What software do you guys use to come up with woodworking plans? Looking into a couple different options, but curious to know what's popular here.

Sketchup. There are some good tutorials from April Wilkerson, Jay Bates, or Mike from Modern Builds on YouTube.

Most of the time I design my own. If I'm not entirely sure what I want, I'll do some Google image searches.

The most fulfilment I've had in woodworking was learning lap joints for doors on built in floor to ceiling cabinets I made for mudroom storage.

Wanted to share some advice for anyone looking at track saws. I just bought the bare WEN 6.5” unit ($145.29) and paired it with the Powertec guide rail set ($119.89) and came away with a solid setup at a (comparatively) cheap price ($265).

I was considering the Makita ($585) or Dewalt ($790) setups since those are my normal go-to brands, but couldn’t stomach the cost.

Highly recommend it!

Any Black Friday deals out there?

Does anyone use SketchUp? Thoughts? Advice?

Finally! What’s everyone’s latest projects?

Recommendations for a book, website, or YouTube channel for beginner woodworking projects? I have a very good contractor table saw, orbital sander, and a few other basic tools...and would like to tackle a few projects to see if woodworking is something I really enjoy. I have three daughters ages 7, 11, and 13 so projects that could become gifts would be an added bonus.

PSA: Jet and Powermatic are having supply chain issues. Ordered a jet dust collector in March with an April delivery date. Woodcraft has pushed it back every month and their current best estimate is July 7th (though they are still advertising a June ship date). Just keep that in mind if you have any sense of immediacy around your purchasing needs.

What’s the smallest space you can get by with for a pretty basic woodworking setup?

I’m looking for recommendations for a bench top bandsaw. I’m willing to invest in a nicer one down the line, but right now I want to keep it under $300. I mostly see Powertec, Shop Fox, or Wen. There is a $375 Grizzly I’d consider if it’s way better than the others. Any thoughts?
