For most of us, we are constantly searching for plans for a new woodworking project. I have found some great sites that give you free plans for a lot of different projects you can build. Here are 10 projects I have made using these plans. You can do them all with dependable basic tools, but I’d like to have one main power tool for any project—a good bandsaw.
Squirrel Den
The squirrel den was a fairly simple project to complete. The free plans for the squirrel den were very detailed and easy to understand.
Jewelry Box
My wife uses this jewelry box, even though I didn’t get the drawers right. But overall this was a fun project to build, and a jewelry box would make a good gift for some little girl.
Bat Box
I had some difficulty completing this bat box. The Pennsylvania Game Commission posted these plans for a bat box. But after a few mistakes, I did figure it out and got it completed.
Plant Stand
I really enjoyed building this plant stand. This tiered plant stand made a great addition to my home. With these free plans, anyone can accomplish this project.
Kid’s Sailboat
The sailboat was a difficult one to complete because it is very time-consuming. My kids and their friend’s love the finished product.
Child’s Toolbox
The child’s toolbox is a very simple project for you and your child. With these easy plans, you will be sure to achieve hero status in your child’s eyes.
Birdhouse
We all have attempted to make a birdhouse at some point in our lives. With these easy-to-follow plans, you will surely add that little something extra to your yard.
Step Stool
For us tall people this step stool seems kind of pointless, but for my wife, this is a lifesaver. She can reach stuff on the top shelf when I’m gone for the day. This is an easy project that will make your wife happy, which will ultimately make life a little easier for you.
Kids Picnic Table
For any of us with kids this kids picnic table is extremely easy to complete with these simple plans. This is also a good way to make some money selling your kids picnic table.
Dog House
For all of us dog owner’s we know the responsibility of making sure our dog has a place to get out of the heat, or cold while they are outside. I don’t have a lot of money to spend on these outrageously expensive dog house’s offered at the store. So I resorted to building my own dog house. With these easy plans anybody can make a special place for the family friend.
