Over the years I have gathered, and used, an enormous collection of woodworking books and woodworking plans covering just about everything you could think of to make things from wood. To read and study them all would take about 10 years. But what we’re interested in here is hand woodworking. I’m sure you don’t really want to learn about the building and construction industry, so I’ve whittled it down (pardon the pun!) to the very best of my collection.

Ok, there’s one person who I have enormous respect for when it comes to keeping things simple, and easy to follow, in woodworking design. His name is John Metz and he’s written articles for most (if not all) of the magazines relating to woodworking. His plans are always my first choice when starting a new project and I can’t thank him enough. So, I’m going to suggest that you get his collection of woodworking plans.
They are downloadable straight from his website and there are thousands of them. And they have step-by-step instructions with diagrams and photos. There’s nothing else like them in the market today.
The only downside (if I can call it that) to John’s projects is that there are so many, easy to follow, instructions and diagrams that it’s tough to choose what to make first! When I first looked at his material, I couldn’t wait to get started and try it out. Everything from coaster plans and craft plans to gazebo plans and wishing well plans. And every kind of DIY woodworking you can think of (you should see out dog house!)
Well that’s about it. Head over to John’s website now (you can click here) and take a look at what he’s offering you. I promise you won’t find better material anywhere.
Most of all, enjoy your woodworking,
Bill
