The online digital purchase of the Master Woodworking Plans turned out to be a great disappointment.
Their website advertises in a very deceiving way plenty of wood working plans that in reality are just a collections of outside links to other websites in cyberspace where one has to sift through more ads to finally realize you can buy their plans.
I was very disappointed since the same result can be achieved by searching in any search engine and leave this review so others might be able to research more thoroughly.

you are very right, it always amazes me that you can buy plans for simple items for say 4.99 ” here’s what you get” 6 pages of detailed plans, wow i wonder what their books would cost. its a big rip off. surf the net most of all plans in some shape or form are out there. It would be a nice feature of Jocks is to have a section on readers plans. Im new to woodworking and still plan an build as i go however, i do use more timeber this way but its fun and i dont buy so much firewood these days as i seem to have plenty in the shop . Its the same for books i buy from say Amazon ” workshop jigs etc” most are just a load of photos and not much detailed plans

Hi,
I would like to make it clear that the guy that sells this cd is in no way related to myself, and my woodworking web sites online. The person, and many others doing the same, who is selling these cd’s have ripped off my site’s database information.
Let me explain….you will find that many of the links in these cd’s belong to WoodworkersWorkshop.com or my other site FreeWoodworkingPlan.com Both sites categorize free and pay plans, the latter only free plans. Its our full time work to maintain these links, ensuring they are correct and up to date for woodworkers like yourselves. These scoundrels use the links in their “offering” to make it easier for them.
I’ve tried putting a stop to them but my financial pockets for legal beagles are shallow at best, certainly not deep. The best way to put a stop to it is to get the word out, like reviews like you have posted. It has made me re-think how to deal with this issue. I may have to use some type of re-direct page explaining what is happening when people click on those links.
Woodwork Safely,
Jim Barry

I’ve yet to find a free plans site that doesn’t suck. Sure you can find plans on all the big ones, but honestly, none of them are very good at what they claim to do.
Hopefully Martin will setup a dedicated section on LJ.

Well then, reading the 3 comments my disappointment triggered I do believe, it was a good thing that I opened my mouth.
In the meantime I looked through the CD more thoroughly and there are even dead links.
Naturally there will be dead ones, since a constant update would be necessary to maintain a good site.
I will go out and leave a few more “disgruntled posts” in other boards in order to spread the word.
One good thing though coming out of this is the fact that I found “Lumberjocks”.
Thanks for your comments guys :)
