Independent guide to woodworking plans

Woodworking plans you can actually follow

A good plan saves lumber and guesswork. Here is what a buildable plan should include, and a plain look at TedsWoodworking, a catalogue of 16,000 plans for beginner to advanced woodworkers.

Before you pick a plan, check that it has:

  1. A cut list: every part with its dimensions, so you cut each piece once
  2. A materials list: lumber, hardware and finish, before you go shopping
  3. Steps in build order: numbered, so you are never guessing what comes next
  4. Drawings from more than one angle: so joints and assemblies are clear
  5. A skill level: so a first project does not need a joint you have not learned yet
