Workbench Plans - Design Your Own

You'll find plenty of workbench plans on the Web - but be careful. Some are specifically designed for the art of woodworking, not fixing your mower. How to tell the difference? A woodworking bench is usually made from expensive hardwoods and requires tools like wood planers, router tables. A simple garage bench goes together with 2x4s and a circular saw.

Router Table Plans

Take an inside look at router table plans and see which parts you should buy - and which parts are easy enough to build in your own shop.

Bookcase Plans - Design Your Own

A bookcase is a perfect first-time project for learning how to work with wood. But beware - most bookcase plans are too complicated for DIY newbies. The good news is that once you understand the basics of how the joinery works, a bookcase or bookshelf project can go together surprisingly quick and easy.

Sawhorse Plans

Easy to build sawhorse plans are perfect for the basement or garage workshop.

Pergola Plans

With a quick search on the Web, you'll find everything from really complex to really simple pergola plans for your home. By far, the easiest style to build is the pergola attached to a house or deck. This lets you avoid the work of installing concrete footings and supports - a necessary component if you're wanting to build a free-standing pergola out in the backyard.

Playhouse Plans

This is a nice project for building something that the kids will love. Heck, they can even help with playhouse plans like these. If this is the first time you've tried building an outdoor project of this size - you might be surprised at all the construction techniques you'll learn in the process. Much of a playhouse's construction is similar to a real house - just smaller.

1/10 Scale Wood

Build it small first - and avoid big mistakes later! Miniature scale wood lumber is perfect for planning and practicing your next wood project. Made from high-quality basswood and Finland birch plywood. Includes free scale ruler.
