Wood Working Projects

woodworking projects

Pros:

Some great woodworking plans:  Obviously if a plan is something you want to build and the plan is detailed enough so that you can complete the project it’s good.
However, some of the projects are old and the plans are poor quality… so bad you’ll probably just ignore them.
On the PLUS side, there are many excellent projects worth building.  For example, the loft bed plan above is excellent (one of many).
Well Organized:  I was relieved after buying Ted’s Woodworking that I didn’t have to sift through thousands of PDF pages.  Instead, Ted at least put some effort into organizing the plans in many categories.  This made finding some decent plans very easy.

In fact, the members’ area is really easy to use and well organized.
Good value for money:  One or two completed projects from this product makes it worth the money.  I have no doubt I’ll get my money’s worth in the long run and I’ve yet to check out every single plan included.  I’ve found enough quality projects that I’m satisfied with the product value given it’s fairly low cost.
Cost:  It’s not very expensive.  Since it’s a digital download, you don’t have to pay for an expensive book, which is fantastic.
Inspiration:  One benefit of there being so many plans is simply by combing through the plans I came up with new project ideas I hadn’t thought of before.

Cons:

Some terrible plans:  Unfortunately some of the plans are terrible which means you have to spend some time filtering through the bad plans.  I would prefer a product with fewer plans with each one be high quality.

Woodworking Videos:  These are a joke.  Fortunately it’s just a bonus so I didn’t care.  I think these weaken the product.  The videos are primarily from YouTube.  Ted simply combed through YouTube looking for woodworking videos and put them in the members’ area.  I checked out a few of the videos and they weren’t worth watching.

Conclusion:

Overall, I’m satisfied.  I found several projects worth doing and the plans were sufficiently detailed that I’d be able to build them.
