Plans

[Secondlife]

Would someone be able to point me in the right direction please. My wife has asked if I could make a square dining room table that has 2 draw out leaves and I need to find some plans for this, quite happy to pay for them.

Thanks

How about this as a start? You can work out the dimensions needed for your table but this would give you the geometry.

Also this.

A Google search for draw Leaf Table Plans will turn up more.

reasonable I would say, just built a grandfather clock (not the clock bit though, bought that)

Fair do's. I couldnt build either to an acceptable standard.

The plan linked above from Fine Woodworking is very good. I helped my brother make a table from this plan. In his case he wanted a glass centre leaf (for reasons that I never quite understood) and her fabricated the slider mechanism himself from stainless steel (he has access to suitable machinery at work). I cut all the joints and made the top and he did all the sanding. We also enlarged the leg size compared with the plan, for aesthetic reasons. We made it out of oak as we have literally a shed load of the stuff in our barn. It is not a difficult project. Good luck with it.
