My wife wanted a table for the kitchen, to make mornings go a little smoother. Some place we could drink coffee and have breakfast without going to the dining room or living room. I did some browsing on the internet of different furniture sites and found a picture of a table we liked. I designed the table to be as close to the picture as possible. The oval section folds for storage and is on casters so we can push it out of the way when not in use (not that it happens, but the theory sounded good). Underneath is designed to store the stools (sorry I don’t have pictures of the finished stools, but the plans for those came from Wood magazine’s bistro table and stools). I sketched my design in Sketchup. It’s made of ash, finished with Minwax Classic American stain and several coats of spar urethane. BTW the stool in the picture was a size comparison. It is actually my shop stool. Thanks for looking!

Wow Dave,
That looks like a very functional table. I have been thinking about something like for a very special spot in my wifes sun room. You have done a great job on this project. Any chance of looking at yor sketch up plans? I would be very intrested in the Sketch Up file.
Thanks for the post and the inspiration.

Hersh,
I am still looking for my Sketchup file. I have switched computers since I designed it. It’s on one of the back ups I took before I swapped pc’s. I’ll send it to you when I find it.
Thanks

Thank You, Dave. I know what it is like to switch to a new computer. I leave the old one hooked up and live for awhile just so I can find the stuff I know is somewhere. Thanks for your effort.
