Woodworking Plans - What Are The Choices??
Saturday, 21 May 2011
What Are The Options When Looking For Good Quality Woodworking Plans?
Woodworking plans are found readily on the net at different price tags as well as in several designs. On a few sites you'll be able to get a full discount package of 1000s of plans for just one price; and you will see other distributors that supply single plans. Free of charge woodworking plans may also be another option you might have discovered but are they of the same quality as paid for plans?

When you check around, you can uncover people providing no cost woodworking plans. Now, really the only query is whether or not there is much difference in complimentary and purchased woodworking plans. Of course, answering this question is not easy. I guess it depends on the quality level you would like with your plans and the kind of design you will be building.

Because complimentary plans are frequently produced by amateurs, they usually are missing out on some important instructions. When you download these plans, you can very often be frustrated with the quality of the product. Comparing them to paid for plans, they frequently have very little instructions and either poor quality graphics or no images whatsoever. For instance, if you purchase plans, you usually receive detailed directions, a materials list and also images or diagrams. These key features will often be missing when using free woodworking plans.

Some people are also advertising woodworking plans as free, but then they turn out not to be free. Such sites have a listing of plans, then send you to a different website that may charge you to download the plan. They’re just the middleman. So finding free woodworking plans might not be as simple as it seems.

Another downside besides quality is selection. If you decide to pay for plans, you can find just about any project that you can imagine. With paid plans you will have a choice of thousands ranging from very simple to very complicated projects. Some sites that sell plans will also have them listed under different skill levels. This may be important to you if you’re a beginner.

So you you know that there are some free woodworking plans available but there are downsides. If you choose to pay for some plans, you will not always have to pay a lot of money. There are tons of plans for under $10 and you can find packages of thousands of different plans for under $50. Consequently, to avoid any potential problems with free woodworking plans, it might be best to spend a little money to start with.

Bought and zero cost woodworking plans both have some good points and downsides. If you have a really small budget then buying plans might take money away from your materials budget. Premium quality plans are usually the best option if you have a little bit of money to spend. It really is your choice, just be sure that you don't use plans that may take away any of the satisfaction you should get from woodworking.
