Jamie could try mine, though only some parts are suitable for complete
beginners.

That's the spirit, Js! Slam the new guy on something that
doesn't matter in the least just asking for help. Nice guy!
For what it's worth, (not much) the clock on my computer
is frequently way off and I have to reset it every couple
of weeks. Who cares? Doesn't effect how my router or
table saw cuts.
http://www.newwoodworker.com has some basic info on it
that a beginner might find useful.

Hey Jamie,
I am also fairly new to the world of working wood. I have found the library
to be a great resource. Especially the magazines. My local library carries
Wood, Popular Woodworking and Fine Woodworking. They have years of back
issues in the periodical stacks. Grab a coffee and spend an afternoon
flipping through the back issues. Every issue has step by step projects,
cut diagrams and extra hints and tips. When you find a plan that your think
is at your level make a photocopy.
Keep your stick on the ice.

I have a lot of project ideas and jigs on my website, but i don't
rally have plans that you can download. The recommendation I make to
people when they are getting started is to go read the book:
Woodworking, The Right Techniques" by Bob Moran. It is a fabulous book
and great for a begineer who wants to come up to speed quickly. One
of my favorite things about the book is that is shows 3 or 4 different
ways of doing common tasks depending on what tools you have. Alot of
books show you how to do dovetails for instance, but you get done
reading it, and they you are thinking, "Great, now I HAVE to go blow
$400 on a fancy dovetail jig." There is an abundance of what i
consider absolute woodworking fundamentals int his book, like how the
strnegth of glued joints varies with grain direction, fundamentals of
wood movement due to moisture and how to deal with that, etc.
I hope this helps.

Joe, I gotta tell you, this photo blew me away. (No pun intended.)
One hell of a piece of work. Very cool.

Jamie,
We could flood you with sites to look at but that wouldn't do you much good
since we don't have any idea of what kind of tools you have available to you
or your experience level using them so we could head you in the right
direction.
So, I'll let you decide what sounds good to you and suggest that you do a
Google search. Search only in >> rec.woodworking << and use the search term
JOAT (Jack Of All Trades). He has literally found hundreds of sites that
offer all kinds of free plans, How-to articles and just about anything wood
related (and then some). The subject lines in his posts pretty much tell the
story of what you'll find at the site he points to found in the message.
Be aware that there are some posts under that search term that will turn up
a lot of garbage do to some degenerates awhile back and their attempts at
showing us how educated they are. Those are not from the real JOAT and he
has had to change his handle from JOAT to something else because of all
that. Also, some of those posts are vulgar and may contain links to
pornographic sites. You should be able to easily discern the real JOAT
posts from the spoofed ones and stay away from the garbage.
PS: You should also setup your news reader so it does not reveal your email
address (use a fake one) and you should disguise your address in your
message (if you include it) so that it's not read by programs that look for
email addresses. For instance, your email address could be
dotjamiedotriouxATsympaticodotca with the note in your sig line that says -
Remove the dots and change the @ to email me.

Just check the archives

and fill in the author block. That'll get posts made by me, and not
some troll.
