AFK WOODWORKERS GROUP · A FRAYED KNOT
Turn scrap wood into pieces people ask to buy
& no shop full of tools required.
A monthly membership where you get a pattern library, live classes, and a community that shows you exactly how to build it, sell it, or give it as a gift someone will actually want.
DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
Somewhere between unboxing that saw and selling your first piece, you got stuck.
You bought it because you saw what other women were making: door hangers, porch signs, the pieces that sell out at every craft fair. And you thought, I could do that.
Then you plugged it in.
The blade snapped. The cut wandered off the line. The edges burned. You watched six YouTube videos and got six different answers. Now the saw sits in the corner, and every time you walk past it you think about what you paid for it.
You still want to sell what you make. You just can't picture getting from here to a table full of pieces people actually pay for.
WHAT YOU ACTUALLY NEED
Beginner-friendly patterns that are also sellable, so your practice pieces become inventory instead of scrap.
Live classes where you watch every cut before you make it, so you learn the right way the first time.
Someone to ask when it goes wrong, before one bad cut turns into giving up.
A clear path from first cut to first sale, so selling stops feeling like something for other people.

Here's a sneak peek of projects you'll get the plans to:
What's Included?
Five things, every single month.
Library of 180+ patterns, designed and priced out
Ready-to-build designs plus a masterclass and profit calculator that explains what pieces typically sell for, so you know if it's worth your time before you cut.
Live wood-cutting classes
Watch every cut before you make it, in real time, with Nicole coaching.
Live Q&As
Bring the piece that's going wrong; get it fixed before you give up on it.
The AFK member portal
Every past class and pattern, saved, so you can build on your own schedule and go back to a project you're selling or gifting again later.
VIP Creating with Joy Club included at no extra cost
A second membership (normally $9.99/month) for painting and lighter crafts, bundled in at no extra cost.
What's inside?
180+ patterns, ready when you are.
Every pattern from every month - past and present - lives in your member portal, sized and ready to load onto your scroll saw whenever you pick your next project. Over 100 patterns and growing, with a new one added every month you're a member.
Here's what members have been making...
You can learn this! Look at Barb's story!
Barb, AFK member, five years
She'd never touched a power tool. Five years later, she's guest-teaching other members.
What's required?
Less than you think.
A scroll saw is required for most patterns.
A basic sander and wood glue cover most finishing steps.
New to saws entirely? No worries. Nicole will show you exactly how to begin.
QUESTIONS
The things people ask first.
What if I've never used a scroll saw?
Every class starts with the cut, on camera, in real time. Some members join with zero power tool experience.
What tools do I actually need?
A scroll saw for most patterns, plus a basic sander and wood glue.
Can I sell what I make?
Yes, you can think of the group as your product line planned for you!
How does billing work?
$34.99/month or $349.90/year, billed on the day you join and automatically on the same day going forward.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes — no long-term commitment.
Is Facebook required?
The private community lives on Facebook, but classes and patterns are also saved in your member portal.
Do I need the VIP Club too?
No — it's included free with this membership, not a separate purchase.
