Plans drawn from things that were actually built.
Shop drawings in metric and imperial, a cut list for every bar, and an Excel calculator that resizes the whole build when you change one number. No CNC, no plasma table, no ring roller.
The tree the plans came from
Pick a build
Every set is an instant download: printable PDF drawings in both A4 metric and US Letter imperial, plus the calculator.
10 ft Bottle Tree
18 rings, 614 bottle spikes, a base star that stands without guy wires. Resize it to any height.
Offset Smoker, any size
Type in the pipe or tank you can get. The calculator sizes the firebox, throat and chimney around it.
Raised Garden Fence
A steel panel that hangs clear of the ground, so it never rusts from the bottom. Priced per metre or foot.
Woodworking plans
Same format, same calculator, in timber.
Do it once, do it right
Printable PDF guides for the jobs around the build: protecting timber, painting, keeping a house in shape. Short enough to read in one sitting, organised so you can find your job and go.
The Wood Treatment Guide
Which protection any timber needs, by where it lives: fence posts, decking, cladding, roof, worktops.
How to Paint a Room Like a Pro
Prep, tools, the right order and the technique that hides mistakes. Prep is 80% of the result.
Year-Round Home Maintenance
What to check in spring, summer, autumn and winter, so small jobs never turn into big repairs.
Built before it was drawn
The Bottle Tree stood in a courtyard, painted and lit, before the final drawings were made. The plans describe a real object, not a render.
The maths is done
Change the height, the pipe size or the fence length. Every cut length, bar count, weight and paint estimate updates with it.
Millimetres or inches
Each unit system is drawn on its own, with numbers you can actually cut to. Nothing is converted, so nothing ends up as 1/64".
Read before you buy
Tool lists, material lists and the mistakes that cost the most. Free, and written from real jobs.
