The Weekend Woodworker is an online woodworking education program created by Steve Ramsey, known for teaching through his YouTube channel, Woodworking for Mere Mortals. Designed for complete beginners as well as people looking to strengthen their woodworking skills, the six-week course guides students through building practical, attractive projects for the home, office, shop, and patio. Lessons progress from simpler projects to more complex work, helping learners build skills along the way.

The course includes six weekend projects taught through 12 step-by-step video tutorials, along with printable plans in U.S. and metric measurements, cut lists, and complete materials and tool lists. Students also receive tool demonstrations, skills walkthroughs, finishing guidance, and project modifications suited to different experience levels. The program emphasizes basic woodworking tools and is intended for people with limited time, space, or equipment. Lifetime access lets students complete the lessons at their own pace. By combining clear instruction with hands-on projects, The Weekend Woodworker helps learners develop techniques and create pieces tailored to their needs and preferences.
