Re: Woodworking made easy...
Dear Fellow Woodworker,
For more than twenty-five years I’ve taught, built, and designed a huge variety of projects for people just like you — people who want beautiful, functional pieces but don’t always have access to clear blueprints or step-by-step instructions. During that time I saw the same frustrations arise again and again: confused measurements, missing cut lists, poorly drawn diagrams, and incomplete schematics. Those missing details add up to wasted time, wasted wood, and often the feeling that a project is beyond your skill level. That’s why I made it my mission to eliminate guesswork and create a library where any woodworker, at any skill level, can find an answer and follow it to completion.
The most common problems I saw were simple and persistent:
- Difficulty finding retail-quality ideas and reliable plans in one place.
- Not having guidance to make custom projects fit a space or match an aesthetic.
- Affording high-quality furniture or tools without overspending on trial-and-error projects.
- Wanting to upcycle old wood but being afraid of making irreversible mistakes.
- Struggling with plans that lack measurable details and clear assembly steps.
I can’t tell you how many times a perfectly good project went sideways because the plan stopped halfway through or left out an important measurement. I heard from hobbyists and pros alike who wanted the same thing: a massive, dependable collection they could trust. That inspired me to spend years drafting, testing, and refining plans with my students and colleagues to create something that truly works in the real world.
"Woodworking shouldn't be that difficult!"
This collection is the result: thousands of carefully drawn plans supported by complete lists, diagrams, and step-by-step instructions. If you’ve ever hesitated because a project looked intimidating, this resource was created to break that barrier down. It’s built so that you can start small, learn, and progress to more advanced builds while saving money and producing professional results.
In the right column you’ll see images of actual projects and membership visuals — everything that represents the craftsmanship and accessibility I’ve worked to achieve. I invite you to explore the collection, watch the short walkthrough video above, and imagine what you could build with reliable plans guiding you every step of the way.
Ted Mcgrath — master woodworker, educator, and founder of this collection — has spent decades teaching and crafting in shops large and small. The plans you get here are not speculative. They are field-tested by students and refined over time. Whether you’re building a simple box or a complex outdoor structure, you’ll find the clarity and detail needed to finish with confidence.

“Here's The BIG Problem...”
Too many woodworking plans are produced quickly and without the level of detail necessary for real-world results. They often assume you already know what to do next, skip critical measurements, or show hand-drawn sketches that lack scale. This results in costly mistakes — wasted materials, wasted weekends, and frustration that makes even passionate hobbyists step away from projects they once dreamed of completing.
When plans are incomplete you must guess at dimensions, piece placement, and joinery. Guessing leads to re-cuts, weakened joints, and projects that don’t fit properly. A poorly planned project can also create safety hazards: misaligned supports or incorrect fastener positions can compromise the structure. For beginners, these pitfalls are overwhelming, and even experienced woodworkers lose time correcting avoidable errors.
Strong plans are the antidote. They need to include not only elevation and plan views but exploded details, cutting lists, materials and fastener suggestions, spacing guides, and finishing notes. The biggest problem is that the market is full of plans that stop too soon — leaving you with half the information and twice the stress. That’s what inspired the creation of a comprehensive resource that leaves nothing to chance.
The result is a system that’s designed to be complete, precise, and beginner-friendly: each plan is authored or reviewed to include dimensions, part lists, cut layout, joinery notes, and sequencing so you can follow along without guessing. That transforms frustration into a smooth, repeatable process where you can make accurate cuts, assemble confidently, and finish professionally.
We believe woodworking should be joyful and productive. The solution we built directly addresses the shortcomings of ordinary plans and gives you the structure needed to create stunning, long-lasting work.
Stop wasting materials and time on incomplete plans. Follow plans that are engineered to finish.
Get Access NowThe Solution
What started as a frustration became an opportunity: a chance to create the world's most comprehensive and practical woodworking library. Over more than 25 years of building and teaching, we assembled, drafted, and refined thousands of plans — each evaluated for clarity, accuracy, and buildability. Those years of experience are packed into a single membership: 16,000 plans that cover everything from simple crafts to full-scale outdoor structures.
Many of these plans were drafted by my students and refined in the workshop. That combination of classroom testing and hands-on building means the plans aren’t just theoretical — they represent what actually works in practice. When we gathered them all together, the problem of missing details disappeared: every project includes the drawings, part lists, and step-by-step sequences needed to complete projects reliably.
The library transforms a fragmented, confusing experience into a dependable system. Instead of searching across books, forums, and scattered PDFs, you get a central place with consistent quality and structured guidance. You’ll find plans for beginner projects to practice essential joinery, and advanced builds that challenge your skills — all with instructions that remove guesswork and help you finish.
This solution is more than plans: it’s a way to build skills, save money, and create items you’ll be proud to use or sell. Lifetime access and monthly updates keep the library fresh and growing, while bonuses like a CAD/DWG viewer, video tutorials, and business guides add real practical value for hobbyists and professionals alike.

Project Size and Scope
The collection intentionally spans all project sizes to meet whatever you want to build. From a small decorative box that takes an afternoon to a multi-day outdoor gazebo or custom furniture set, every plan includes clear time estimates, material lists, and sequencing to help you plan. The diversity is also useful when working within constraints — for example, if you have a small workshop or limited tools, you'll find plans tailored to those situations.
Projects are organized by estimated build time, required tools, and skill level so you can select ones that match your schedule and capabilities. For larger builds, plans break the work down into manageable stages so you aren’t overwhelmed. For smaller projects, the instructions let you finish quickly without sacrificing quality.
This organization ensures that whether you want a quick weekend project or a major statement piece, you’ll have a clear path to completion.
Start BuildingThese figures reflect real results and real people using the plans to build, learn, and sometimes start small woodworking businesses. The combination of a large plan library, practical videos, and lifetime updates has enabled thousands to take on projects they once thought were out of reach.

Plans So Detailed... It Practically Builds Itself!
One of the most powerful parts of this collection is the level of detail provided for every project. Drawings include exact measurements, labeled parts, exploded views, cut lists, fastener sizes, and finishing instructions. This attention to detail removes uncertainty — when you know the exact cut lengths and the order of assembly, the building process becomes incredibly straightforward.
The instructions are written to be read by everyday woodworkers, not technical draftsmen. That means clear language, helpful tips, and recommended tool alternatives so you can adapt a plan to your workshop and budget. If you’re missing a specific tool, many plans include workarounds so you can still complete the build without expensive equipment.
Benefits at a glance:
- Step-by-step sequencing for foolproof assembly.
- Comprehensive cut lists to minimize waste.
- Multi-view schematics so you understand how pieces fit together.
- Estimated build time and difficulty ratings for planning.
