What is Ted’s Woodworking

Ted’s Woodworking is a huge digital collection of woodworking plans — 16,000+ projects covering everything from small crafts to large furniture or outdoor structures.

When you buy it, you get:

• Step-by-step instructions with blueprints and schematics for each project. 

• Detailed cutting and materials lists so you know what lumber and supplies you'll need. 

• Multiple views/angles for designs. 

• Monthly new plans added for life (no extra recurring fee).

• Bonuses like video tutorials, guides, and a DWG/CAD plan viewer. 

It’s a one-time purchase (currently advertised at $67), not a subscription. There is also a 60-day money-back guarantee. 

Pros

1. Huge variety – With 16,000 plans, there's almost certainly something you’ll find useful, whether you’re into small decorative pieces, furniture, sheds, etc.

2. Good value – For woodworkers who build several projects, the per project cost is low. The included extras add more value if you use them.

3. Beginner friendly (if what they claim holds up) – The step-by-step instructions, materials lists, and schematics should help reduce guesswork. If those are clear, that’s very helpful for people without a lot of experience.

4. Lifetime access and updates – Once you buy it, you continue to get new plans every month, so it isn’t static.

Cons / Caveats

1. Quality consistency – When you have that many plans, it’s very unlikely that all are equally good. Some may be extremely detailed; others may fall short in clarity or in suitability for your tools or skill level.

2. Tool & space requirements – Some plans will inevitably require different tools, materials, or space. Even though they say many projects don’t need expensive machinery, to build complex furniture or large builds one still needs tools, materials, workshop setup, etc.

3. Overwhelming catalog – For someone just wanting a few projects, the sheer size can be overwhelming. Also, locating – among 16,000 options – exactly what you want can take time unless the search/filter tools are good.

4. Digital format limitations – If you prefer printed plans, you’ll likely need to print them yourself or pay extra for physical formats. Also, visualizing some projects from blueprints/schematics requires some spatial woodworking understanding.

5. Seller’s marketing – The sales page uses urgency (“limited-time offer”, “price may go up”) and heavy bonus framing. That doesn’t invalidate the product, but it means you should assess based on what you actually need.

Who It’s Best For

• Hobby woodworkers who build multiple projects and want a large library of ideas/plans.

• Beginners who prefer guided plans with diagrams, assuming the layout is clear as advertised.

• People on a budget who want many plan options for one low price rather than buying separate plans.

Who Might Not Benefit

• Someone who only ever builds one or two types of projects and doesn’t need thousands of plans.

• Those who need ultra-professional detailed blueprints (e.g. for business contracts) might prefer plans from architectural/engineering sources.

• People who want physical shop plans shipped, or heavily rely on pictures rather than schematic drawings and can’t interpret technical drawings.

Final Thoughts

If you like the idea of having a huge prescriptive library of woodworking plans, and want lots of variety without recurring fees, Ted’s Woodworking looks like one of the better offers out there — especially for $67, with a 60-day guarantee.

It’s not perfect, especially if you want just a few very high-end plans or need help interpreting plans. But for many hobbyists it could be more than worth it.
