Why Woodworkers Trust Us
Woodwork.net was a surprisingly helpful starting point for me. I’ve tried following random plans online before, but they were always missing something important. The guidance here felt clear and reliable, and it made my projects go a lot smoother.

I’m still fairly new to woodworking, and finding trustworthy instructions has always been the hardest part. Woodwork.net pointed me toward plans that were easy to follow without talking down to beginners. It made the whole process feel much more approachable.

I build furniture as a hobby, and really I appreciate how straightforward this site is. There’s no clutter or confusion, just a simple path to plans that actually work. It’s become one of the few resources I check before starting a new project.

I believe anyone can start woodworking. I’ve got a whole bunch of easy starter plans you can try. It doesn’t take a lot of tools or materials to build a lot of the starter projects. If you can do small steps – cut a board in half, glue pieces…. then it is not that much of a leap to join the boards. Before you know it, you have a completed project. In the end, it is a simple process. It just a series of multiple steps. My plans will guide you through everything. One step at a time.
If that’s the case… this is perfect for you… because you will learn exactly what you need to build a project you’re interested in. So there’s no wasting your money on tools you won’t use. Just buy exactly what I tell you and follow my instructions. Then move onto the next and buy the new tools you need (if any)… Simple and cost effective! Simply get what you need for the projects you want to build at anytime. I’ll also show you ways to get lumber and materials for far less than what you pay retail.
YES. Most of these plans are beginner plans. With the rest being intermediate and some being expert plans. But keep in mind, given the quality of these plans, you might surprise yourself with your ability to quickly expand the projects you can do.
Absolutely. You can sell the projects you build with our plans. Many of my customers went on to make a sizable side income by selling projects they make.
Fact is, you don’t need a large space or expensive tools to build many of the projects. I started off with a 7×8 size workshop and many of my best pieces came from that shop. I’ve included many small mobile workbenches you can build right away as well. Many of my plans do not require professional machinery or even a router.
