    Where to buy plans?

    Where do you guys buy plans from? So many of the sites online seem, well amateur (mostly due to their web design). I need to make a simple mission style end table with a drawer but I keep putting it off because I don't feel like working out all the nitty gritty measurements.... I even know what I want it to look like and will likely modify the plans but I need somewhere to start making sawdust... what are you're favorite places to buy plans?

    I saw that one but it's not really close enough to what I want... as for norm none of his are close but I'll bookmark that one... Until I get the patience to become proficient at sketchup that is...

    Blake,

    Go to the horses mouth - so to speak. There are books by Robert W. Lang that are well regarded. He has measured drawings of Craftsman furniture designed and built by Stickley in a few different books. (Fox Chapel Publishing) Your local library may have them, or they are available from Amazon and others.

    Wish you could download them after paying. I'd buy more of them if that was the case.

    Blake, Try www.winfieldcollection.com I've used their Yard Art plans and really like them. They have a Mission Furniture section , but I haven't looked to see if they list an end table. Good luck, Craig
