The Signs of a Good Woodworking Plan
To successfully complete a woodworking project with flawless results, you need a well constructed plan. Whether you are a professional or a DIY enthusiast, a woodworking project can go terribly wrong and lead to frustration and wasted materials with an inaccurate or hard to follow plan. Here are the elements to look for in a woodworking plan before starting any project.
The signs of a well-designed woodworking plan:
- A preview or sample excerpt of the plan is offered before you have to purchase it.
- There is an indication of skill level of the project.
- It includes a thorough list of what tools will be needed.
- It includes a thorough list of all the necessary materials
- It includes a cutting schedule (which wood is used to cut which pieces)
- There are clear assembly instructions.
- It lists any required hardware (and for newer woodworkers, make sure it suggests where to buy them)
- The plan has a money-back guarantee in the event that you run into issues with the plan
