I've been trying to search the web for sites with free plans and projects
that would be appropriate for my 15-year son to work on, under my
supervision. I only seem to come up with pay sites. I've heard that there
are zillions of free plans on the web, but I sure as heck haven't had too
much luck finding anything good. Any suggestions/plans/links would be
highly appreciated.

The credit goes to the people here on rec.woodworking, I just collect
'em.
I'll be revising the page in the next couple of weeks.
If he has an interest in computers, this might be a good time to gain
some proficiency with a CAD program. Does he have access to one at
school? You have one? Friends and neighbors?

You can find some "U-Bild" plans at <http://www.ryobitools.com/>; go to
the "project center" menu, "plans" item.

You can add another dimension to the teaching. Making plans.
Ask what he wouldlike to make. Gather a couple of photos and overall
dimensions, then draw up plans to personalize to suite your needs.
Check out the woodworking magazines for projects. CD holders, speaker
stands, etc. would be of interest to him.
