Hey there!
Just wanted to fire off a quick note and mention that I came across another source of quality woodworking plans.
These plans are completely focused on just coffee tables and are a great bargain. Definitely worth a few minutes to take a look!
It’s Matt again, to finish up my story! To recap, my wife and I were looking for a nice set of coffee table plans to replace our old and busted coffee table. We had a heck of a time until my friend Grant clued me in to a website he found that had a ton of woodworking project plans.
So I checked out the website Grant gave me and I was stunned to see that it not only had some good plans, but it had 14,000 woodworking designs. In a ton of different categories, not just table plans. If I wanted loft bed plans, or desk plans, or even shed plans, this was a one stop shop.
I’m used to paying ten or fifteen dollars a pop for good high quality online plans. And I already knew that the free woodworking plans you find online aren’t worth a hill of beans. So I was pretty pleased to see that a one time fee got me lifetime access to this library of plans. I’d never have to pay for a woodworking project plan again.
My wife and I sat down with the list of coffee table plans and found one that we liked. Thankfully I’m a good enough woodworker that we were able to customize the plan a bit to add some unique touches. The table plans we found were so detailed and easy to follow that adding our own touch was simple!
I spent that weekend out in my shop and when I was done, I had a great end product. After I finished the piece and let it dry we had a gorgeous new addition to the living room. My wife is so thrilled and I’m very happy I was able to bless her with the perfect coffee table. There’s a picture of it down below, I hope you like it as much as we do!

Hey, Matt here again. I gotta say, I’m not a very good artist so making my own woodworking project plans can be rough. I need to lean on other folks for good quality plans.
I was pretty frustrated by my search for good plans online. The free project plans were absolutely awful. In an attempt to avoid the stress of my search I decided to head over to the hardwood supply store and buy some wood for the coffee table.
Well, my friend Grant was there shopping for his latest project. I guess he had some great picnic table plans and he was going to make a new picnic table for his back yard.
I told him about the terrible time I’d been having on my search for great coffee table plans. He said he had experiences similar issues with his projects, but then he found a great source of plans.
Grant went on to explain this website he found that was a veritable library of woodworking plans. Just about any project plan you could possibly want was there. He was positive I’d be able to find a good furniture plan for my new project.
Well I was off to the races. I headed back home and checked out the website. I was confident that I’d be able to find the perfect plan.
Hey, it’s Matt again. I know that for any woodworking plan you need to have a good shop and high quality wood working tools. I just thought I’d show you a picture of my woodworking shop.
I hope you like it! I have a project plans cabinet and everything!
Hey there, it’s Matt. I thought I’d begin by explaining why I started looking for coffee table plans. My wife was sick and tired of looking at our old coffee table, and when one of our kids accidentally cracked the top she had the only excuse she needed!
When this happened she asked me to take some time and make her a new coffee table. I didn’t put up much resistance because I really love working in my shop.
Of course I needed a good set of coffee table plans. Woodworking project plans should be easy to find online, you’d think. Well, sure enough they were easy to find.
Only the problem was that the plans for coffee tables I found online were awful. The free plans were even worse. I mocked one of them up and it was so unstable there was no way it would be usable.
So scratch free woodworking plans and enter in a search for high quality plans for a coffee table.

I'm Matt and I built this blog to share the story of my search for the right coffee table plans for my wife. She was so happy!
