    Default Tackling an X Leg Table - any ideas where I can get plans?

    It's been a long time since I've done woodworking and I've decided that I want to take a crack at making a simple-yet-substantial dining table. I wanted to make a solid, oregon table that's roughly 900 x 2750, with X style legs (or cross legs). Nice thick top (around 40mm) with thick, square post legs (around 150mm x 150mm) and a simple wax finish. Something like this:

    I was wondering if anyone out there has taken on a project like this and knows of a good resource for plans. Having exhaustively googled, I haven't found anything with the simple X design (some come close, but typically don't use the cross halving joint to connect the legs). While the design is straightforward, a decent set of plans might save me from making some rookie errors.

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Try this site.
    http://www.woodworkersworkshop.com/resources/?cat=102
    I use the site a lot for ideas as the plans sometimes are concept rather than detailed but usually find enough to work with.
    There are hundreds of sites that sell plans too if you want step by step and full cut lists.
    Regards

    Default Thanks...

    Thanks John. I did check out that site early on but wasn't able to find anything like what I was after. In the end I've sat down with graph paper and sketched out my own set of scale plans, which has been a useful exercise (not to mention a hands-on reminder of how badly I've let my basic understanding of trigonometry deteriorate). Fingers crossed it works out well!
