Laneworks Plans: How You Can Use Them

Thanks for building with me

When you buy a Laneworks plan, it's yours to build from as many times as you like. I write every plan so a beginner can follow along. Here's the simple version of what that purchase covers.

What you're welcome to do

Build it as many times as you want. One for you, one for your mom, one for the neighbor who keeps asking.
Sell what you build. Craft fairs, Etsy, your own shop: the pieces you make with your own hands are yours to sell.
Gift it, change it, make it your own. Different wood, different finish, different size. Go for it.
Print the plans for your shop. Keep a copy at the bench so you're not getting sawdust on your phone.

If you sell your builds, a shout-out like "Design by Laneworks Woodworks" or a tag on social media is appreciated. It's not required, but it helps a small shop like mine a lot, and I love seeing what you make.

What I ask you not to do

Don't share or resell the plans. That means the PDFs, templates, drawings and files, in whole or in part, printed or digital. If a friend wants to build one too, send them to laneworks101.com.
Don't post the plans online. Photos of your build are great; photos or scans of the plan pages aren't.
Don't mass-produce the design. The plans are for individual makers building in their own shop, not for factories or production runs. If you'd like to make a lot of them, reach out and we can talk.

Selling plans is what keeps new ones coming, so thanks for respecting that.

Build safe, measure first

Woodworking tools can hurt you, so use your guards, push sticks and safety glasses, and follow your tool manuals. I check my plans carefully, but every board and every saw is a little different. Measure your own parts and dry-fit before you glue, especially where the plans say "measure first." The plans are a guide, and you're responsible for your own shop, tools and build.

Questions, problems and refunds

Stuck on a step, or think you found a mistake? Reach out through the contact page and I'll help you sort it out. If something in a plan is wrong, I'll fix it and send you the updated version.

Because the plans are digital downloads, they can't be returned once downloaded, so refunds aren't available after purchase. If a file won't open or the download didn't come through, let me know and I'll make it right.

The short version

Buying a Laneworks Woodworks plan gives you a personal, non-transferable license to use it. You may build the project as many times as you like and sell, gift or keep the items you make by hand. You may not copy, share, post, resell or redistribute the plans, templates or files in any form, or use them for mass production. Plans are provided as-is; you are responsible for safe tool use and for checking measurements before cutting. Laneworks Woodworks keeps all rights to the plans and designs.
