This post is intended for the person(s) responsible for the FWW website. I was searching for bookcase plans and came across a bookcase Jeff Miller did back in 2012. It is a 6-part Video Workshop, excellent content. However, if you look in the Video Workshop Library, it is not there. Ditto for the bookcase Video Workshop Phil Lowe did.
Why the Video Workshops listed in the Video Workshop section missing in the Digital Plans Library? For reference:

I'm not sure what I'm missing. I went to the list of video workshops, and both Phil Lowe's and Jeff Millers were right there in the list. They aren't in the digital plans library, but there are a million plans that aren't there. It may be that full size plans were never made for those projects.
Thanks John, I edited to reflect the question about the digital plans library only. I understand a lot of the plans aren't in there, but for some reason they always make it to the Tauton store for purchase.
So long story less long. We're still in the process of converting all of the full-size plans and getting them on the website. The person in charge of that is on vacation so I can't look into those specific plans right now.
That said, we're only able to convert the plans we have. A lot of the older video workshops were produced before we started selling plans, and therefore we wouldn't have commissioned the plans.
The plan (wow, a complicated word here) is to have all of the plans FW has made available in the plan library—both "digital plan" versions and as full-size PDF versions.
Thanks Ben. That explains some things.
I don't know if they include anything that appeared in Fine Woodworking, but some projects by Phil Lowe are being digitized and uploaded to SAPFM. Folks should check that out as well.
Have been. Massive effort on the part. It's staggering the library of Phil's plans they have there!
Thanks Ben, as always you are transparent and I appreciate it!
