Re: Mission Style Hall Table
I sketched the dimensions on a photo and posted it here. It will print a little small unless you can figure out how to scale up the print to 8 x 10.

The boxes are great. I too have been a woodworker for 40+ years and always looking for my next challenge. You have inspired me.

The finish used is from Minwax. 8 coats with 400 grit sanding between each coat. I sprayed it on with an HVLP gun that is way better than the old compressor powered Binks gun I started with 40 years ago. It produces very little overspray.

The sliding leaves acutally come completely out and are stored away most of the time. The rails that slide into the under side to the table are 28" long, leaves are 18" wide by 36" long. I got the idea from an old farmhouse table of my grandfathers.
Good luck with your project.
