About Wooden Memories

Wooden Memories was founded back in 1983 by a long-time woodworker and high school shop teacher. One day while lamenting the lack of originality in woodcraft plans on the market, his brother-in-law said, β€œWell, if you think you can do it better, do it!” And so, it was.Β He started to design and develop lovable, comical, and whimsical plans for DIY woodcraft beginners.

OurΒ simple-as-possible approach to plan designs have had far-reaching success on all seven continents––from state fair blue-ribbon winners to federal prison inmates to amateur woodworkers in Antarctica, who built assorted toy cars to ward off boredom.

What began as a challenge, blossomed into a successful business. Today, with more than 100 original designs, Wooden Memories continues to offer the best full-scale, DIY woodworking plans in the world––plans for children’s furniture, recreational toys, and home and garden dΓ©cor. The plans lead the beginner and assist the experienced in making treasured wooden memories for loved ones.
