Hello Adam, here's a TV stand that I did for my daughter 4 or 5 years ago. Although not exactly the same design as yours, it does have many of the same characteristics. I built mine out of Oak. The...

Count me in! Thanks
Patrick, I saw that no one replied to your question so I'll give it a try. Here are some concerns that i saw with your design. The seat is a little too high at 20". I also felt that you would drive...
Thanks, I'm in.
Here are a couple of good SketchUp forums that discuss and demonstrate the use of Sketchup in woodworking.

Don, if you have a copy of the plans that you can send me, then I would be happy to help you with the SketchUp drawing. Ron
Here is an updated copy of the SketchUp model with some minor alterations. (I improved the under seat braces.) The SketchUp model was created by making each piece or part a "component" so that all...
Chris, I don't know if there are any ready made plans for this type of picnic table, so I took a stab at drawing one up for you based on what I was able to see in your picture. The table top is 60"...
Count me in! Thanks Fine Woodworking!
I used a short 1/2" dowel on both sides. The placement of the holes for the dowels is critical so that the lower step will flip in & out with out striking the upper step. The Sketchup drawing will...
Well, I think I've arrived at a final design. Thank you for all your input and sample drawings. In the end I straied from the original design of the single drop down door and went with the double...
Martin, thanks for your input. I'll re-look at changing the drawers. What you suggested makes sense. The leg height should be OK. It's 23 1/2".
Rich, all of the latest Jpegs are renderings from Kerkythea. Great rendering program if you haven't tried it yet. It's free.
Well, I've drawn two versions of the 1880 desk and I'm posting both here to get your opinions on which design you prefer. Both desks are identical except for the door style. Other design elements are...
Thanks Rich, just click on my name and e-mail me your photo.
Tony, thanks for the drawings, they are great examples. The 2 desks that I have seen were on a flat writing desk with tapered legs and a single drawer in the apron. The top cabinet on both had a...
Thanks Tony. Your drawing has 2 doors on the upper cabinet vs the one drop down door, but I wonder were all desks of this style called Planters Desks?
Thanks Martin, the Planter's Desk is a good one to get dimensions from. Once I settle on a final design I'll post my SketchUp drawing here.
I need your help identifying a type of desk and if possible point me to some examples that you have seen on the web. Over the course of the last 6 months I have seen a couple examples of an antique...
Outstanding craftsmanship Charles. The Cherry plywood worked well and looks great with the finish that you used. Ron
Nicely done Mike. Great design. Good Luck w/ the contest.
It's FINISHED! Well, not exactly 'finished'. The construction is done and the cabinet is ready to be shipped to my son's house were he will take over the finishing steps. Thanks for watching as well...
Here's the latest progress on the cabinet. The drawers are made (all 11 of them) and installed with runners and guides. The drawer edges were rounded over using the router table and the drawer pulls...
