There are a lot of free plans out there, but they do tend to be more power tool oriented, so you would still have to apply a degree of adaptation to them. It’s not impossible, but it does take some thinking about, and there is almost zero support.
The other option is to subscribe to the email newsletters of some of the magazines, as some will send free plans as a loss leader, others do them as a special offer, others do the occasional free digital issue.
If you want to be truly mercenary, then either 1. look for 14 day trials, sign up, plunder the archives for stuff that interests you, then sign out of the trial again. Or 2. Decide that all you want is simple ideas and that you will do the design yourself, and start looking around at garden centers, gardening websites etc for inspiration.
None of these however will give you as much detail or match to the hand tool way of doing things that Paul has here.
