  This is where the magic happens! Dedicate a section to each of your 7 project plans. I recommend the below structure for each project, so reader can quickly understand what the project entails.

  1. Project Title (Catchy and descriptive!) – Like "The Breezy Beach Table" or "The Backyard BBQ Buddy".
  2. Overview – A short paragraph about the table’s purpose and key features.
  3. Difficulty Level – Be honest! Is it a beginner project or for someone with more experience?
  4. Materials List (Detailed!) – List all the wood, hardware (screws, hinges, etc.), and other supplies needed. Make it easy to copy and paste for shopping!
  5. Tools Required – Saw, drill, sander… everything they’ll need to have on hand.
  6. Step-by-Step Instructions (Clear and concise!) – Break down the construction process into manageable steps. Use images to demonstrate each step. Write them in short, action-oriented sentences.
  7. Pro Tips – Share any insider knowledge or shortcuts to make the project easier or improve the final result.
  8. Variations – Suggest ways to customize the table, like different paint colors, finishes, or design modifications.

  We can represent each of the projects in a table as below, which would make it easier for the user.
