So, What is Woodworking4Home?

Woodworking4home is a collection of over 14,000 woodworking projects designed for the home. In this review, I will tell you more about what I have found inside woodworking4home package.

The good news first:

The first redeeming and reassuring feature related to the product is that John Metz, the owner of woodworking4home is a dedicated, sincere and experienced professional.

As can be expected from Metz’s kind of professional caliber, he has indeed walked that extra mile to compile every kind of information which can simplify the task of the user. These include drawing clear diagrams accompanied by accurate and precise dimensions and every design being backed up by detailed explanations. This almost made every woodworking plan as easy as a walk in the park!

To me, this was of great significance since all the woodworking plans that I have come across the internet are usually created shoddily, leaving a lot to the imagination of the user. While some offer accurate dimensions, some may lack information about the tools needed during the woodworking process. Some provide excellent diagrams but sorry, there are no step-by-step instructions to enable the user to follow the diagram! I suppose you can understand my delight at finding this product from woodworking4home, especially, if you too have burnt a couple of fingers like me, trying to work with some horrible plans in the past.

Fortunately, such shoddiness of presentation and half-measures in terms of information sharing were completely absent in woodworking4home.
I feel that there are four primary reasons which make this product perhaps the best in the market. They are essentially the important areas which woodworking4home has efficiently covered.

These include:

• Every woodwork design is complete and well-prepared in terms of all the materials needed to make it.
• Every design is accompanied by a fully detailed diagram (pictorial drawing) using the most accurate set of dimensions. There is nothing left to doubt.
• Every plan is backed by step by step instructions beginning from scratch to finish.
• Every plan is backed by the requisite woodworking tools.

No matter whether you are a novice or an experienced hand in woodworking, when you have such detailed and accurate instructions to back your efforts, chances are that you can never go wrong.

There are plenty of other reasons why I simply fell in love with this product:

• All the plans are uncomplicated, user-friendly and detailed. The creators of these plans do not take your woodworking knowledge for granted. Even a newbie can become a skilled expert if he just follows the simple instructions.
• There are plenty of videos included in the video bonus section which can guide you and coach you with some hands-on skills on how to build home furniture, benches, bird feeder, dog houses, sheds and so on. The best part is that these guys are in the process of constantly adding value to the video section by adding newer videos for making things easier for the user. And all this, at no extra cost!
• The last but never the least important point I wish to mention is that these guys offer excellent customer support. Whatever queries you may have, you just have to pop it to them and one of them would surely get back to you within minutes to an hour. This service is something that is becoming rarer every day.

And now for some bad news:

While I fully understand the problem of putting the entire 14000 woodworking plans according to categories, the only problem this creates is that some larger files may take you longer for complete download. The other point is that the members’ area perhaps need a bit of re-organization and made slightly more clutter-free.

The last word

Frankly, it is only once in a while that you chance upon such a deal on the internet. There is perhaps no other woodworking site that sells such massive volume of plans at such discounted prices.

As far as the qualities of the plans are concerned, they are one of the best that I have seen in recent times.

And yes, I nearly missed out on this aspect – the sheer variety of the woodworking plans is truly amazing! In fact, they have actually prepared a few design alternatives for every single woodworking plan. For example, in the bed plan section, they have close to 30 separate sub-categories of under-bed storage, bunk beds, loft beds, cottage style bunk beds, Wilshire-style bed, twin bed, toddler bed…the ideas are endless.

Tell me if you have come across any woodworking plan which is as exhaustive as this one? I recommend that you quickly grab the 50% discount offer today. A day’s delay can cost you money!
