I want to remove a penisula in my kitchen and change it into an island. The butcher block island table on the cover of the book looks very nice and would make a positive change to my kitchen.
my wife loves tables, this would help me out greatly
I don't have a resource for table building. This would be great!
OOOOOO! I need this. :)
Count me in . . . a 'freebie' should never be insulted or ignored - it might go away and never come back!!!
I'll take one..........please!
Have been blessed with our first grandchildren just this past year (TRIPLETS),so for obvious reasons our portable kitchen island butcher block with open botton shelves needs modification. Unit on cover looks ideal.
Interesting. Would love to review and use anything I find of interest.
Count me in.
That would be a great book to add to a woodworkers repertoire. Seems a like a very useful book that many of us could use.
I would like to have a copy.
Thanks for a chance to win.
Yeah, I'd love a copy of this to browse through when inspiration is required.

I plan to build a dining room table in a long narrow area. This might have ideas that I can use to meet this need.

I'm always looking for good table designs. Especially Arts & Craft examples.
Always looking for a good book on furniture construction!

I have just recently joined the online group of Fine Woodworking and am looking forward to being a part of the other side of Fine Woodworking as I have always enjoyed reading the articles in the magazine. I built a table for our family when I was much younger and would enjoyed building my daughters a more contemporary piece of furniture.
I'm planning on building a meeting/work table for my office and this could be the trick. I've never done one before so I'm in a heavy learning mode.
I'd like a book to help guide me in making my next table.
count me in too
Looking to make a table for our kitchen. This could be just what I need

Hi, I would love to have this book.
Always looking for additions to my library, please count me in.Thanks
I've just spent alot of $$ setting a new shop, If I don't produce something soon (like a table) I am going to be in hot water with my spouse. This book just could save my new shop as well as my marriage!
What fun! Count me in. BTW I really appreciate this website.
I have a bare spot on my shelf that's just the right size for this book. ;-)
Sounds like a lot of fun for me, and my wife is excited for some new tables. Would love to have the book!
Looks like lots of excellent tables! My fiance would love to have some of these in our home!!
Looks like a great book for someone starting out!
Would love this book.
Demilune, demilune, demilune!
Interesting book and would love to have it in my library and to use.

Throw my name in the hat.
To read, or not to read. That is the question.
Looks to have lots of good ideas not only for myself but my daughter who needs everything for her home.
Just happen to be looking for a corner table in the hall.
This will come in handy.
I am blessed with a wonderful shop, a settee nearing completion, and a signficant number of prospects who want me to build them tables. I'd love to have another source of ideas, design guidance, and readily available knowledge.
There's two bedside tables, an end table, a coffee table and a kitchen table on my to-make list, so this would come in very handy! Sign me up!

I am new to woodworking and would love to build a new table for my next project!
win this book before build a table ; a chance !
Anyone know where there is a good plan for a boat top table? I have a dining room that is 16'x 12' and am looking for a table to suit it.
wish me luck
Many of us have built items of our own design but occasionally to have a new piece laid out before us expedites the project (a gift, an impending show, etc). Sounds like this would be useful to many of us.
Thanks
Frank
I'm new to this hobby and the offer would sure move me to the next level. I am not yet skilled in project design, so this book would allow me to hone my interpretive and technical skills ... not to mention the end date of the contest is my 24th wedding anniversary. Surely, I could finish a project for the 25th!!
Come on baby, papa needs a new book to read...
Always eager to learn more. My Mom could use a new table, maybe one of these is just what's needed.
This is just what I need now. I've made small tables, but am hesitating at the prospect of building a full sized dining table.
sign me up, wish me luck! I can always use a resource for my next projects...
come on mama, baby needs a new table :)
Please don't give me this book. I need a table, but I can't afford the extra power tools I'd need to make one.
Looks like a good read. Thanks
Sure, always interested in the ideas of others.
I was just looking for a project for the shop- maybe this book would give me the perfect idea!
Looks like an interesting book. Please sign me up.
