Woodworking Related Sites

This page has all of the LINKS which I have on this site. There are links to great tool sites, woodworker pages, free plans, plus more - in short, everything in which I thought woodworker hobbyists might be interested. There are also a few MS Links at the end of this list too.

If you're reading this page first, please see the rest of Grampa's Workshop before you move on. Come back and visit often, because this site is updated regularly. Hope you find my links enjoyable and useful, and please link up with me too.

Where are the Plans?

I've asked myself that too, many times. So if your a home hobbyist like me, and want to find some great plans/ideas (LOTS OF GOOD ONES FOR FREE TOO), then you've come to the right place. There are 2 great sections.

Section 1. This Section has free plans and ideas - you can go to the site and get them all FREE online. Some of these are really neat projects - some big, and some small - and you can start making them before your computer cools down. Check out the entire site carefully - they are there.

Section 2. This section is for plans (and parts/accessories) for which you're gonna have to pay, but at least I can say the prices are fair, having bought from them all, and,,,they are sources for plans.

Section 1: Some Free Plans Are Still Available

There are some web sites, which you might not expect would have a few free plans, but they do!
Click on them, and you'll be taken to that site.

Skil Tools
Minwax (changes monthly)
True Value Project of the Week
Gold County Woodworks
Sears/Craftsman
Woodware Designs
Great Site for Free Plans - There's Lots of Great Plans here! Don't Miss This One!
The Woodchuck Canuck's FREE Plans Page"Best Links on the Web to Free Plans"

Section 2: Great Plans & Accessories at Good Prices

The following are some great places for plans, and those little pieces for your projects, that you just can't find anywhere. If I haven't found their address on the web yet, I've shown their "1-800 number". Call and ask for their usually free mail order catalogue. No matter how far away they are from you, your goods arrive in a few days, most with a "no questions asked, money back guarantee" - and sometimes with free shipping to destinations in Canada. These places are all fine organizations with great customer service in the USA and Canada, so in no particular order of preference, here are my favourites:

Good Multiple Sclerosis Sites

Since I'm an MS patient, I felt I would like to have just a few links to some of my favourite MS sites in addition to the woodworking material. If you are an MS patient, or have friends or relatives who are, check out these sites for more info on MS. All of them have a lot of links to other MS sites. If you're not a patient and you have no experience with MS, you might like to learn a bit about this affliction.
