Creating woodworking plans is a great way to share your project with others. It's also a great way for woodworking content creators to generate some revenue through selling of those plans. I have sold over $20,000 worth of woodworking plans on Etsy. If you have a woodworking business and you would like to create plans but don't know where to start (or want to improve your current process) this video is for you!
I get a lot of questions regarding my build plans - what programs I use & how do I make them. In this video I will attempt to answer those questions so because I think the information could be useful to others out there looking to do the same. I go over my thought process when creating plans, the specific programs I use, and even what platform to sell them on.
Thank you so much for watching and feel free to ask questions in the comments section regarding topics I didn't get to in the video!

Excellent video content! Forgive me for the intrusion, I am interested in your opinion. Have you considered - Proutklarton Money plant Plan (search on google)? It is a smashing one of a kind guide for learning how to make a massive income by launching your own internet business without the headache. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my best friend Jordan got astronomical success with it.
the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
I was really inspired by this, and I fixed a chair leg with duck tape.
Appreciate Video clip! Apologies for the intrusion, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you heard about - Proutklarton Money plant Plan (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a smashing one of a kind guide for learning how to make a massive income by launching your own internet business minus the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my good mate called Gray at last got excellent success with it.

I designed aircraft parts in 3D for 40 years until my recent retirement...working for Boeing, Cessna, McDonnel-Douglas, Bell Helicopter among others...you’ve done a great job/service in this vid...a word about equipment and costs would be a nice extra...been a fan of your site from its inception...it’s only gotten better...very, very impressive...Bravo!...

OG Comments!!!
Dude, you're awesome, willing to share everything you're doing, how you're doing it, and the financials behind it all. When it comes time to buy plans for a project, I will be starting with yours on Etsy, no question. I appreciate ya'. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the video! This is just what I needed! This is the next step for my channel and I appreciate you showing us your process! Your plans are awesome and Fusion 360 is the bomb!!!
Dude, once again a timely, well put together, concise, informative video. Can't tell you how much others like myself appreciate the info you're putting out. I've been moving away from the pencil/paper plans that I've used forever and trying to teach myself sketchup for a couple of months. Now I think I'll look at fusion 360 to see the benefits. I'll also be ordering your miter saw staion/cabinets plans. Really diggin the channel, keep up the great work!
Just bought your plans for the "perfect garage workbench" and they are fantastic. After studying them for one evening I was able to really understand the whole build and make some decisions on customizations I want to make... and some customizations I had considered but discarded as too complicated. Can't wait to get started building. The plans actually got me excited, lol!
One of the most concise, well-explained videos I have EVER seen! Your editing style makes your videos that much more enjoyable. I love how you cut the crap and get down to it!
I love your transparency, it’s refreshing and it helps me on wether I’m going to do something or not, thank you. Keep making shop greatness!!!
I really enjoy your style and the progression of your channel over the years. Even among the makers, it's quite unique! Thank You!
Killer video man. Having purchased a few of your plans, I can attest to them being top notch. Yours are my favorite because of the detail, color, and cut list/supplies. Keep it up 👍🏻
Thank you! Your transparency and clear languge is second to none my friend! Congratulations! I'm a 20 yo aspiring to be a woodworker and this is so inspiring it hurts hahah
Thank you for this video, 2 years later and this video has still filled the gap of knowledge for people like myself trying to find resources and advice on how to do this
Thanks for the intro to Fusion 360. I was learning Sketch Up as a newbie woodwork hobbyist, and it's a pain!; even with some help from videos from the Pros. And your plans includes everything for someone trying it out the first time; unlike some others that left me guessing.
Thanks.
Awesome video man! Thanks for taking the time to lay this out for everyone. I've been really wanting to jump ship from Sketchup into Fusion; even more of reason!
Dude this is super helpful. Really appreciate the info Travis! I just made a table saw cart and want to make plans for it so this is timely!!
