Welcome to KERF!
KERF is a community of builders that represent the spectrum of experience from trade masters to dedicated DIYers with time in the trenches whose resume is their experiences. Diversity makes KERF unique. It’s not a club of book experts, keyboard warriors or a fraternity of unrelatable experts. The mixed perspectives make the information practical, approachable and actionable. Here you’ll find entertainment, inspiration, education, a rich podcast and building events that help you build better. Take a look around and if you want to keep in touch be sure to join the KERF newsletter. Click the button below or there’s always a link in the menu above. Welcome!

Perhaps the most powerful offering to KERF visitors is our educational resources from tutorials, project plans, articles, informative videos, eCourses, webinars and eWorkshops the KERF visitor has access to highly relevant information that helps them with their unique needs in formats that resonate with them.
Listen
Designed for our ‘on-the-go’ community the KERF podcast helps surface ideas, experiences and stories we can all benefit from. It helps share stories, explore deeper questions that we all have and helps us get inside some of the best minds of the most experienced and knowledgable people out there. Listeners benefit from hearings perspectives from everyone involved or affected by a build from the earliest stages of planning through the last piece of trim. Helping listeners learn and better understand products and services in a very approachable format helps everyone!
Attend
There is no deeper connection to building than putting into practice the things we learn. Events offer a tangible place to build relationships with like minded people, to develop skills otherwise unattainable and to create deep, lasting, memories through actual building. Working with specific products and getting the “feel” for their proper use creates a strong familiarity and connection to these products or services when our visitors are ready to use them in their own projects.
