Black & Decker has teamed up with U-Bild to provide three free project plans – a birdhouse, hope chest, and a jewelry box, to help you skip the lines at the mall and craft a homemade gift for that special someone.
The featured projects are really practical gift ideas, and reinforce the adage that it’s the thought that counts! You can find the project plans at Black & Decker’s Smart Select power tool micro-site.

What a great idea! More tool makers should provide free plans for do-it-yourself gift projects. Plus, I think it’d be easier to convince my wife that I DO actually need another saw or drill if she thought there was a chance that I’d make something great for her with it. 😉