I really like this video. I've made blog entries for years about how I build things. Mostly just pictures with me typing (or talking if it is a video) explain what I'm doing. Then I always get the comments about if I have plans, cut lists, parts list. I've just never been that organized. About to start working on a Dual Dog Kennel / Entertainment center. I've already done my pencil sketch. I guess maybe I need to look at Fusion360 and see if I can make some basic plans. Thanks, your video got me headed down the right path.
Thanks for the advice! I too do it on paper but always wanted to try a program like fusion.
This is a great video! As a draftsperson, I tend to make shop drawings like I was sending them to the fabrication floor. Way to much detail and way too complicated. This was a great reminder to keep it simple, but have everything explained. Thanks again!
So cool video, so detailed about how to make your plans. Great info and tips! Thank, bro'!
Excellent video, thanks for all the useful info!
Great video boss. Great info on getting own "business " up and running. A lot of info stated on cut lost and build lost sparked a better way forward for me. All though I have done something similar the way you broke it all down is way easier and don't know why I did not think about it like that. So thanks. Keep up the awesome videos and builds.
I took some of your ideas and tried them out. I am getting where I can make plane in printed format to take out in the shop. I worked on a current project (overland/camp box) and got something printed out which I can use. However, I am using Sketchup. In Sketchup, you have to download the extension "Open Cut Lists". I think it does a good job. I broke everything down by sub assemblies and by individual components. Long story short...I used PowerPoint to create my plans. Thank you for your insight. Looking forward to similar type of videos.
I know this video is a bit old, but just want to say you are extremely clear and in-depth of what you’re saying!!!!
As always, very appreciative of folks sharing their process and helpful info. this was really informative.
SO helpful!! It really inspires me with something I could do for some cash to save for upgraded tools. Thank you!!!
Fabulous job as usual! Hey, after all anyone with a Saturn V model is top notch. What a beast that rocket was! Keep up the A+ work!!!
Awesome work. Keep on pursuing shop greatness.
Great video. I use sketchup for my own drawings to use as 'plans' for my builds, but I've been considering offering full plans for projects on my channel. You've given me lots to think about, thanks!
Great video as usual!! Keep it up brother. One of my favorite channels on YT!
OMG, the universe is on my side today. I am in the process of starting a DIY / Woodworking UA-cam channel and was literally sitting at my desk trying to make plans for my latest projects (a desk and a shop cart) and was really starting to get discouraged. I took a break and flipped over to UA-cam and your video popped up...insane how this happens. I've been using sketchup for a dozen years to design homes that I flip and using it for woodworking projects was working ok until I got to the plans. I think I need to look into Fusion but I'm a little nervous about the learning curve since i want to get my channel and website live ASAP to share some of my content. Thank you for this video and the almost "The Secret" timing of this (i also watched the movie The Secret last night)...time to go buy a lotto ticket.
Ha! Too funny, glad it was useful!
This is awesome. Thanks! I need to get going on my first plan!
Thanks for the tip on F360 training. I have been struggling to learn it. And thanks for the affirmation that it is a good tool for the job.
Thanks so much for this! Definitely filled a need with this video!
Thank you for inspiration, that's really awesome!
I’ve been wondering how I could go about doing something like this. Video explained it amazingly. Thanks for the inspiration! 👊🏻
Thanks for the tips I was looking for something similar of what your saying on how to show a guide with explanations and greetings from Puerto Rico.
Really like these videos. Very informative. Would love to hear more about how youve built your channel and monetised your hobby. From audio and video to etsy and growth.
Outstanding video! Super helpful.
I came across your videos over the Thanksgiving holidays. Great videos. Thanks for sharing and I have a shop cabinet plan I am working on because of these videos. I am NOT repeat NOT a wood worker. Looking forward to my build.
Wow this is a great video... Thank you so much
I always see these amazing plans drawn up for projects on Pinterest and I have been wanting to make my graph paper plans better... This is super helpful
Great info. I have been a lic. contractor/welder/fabricator nut job for years. Finally starting to shoot vids and produce content. Your info. is great and the sharing is appreciated. KP
Dude...GREAT video! Thank you for that amazing content
Very useful and informative! I'm going to make my first build plan today. Thanks!
