Woodworking: Making a Plan

[@krystalclark4742]

This is just what I needed. I learned how to draw up furniture plans and floor plans and whatnot a little over 4 years ago but I haven't done it for so long I forgot bits and pieces (had kids mom brain took FULL affect). But this was just the refresher I needed. Its not as specific as what you see for drafting (but I'm sure you've been doing it long enough you don't need that much specification for your personal projects) but its similar enough to jog my memory, thank you!

[@carlkoch6460]

You took the intimidation out of planning projects by making it simple. Well done!

[@erikortiz1418]

@TimTools99 Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to uncover beginner woodworking plans try Jadonite Wood Blueprints Buddy (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my m8 got cool results with it.

[@dorothyviolette9973]

This t.co/SGIXIPXR0z is an amazing book about woodworking. I`m a graduate of a one-year carpentry course from a local tech college. Of all books I`ve read during my study about carpentry, I think this is the finest book I`ve read so far. It explains everything regarding woodworking as well as complements it with helpful photos.?

[@daniresanchez]

Just wonderful, been searching for "diy wood projects free" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Yanathew Wood Waggler - (just google it )? It is a great one off product for building amazing sheds and your own wood work projects minus the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my buddy got great success with it.

[@paulbonaime8047]

I've built many woodworking projects, but have never started with detailed plans on paper. I bought grafting paper a year or so ago, but didn't know how to start drawing plans. Your site is what I've been looking for. Thank you.

[@TimTools99]

I know what you mean about not drawing plans for projects. I often do the same thing and just imagine what it is that I want to build and then start doing it. Most projects benefit by some kind of plan on paper. Using graph paper and drawing to scale is a good way to build a shed or building. I have even used the graph paper to draw an odd shape then transfer the shape to a piece of plywood. I'm glad you found my video useful. Thanks for watching.

[@TimTools99]

Great to hear this Paul. Good luck on your projects.

[@itsmemarkt]

This is gold. Balls to the ipads and tech. Give me a pencil and paper.

[@pantastic94]

I knew I would understand this video when I saw you use the same twist mechanical pencil as I do! Thank you for such a great video 👍 very easy to understand and adapt to my own projects

[@TimTools99]

That's pretty funny! I like those pencils too. Thanks for watching.

Hi Mr. Tim, Thank you for the great tips! We saw bats the last time we visited our new property and we're so excited to build bat houses. I see you've dug a pond, too! That's another project we hope to do. I'll be watching that video next! Thanks for sharing your journey, Mrs. P

This is just superb, I have been researching "knock off wood furniture blog" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Venoffison Wooden Exploration - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my neighbour got cool results with it.

[@metaspencer]

Really nice video -- great to see how you do it and your personal style in the plans. thanks!

[@TimTools99]

Thank you. It's nice to learn from each other.

[@stephennorman176]

Hey Tim, Thanks for the info! keep up the good work Steve

[@TimTools99]

Hello Steve. I'm glad you stopped by and took the time to leave a comment. Thanks for watching.

[@ZalexMusic]

great video, thank you!!

[@ekay10]

This was a really great video. Btw why does anyone need a boathouse? I'm asking

[@simeonbanner6204]

Smart man. I hated mathematics and this kind of thing really spooks me. Studying art you get so used to the intuition, feel that you don't really think so precisely. The houses, barns are incredible. Did you build them? They look stunning.

[@TimTools99]

Thanks for the comment. I am a retired music teacher and enjoy woodworking as a hobby. I enjoy coming up with ideas and then building them. Yes, I built those buildings. Your comment about mathematics sounds like me! My brain just does not work that way ... I'm almost totally "Right Brain" it would seem. I guess carpentry is my way of striving to exercise my left-brain. Ha!

[@simeonbanner6204]

I think you are doing very well. I'd be very scared to invest all the money in materials and contractors to build a barn not being certain everything was correct. I guess you have to check all that and materials and get a second opinion. Do you make like three views of your projects? I can't remember the name: is it isomorphic projection?

[@TimTools99]

Don't know about that. I usually draw up just enough to get the job done.

[@woodworkingplans2780]

Keep up the good work Tim, nice job!

