    16,000 Woodworking Plans from Teds Woodworking: Review

    Posted By on August 18, 2010

    Have you ever wanted to create woodworking projects quickly and easily?

    I came across a comprehensive site with over 16,000 downloadable woodworking plans at: http://www.TedsWoodworking.com

    So what is Ted’s Woodworking?

    With Ted’s Woodworking there are literally thousands of organized woodworking projects in a member’s area and all you have to do is get them off your computer any time you want. There are thousands of plans so decide which one you are going to tackle next. The choice is yours to make so just click on the proper button for the specific project and then they are right there for you to pick one. The diagrams and instructions will be right there in the computer for you to access at any time or if you prefer you can print them out.

    Ted Mcgrath was the originator of this site and is a professional woodworker so he knows what he is talking about. There were so many woodworking plans with this collection and you will not believe how many you get in the one package deal.

    This is really something to find that many all together. For someone like me who is just really starting to get involved with woodworking this was like letting me loose in a candy store and telling me I could have anything I wanted. That was my dream when I was a kid.

    You have to be careful. There are several other sites where the collection of plans have the dimensions totally wrong without any indication of parts lists, material lists or the tools needed. If you’re one of those people who have bought plans like this in the past, TedsWoodworking will change your perception. I was wondering how one person could possibly get that many plans and woodworking blueprints put together but Ted did it.

    Cons

    There is only one drawback that we could find and that being with 16,000 woodworking plans you are bound to get some which look a little disorganized but that is understandable as it is very difficult to place all these plans into their proper categories. Secondly, it might take you a little longer to download them because of the size of them. But the members’ area includes an option to upgrade to the DVD so you can save time on downloading.

    Pros

    Ted’s Woodworking will provide you with clear instructions which are easy to read and understand. The diagrams are easy to follow so that you will not have any trouble getting your project finished. All the directions for the project are written in a manner which will take you step-by-step and you will be able to follow these instructions with not problems at all.

    The inexperienced woodworker and the very experienced person will be able to do these projects without any difficulty as Ted’s Woodworking plans are designed so that anyone will be able to follow the directions and have no problems understanding them.

    Each and every one of the thousands woodworking plans and projects which are available in Ted’s Woodworking are so well written so that even if you’ve never tried Woodworking before, or if you have 2 left hands, you would find woodworking a breeze.

    Is TedsWoodworking Worth the Money?

    An absolute Yes! Each and every day there are reports about people who have actually completed some of the projects included in the Ted’s Woodworking package.

    You can join 3763+ (and counting) other hobbyists, beginners, craftsmen and professionals by letting TedsWoodworking give you the blueprints, plans and step-by-step directions to create stunning, professional woodworking projects, effortlessly and on time.

    Take action now because the offer for this is ENDING very soon. Ted will be selling all the plans and bonus independently in the future for $47-$97 EACH in the weeks and months ahead. Lock yourself in for a deep discount now!

    All There is to Know About Woodworking Jigs

    Posted By on August 13, 2010

    Jigs are essential for woodworking especially for repetitive pieces. When involved in complex projects jigs can make the work a little faster. Jigs can be purchased or made. They are typically very inexpensive however; to save even more money it is a good idea to make your own from scrap wood. A wide variety of jigs is necessary when involved in many different types of projects.

    There are a few different types of jigs. Dovetails are used for making a dovetail joint correctly and accurately. These can be purchased or made from a template. The templates can be found in most stores as well as on the internet. The typical template will allow for twelve different sizes. For this, a router and a saw for dovetails are essential. Dovetail jigs can be used for cabinets, drawers, and boxes. Often bits and templates will come together for a project. This can also save money rather than buying these components separately. The dovetail saw is used to cut dovetails as well as fine joints. The thinner blade on the saw will allow for more accurate cutting.

    Then there is a dowel jig. This is used for making dowels. A self centering woodworking jig should be used when thick timber is the wood of choice. The sizes vary from about a quarter of an inch to about half an inch. Again, kits are available with the dowel jig and hundreds of dowels of different sizes. The kits can even include glue.

    The kreg jig is essential for cabinet making. This allows for drawers to slide flawlessly. They also save time because the drawer slides do not need to be measured and marked. Therefore, the metal drawer slides become easier to install. Although expensive, the equipment is essential for the making of drawers because it makes the process quicker and flawless. The tool can be used for center, bottom, or extension drawers.

    When making your own jigs it is best to use inexpensive wood and materials because they are often not used for more than one project. Expensive wood would be a costly waste. Plywood is often used. However, if the jigs are going to be used for several projects, then it is best to make them from a harder and stronger wood. Instructions for jig making can be located in books, online, and even in magazines. The instructions found on the internet can be printed and then used with ease. It is good practice to keep all of these instructions in a binder or case so they can be used for reference material later on. A hint for this is to use plastic page covers to ensure the instructions are not damaged over time.

    Vince Paxton’s detailed reports are found on a large number of web publications linked to woodwork jigs and woodworking jigs. His contributions on woodworking jigs and jigs for woodworker can be found on his internet pages.

    Teds Woodworking Plans and Woodworking Mistakes!

    Posted By on August 11, 2010

    Have you ever found yourself in the middle of your woodworking project and you realize you’ve just made a mistake by cutting a beautiful piece of wood too small. Sometimes it’s a measuring error or sometimes your plan wasn’t detailed enough and you got something wrong.  I have found myself in that situation on a number of occasions. I had purchased just enough wood to complete the project and now I found myself having to go back to the store buy more.

    Woodworking mistakes are often one of the best ways to learn and a real opportunity to figure out what went wrong but the can be costly too.

    Another annoying blooper I have been guilty of is not getting all the bits I need on my first visit to the store. Having to down tools just when I am getting into my project isn’t good. Having to go back a third time is down right bad.

    I have learnt the benefit of having a good plan before you start like those you can find online at Teds Woodworking. With so many woodworking plans choose from it also helps me if I am stuck for ideas.

    A couple of other strategies that I find crucial when starting a woodworking project is to have a tidy organized workspace to build in. This definitely helps me focus on the planning and preparation which I found has a huge impact on the final product. It also saves frustration you can experience when searching for that tool you just happened to put down a minute ago and now you can’t find it anywhere.

    Woodworking tends to be a messy business with lots of dust getting into everything so if you are hobbyist like me and have to share your work space with cars, washing machines or other activities and it’s a confined space, then you really need to have a plan for controlling that mess. When you are using power tools drop cloths and plastic sheeting are great. I take them outside when I have finished and shake the dust out.

    Noise can also be an issue if you’re working in your own home with power tools. If you’re in a basement you might want to think about some kind of sound insulation like a drop ceiling. Another way to lessen this for each project could be to do all your machine work in one go and if you are working in the evening doing it early might keep the neighbors happier. Again it is all down to little planning.

    Teds Woodworking resource is great to help you with woodworking ideas and planning. I like to do my own ideas sometimes but I have also found a big benefit in having access to woodworking ideas from professionals. By browsing through so many plans (over 16,000) I get great inspiration and I do find I make fewer mistakes which in turn saves me money.
