‘Tis the Season for Woodworking Plans

f you share my seasonal shop schedule, holiday gift-building is in full swing right now. It is. If you want chessboards, jewelry boxes, treenware or turned projects, we have multiple plans for those items. If you are looking for tables, chairs, bookcases or wall shelves … again, on our website they are legion. And as they are priced from about a buck to only around eight dollars, they won’t shrink your bank account badly. Chances are, if you have a project idea in mind, we’ve got you covered in some fashion from our rich archive of published plans. And as a side benefit, even if you don’t find a plan you want, you can get some great ideas for projects of your own design. So stay busy in your shop, and if you have need for inspiration or even some direction, be sure to check out our online store.
