Does anyone know if there are published plans available in FWW or elsewhere for a Shaker sewing desk? The sewing desk I’m looking for has drawers in front and on the side, a pull out work surface and a gallery of small drawers above. It seems like I’ve seen such plans in the past but my searches have not been fruitful. Thanks for any tips.

I don't recall ever seeing a plan for that, but it looks like there's enough detail in your photo that you should be able to build it by scaling it. First determine the height of the sewing surface you want, then scale it vertically to get top and bottom drawer positions and heights. The width and depth are up to you, but once decided upon, you can scale to get top and bottom drawer width and depth.
Where did you get the photo from? If it's from a catalog, do they give the overall height, depth and width? This would help.

Thank you! This is very helpful. I had not seen this before.
There's a gorgeous Shaker sewing desk in the May/June 1986 FWW by David Lamb.
That’s the one I recall having seen in the past. I love FWW but their index leaves a lot to be desired. Thank you for find this and sharing with me.
Thanks John.
There appears to be enough info in the article from which to make proper shop drawings if they were wanted.
