How to Find Free Wood Working Project Plans

If you've already invested money in woodworking tools and supplies, you may not want to spend more buying plans. Free woodworking project plans can help you develop your woodworking skills and prepare you for larger and more difficult projects. Finding them can be as simple as going online or picking up the phone.

Instructions

1. Begin looking for free woodworking project plans online using a search engine. Change the phrases you use and the spelling you use to find free plans that may be described differently. For example, try "free woodworking ideas" or "free wood working education." Check the websites of woodworking supply manufacturers to see if they have free plans available online.

2. Go to the local library and browse the woodworking section for books that include project plans.

3. Call around and ask places that sell woodworking supplies if they offer free classes or plans. Some manufacturers include free project plans with their products. When you are shopping, check and compare before you buy to see if one brand has plans available.

4. Call local high schools or adult education programs to see if they have free project plans available in their woodworking department.

5. Ask fellow woodworkers if they have any project plans they can lend or give you.
