These shed plans are are for a typical and long lasting yard building. The shed calls for a door at the front and at the back. This is ideal if you have a tractor or ATV that is reverse challenged. The plans call for the shed ti be built on piers so you can build this on a sloping lot or property.
The last outbuilding that I built was done in the control of a garage. The main pieces were built and then brought out to the site. If you are in the middle of winter, this project could be started and then assembled once the better weather hits. This building could be modified for use as a playhouse, pool house, barn, or garden shed. As with most woodworking and construction, once you have the basic building techniques down, there is no limit to what you can build.
Good luck with this great project and don’t forget to subscribe to receive our free plan every day. You can contact us to request a plan for the following day.

These plans are for a wine cabinet that might not be what you think it is when you hear cabinet. I would consider this more of a wine rack, but it doesn’t do the item justice and I wanted to be sure this could be found when you are searching for a wine display cabinet or rack.
One of the great features is that it is designed to hold your bottles and glasses, yet the scale allows for it to be a showpiece. This is an ideal item if you don’t want something built in, but want to give the impression that it is. 
If you are a woodworker and know a wine lover, this is a great gift. Next time you are in their home, sneak some measurements and build a custom cabinet for them.

If you are in the northern part of the US and are knee deep in snow right now, you certainly know what a snowplow can do to a simple mailbox that is mounted on a 4 x 4 post. Well, you might already be propping your mail box up. If that is the case, it is time to get to building a new box. This mailbox plan has a nice planter at the base that will look beautiful in the spring and might just hold up to the plow next year.
These plans are from Lowe’s and make for a nice project, since you can pick up all material in one trip to the store.
If you aren’t buried by the snow, this is still a nice mailbox that you will be proud of. Good luck building.

These bird feeder plans are from Plansnow and are especially useful at this time of the year. If you live in the northeast, the ground is probably snow covered and there might not be a lot of food available for the birds.
If you aren’t a bird lover, you don’t have to be. This bird feeder is beautiful. It is a great gift and a fun project. I have to say that it might not weather all that well unless you use quality material and adhesives. I built mine about 10 years ago and it is still around today. The copper roof was a very cool feature and the detailed trim work dresses this up. You would be proud to display this bird feeder inside your home!
If you have a hard time locating the material, check out your local hobby store. Most of what you need is available to the outdoor railroad crowd.

Maybe a cottage plan might not be considered woodworking, but I know that most woodworkers feel the need to build everything themselves (or with a few friends). Because of that, I will often include plans that you might consider “construction” rather than “woodworking”.
This free cottage plan is a printable PDF.
I have been searching for a small cottage for my family. Most of what I have found isn’t something that you would want to use for a retreat. Often times you will find a hunting cabin that doesn’t really suit your needs, or is beyond repair. This free cottage plan is great for those of you who are in a similar situation and have determined that it might just make sense for me to buy the raw land and build what I want. Clean and new is always more pleasing to the spouse.
Good luck with this cottage plan. I am sure that it can be a nice foundation for your retreat! The plan is in Adobe PDF format.

Here is a cigar humidor plan from back in Popular Mechanics from 1999. Much like the dresser valet plans from a few days ago, this is basic box construction. Once you learn the techniques, you will be able to build any number of projects with the skills that you learn.
This cigar humidor is beautiful. The plans call for the use of Mahogany and I would strongly recommend that you use that as your wood selection. Mahogany is a rich looking wood and is the ideal lumber to use for a humidor.
The humidor plans call for a size for approximately 50 cigars. You will need a hygrometer to be sure that your relative humidity is about 70%. You can purchase a hygrometer at Rockler Woodworking.
This is a fun project. Even if you don’t use the case for cigars, this is a great plan to consider. If you are a woodworker who is looking for a project that you can build and sell on Ebay, consider the humidor.
- There is a reasonable market for humidors.
- People aren’t just shopping price with this item. They want something unique and high quality.
- It is an easy item to pack and ship anywhere in the world.
Good luck building your own humidor.
