With thanks to Steve Ramsey for putting together THE best information on pirated woodworking plans, what to avoid, and what to do when you need a woodworking plan.
The bottom line:
- PLEASE, please, please, at all costs, avoid the pirated woodworking plans offered on a multitude of sites on the Internet.
- Buy plans ONLY from reputable sources. Steve has a terrific page that includes all known reputable sites, current when the video first aired.
- If in doubt, please check with a reputable woodworker.
- Don’t believe the videos and other testimonials about how good the pirated plans are.
I offer my best wishes to everyone buying plans. I know you will know better in the future, based on Steve’s work and research.
