Pattern & Woodcrafting Questions
What makes Winfield Collection patterns better than other companies woodworking plans?
Our wood patterns are all full-size, which means you can get started quickly by simply tracing the wood pattern lines onto your wood--no enlarging is ever required. We also include complete step-by-step instructions, material lists, board cutting layouts, assembly diagrams and detailed painting or finishing directions on every woodcraft plan and pattern. We make it easy for you to successfully finish every Winfield Collection woodworking project you try.
How do I get the lines from the Winfield Collection pattern onto my wood?
First lay our pattern transfer paper (Item #CARB or #CARB2) ink side down on the wood. Then locate the woodcraft pattern on top of the transfer paper and trace all wood pattern lines. Now you're ready to cut out or paint your woodworking project--it's that simple! Your wood plans also give painting lines to trace onto one side of the design. What about the other side? If you choose to detail paint both sides of your woodworking project, use two layers of transfer paper rather than one--the bottom layer ink side down and the top layer ink side up--to transfer all lines onto your wood. When finished tracing the first side, flip over your woodcraft pattern sheet to reveal a mirror image painting pattern for the other side.
Why are some pieces not drawn on some of my Winfield Collection patterns?
We purposely do not provide full-size wood patterns for square and rectangular pieces of wood required in our woodcraft projects. Most woodworkers agree that these pieces are much easier to cut out on a saw with an edge guide (such as a table saw) using exact measurements from the Bill of Materials rather than trying to follow straight lines traced from a woodworking pattern.
How much wood and supplies are required to complete each Winfield Collection project?
A List of Materials, similar to a shopping list, appears on most woodcraft patterns listing the exact boards, wood parts and supplies you'll need. For most wood projects, this same information can be viewed by clicking on "More Info" on the product detail page prior to purchasing the woodworking pattern.
How can I suggest new pattern ideas to The Winfield Collection?
We welcome all new wood pattern ideas from our customers. Click on "Submit Your Ideas" for more detailed information on submitting your wood pattern ideas.
Does The Winfield Collection purchase the rights to original woodcraft projects designed by others?
Although our talented artists and woodcrafters design most of the woodcraft projects in our catalog, we encourage designers to submit their best wood projects for possible purchase and inclusion in our catalog.
How many new projects does The Winfield Collection develop and offer every year?
We offer over 150 new woodworking projects throughout the year developed by our own in-house staff of talented artists and woodworkers. Additionally, we are constantly adding dozens of interesting wood projects by independent designers from all across the United States and Canada.
What is the best way to protect my painted outdoor Winfield Collection projects?
Our outdoor Sealer (#POLYGN) offers maximum protection from the weather and the damaging effects of ultraviolet rays from the sun. Detailed directions for the proper application of our Sealer will be included with your order.
Where can I purchase finished woodcrafts made from Winfield Collection patterns?
Almost anyone, regardless of skill level, can make our unique woodcraft projects from our easy-to-use, full-size wood plans and wood patterns.
