If you are just starting out in woodworking, it should be fairly obvious that

you would want to work with woodworking plans. Do you realize, though,

that even professional woodworkers use woodworking plans to guide them

to success? Woodworking plans can even help you evolve into a

professional.

The first thing I ever tried to fabricate out of wood, as a youngster of 7 years, was a

soapbox derby racing car. I planned to make it out of wood scraps and metal parts I

found abandoned. I soon found that I had absolutely no idea of how to complete this. I

bent over my nails and hit my thumb with the hammer many times. After a while, I felt

overwhelmed and gave up completely. I could have used some adult instruction and I

certainly could have benefited from a good set of plans.

Occasionally, I would discover well-conceived, well-drawn, step-by-step plans that I

could actually use. They contained not only well-designed, easy-to-follow drawings, they

had clearly-written, detailed instructions as well as a precise inventory of materials

needed. I noticed that with this quality of plan, I could not lose.

In the beginning, I would look for plans that I liked and then follow them exactly to

completion. I learned a lot of basic, intermediate and advanced woodcraft abilities from

doing this. As I went on, I would find plans that I felt confident in modifying to my taste,

just a bit, here and there. As time passed and my skills evolved, I started drawing my

own plans, thus giving an outlet to my personal creativity.

Now, I never initiate a project without a plan in hand, whether it be someone else’s plan

or my own. So, I guess what I am suggesting is that the novice woodworker should look

at following someone else’s plans exactly and then, as his or her woodworking skills

develop, go into modifying plans and even drawing your own plans.

I was going to say “Good Luck” to you but following these expertly-crafted plans has

nothing to do with luck or skill. All you need to know how to do is follow simple, clearly

written instructions. So, instead , I’ll just close with “Have Fun” and “Be Proud” of the

final result!
