Short answer: it depends on the package, and we can't confirm it from here. Ted's Woodworking is publicly described as a library of downloadable plans, with written instructions, drawings and diagrams as the core format. Whether video is included, and how much, is something to check on the official site before you buy, because offers change.
What is publicly documented
The plans are generally described as PDF-style documents: step-by-step text, drawings, cut lists and materials lists. If you want the format basics, see Are Ted's Woodworking plans a PDF download? For a fuller picture of the contents, read What's Inside Ted's Woodworking Plans.
What we can't verify
- Whether video walkthroughs exist for any particular plan.
- Whether any videos are bonuses, separate add-ons, or only general tutorials rather than project-specific builds.
- How current or complete any video material is.
We won't guess at these. Check the current product page, and look for specific wording about video rather than vague "multimedia" language.

Plenty of builders work fine from good written plans, especially if the drawings are clear. These pages help you judge that:

- Detailed Drawings and Exploded Joint Views in Ted's Plans: How to Read Them
- Cut Lists, Materials Lists and Cutting Diagrams in Ted's Plans
If you're new, start with something simple. Best Beginner Projects to Start With lists good candidates. When a technique isn't clear from the page, free general-purpose tutorials on that specific technique (a half-blind dovetail, say) can fill the gap. They just won't be tied to your plan's exact dimensions.
A quick check before you buy
- Find the official page's list of what's included, and look for the word "video."
- Check the refund or guarantee terms there, and read them yourself rather than relying on a summary.
- Open a sample plan, if one is offered, and see whether the written steps stand on their own.
Our guide to checking a plan before you build walks through that last step. If you're still weighing whether this is the right fit, our review and comparison page covers the trade-offs side by side.
