Are Your Woodworking Plans Missing Half the Measurements?

You measured twice, cut once, and the plan was still wrong. That's a plan problem, not a you problem.

We went through the TedsWoodworking members area plan by plan — 16,000+ projects with cut lists, materials lists and dimensioned drawings, for one payment.

The problem

Most downloaded woodworking plans fail in the same place

A plan that was drawn but never built costs you lumber, a weekend, and the will to finish.

A plan looks fine on screen. You buy the lumber, start cutting, and three steps in the numbers stop agreeing with each other. A dimension is missing. The materials list is short by two boards. The assembly order skips the one step you actually needed.

That's the failure mode almost every free plan and cheap plan pack shares: it was drawn, but never built. Nobody put a saw to it before publishing.

What you get

What you actually get for $67

Ted 'Woody' McGrath bundles the full plan library, the members area and four bonuses into a single one-time purchase.

  • Every plan is built before it ships

    Ted 'Woody' McGrath's team physically builds and shop-tests each plan, so cut lists, hardware specs and assembly order are verified rather than sketched.

  • Cut lists and measurements included

    Each project comes with a materials list, cutting list and dimensioned drawings — you can buy lumber once and have it fit.

  • Searchable, filterable library

    Search by keyword, browse by category, filter by difficulty. Finding a small chicken coop or a garage shelf takes seconds, not an evening.

  • Beginner to advanced coverage

    Difficulty levels are labelled, so a first-time builder can start on a bookshelf and work up to furniture and outbuildings.

  • One payment, lifetime access

    $67 once. New plans keep arriving monthly and members pay nothing further — the vendor's standard membership is otherwise $39/month.

  • Bonuses that actually get used

    DWG & CAD Plan Viewer, 150 Premium Woodworking Videos, How To Start A Woodworking Business, Complete Woodworking Guides — bundled at no extra cost.

How it works

Search, print the cut list, build it once

Every plan is drafted, physically built and shop-tested before it reaches a member — that is the whole mechanism.

01

Search the library

Type what you want to build. The members area returns matching plans with difficulty and material requirements shown up front.

02

Print the cut list

Each plan opens with a materials list and cutting list. Take it to the lumber yard and buy exactly what the project needs.

03

Follow the tested build order

Steps are sequenced the way the plan was physically built, with dimensioned drawings for each stage — including the joinery details most free plans leave out.

Ted 'Woody' McGrath, master woodworker and author of the TedsWoodworking plan library

Who is behind the plans

Ted 'Woody' McGrath — Master Woodworker, Educator, Trainer, Author, Member of AWI. The vendor states it employs a team of twelve full-time plan designers, releases five new plans every week, and has taught over 4,000 workshop students over 25 years. Those are the vendor's own figures, quoted as published on its website.

The team of twelve full-time plan designers named on the official website

The vendor states the plans are produced by a team of twelve full-time plan designers, with 54,183 satisfied customers and 173,226 projects created — vendor-published figures.

  • “I've evaluated dozens of plan packages for our publication. Most are padded with filler. Ted's plans are consistently detailed — real cut lists, real dimensions, real assembly order. This is the one I recommend to readers who ask.”
    Willie Stark — Chief Editor — Valdosta
  • “Built two Adirondack chairs from the plans and sold them at a craft fair for $175 each. The whole package cost me $67. Do the math.”
    Carol Brewer — Charlotte, NC
  • “I am brand new to this. Bought my first table saw in January. I was worried everything would be over my head. Built a small bookshelf from one of the beginner plans last month. It's not perfect but it's standing and my wife loves it.”
    Tony Russo — Phoenix, AZ
  • “Color pictures, thorough descriptions, every step laid out. Way better than the Pinterest plans I was trying to work from. I'm not an experienced builder and I finished a nightstand on my first try.”
    Wayne Myers — Portland, OR
  • “The members area has a search bar right at the top. Typed 'small chicken coop,' got nine options, picked the small-size one. Had it done by Sunday. My neighbor asked me to build him one too. Charged him $400.”
    Jessica Turner — Houston, TX
  • “Bought the exact lumber on the materials list. Every piece fit. No extra trips to the store. That's never happened to me before with downloaded plans.”
    Oliver Whitfield — Birmingham, UK

Why choose it

Why choose this over free plans

The difference isn't the drawing — it's whether anyone built the thing before publishing the plan.
