Massive Woodworking Library Turns Amateurs Into Pro Builders

After 20 years of building and teaching woodworking, master craftsman Ted McGrath noticed a pattern. The men who struggled weren't lacking ability, they were working from plans that left out critical steps, skipped exact measurements, and assumed skills most people simply don't have yet.

So he did something no one in the craft had done before: he built a single, organized library of over 16,000 complete, step-by-step woodworking plans, each one designed so that any man can follow it from start to finish and end up with something built right.

Thousands of men are already using these plans, some picking up tools for the first time, others returning to a hobby they'd put aside for years. The result is the same: projects that get finished, craftsmanship that gets noticed, and a quiet confidence that comes from knowing you built it yourself.

Common Questions

Do I need woodworking experience to use these plans?

Not at all. The plans are designed to work for complete beginners as well as experienced woodworkers. Every plan includes a difficulty rating and estimated time to complete, so you can choose projects that match exactly where you are right now.

What makes these plans different from free plans I can find online?

Most free plans online are incomplete, missing steps, inaccurate measurements, or written assuming you already have advanced skills. These plans include exact material and cut lists, step-by-step instructions, 3D diagrams, and photos or video for every project. Nothing is left to guesswork.

How many projects are actually included?

Over 16,000 plans covering every type of project imaginable — from large furniture and outdoor builds to small crafts, toys, and everything in between. New plans are also added monthly and available to download at no extra cost.

Do I need an expensive workshop or professional tools?

No. The plans are built around what regular people actually have access to. You don't need a professional workshop or high-end tools to get started, the whole point is that anyone can follow these plans and build something they're proud of.

What if I can't find the plan I'm looking for?

With over 16,000 plans in the library, that's unlikely. The short video explains exactly what's included and how to find what you need quickly.

How quickly can I get started?

Access is instant. Once you watch the short video and decide it's right for you, you can be browsing plans and choosing your first project within minutes.

What if I don't have space for a workshop?

You don't need a large space to get started. Ted himself started out in a 7x8 workshop, and many of his best pieces came from that shop. Many of the plans don't require professional machinery or even a router — and there are plans for small mobile workbenches you can build right away.

Can I sell the projects I make using these plans?

Absolutely. You can sell anything you build using the plans. Many people who've used this collection have gone on to build a solid side income selling the projects they make.
