Drawing Directory

Published on Wednesday, 02 May 2012 11:43 Written by Simon Rodway

Its very hard sometimes to find what you want on the internet. I have found this applies especially to drawings or plans. Try a search for free wood or woodworking plans, and you'll see what I mean. Many of the sites which supposedly offer free plans are just links to other sites which supposedly offer free plans....and so it goes.

The aim of this site is to build a comprehensive directory of 2 and 3D drawings on any and every subject, of things that can be made, as opposed to drawings for their own sake. Because it has never been easier to share files via the internet, and because there are now so many great file storage facilities out there, listings in this directory will not link to downloadable files on LineMine, but to places like Google Drive, AutoCAD WS and SketchUp warehouse. Some of the files stored on these sites are LineMine originated. There are many woodworking projects that I have drawn over the years, that have 2D PDF plans on Google Drive, and 3D SketchUp models on SketchUp warehouse. A few of them will also have CAD versions on AutoCAD WS. The great thing about using these storage facilities is the control over sharing options they give you. It means that you can list your drawings here, but keep complete control over how they are shared, and when.

To join in the LineMine project, and start sharing drawing files, just sign up as a member. Its free, and takes a couple of minutes.

If you don't see what you are looking for today, check back in regularly, as new listings of free plans and drawings are added every day.
