Short walkthrough of how the 16,000 plans are organized and how you can begin building today.
Get Instant AccessDear fellow woodworker — whether you are just starting in a small garage or you’ve been turning lumber into furniture for years, this message is for you. For more than twenty-five years I have taught students of all levels, helped craftsmen sharpen their skills, and personally handled hundreds of design requests. Along the way I noticed the same obstacles kept coming up: people wanted to make beautiful, practical projects, but the plans they found online were incomplete, overly technical, or assumed years of experience. Woodworking shouldn't be that difficult!
The common challenges I heard daily are familiar: finding good retail items to model, adapting a plan for custom projects, affording quality furniture costs, fear of attempting upcycling, and simply not finding clear, usable project plans. Many people would like to build furniture rather than spend money in stores, but unclear instructions and inadequate diagrams lead to wasted materials and lost time. I decided to collect everything I and my students used over the years and make a single, well-organized resource. The result is a complete, ever-growing library designed to remove doubt and make work enjoyable.
My training and background helped shape this collection: as a Master Woodworker, educator, trainer and author who has worked with professional organizations and the American Woodworking Institute, I focused on clarity and reproducibility. The plans within the collection were drafted with student feedback and refined until they were straightforward to follow. This project began as a promise: provide clear, detailed plans for thousands of projects so builders of any skill level could succeed. That promise is now available to you with a truly unique database of 16,000 plans that include step-by-step instructions, drawings, and practical tips gathered from decades of real teaching experience.
If you've been frustrated by poor diagrams or plans that skip vital steps, you're not alone. I spent years developing paper templates and color schematics when the available resources were not specific enough. That hands-on work paid off — the methods and templates I developed have been used by hundreds of students to finish projects faster and with less waste.
Practical plans, clear diagrams, and real-world guidance from Ted Mcgrath.
The work is practical: step-by-step drawings, templates you can print, and lists of materials and exact cuts so you can shop and build with confidence. I invite you to discover this system — it’s the compilation of decades of hands-on experience and classroom-tested plan formats. If you want to make projects quickly and right the first time, this collection will become your go-to resource.
Get Access NowTedsWoodworking is a digital library offering more than 16,000 detailed woodworking plans that cover everything from small household crafts to large outdoor structures and full-size furniture. Each plan is built with clarity in mind: easy-to-read step-by-step assembly photos and diagrams, exact cutting lists, recommended materials and hardware, and clear schematics that show multiple views and joinery details. The collection is organized so you can search by project type, difficulty, materials, or tools required.
After purchasing access you receive immediate lifetime entry into the member area. Plans are available for download on any device so you can use a tablet in the shop or print templates on a home printer. Plans are suitable for beginners, intermediate builders and advanced woodworkers alike — each item clearly states the skill level and tool requirements. For beginners, many projects can be completed with basic hand tools; for more advanced projects a list of recommended power tools is provided.
Practical features included with the membership:
The system is designed to reduce waste and cost by giving you precise measurements and part layouts. That means you can estimate material needs accurately, avoid unnecessary mistakes, and complete projects more quickly.

Best of all, once you're a member you receive free monthly plan updates without recurring fees.
Unlike fragmented online plans, this collection was developed, tested and refined through real classroom use and feedback. Plans include complete material lists, precise cut diagrams, and color schematics that eliminate guesswork.