[@TimTools99]

Thanks

[@birdtrujillo8621]

As an amateur with woodworker, I typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement. Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness [Link Here== *TopFineWoodworking. Com* . I now work like a genius. That is great!?

[@christoph8509]

I’ve been struggling a lot trying to understand scale drawings. This was helpful but I still have a lot to learn. I’ll continue to come back to this for months to come, it’s made really well. Would this be a 1:12 ratio? I understood it as each block represents 3 inches because 3x4 equals 12. Four blocks equals a foot or 12 inches or 1/4 of an inch is a block so 4 of those is an inch. So for 1 inch on the drawing it represents 12 inches in real life. Is that correct? Everywhere I look i’m being taught in metric but I only know imperial. I’m open to any help or advice any books or suggestion i’d love to be able to draw out my plans for repeatability.

[@willbephore6178]

Yes that's correct.

[@christoph8509]

@@willbephore6178 Thanks, that’s great to know!

[@willbephore6178]

@@christoph8509 You're welcome, I'm always happy to support folks who want this kind of skill. I unfortunately don't have any books to recommend as everything I know is from experimenting or being shown by skilled workers or elders. If you want to let me know what you're trying to build or map out, I might be able to point you to some good channels on youtube.

Totally adding this to my favorites i know how to do this but at the moment i was trying to do it, it overwelmed me they i tried doing it on the computer it confused me more

[@bondibeast]

Thanks. Super helpful. Got me thinking in the right direction

Glad it helped. Thanks for watching.

Much obliged to you, I am upbeat to buy your shed arrangement [Check Details Here?> *TopFineWoodworking. Com* ]. It has spared from being baffled, something I generally experience with different arrangements previously. I simply cherish the simple regulated strategy you utilize.?

ty tim.

[@mrmrsborofamily1744]

Really awesome video..

[@SethsProject]

I have a question.. You do your plans in exact dimensions (2x6x12 etc.) If I was going to make a project with 2x4's will I have to make measurements for a 1 1/2x3 1/2 since you can't actually buy a true 2x4. Sorry if this is a stupid question... I'm new.

[@TimTools99]

No such thing as a stupid question ... The drawing is a scale drawing for the 'overall size' of your project, not the individual lumber size. So, the drawing gives you an idea of what your project will actually look like (reduced to this tiny scale on paper.) It sounds like you are going to build something with 2x4s. You just represent your 2x4s by drawing sticks on your drawing. The 2x4s are not drawn to scale, just the building. Does this make sense? Lets say you want to build a wall 8 feet long and you are going to frame it with 2x4s. Normally, 2x4s are installed 16 inches on center. So, I would decide on a scale. Let's say- one square equals 8 inches ... that way 2 squares would be 16 inches. Now you can draw your 2x4s on the paper every 2 squares apart. It's no accident that studs are put 16 inches apart on their centers. Go back to our proposed wall size (8 ft long.) If you count out how many 16" there are in 8 feet, this will tell you how many 2x4s you will need in that wall. So, you will need a 2x4 at .... 0, 16, 32, 48, 64, 80 and 96. That's 7- 2x4s for the 8 foot long wall and because you drew it to scale on paper, you can see it. I would be glad to help you with your project if you wish. Let me know what you are doing and I could get you started making a drawing or I would make a video for you. Whatever . I enjoy building and teaching.

[@olsonhubert9764]

Much obliged to the creator of this plan for sharing such awesome work of yours in an extremely moderate expense [Link Here== *TopFineWoodworking. Com* ]. The nature of the work and the materials far surpasses the cost. This is the best offer as such.?

This is by far the best woodworking book I have ever read, *TopFineWoodworking. Com* . My woodworking teacher endorses it to all of his students. I am impressed how authors managed to write very detailed topics. I`m surprised by the material and didn`t have a tough time following the lessons..

I did not plan to make use of this woodworking book, *TopFineWoodworking. Com* but instead curious about it. I had been truly amazed right after trying it. I was seeking to learn more about the art of woodworking, and was not disappointed. I found many topics such as wood types and designing your workshop.

[@dr.barberbarber761]

i want to try!

Go right ahead. Do it!

Well off to a terrible start, due to circumstances outside my control. I never got the scaling lessons in mathematics. Kinda missed that lesson all together
