People who are new to the woodworking hobby always asked about beginner woodworking plans, they want to know what they are, if they really need them or what the best way to start a wood working project for a beginner is.
The wood diy hobby is one of the most rewarding I know, and it is a skill that you can develop over time, so if you are a beginner, you need to consider several steps in your learning process that will help you develop your skills and make great wood projects.
Woodworking plans are blueprints, easy step by step process that can help beginners and advanced woodworkers in their projects, and depending on the complexity of your project, it is easier or difficult for you to follow them.
That is the reason why some people differentiate them between beginner and skills or advanced plans.
The reality is that no matter what your project is you always need to plan in advance everything, which means you need to know what your project is about, the kind of wood that you need for your woodwork project, the tools you need and obviously, how much will everything cost, have your woodworking plans or designs, etc.
Many experienced woodworking people prefer not to plan and not to use woodworking plan because of their experience.
However, even though they are very experienced, in most of the cases the lack of wood working plan will translate on more working hours, improvisation and lots of fixing which means an increase in the cost of the project.
Coming back to the question, do we really need to use beginner woodworking plans for our projects, my answer is if you have tons of experience and are working on easy woodworking projects, probably you can avoid it.
However, I recommend that no matter if you are novice or an advance woodworker, you always get them, it will help you a lot to do things correctly, will give you a step by step guide and will save you time and money.
