But this way is not as simple as you think. You may find it hard to look for a plan that is needed by you or you may come up with zilch. The following are a list of obstacles faced by people while searching for woodworking shelf plans online.

The place to save is not on your woodworking plans. You don’t have to spend much to get good plans, but you absolutely must be sure to get high quality plans that will help turn your passion into a lifetime of enjoyment. I bought a set of over 16,000 woodworking plans on line for less than the price of just one of the tools in my shop, and I’ve never had to look for a plan since.

When you do find free woodworking plans, they are often garbage. They may be poorly constructed, not well drawn or they are not to scale. Essentially, they are useless. They may not even match up or give correct measurements. In the end, this could cost you a great deal, especially if you spend money on expensive wood and materials, only to find that you plans are bogus.

To ensure your safety, It is really crucial that you learn as much about the art of working with wood before you begin using heavier tools.

Solid and accurate plans = success = woodworking satisfaction.

Then there is always the internet where are many sites offering to give you the prints and plans for free. This is not necessarily that they are being overly community spirited but more along the lines of first getting you to sample what they have to offer and then based on the assumption you like what you get, you will be confident to purchase other products in the line, further down the line.

What about out of doors projects? Yea, there are woodworker plans for Decks, Patio Furniture, Gazebos, Planter Boxes, and the list goes on. I am assured in exclaiming that there’s literally a plan for any and each type of woodworking project you might think about.
