Woodworking made simple!  16,000 times over.  I found a website that does just that,
Ted's woodworking.

I have found through the years that finding a new woodworking project can sometimes be harder to find to do.  Then the actual building of the project itself.  I used to spend hours and hours poring over all my old woodworking magazines and books looking for something different to do.  But there was no organization just leafing through page after page and just getting frustrated.  Ted's woodworking solve all that for me.  Now all I do is go to my computer sign on, pick a category and picked the woodworking plans.  I want to download to my computer, takes seconds. 

Through the years I've ordered a number of woodworking plans from different sources and some were so hard to understand that they just went in the trash bin.  That is definitely not the case with Ted's woodworking plans The plans come with a complete and accurate materials lists with detailed instructions on how to get from start to finish on your project without pulling out all of your hair.

Another impressive thing is that there are for all skill levels.  So there's something for everyone.

Due to Ted's detailed material list.  I have saved enough money on my last three projects in wood cost alone to pay for my membership.  But it was always first free because of Ted's 60 day full money back guarantee so if it's not for you.  You can return it for a full refund.

7 Questions You Need To Know Before Using Shed Plans
For the novice builder it is very important that you have everything in place before you start any project. Of course the best way to do this is to have a action plan. So you have decided, you want to build a shed using a set of plans. Then first we need to put your action plan into place, and start by listing a series of questions you will need answered before you even begin construction.
1.What do you really need the shed for?
To start with you may be thinking its going to be used to store just the garden equipment. Think hard about this. Is it going to end up being a family shed? In other words, are the kids going to want to store their sports equipment in there? Or is the wife going to find a new place for the Christmas decorations, in your shed? So make a hard and fast rule of what the shed will be used for.
2.What size do you want it to be?
Now you know exactly what it is going to be used for, that will give you the size that you are going to want. Don’t forget to plan for the future. If its restricted to garden outdoor items, you will most likely be adding to your collection over the next few years, so you don’t want to have to build a shed all over again.
3.Where are you going to put it?
You need to determine when is the best place for it. It has to be some place accessible, without walking through your flowerbeds. Probably tucked away so it doesn’t interfere with your landscaping. Again think of the future, you don’t want to have to move it.
Now is the area you have allotted for it and the size of the shed you want compatible? If not then there has to be a compromise, either in the space or the size.
4.Does in need to be insulated, waterproof, or open?
If you are in a four season climate then you need to decide what seasons you need the shed to be able to withstand the most.
5. Do you require a building permit?
Know what your local by-laws are for building a shed. It wouldn’t be nice to get your project finished ,and then have city officials come along and tell you to take it down. Normally you won’t need a building permit if you stay within a specific size, but if you have determined to go larger than what’s allowed, you will have to submit building plans for approval.
6.Now one of the most important questions, What is your budget for this project?
Everything you have decided up to now is dependant on your budget. Its kinds of difficult to set a budget when you haven’t determined the cost of materials yet. Its your budget that’s going to help you when it comes time to get your building shed plans.
7.Where should you get your plans for building a shed?
You have lots of answers now. The purpose, the size, the budget, and now to answer the final question. For this you will need to check out what resources are available to you. Your local home hardware and building center, home planners, and of course the internet.
