY, you’ll want to start with I Made That™. It’s our course designed to take you from DIY wannabe to fearless furniture builder.
If you’ve already built a project, or two, or fifty, and feel comfortable with the basics of DIY, this course is a great fit. It was created to help you unlock the full potential of DIY. Instead of feeling limited by the project plans that are currently available, you can create your own that are tailored to your style and space.
Do you really have time to not plan your projects? People are always amazed at how quickly we build projects and I attribute the vast majority of our speed to preparation. Instead of spending time in the garage scratching my head wondering what board to cut next and how to best put something together, I spend it actually cutting and building.
I have a game plan before I begin. When you plan things out using SketchUp, a lot of those “hmm, wait…did I do my math wrong” and “hm…will this go together? I didn’t think this through…” moments go away because you already “assembled” the project on SketchUp.
Sure, there are times where you will have to pivot and make changes along the way, but having a solid plan to start will always save you time in the long run.
That's alright! Our goal for the SketchUp 101 portion of this course is to make it as easy and beginner-friendly as possible. We won't bog you down with a bunch of random and confusing features that you'll never use. We'll teach you what you need to know and in the order you need to learn it, starting from the very basics.
If you try SketchUp and decide you're really just a pen and paper type of person, that's okay too. This course is so much more than just how to use SketchUp. You'll still get the process and skills you need to create solid DIY project plans.
The course is pre-recorded and edited so that you can work through it on your own schedule. You'll get access to the course within 15 minutes of purchasing so that you can dive right in!
How does forever sound? When you enroll in I Planned That, you get lifetime access to the course, so you can work at your own pace and refer back to the videos and cheatsheets whenever you please. You'll also get free updates when we add additional lessons!
Please Note:
Knowing how to make your own DIY furniture plans may result in building more projects you love.
