After three weeks testing the entire Ted's Woodworking collection, here's what we found. The good, the not-so-good, and whether it deserves a spot on your workbench.
Not vague sketches. Not half-finished diagrams. Real, professional-grade plans you can actually build from.
I've been doing carpentry for nearly 36 years, and I haven't come across anything quite like this for less than thousands of pounds.
From simple weekend projects to ambitious workshop upgrades — here's a small sample.
Here's the balanced view — what we loved, and what could be better.
Built my first garden bench last weekend. The instructions were so clear my teenage son could follow along. Couldn't be happier.
Twenty years of DIY and this is genuinely the best plan collection I've come across. The cut lists alone save me a fortune in wasted timber.
I was sceptical at first — how could one collection have that many plans? But the quality is genuinely there. Detailed, full-colour, easy to follow.
Wanted to build bunk beds for my kids. Found the plan in minutes, had them built in a weekend. The kids absolutely love them.
Not at all. The collection is designed for all skill levels. There are hundreds of beginner-friendly projects with simple, clear instructions. You'll have your first build done by the weekend.
With over 16,000 plans across dozens of categories — from birdhouses to full-size sheds, indoor furniture to outdoor decks — finding what you want isn't really the problem. Choosing what to build first is.
No. Many plans are designed to be completed with basic hand tools you probably already own. Power tools speed things up but aren't required for most beginner and intermediate projects.
Yes. You pay once and have ongoing access to the full collection, including all new plans added every month. There's no recurring subscription.
There's a 60-day, no-questions-asked money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied for any reason, you get a full refund. The risk really is on Ted's side, not yours.
