As a result of disappointment with a number of sites that are just shills for pay plans, and often not very good ones at that, I am kicking off this thread with a few sites that I have used with varying regularity, that have at least some 'free' content.
http://www.woodworkersworkshop.com/resources/index.php?cat=102
This used to be the best free site, but is now driven by ad revenue. The above link should take you to the 'free' section, which is now a bit hard to find. They also have links to pay sites, banner ads etc.\
http://www.freewoodplans.net/index.php
Another 'mixed' site, at least they keep the free & pay plans separate.
http://plans.the3house.com/index.php
A good site, this one has the option to view a small picture of a lot of the items in the plans. Also has the option to display only 'free' or free & pay plans.
http://www.popularwoodworking.com/features/projects.asp
One of the best magazine sites, with a good selection of plan/articles for free, as well as some pay plans. They also have a good selection of how-to & woodworking knowledge articles for free.
