    Hello All,

    My social media feed are wedged with carpentry plan adverts, but I think they all link back to a certain site that I have read is a scam.

    Can anyone recommend a genuine place that has lots of plans so that I can find some inspiration? I don't mind paying a small subscription, doesn't have to be free.

    Any suggestions, thank you

    Here's a link to their Plans Library. I always like to have a look at the type of stuff they're doing and how many would likely interest me. https://www.finewoodworking.com/digital-plans-library?gclid=CjwKCAjwtpGGBhBJEiwAyRZX2trygdsZs8_nqmnBGbXg_oYHvfuMUVCWN2Du1sSdUlRnz33bLVn8khoCRq0QAvD_BwE


    I also see that there's a 14 day free trial available.

    Saw on Skates has decent small projects in return for putting up with him plugging various products.

    Fine Woodworking also has free plans if you search hard enough, and frequently the free articles are detailed enough to actually recreate the item without the plans. Especially if you want to adapt the project to your needs.

    Otherwise if you're handy with Google, you can google the project you want, go to images, find a likely project and go to the site - frequently you will end up in an archive or an article with the plans for free.
