Stephane Bourque I bought the Tudor bench plans from http://www.americanfurnituredsgn.com/ I bought one each from U-Bild and Yankee workshop. Everything else came from a pencil and paper from my own ideas. Made a garden bench from plans in Wood Magazine. Rather than re-invent the wheel, I'm willing to buy a set of plans if I see something I want. OTOH, if I don't see it, I draw it and build it. You can see some of the items from plans as well as my own ideas on my web page. -- Ed http://pages.cthome.net/edhome/ |

I am sometimes looking for some plans for woodworking. I would like to know what is your favorite place. Plans? Plans? Don' need no steenkin' plans. If you don't want to make up your own, google is the place you wanna be. Loads of free plans. Or so I've heard. You left out all the pertinent details, like what you want to make, and so on. Lacking all the important stuff, I took it upon myself to find a plan for you. Enjoy. http://jas.familyfun.go.com/crafts?p...&craftid=10118 JOAT Blessed are the flexible; for they shall never be bent out of shape. - Unknown |

Woodcraft, Rockler, Grizzly, local woodworker supply stores, etc.
However, as otheres have suggested, if you see a piece that you like, look it over, take photos and work up your own drawings and working sketches. RonB |

Plans have advantages. I want to make a small pair of gates for the stairs on my deck. Some years ago I put them together hastily and they lasted, but it is time for something much better. So far, I've decided to use pressure treated and stain (like the rest of the deck), Spanish cedar, mahogany, or Ipe. They will have either spindles, square pillars or some sort of geometrical pattern. The tops may or may not be square as I'm thinking I can do a nice curve just as easily. So far, I've put about an hour of thinking into this. If I had plans, I could have just put my brain into "coast" and had them done by now. -- Ed http://pages.cthome.net/edhome/ |
