You Know That Gorgeous Built-In Look Everyone’s Obsessing Over?
The one that makes every room look custom-designed and costs approximately one million dollars when you get quotes from contractors? Yeah, that one. What if you could create that same elevated, personalized vibe in your space – but actually afford it?
Enter TedsWoodworking: your new favorite resource for turning those saved inspiration photos into real pieces in your home.
What Makes TedsWoodworking Different?
You’ve probably tried following online DIY tutorials before. You know how it goes – the instructions skip crucial steps, the measurements don’t add up, and somehow your “simple weekend project” turns into a month-long saga that ends with a wonky shelf.
Ted McGrath, a certified master woodworker with 25+ years of experience, created this collection of 16,000+ plans because he saw how frustrating those vague instructions were for everyone trying to create beautiful pieces for their homes.
Here’s What You Actually Get:
Think of it as having a patient woodworking mentor who:
- Walks you through every single step (no mysterious gaps where you’re supposed to “figure it out”)
- Gives you exact shopping lists with measurements (goodbye, awkward Home Depot guessing games)
- Shows you clear photos from every angle before you even start
- Includes cut sheets so you know exactly what size everything needs to be
Perfect for Your Real Life
You don’t need a fancy workshop or a garage full of expensive tools. These plans work whether you’re:
- Setting up on your apartment balcony
- Using your dining table as a workspace
- Working with basic hand tools from Target
- Squeezing projects in between everything else on your plate
Projects That Actually Make Sense for Your Life:
- Custom closet organizers that maximize every inch
- Floating shelves that hold your plants AND your books
- A bedside table with exactly the right height and storage
- Garden boxes for that urban farming dream
- Toy storage that looks good in your living room
- Gift-worthy cutting boards and serving trays
- That reading nook shelf situation you’ve been dreaming about
Let’s Be Honest About the Downsides
With 16,000 plans, the download takes time (especially if your WiFi is having feelings). The DVD option skips this issue but means waiting for shipping. And yes, finding the specific plan you want requires using the search function – but browsing often leads to discovering projects you hadn’t even considered.
Your Creative Journey Starts Here
Whether you want to transform your rental into a space that feels truly yours, create meaningful handmade gifts, or explore a potential side business making custom pieces – these plans give you the blueprint (literally) to make it happen.
You’ve been collecting inspiration for long enough. Time to create something real.
P.S. – Every expert started as a beginner. Your first project might not be perfect, but it’ll be yours, made with your own hands. And that feeling? Priceless.
