I recently came upon another FREE resource for helping all us woodworkers plan our projects. So I thought I would bring it to everyones attention.

This new one is called Project Draw and allows you to create drafting style, 2 dimensional plans right in your web browser. For FREE. While the tools are basic, with some practice you can create most everything and drawn to scale. When completed, you can download it in several formats, including the familiar JPG and PDF formats. It includes text, lines, basic shapes and more complex patterns, the ability to upload photos and place them on your drawing, SAVE your drawings and it even has a HELP feature. Its worth a look if you want to plan out that next project on paper (sort of).

Of course there is always Google's Sketchup if you want something a little more 3D. They have a FREE version as well as a Pro version. Some people find it a bit hard to understand but once they get it, it's fairly nice. If you are really having problems with it and want to try harder, there is of course the Sketchup For Dummies book availble online and at some book stores.

For those who are more familiar with the pencil and graph paper approach, Project Draw will do very nicely.
