Wood Working Plans, question
Where can I gain access to wood working plans, at a low cost, to maybe even free? Anyone care to share this knowledge, with me?

Be sure to double check any free plans. I have found dimensional errors in many.

Re: Wood Working Plans, question
Most libraries have books and magazines on woodworking with plans.

Hi Extra! No need to go an extra Mile ( pun intended) 
Absolutely no need to go any farther that the front page of this forum. Just point to "Woodworking Resources" (center of the wide red line at the top of the page) and scroll down to "Project Plans". You will find a whole host of plans.

Re: Wood Working Plans, question
Ask yourself if you really want plans. I've built hundreds of projects, and only one was built from a plan. Making things fit following those plans was the most difficult project I've ever built. Building from ideas in my head is far easier than building from plans on paper or on a computer.
If I build from the "plan" in my head, I just put it together and it fits. If I build from plans on paper, I have to second guess every step on the plans or I end up doing it twice when the plans are off just a little.
