Mission Style Coffee, End and Sofa Tables Plan

The three dimensional assembly drawings include easy to read step-by-step instructions. Patterns are provided for any difficult or curved pieces. The plan uses classic Mission Style through mortises and the bottom stretchers are slightly curved.

Complete lumber requirements and cutting diagrams are included. No special hardware is required.

This was my first attempt at making any type of furniture. The plans were easy to read and understand, I will make the coffee table later. I did alter two things, one the tenon are all half only and the bottom shelf has the lip all the way around. I did also purchase the heavy duty tenon jig from Rockler and used that for the construction as well. The mortises were all by hand and I can only improve with more attempts.

The plans do not match the picture. Picture shows tapered legs. Easily modified. Plans are easy to read and understand.

We are intermediate level woodworkers and still look at all plans very literally. We have chosen to build 2 end tables and the coffee table out of cherry. The plans are excellent and easy to follow, however, the cover sheet that came with the plans has a huge discrepency from the plans in the length dimension for the coffee table. Our advice would be to check and double check before one does any cutting. We are in the middle of our project and we will review again once we have completed our tables. We have made some modifications in lengths and widths, but all in all excited to get to the finished project.

Very nice plans. My 16-year old son is building a coffee table using these plans and really likes them. Designs include through mortises so that might a problem for some. We bought a dedicated mortising machine for this job. He is doing the top in mosaic tile. The plans are pretty adaptable.
