What is the Project Plan Marketplace?
TradeCraft Educational Services is creating a first-of-its-kind digital marketplace where ag mechanics and shop teachers can buy and sell classroom-ready welding and woodworking projects.
Whether it’s a student-built welding table, tool caddy, boot rack, or a beginner woodworking project, our platform helps teachers turn great shop builds into resources other educators can use — and get paid for it.
Each listing will include project plans, a labeled part breakdown, a materials list, and optional build instructions or classroom notes to make it easy for teachers to implement the project with their own students. TradeCraft handles the hosting, marketing, and delivery — you simply upload your project and start earning.
If you’ve got an original project that worked well in your shop, we’ll help you turn it into a resource that supports teachers across the country — and puts up to 70% of every sale into your pocket.
Turn your existing plans into income!