Thanks for your videos. I used your shop miter saw plans but learned that I have to adapt, improvise and overcome when putting others plans in my shop. My space was shorter and needed to shorten things. I would like to get into the Fusion 3D but HOLY COY, $495 A YEAR!!! Can you imagine how many clamps that would buy :-)
Three is free personal license.
Thanks and the link to a class on Fusion is priceless, I have access to a no cost use of Fusion related to my job, but without some direction it’s daunting at best.
Wow! Great incite to this part of the business! A lot of content creators do this but never share the benefits. Keep up the good work!
I would love to learn Fusion. I've used it but I have barely scratched the surface. It would be really cool to offer plans one day. But there is also a lot of benefit to doing this. One thing I've found recently is that I have found free plans that are ok. But that I tweak to meet my needs. I want to make my own plans that I can print off for my own personal use. Maybe they use pocket holes and I"m planning to use dominos. Maybe they suggest assembling one way and during my build I find that a different assembly process works better for me. Or... i just want to change a few dimensions. I hand write and draw pictures so that I can recreate my tweaked version. Sure would be a lot easier to make plans. Or... same thing for the things that I create on my own. Thanks for sharing this.
I just bought my first set of your plans, for the Shmedium Workbench, and my first reaction was, "HOLY SH!*!!!!! 95 pages! What the?!". But I looked through them, and found them extremely detailed. Great job! Very impressive.
A really use video, keep up the excellent work!!!!
great discussion, thanks for the information.
I've been using FreeCad and OpenSCAD for my work to do 3D Modelling for my printer. I took Mechanical CAD back in College (20+ years ago now) and I still consider myself extremely rusty (pun intended -- mechanical..rust... oh never mind) but I've been successful with making some models. My next task is to make a storage unit for my printer I can stuff in a corner.
I see that there is a free version of Fusion360, so I'm going to give that a whirl. I saw how easily you made the rabbit ears, so thought I'd give it a shot.
Excellent video, this was just what I was looking for!
One suggestion I’d offer since you said you’re looking to move away from PowerPoint is the Affinity suite of apps. They have Publisher (Indesign replacement), Photo (Photoshop replacement), and Designer (Illustrator replacement). I’ve been using those for about 6 months now and haven’t looked back. They are a one time purchase as opposed to a subscription which is awesome and I have yet to find a tool from Adobe that’s missing in Affinity. Didn’t mean to make this sound like a sales pitch, I just really enjoy these apps and I think you might as well!
Thank you. Loved the video.
Great video, thanks man.
You sir, are amazing.
Love the Lego Saturn rocket in the background. :)
Great video and content as always!
Thank you for your guidance.
Very nicely presented.
Fusion 360 is a great option
Awesome Video as Always!
Thanks mate. Awesome video
This is an awesome video bud. Thank you.
This was an excellent video, I learned a lot. Thank you....
Great video, thank you!
Thanksfully for your videos
Your builds are great. I'd love to see you build something around tape storage. I have rolls of masking tape, duct tape, electrical tape etc laying all over the place and I can never figure out what to do with them.
Nobody is this transparent. Thank you!
Great video!
Ha, can’t believe I haven’t seen this one sooner. Also recommended Kevin K in a vid (his free playlist). Fusion 360 is soo good and once learned is like riding a bike. Please don’t quit UA-cam bro. Cheers!
Great content. I have no plans to sell plans but even for my own use I'd like to have to tools to do a good job & learn something new in case, in the future, I want to move in that direction.
Thanks for the info 👍
Great video, great information, but one major omission: it wouldn't hurt to tell folks that Fusion 360 costs $60/month of $495/year, right from the get-go. This will make it easier and quicker for your audience to choose what is best for their individual needs and budget.
I have never paid a dime for Fusion 360, there is a free version
For personal non commercial usage there is free license.
Thank you!
Very good coverage - I appreciate you sharing all of this.
Great video
It is in fact my first time to the channel / video I've seen and I must share that I got WAY too excited over the definition of Shop Greatness.
