The Discovery That Changed Woodworking Forever
For over three decades, master woodworker Ted McGrath taught thousands of students in his hands-on workshops. But he kept noticing the same frustrating pattern: eager beginners and even experienced craftspeople would show up with store-bought plans that were incomplete, confusing, and full of errors.
Measurements were off. Critical steps were missing. Cut lists were vague or nonexistent. People were wasting hundreds of dollars on lumber — and countless hours of their time — simply because the plans they trusted were poorly designed.
Ted realized the woodworking world needed a systematic overhaul. So he assembled a dedicated team of craftspeople, drafters, and project testers. Their mission? Create the most comprehensive, meticulously detailed woodworking plan library ever built — one where every single plan is shop-tested, verified, and designed so clearly that the project practically builds itself.
The result is TedsWoodworking: a living, growing collection of over 16,000 plans that eliminates guesswork, reduces material waste, and empowers anyone — regardless of skill level — to create stunning, professional-grade pieces they can be proud of.
