Furniture Plans

Furniture plans must connect proportions with structure. A good drawing does not merely show a table or shelf—it explains how the parts stay square, how visible surfaces meet, and where wood movement or hardware clearances affect the design.

What changes from one furniture plan to another

A coffee table is primarily a room-scale and square-base problem; a bookshelf introduces shelf deflection and tipping; a farmhouse table adds wide-top movement; a nightstand may add drawer tolerances. That is why these projects deserve separate destinations.
