What is Ted's Woodworking?
Ted's Woodworking is an online library of woodworking plans created by Ted McGrath, who presents himself as a woodworker and workshop teacher with decades of experience. It has been sold on the ClickBank platform for many years. You pay once and get access to a members area where you can search and download plans.
The seller says the library has more than 16,000 plans across 100+ categories, from small crafts and toys to furniture, sheds, outdoor projects and workshop jigs, with new plans added every month.
What's inside
- The plan library: step-by-step instructions, drawings, materials lists and cutting lists, searchable by keyword, category and difficulty.
- Monthly new plans added to the members area at no extra cost for lifetime members.
- One custom plan request: you can ask the team to draft a plan for a project you can't find.
- Bonus 1, DWG/CAD plan viewer: software to open and adjust plan files.
- Bonus 2, 150 woodworking videos on techniques and joinery.
- Bonus 3, a guide to starting a small woodworking business.
- Bonus 4, the Complete Woodworking Guides, about 200 pages of general advice.
- Physical copies: the seller mentions an option to have the material shipped to you; check the order page for any extra cost.
The seller says most plans need only basic tools (a saw, a drill, clamps and a sander) and that many are designed for small shops, which suits a garage or a corner of the basement.

The catch
Three things to keep in mind. First, the sales page uses pressure: a countdown-style "this may end in 2 days" line and big "total value" figures. Take your time; the refund window gives you 60 days to decide anyway. Second, 16,000 is a lot of plans, and quality and drawing style can vary across a library that large; the search and difficulty filters are what make it usable. Third, the page shows customer stories about selling projects for profit. Those are individual stories, not typical results, and you should not buy it expecting income.
Pros and cons
What we like
- Huge range of projects for every skill level.
- Cut lists and materials lists save trips to the lumber yard.
- One-time price is low compared with buying single plans.
- 60-day refund window.
- Videos and guides help returning woodworkers refresh their skills.
Keep in mind
- Pushy sales page with countdown language.
- The one-time price may be replaced by a monthly fee.
- Quality can vary in a library this big.
- Digital first; check the cost of shipped copies before ordering.
Shop safety after 50
A good plan is only half of a safe project. Always use the blade guard and a push stick on the table saw, wear eye and hearing protection, and use a dust mask or dust collection when sanding. Good lighting matters more as our eyes age, so add a bright task light over the bench. Keep blades sharp, never reach over a spinning blade, and stop when you are tired; most accidents happen at the end of a long session. If you take blood thinners, ask your doctor about extra precautions with sharp tools.
Frequently asked questions
Is it a download or a physical book?
It is a digital members area. You can download and print the plans you need, and the seller mentions an option to have copies shipped; check the order page for any extra cost.
Do I need a big workshop?
No. The seller says most plans need only basic tools and that many are designed for small spaces.
Is there a free sample?
The seller offers a free set of 50 sample plans by email on its site, which is a good way to judge the drawing style before buying.
How do refunds work?
The seller offers a 60-day money-back guarantee. Keep your ClickBank receipt; refunds can be requested through ClickBank's customer support.
Our verdict
Ted's Woodworking is a large, practical plan library at a one-time price that pays for itself if you build more than a few projects. It is a good fit for retirees and hobbyists who want a steady stream of ideas with measurements and cut lists ready to go. Ignore the countdown, check that you are buying the one-time option, and use the 60-day window to make sure the plans suit your style.
