It‘s a resource that could make a huge difference for anyone who’s put off a project because they felt intimidated or weren’t sure they could finish it. The site offers hyper-detailed, full-color plans meant to eliminate any chance of misunderstanding, even for beginners. These are the issues Master Woodworker Ted Mcgrath wanted to answer when he founded. Just like a poorly written recipe will lead to culinary disappointment, blueprints that lack clarity, often written by experts assuming prior knowledge on the part of their readers, can often lead non-professionals astray. Beginners might even conclude they lack “talent” or that they need a big, fully-equipped workshop like the pros. While innovating can be fun, no one wants to waste time or wind up with a finished product that doesn’t quite match what we imagined. At the same time, we can find ourselves frustrated when we have to work without adequate plans, even after searching through books, magazines, and online videos.

Many of us have years of woodworking experience, aided by guidance from our parents and elders. When it comes to achieving self-reliance, there’s no more valuable skill than building with wood.
