Hi --
I'm thinking of building a library table for office use -- and like many others am a big fan of this Stickley design. Both FWW and Shopsmith have plans and drawings for similar library tables -- approximately 54" wide by 28" deep.
Ideally, I need a slightly wider table -- closer to 66" -- for my intended use. I would like to retain the structural/jointery elements of either design and just tinker with elements concerning width, i.e. rails, drawers.
Does anyone see a problem basing a wider table off the original plans without changing structure or joinery?
Thanks for the help.
