I Was Tired of Woodworking Plans That Fall Apart at Step 5. Here’s What I Found in the TedsWoodworking Library.

If you build things on the weekend, you probably know this moment: the plan looked great, you bought the lumber, cleared your Saturday… and somewhere around step 4 or 5 a measurement doesn’t match the drawing, or the instructions jump straight from “cut the side panels” to “attach the face frame.”
That’s the problem TedsWoodworking says it was built to solve. I went through the TedsWoodworking sales page carefully so I could tell you, plainly, what’s actually on offer — and what isn’t.
The real problem: incomplete plans cost you lumber and weekends
- Missing steps. Many free and cheap plans skip the hard part: assembly order, hardware, how to square the piece.
- Measurements that are “close enough.” A small error on paper becomes a joint that won’t close in the shop.
- Vague materials lists. You over-buy, or make a second (and third) trip to the store.
- Hours of searching. Pinterest and random PDFs eat the time you wanted to spend building.
None of that is about talent. It’s usually the plan.
What TedsWoodworking says you get
According to the TedsWoodworking sales page, the package is a members-area library of woodworking plans. Here is what it lists:
- 16,000+ plans across furniture, storage, outdoor projects, sheds and small buildings, workshop jigs and small crafts.
- Each plan is described as including step-by-step instructions, cutting lists, materials lists and schematics.
- A searchable members area: search by keyword, filter by category, sort by difficulty (beginner, intermediate, advanced).
- Many projects are designed around basic tools (the page mentions a table saw, drill, clamps and sander) and small spaces.
- New plans added monthly and the option to request a custom plan inside the members area.
- Bonuses listed: a DWG/CAD plan viewer, a library of woodworking videos, a woodworking guide, and a small-business guide.
- Optional physical copies (USB/DVD) shipped for an extra fee.
At the time of writing, the sales page lists a one-time price of $67 (no monthly fee for that option) and a 60-day money-back guarantee. Payment is processed by ClickBank. Prices and terms can change, so please confirm them on the sales page before you buy.
Who it’s for (and who it’s not for)
Probably a good fit if you…
- build on weekends and want plans with full cut lists
- like browsing lots of project ideas in one place
- work in a garage corner or small shop
- are a beginner who wants step-by-step instructions
Maybe skip it if you…
- only need one specific plan and already have it
- prefer designing everything yourself in CAD
- want hands-on, in-person instruction
- don’t like buying digital products online
The honest downsides
- It’s a big library. 16,000 plans is a lot; you’ll rely on the search and filters to avoid overwhelm.
- It’s digital. Physical copies cost extra.
- The sales page is long and pushy. Take your time, read the guarantee terms, and decide calmly.
- Plans don’t replace skill or safety. You still need to measure twice, use your tools safely, and practice.
My take
If your main frustration is incomplete plans and wasted lumber, a large, searchable library with cut lists and materials lists is exactly the kind of tool that helps. The 60-day guarantee listed on the sales page means you can look inside and decide for yourself.
