Drawings and Drawing

Welcome to LineMine, a website all about drawing and drawings.  At the moment, many drawings can be found in the Digital Drawing Archive. However, over the coming months drawings will increasingly be located in the Directory instead. This is part of a re-design of the site. Hopefully you will find it easier to locate drawings, and listings will include both drawings hosted on this site, and also on other sites, giving a much more comprehensive coverage. It is now possible to directly link to a 3D SketchUp model in the Google SketchUp Warehouse, from the same listing or page that holds a 2D PDF plan of the item.  Members can add listings which may include drawings, and the uploading of images and drawings is easier and quicker.

After Christmas , the look of the site will be changing, and new membership options will be available. We will be sending members regular newsletters (with an easy opt-out option if you don't want them), with offers on software and training. So watch this space.

Joining is easy and only takes a few minutes. The main archive categories are listed below, and new drawings are included in the Directory.

Craft Drawings

The craft drawing category currently contains sub-categories which include furniture plans, toy plans, model and game plans, and other free woodworking plans for the workshop. This will be expanded to include many other crafts. We just need your drawings to make that happen.

Furniture Plans

The free woodworking and furniture plans in this section do not, on the whole, have supporting instructions or photos included. Many of the original projects in this section of the archive have been published, and a special thanks to Kevin Ley and Mark Ripley for their contribution.

Game and Toy Plans

The free toy and model plans include a toy steam engine plan and and a dartboard cabinet plan.

Garden Furniture Plans

The free garden furniture plans section includes a wide variety of drawings, including garden bench plans, planter plans, and birdbox plans,

Workshop Drawings

Essential worksop drawings, including workbench plans, and free toolbox plans like the chisel chest plan by John Lloyd.

Buiding Drawings

This primary category covers all sorts of structural and construction drawings, like joinery details, free window and door plans, and external buildings and structures like decking, sheds and other garden buildings.

Outdoor Structures

The outdoor structures category covers sub categories where you can find drawings on larger garden items like free shed plans, free gazebo plans, and arbour plans.

Joinery Drawings

It is intended that the free woodworking plans in this section will cover all types of joinery, including doors, windows, staircases and fittings.
