Craftsman Dining Table Project

QUICK LINKS: Epic Store • Online Courses • Tables

This Craftsman Dining Table has unique features as well as an inspired composition. Influenced by the Art and Crafts design period, it has a contemporary triangulated base, along with a concealed space to store two leaves under the book matched top. When the leaves are in place, you can enjoy large group dining with friends and family around this expansive table. When not in use, simply stow the leaves away in the special compartment made to conceal and protect them.

FULL-SIZE PLANS FAQs

What kind of information do the Plans provide?
These are printed copies of Tom’s original design, hand-drawn plans, just like he makes for himself before building most projects. They note all the specifications, dimensions and helpful points of view for completing the piece.

Is there information provided about the materials I’ll need and how much?
Yes, in fact each set of plans comes with a cut list, and recommendations for finishing as well.

How big are the plans?
They are printed onto 36×48 sheets and will arrive at your door in a tube which assists with safe delivery and also provides a sturdy receptacle for future storage.

We choose to deliver in a tube versus folding the Plans so you do not have to deal with creases that impact your view of the contents on the page.

Does Tom create these using CAD?
No, he hand draws every component of the elements included on the Plans. He has worked with SketchUp in the past and though he knows it to be a great tool, prefers depicting curved elements in particular by hand.

Can I get the plans in digital format?
Good question, however we do not provide our Plans in digital format. It’s one small way we attempt to maintain the integrity of the intellectual property withing the project build experience.

Rather, we prefer to offer the physical product so the parts you will be making to fulfill the project are represented in actual size.

Why did your Plans go up in price in 2023?
The USPS added a surcharge to the shipping charge for items longer that 22″ which applies directly to the tubes in which we send the Plans. We conisdered the option of folding them, but find that it ruins the experience with them as they arrive creased and wrinkled in ways that the tube can generally diminish.

SUPPORT DURING THE BUILD

What if I have questions during the Build?
No problem, this is why we have The Neighborwood community which gives you access to Tom and many fellow woodworkers via a private forum.

You can post your questions in the Private Forum and get input directly from Tom and other Neighbors as needed. In fact, you can even ask question about any project you’re working on, and post pictures of your completed work for everyone to celebrate with you!

I’m not very tech savvy, is the Forum tricky?
Not at all, and we’re happy to help you learn how to use it. We’re all learning as we go, and once you get the hang of it… you’ll love it!