Sketchup was owned by google before and I use for making cabinet design too but that's like almost 10 years ago. Google sold it. I'm also using Fusion 360 and OnShape. They are almost identical in workflow and tooling. I like OnShape because it's web-based and I don't need to install anything and I can open multiple windows. Once you learned the proper 3D modeling I think you don't want to go back to SketchUp. My profession is software developer, for me, Fusion360 is more like object-oriented programming. You can easily modify things without much effort.
Wonderful and useful channel
Great info👍Do you have a recommended page size to put the plans onto? Sorry if already answered, I’m asking days after watching the video and didn’t rewatch.
I built a Estes Saturn 5 in 1972. Fun to look at, did not fly well.
This was great and just in time for me to plan my huge kitchen remodel. I’m very familiar with Autocad but not fusion. Is there a reason you don’t create the plans in a cad based software? Or just preference?
Thanks again for a great video.
I love how you turn the Lego instruction into a Lamborghini brochure 😂
LEGO builder here-that actually IS the instruction manual for the 42115 LEGO Technic Lamborghini Sian FKP 37 that was released in 2020. It has over 30 pages of photography of actual Lambos and history, which gives it that brochure look. See it here: lego.brickinstructions.com/en/lego_instructions/set/42115/rb
Awesome video and explanation. You can really tell your professional career skills shining through in this UA-cam channel. Excellent work! Also, you may want to look into Snagit from TechSmith. It is a phenomenal screenshot tool which could help with the lack of functionality in PowerPoint. It will also complement the workflow when you move away from PP into a different authoring tool. My apologies if you already have used it, just figured it may help. Thanks again!
Absolutely love your videos and amongst other channel makers it's inspired me to start taking my hobby a little bit more seriously. Is the Fusion 360 Free version sufficient enough for woodwork modelling? I'm used to Sketchup but as you say it's limited so happy to start from scratch
You have developed a great business model
Hey Travis, I love the information that you put into this video. With that said, I was looking at the system requirements needed to run fusion 360 and some computers that were capable. I was wondering what you use to run 360.
Thanks in advance!
I use a MacBook Pro with an i7
I purchased your Jobsite Table Saw Workbench plans and found them very easy to use (I am building my second one now with some modifications for a miter saw and spindle sander versus the router lift and table saw). I somewhat disagree with your comment on getting rid of words altogether. While it works for Legos; I think there is one major distinction to be made. All of the Lego pieces are already in their final shape; you just need to match them up. In the case of woodworking, you need to transform the wood into its final shape and THEN assemble it. Some written direction is required to understand the key points you call-out throughout your plans (e.g., "make sure you use straight 2x4's or you will have difficulty later").
I really enjoy your videos, plans, and products. Keep up the great work. You have certainly helped me transform my workshop.
Amazing video.
Thank you soo much.
Great video! You use powerpoint, please let us know when and what other tool you get instead of powerpoint. Thanks!
All I could think about is how my OCD was driving me nuts with the partially opened drawer behind you!
Ahhh me too! I didn’t even notice until I was done shooting! Haha
subbed bro. good video.
Love the video as with all your content. As much as I’d love to start working with something like Fusion or Sketchup, a subscription based system just isn’t in reach for my level of hobby woodworking. Is there anything you might recommend that’s a ‘buy once, cry once’ type of option that might be more accessible to a more amateur/hobby-level user trying to explore with 3D modeling?
Hey Travis,
Thanks for the inspiration! At 9:02, what did you use to add the dimension lines to powerpoint?
DUDE you have salved my problem today.
I bought your outfeed table plans. They are pretty good plans. I would have liked to see them a little more flexible to change but I think I can make them work.. Not sure what the white out colors are in the cut lists though.
Have you used the 3D CONNEXION controller yet. This is a game-changer for Fusion 360!
love how you make your plans and your right visuals does help! I went and checked your plans in Etsy but they are mostly workbenches or things you need in the workshop, do you have woodworking plans for furniture?
My niche is shop furniture, not real furniture. I stay in my lane
