The library, any news stand or book Shop or home improvement center sells books and magazines, or the Internet. All you need to do is Google. There are many free plans out there as well. For example: "free plans for garden bench" - here are 3 examples of what popped up:

  While YouTube is great for finding information on woodworking and how to start your first project—finding simple to follow, step-by-step woodworking plans is something I rarely find in YouTube videos.
  
  If anyone is looking for dimensional plans that lay out the entire process of a project—piece by piece and step-by-step—I highly recommend Ted’s Woodworking Guide that consist of 16,000 woodworking plans. Here's a link to his site.
  
  It’s an excellent guide with thousands of plans that go into detail about how to complete various projects.
  
  I believe it costs around $60-70, but the content within is well worth the price.
  
  Me and my hubby can't recommend it enough. Good luck! 🙂

My husband is currently working on a clipper half hull model (see below) he is at the stage now of giving it a French polish. He got the plans from a Dover book. The finished half hull model shown above was probably the same idea. He watches a lot of You Tube videos and reads a lot of books. He is a self taught sculptor. For other projects he just wings it. You don't say what kind of projects. Furniture? Toys?
