Master woodworker, educator and the author behind this complete woodworking collection.
Over my 25+ years teaching and building, I saw the same barrier over and over: great ideas crippled by poor documentation. I built TedsWoodworking because I wanted to remove the guesswork. This library represents not just plans, but a practical path from idea to finished piece. Each plan in the collection has been drafted, tested and refined by me and hundreds of students and builders — which means you get the benefit of years of real-world adjustments and improvements.
When I first started, I faced these exact challenges — and I’m sure many reading this will relate. The common problems included:
These were my challenges too. In response I created plans that include precise measurements, complete cutting and materials lists, multiple views of each piece, and step-by-step photographs and diagrams. My philosophy is simple: woodworking shouldn’t be frustrating — it should be rewarding. That’s why I include explicit step sequences, safety pointers, and material-saving tips to avoid waste. The goal: craft beautiful, long-lasting pieces while building confidence every step of the way.
“Woodworking shouldn’t be that difficult!” — a guiding line I wrote on a napkin years ago and build every plan around today.
If you want to design, build or repair furniture — or even start a small woodworking business — this collection gives you the dependable guidance you need. With clear, tested plans, you shave weeks off decision-making time, and most importantly, you avoid the costly mistakes that create frustration and wasted materials.
Too many plans and magazine projects assume a baseline they don’t teach. They skip critical steps or expect you to already have advanced tools and techniques. That makes woodworking feel inaccessible, and leaves good people either paying too much for furniture or abandoning projects mid-way. The issue isn’t passion — it’s poor documentation and unclear instructions.
Consider these common downsides found across many free or low-cost plans:
When plans are vague, mistakes happen: boards cut wrong, wasted materials, and time lost. It makes woodworking feel harder than it is. The truth is, with clear blueprints, measured steps and proper materials lists, almost any careful person can create remarkable pieces. The goal is to hand you everything needed so the work becomes about craft, not guesswork.
The solution is simple: provide an organized, comprehensive library with plans that build confidence. TedsWoodworking compiles over 16,000 meticulously drafted plans covering every category from small gifts to full-sized furniture and outdoor structures. Every plan includes multiple views, exploded diagrams, precise measurements, parts lists and cutting lists. Many plans are accompanied by step-by-step photographs and video tutorials. Together, these elements remove ambiguity and let you progress with clarity.
This is not a library of ideas — it is a practical workshop companion. Plans were drafted and refined based on feedback from hundreds of students and builders, and many project files were updated to reflect easier construction techniques and safer joinery options. The result is a living library: you get lifetime access plus free monthly updates. You’ll also be able to request custom plans for unique projects, meaning you can tailor designs to your space and taste.
Whether you’re building a bench, a dining table, a play set, or a business line of crafted goods, these plans are built to guide you end-to-end. The collection’s sheer depth means you rarely need to start from scratch: adapt an existing plan, combine elements, or follow a plan exactly to achieve professional results.
Each plan gives you a clear, ordered list of steps so you always know what to do next. Photographs, diagrams, and written notes make assembly straightforward. For beginners this removes the intimidation factor; for experienced builders it speeds up project completion and reduces mistakes.
Every plan includes a complete materials list and exact cutting diagram so you buy and cut only what you need. This saves you money, prevents waste, and helps with planning, whether you’re shopping for lumber or preparing a cut list for the shop.
Clean, dimensioned schematics make measuring and cutting simple. Exploded views and labeled parts remove ambiguity and ensure you assemble pieces in the correct order.
Plans include front, top, side and exploded views. Many projects offer variations — different heights, finishes or joinery — so you can tailor builds to your space.
Whether you are just getting started or you’ve been building for years, plans are tiered in complexity and include optional video tutorials for tricky steps. This library scales with you — as you grow, new projects keep you challenged and excited.
Ted’s work has been recognized by woodworking publications and media outlets for offering practical, quality plans that translate into real results. American Woodworker Magazine praised the clarity and utility of these plans, noting they are “a practical resource for builders who want professional results without expensive training.” This recognition reflects the careful drafting, testing and continuous improvement that goes into the library.
The collection grows with you. Every month new plans are added at no extra cost, and you can request custom plans for specific needs. Need a storage bench that fits a 42″ space or a toy chest sized for a particular room? Submit a request and receive a tailored plan. Lifetime access ensures you receive these updates automatically — no recurring fees, no surprise billing.
