I Tested 16,000 Woodworking Plans
for 30 Days — Here's the Honest Truth

A certified master woodworker spent 25 years building the world's biggest woodworking blueprint library. I put it to the test for 30 days — from a beginner's first shelf to a full outdoor dining set. Here's everything you need to know before you buy.

Ted's Woodworking — the world's largest blueprint collection. As seen on Bob Vila, Family Handyman, FOX & Homes & Gardens.

Let me be real with you. I've been woodworking for over a decade. I've wasted money on magazines that skipped half the steps, watched YouTube tutorials that assumed I already knew everything, and built projects that warped, wobbled, or just looked embarrassing. Bad plans cost time, money, and confidence.

So when a friend mentioned a collection of 16,000 woodworking plans built by Ted McGrath — a Certified Master Woodworker with 25 years of teaching experience — I was skeptical. Another guru with another overpriced course?

I was completely wrong. I've been building for 30 days straight using these plans, and I need to talk about it.

Why Most Woodworking Plans Are a Complete Waste of Money

Here's what nobody tells you: most woodworking plans — from a $9 magazine or a free download — are missing the one thing that actually matters: complete, honest instructions.

• Missing critical measurements — they assume you can eyeball critical joints
• Instructions skip vital steps — assuming you already know advanced techniques
• Require thousands of dollars in specialty tools most home shops don't have
• Cutting lists are wrong or vague — you waste expensive lumber on avoidable mistakes
• Plans are too complex for beginners with no clear starting point

Ted McGrath watched his own students fight these exact problems for 25 years and finally decided to build the resource the woodworking world desperately needed.

What's Actually Inside Ted's 16,000 Plans

When I got access, I expected quantity over quality. Instead I found something that genuinely changed how I approach every project.

Projects That Genuinely Floored Me

Outdoor Furniture That Lasts

I built an Adirondack chair set from scratch in a single Saturday. The joints were tight, the angles were perfect, and my neighbor offered me $400 for the set before I'd even finished staining it. The exact materials list meant zero wasted lumber.

Indoor Furniture That Looks Store-Bought

My wife has wanted a farmhouse dining table for years. Furniture stores wanted $800–$2,200 for something comparable. I built ours for under $185 in materials — solid white oak, breadboard ends, hand-rubbed finish. Every guest asks where we bought it.

Storage That Actually Fits Your Space

The library covers built-in shelves, garage organizers, garden sheds, and workshop stations — with adjustable dimensions for any room size. You simply cannot find this flexibility anywhere else.

The Verdict: Is $67 Worth It?

Let's run the math. A single set of professional woodworking plans for just one project typically costs $12–$45. Ted's collection gives you 16,000 plans for a one-time $67 — less than half a cent per plan.

If you use it to build one piece of furniture you would have otherwise bought at a store, you'll save hundreds of dollars immediately. This thing pays for itself after your very first project.
