Free Woodworking Web Sites
By Snogard64
I fully understand the copy right problem, so I figured I would try this. This is a list of sites that I have used to collect different wood working plans, with this I should not have a problem and you can find the plan you would like to work on. I know that there is a lot more sites and as I find them I will update my list. as always enjoy and have fun. also these is a peer 2 peer program that I downloaded that I was able to get a lot of woodworking books, it takes time and a good anti-virus but it is a good way to get a library. Download frostwire and type in woodworking and see what comes up.

As a kid, I had a slant top desk but it had plain tapered legs. -

Thanks John, I have no FB account. Just curious about what it was and all. -

Hey Cal, I loaded this pattern up for TJ, he hasn't been around for quite some time, Cal, would you happen to have a facebook account? He has a page there where he goes into detail about the background and infill coloring, if you don't have an FB account, I'll ask him if I can copy paste his content and images here.
