2020, Ted’s Woodworking Plans Review
Woodworking is becoming more and more popular these days. People are starting to realize that working with their hands and creating functional products they could use is a very satisfying endeavor. It’s a productive hobby that helps to relieve stress. If you’re skilled, you can even sell your handiwork and make a healthy side income. That said, one of the biggest obstacles to woodworking is finding plans that you can use. Most plans either lack detail or require too much work/experience to create the product… or there’s not much variety to choose from. Over the past few years, one woodworking guide has become a bestseller with thousands of copies sold every single year. Created by an expert woodworker, Ted McGrath has put together a collection of plans that’s so huge and has so much variety that it has to be seen to be believed. It has just every plan you could think of. With tons of satisfied customers, there’s no arguing about the quality of the product… but let’s look at it in greater detail.

Let's look at the magnitude of the pallet situation. Each year a large number of new wood pallets are manufactured using approximately 40 percent of the hardwood lumber and cants produced in the US (4.5 billion board feet in 1995) and less significant portions of softwood lumber ...

Wood and tools. They bring to mind the cabinetmaker’s factory, boat builder’s jigs, the residential construction site, concrete forms and the amateur’s workshop. Each is at the end of conception, where already set ideas become reality. Mostly what is made are the ideas of others-the hand holding the tool is not that of the designer. The history of design would appear to force such a separation between design and its realization. Modern artifacts are complex and demand specialized knowledge and machines for their production. It is easy, or at least expedient, for designers to leave tools and materials to others. Sadly, the common view that designers are ungrounded in practical reality may be simple historical necessity. This book is a bridge. Its contributors, designers all, show how new tools can span the historical gap between thought and hand, between idea and materiality. Contemporary computer-aided design systems and digital fabrication machines allow us to bend the process of design in on itself, to connect its start and finish. Both computation and physical machines are tools for developing the substance of design. Computational tools enliven the sketch. Once modeled inside a computer, a sketch becomes plastic. We develop, refine and adapt it to context. We create alternative sketches in the hundreds. Digital fabrication makes these sketches physical, as models, prototypes and built form. Th e loop closes as we use the physical sketch to inform the world of ideas. And the world of ideas changes as we learn the consequences of our design choices.
