Quick summary

- Creator: Ted McGrath, a certified master woodworker and member of the AWI.
- Price: $67 one-time payment at the current launch offer, no recurring fees.

Our verdict
TedsWoodworking is a genuinely large plan library at a low one-time price, and the step-by-step format is a real advantage over scattered free plans online. It's a strong pick if you want a big catalog to pull from and don't mind that plan quality and detail vary across 16,000 entries. It's a weaker fit if you need one highly specific, professionally engineered plan for a complex build.
About TedsWoodworking
TedsWoodworking is a digital download package built around a library of roughly 16,000 woodworking plans, created by Ted McGrath, who is credited as a certified master woodworker and instructor. The pitch behind the product is that most free or cheap plans found online and in magazines are incomplete: missing measurements, missing steps, or written for someone who already owns a full professional shop.
The package is positioned as an alternative: plans that are meant to include full step-by-step instructions, materials and cutting lists, and multi-angle schematics, spanning categories from small crafts (birdhouses, cutting boards, signs) to larger furniture and outbuilding projects (sheds, gazebos, cabins).
Beyond the core plans, buyers get
- Lifetime access to new plans released monthly, at no extra cost
- The option to request a custom plan drafted by the team
- A DWG/CAD plan viewer bundled in as a bonus
- An archive of roughly 150 instructional woodworking videos
- A guide on starting a small woodworking business
- An optional physical copy (DVD/USB) shipped for an extra fee

What we liked
- A genuinely large catalog, so it's easy to find a project close to what you want
- Step-by-step format with cutting lists is friendlier to beginners than a lot of free plan sites
- One-time price rather than a recurring subscription
- Monthly plan additions are included for life, not sold separately
- 60-day guarantee gives you a real window to test it before committing
What to know before buying
- With 16,000 plans from many contributors, detail and clarity likely vary between plans
- It's a digital library, not personalized 1:1 coaching — support is via email/forum
- The sales page uses urgency messaging ("offer closes soon") common to launch-style funnels; treat countdowns as marketing, not a hard deadline
- You'll need to supply your own tools, wood and hardware; none of that is included
- Physical DVD/USB shipping is an extra cost, not part of the base $67
Good fit if you…
- Want a large, ready-made plan library instead of designing projects yourself
- Are a beginner or hobbyist working with a small home workshop
- Prefer paying once instead of a monthly woodworking subscription
- Like having many project options to browse and pick from
Probably not for you if you…
- Need one highly specialized, engineer-grade plan for a complex commercial build
- Expect hands-on, in-person instruction rather than downloadable plans
- Are put off by sales pages that use countdown-style urgency and repeated CTAs
