There are a lot of websites that have free plans, Here are a few. My first project was a bookcase over forty five years ago. That was the start of my woodworking craft. http://www.familyhandyman.com/woodworking/bookcase/simple-bookcase-plans/view-all http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/how-to/intro/0,,20186212,00.html http://freewoodworkingplan.com/index.php?cat=407
