About the
Furniture Kits
Our kits are designed to provide
the DYI enthusiast with all
the materials and instructions
necessary to produce an attractive
finished product. We've done
all the research, tracked down
the components, machine cut
the parts and laboured over
the instructions. Each project
has been tested in a workshop
situation to make sure it's
easy to finish. All our kits
can be completed with only
small hand tools, paint and
glue. You get to do the fun
part - putting it all together!
If you are ordering kits for
a group project, we will give
your club a 10% discount on
10 or more kits of the same
project.
| TIP:
We recommend using
a small plastic glue
bottle with a metal
tip for dispensing
the tacky glue used
in all the wicker
projects. Our experience
has been that it is
more accurate and
less messy than using
a toothpick or the
hypodermic type glue
guns. See section
on Supplies. |
