Looks great! Nice job.Side tables are an absolute necessity when it comes to decorating your home, not only for design but also for functionality and character. They are great to place in a home or apartment with limited space.

Thanks Joan.  I'll give it my best effort.

My Dad is like that - I'll show him some plans and he'll say, well that is too complicated, I will redraw it and make it more simple.  For him!  From plans I've used, I find there are mistakes and adjustments in just about all of them.  This was from a Woodsmith magazine for a veneer side table.  It was adjusted for solid shelf and top and added the curve to the rails.  As Dad says, the same table only different.  http://www.woodsmith.com/magazine/sources/188/veneered-accent-table/ You could try this link that I pasted; it's from the April 2010 issue.  Good luck!

Fantastic looking table.  But where do I find the plans to build it.  Some guys can just look at a finished project and slap it together.  I struggle with that.  And honestly, I struggle with the plans also.  But how do I find the plans.  Thanks

Thanks, Gerard.  The tricky part was putting the lower shelf in after having the legs and rails glued together.  If I had to do it over, I would have done assembled two legs/rail sets at a time, then positioned the lower shelf before putting them all together.  It was a tight squeeze lowering the shelf in between the upper and lower rails!  The jig is great on this sort of project!  The original pattern was from Woodsmith, with a few alterations.
