    Plans for d-shaped federal card table

    Hi all,
    I'm looking for measured drawings or plans for federal d-shaped card tables, like this one: http://www.americanfederalperiod.com...whitehead.html. Any leads would be greatly appreciated!

    Rob, in the absence of any other response, you could reverse engineer it from the photographs. The dimensions are thoughtfully provided and the rest can be scaled off the photos. Cheers

    Page 168 of American Woodworker Illustrated Cabinetmaking "Turn-Top Card Table" gives all the basic joinery for that table. The veneering and such would be up to you.

    Go to page 177-178

    As Wayne suggested, it would be possible to reverse engineer the piece from the photos and basic dimensions. I do this quite frequently and find it is an enjoyable process.
