So you’re looking for woodworking project plans and you’re probably realizing that there are a lot of individual plans out there being sold for $10 or more.  But, what if you’re not sure what you want to build yet?

Woodworking plan collections are exactly what you need.  These collections feature hundreds, sometimes thousands, of step-by-step woodworking plans for furniture, storage sheds, pergolas, etc., with pictures and diagrams.

Why should you care?

1. It’s economical.  Individual plans can cost over $10 each, so when you consider a collection that has 10,000 plans, you’re getting a value of $100,000 in plans.  That sounds ridiculous, but guess what, no matter what, you’re getting a lot of plans for pennies on the dollar.
2. It’s a great investment – you don’t have to decide what to build now. With thousands of plans, you’ll probably have plans for anything you might want to build, depending on what your needs at the time.  Think of it as a having a library of plans at your fingertips.
3. The collections include general tips and guides. Whether you’re  a beginner or expert, these collections often include articles on techniques/tips.  So, you’re getting plans and a reference guide!

So where do you get these collections?  Here are some options:
