Sometimes, when you don’t feel like overthinking but still want to be in the workshop building something, the easiest thing to do is find a plan and get to work. At FreeWoodworkingPlan, we have hundreds of plans to choose from. The site is a directory with categories arranged alphabetically. Each time we open a category, a list of plans appears, usually with a thumbnail photo to give us an idea.
Actually, the plans are not hosted on that site; instead, each time we click on one, it takes us to the website where the FreeWoodworkingPlan team found them.
Sometimes they are very detailed, and other times we just see how to build something without having the plans or measurements. The worst part is that if there are measurements, they are usually in inches, and the explanations are in English, although I admit it’s a good way to practice English. For now, I’ve bought one of those tape measures that come in meters and feet.
And if you don’t understand English, at least it’s a good place to get ideas since there are always photos or diagrams of the projects. And even if the projects you find don’t convince you, it’s interesting to look at the photos to learn some woodworking techniques you might not know.
However, the site is not the prettiest in the world, but it’s worth bookmarking.
On this very woodworking and DIY blog, you can also find some plans, but you know I try to make my woodworking projects, including some furniture I’ve made, without too many plans.
