Good Morning all,
Please forgive me if I get carried away asking questions. I tend to do that when I am starting something new. Let me just say I have ALWAYS had a love for woodworking ever since 7th grade wood shop and my first footstool with storage, (which my mother still has in the attic somewhere LOL) I have recently decided to "REALLY" get into. I am looking to make various project for around the house and trailer. I will be starting with adironack furniture and working my way to the house. A couple of pieces I am looking to make would be a rustic/crate ??? coffee table and end tables. I haven't found the exact table I want yet, (haven't had time to do a whole lot of looking either) but my question is are purchased plans better than the free plans? For the outdoor furniture I will probably end up making several pieces, (sister, parents, in laws, etc) so I will want to make templates out of luan or Mica(?)(the brown stuuf like peg board. The other pieces for inside the house will hopefully be a one shot deal. I am finding lots of FREE AND Purchased. Honestly I am not seeing that much difference. BUT maybe I am missing something. So I am bowing to your knowledge and experience.
Thank you
Also If my post are too long please let me know, I just figure the more info YOU have the better you can understand my question IF I am not very clear
Cheers :notworthy:
