If you want to start small, then having simple hand tools will prove to be adequate. You need to buy high quality tools like a hand drill, a timber saw, measurement tools and more.

The package contains over 9,000 premium woodworking furniture and 
craft plans that you can easily follow at home. These projects 
cover a variety of different projects you can work on at home; - 
mostly focusing on furniture and small crafts. 

It contains all the necessary info which includes drawing out clear 
diagrams, accurate dimensions and gave detailed explanations on the 
plans design . 

We think this is extremely important because we have seen plenty of 
free woodworking plans (or pay) on other sites that are created 
recklessly.

Some have inaccurate dimensions, some did not explain what exactly
tools are needed during the woodworking process while some only 
provide the diagrams without proper step by step instructions 
on how to do it. You know what I mean if you've paid for those
lousy woodworking plans in the past. 

Well fortunately, these flaws and mistakes are hardly be seen 
in FurnitureCraftPlans 

The good stuff: 

- All materials and tools needed for a start are properly listed.
- Diagrams are clear and with accurate dimensions.
- Photos are also included; nothing was left to the imagination.
- Detailed explanation of plans will guide you from the scratch 
to the end.
- All is ready to be printed with proper categorization 

Bad stuff: 

Only thing I could complain about is that there are too many plans 
after downloading and sometimes you can feel overwhelmed. But as you 
can imagine, it is difficult to go through over 9,000 plans. 



My suggestion is to focus on the projects you want to work with first. 
As it is categorized, all you need to do is to search and/or go to the 
category you want. Eg: I started with a simple birdhouse so I went to 
the "outdoor small crafts" section to look for related plans. 

I highly recommend this package if you enjoy working with wood. It 
offers fantastic value for money. The woodworking plans are not 
complicated, they are straightforward and extremely easy to follow . 
Even a complete newbie is able to master the woodworking skills and 
techniques within minutes by following the clear and concise 
instructions.

One thing I really enjoy are the free updates. From what we've seen, 
they are consistently updating their members' area with new woodworking 
plans, all for free without additional charges.

As of writing today, the site is giving away a free bonus called 

You would love to have a small boat of your own, but even a small boat can be expensive.   Have you considered making your own?  If you are willing to do the work yourself, you can not only save money, but rest assure knowing exactly how the boat was made.  Many people are concerned that building a boat is much too hard to master or that it will take up too much time.  If you start small, however, you may find those fears allayed.

If you want to achieve your most desired results, you must realize that one of the most important decisions you will make will be the consideration of materials.  If you want to end up with a high-quality boat, you have to start with the same fine materials you would use in the construction of a full-sized boat.

For best results, find a guide that will walk you through each necessary step to build a small boat when you are ready to plan.  A great place to find boat guides is—where else?—the Internet.  From free plans to downloadable libraries, you’re almost sure to find the right boat plan for you.  You must also realize that a project such as this will take up a large amount of time. Don’t think that you’ll be able to finish it in one week unless it is a model boat!  Determining if you will have enough free time to work on your boat before you begin is essential.


Choosing which construction method to use is also crucial.  If you are a novice, plywood boat-building methods such as stitch-and-glue may be best to start with.  If you are looking for more of a challenge, a conventional wooden plank model may be just the thing.  From there, you will need to choose which type of craft to apply the construction method to and the waters the boat will be used on.

For example, a Jon boat makes a good fishing vessel.  If you would like a boat less than 10 feet in size that you will use in calm waters near the shoreline, a dinghy may be just the right boat for you.  As a bonus, once you have mastered building small boats, you will be able to use your knowledge to larger boats.  In time, your small boat may grow into a large hobby to enjoy for years to come.
Teds Woodworking is one of the most popular woodworking plans and projects packages online today. In this Teds Woodworking review we will take a look at this product and see what are the pros and cons of this package.

What Exactly Is This Package?
Created by Ted McGrath, a professional woodworker, educator and AWI member, Teds Woodworking is a massive collection of more than 16,000 woodworking projects and blueprints which you can easily follow to build your own home furniture, garden chairs, dog houses, bird feeders, shed and many more. 

Ted McGrath spent the last 2 years putting together his woodworking package and according to him this package is the most comprehensive online today.

However, with so many woodworking packages out on the market and on the internet today, Is Teds Woodworking really worth the money?

To answer this question and to find if this package is really for you lets talk about some of the pros and cons of Ted McGrath's woodworking package. 

Suitable For Different Levels

There is no doubt that many woodworkers can benefit from this package. Beginners will find these woodworking plans' clear and concise nature gives them a solid foundation to build their first projects as they build their confidence to move on to more complex carpentry projects and increase their skill level. Advanced and professional woodworkers will appreciate the huge variety of different projects and the time saving value of having a high quality set of plans waiting for virtually any challenge.

Very Useful Bonuses

When you order Teds woodworking package you will also receive these 3 bonuses:
  1. Free drawing and CAD plan viewer
  2. 150 premium woodworking videos
  3. The Complete Woodworking Carpentry Guide

The complete woodworking carpentry guide (a 200 pages guide with carpentry tips and tricks) is very useful for beginners and the premium videos can help any woodworker to hone his carpentry skills.

Surprisingly Organized

With 16,000 plans, you'd expect Teds Woodworking to be pretty disorganized. However I found it pretty easy to find the exact project I wanted.

Money Back Guarantee

The product comes with 60 days money back guarantee and if you are not completely satisfied with what you get, you will receive your money back.

It May Take Time To Download The Package

The size of this download package is not small and if you have slow internet connection it may take you a couple of hours to download all the blueprints.

In this case it may be a good idea to upgrade to the DVD edition (you can do it at the members' area).

May Be A Little Overwhelming At First

Just because there are so many different woodworking projects and plans, the members' area can be a little overwhelming at first. However the plans are organized by category and once you get started, you will find it is not difficult to find what you are looking for.

Overall, there is no doubt that Teds Woodworking is a very comprehensive and detailed woodworking package that comes with a great amount of solutions for any kind of woodworking project you might think of.

There are other great woodworking packages online and some of them are cheaper than this one, but I seriously doubt that you will find any package that is so comprehensive as this one with its thousands of detailed instructions for all kinds of projects, great bonuses and very good customer support.

I hope that you found this Teds Woodworking review to be helpful for you, all the best!
