Am in the planning stages of a couple night stands and was wondering
if for a particular size if there was a rule of thumb for the leg
width and frame width. Don't want to get to wide or to narrow for the
size of the stand. Plans with dim's aren't that expensive, so I guess
I could get a set of plans and just modify it to what I want. Rather
not if I don't have to, so see what you all suggest first. Thanks for
your advice.


I'll post a picture on APBW of the bedside tables I completed recently.
The leg stock I used there was 8/4 maple, thicknessed to about 1.75".
These are quite sturdy, and sturdy looking, which was part of the design
goal. There were no curves or tapers in the leg portion, which may change
the way you undertake your design.
