Jargon-free, beginner-friendly instruction to help you master the basic power tools and become a confident, creative DIYer 

ENROLL NOW

Power tools are your friends :) 

They empower you to build your own furniture, turn raw materials into art, and fix what’s broken.

But before you can do any of that, you have to figure out how your tools work, and conquer your fear, overwhelm, and frustration

— so you can start making stuff. 

If the powerful spinning blades of your saw freak you out a little bit…

Or you keep stripping screws every time you try to use a drill …

And you’ve wished for a super simple, non-intimidating, start-from-the-beginning walkthrough of how to use each tool…


Then you, my friend, are in the right place.

Welcome to Power Tool School

Hi. 👋🏽

I’m Anika Gandhi 

I’m the creative force behind Anika’s DIY Life, a one-stop (wood)shop for aspiring and beginner DIYers who want to master the features and functions of their tools. So they can confidently build their own furniture, tackle home improvement projects, or make some cool stuff.

With a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, I’m driven by the need to know HOW things work and WHY they work that way. My simple tutorials, power tool breakdowns, woodworking plans, and online course library are all part of my mission to demystify DIY and turn freaked-out novices into fearless creators.

"Thank you SO much for this detailed explanation. No fuss, very clear, and very approachable explanations. I really appreciate you taking the time to help the rest of us feel more comfortable with intimidating power tools!"

- Sarah M.

"I love your videos. Your explanations are always so simplistic. I built my first drawer with your help. I feel like such a boss :) Thank you so much for your videos. I have watched and rewatched many of them. I am a fan."
