We build things badly, so our plans don't have to.

Doing Things Poorly started as one very unqualified person's shed projects. Somewhere between the third wonky drawer and the tool chest that wouldn't roll straight, it turned into plans other people could actually use — built from real mistakes, so you skip them.

1

Pick a plan tool

Browse the shop and open the design you want to build.

2

Fit it to your space

Drag the numbers until it matches your dimensions — the drawing updates live.

3

Check the warnings

We flag anything structurally dodgy before you spend a cent on plywood.

4

Pay once

A flat fee gets you the plan built exactly to your numbers, not a generic template.

5

Get your files

A nested cut sheet for your sheet sizes, plus a step-by-step build guide.

No subscriptions, no upsells halfway through your build. If a plan is wrong for your space, the tool will tell you before you pay — that's the whole point of doing it this way.
