What type of things are you building or wanting to build? It wasn’t very long ago I was a beginner too (not that I am much farther beyond that point now) and I learned alot building things for my shop. I would definately start out simple and make mistakes on things that don’t really matter, like shop furniture. A gun cabinet can be tricky or something you don’t want to learn on the hard way. Personally, I don’t really use plans, I like to design my own things. One thing that has helped me tremendously is a Google Sketchup, it’s a free CAD program that is easy to learn and fun to use. I use it to design alot of my junk I build. One good thing about it though, there is a library full of models that other people have built that are free to download and are probably clearer in some ways than most plans. Check these gun cabinets I just found real quick in the Sketch Up library. http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=42d04caa4440f36cec284b76cb4b0d4&prevstart=0 There are tons of these and they are all free!

I didn’t know about many of the things I do now until I ran upon them here, Sketch Up being one of them. -- Dothan, Alabama Check out my woodworking blog! http://woodworkingtrip.blogspot.com/ Also my Youtube Channel's Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/SailingAndSuch |
