Finding Plans.

Post by beeg »

Where and HOW do you find woodworking plans? I'm looking for plans for a coaster wagon. To build for the Granddaughter for xmas. I've spent about 3 hours looking on the internet and found ONE at Woodcraft store.

http://www.woodcraft.com/family.aspx?familyid=21062

Also found this one a couple other places.
SS 500(09/1980), DC3300, jointer, bandsaw, belt sander, Strip Sander, drum sanders,molder, dado, biscuit joiner, universal lathe tool rest, Oneway talon chuck, router bits & chucks and a De Walt 735 planer,a #5,#6, block planes. ALL in a 100 square foot shop.

Hi Bob,

Pretty much, you are on the right track: Internet searches do take time, but just think of all the gas money they save. If you do knot mind spending a little time at a book store, they may have something for you. I have found that the local library (ask the librarian) can be a good source of information. The other choice that you have is to design your own...

Here are a few that I found. Some of them are pretty interesting.

I did a search for woodworking plans and got 163,000 possible websites available.

For the fun of it, I typed "www.woodworkingplans.com" and I was sent to a website loaded with plans. Plans that cost, free plans, downloadable plans, etc. There were some plans for wagons and speeder wagons in the kids plans section.

Do a search, and then narrow it down as you go. "children's woodworking plans, wooden wagon plans, etc."

There is a lot to choose from out there.

Try this link to Wood Magazine or go to the magazine web site and look under project plans.

Type that address in again and you'll find YOUR post here. It took about 20 minutes for "THEM" to find it. :)

I'm sorry about the mistake. It should have read:

Hope this helps.

Sorry, but it is a page in the Wood Mag. site that has plans for what they call a stake wagon.
