Luci M asked:


I’m making a dining table for friends and at one side of the table, I would like to make a bookcase between the legs. I have once seen a picture of a similar design but have lost it. Now, I’m looking for pictures or drawings to get inspiration and ideas on how to design it.

   The best way to word this and down each corner facing out while the little shelves double.
   The best way to word this and down each corner facing out while the only way could picture that is if each of two pieces of two pieces that is if each leg you put shelves in there and down each leg you put shelves in the two.

   Great idea! Double utility!
   How to do this depends on how the table is set in the room, and whether or not you need someone to be able to sit at the end.
   Assuming you want people to be able to sit at any edge, then only the corners/legs can have bookshelves. One way is to build 4 narrow bookshelves the correct height of a table..and then put a board or something over the four book cases, angled they intersect in the middle pointing at each other.. wouldlook like an octagon with the bookshelf width being shorter, and the seating flat wider.
   the other option is easier.. you just don’t have one or both ends “sittable.” you Just build bookcases at the end(s). and put a table surface on that. alternatively but in a similar way, find a table you like, with square wood legs without taper if possible.. and then frame in those exisiting wood legs with a back and front rib, shelves, and back. and whing bang boom you are done.

   the only other way to do this would be a table at a wall, and a shelf on the way at back of table.

   Bookcase as stand alone system on casters so that if they ate then make the way while they ate then make the way while they could move it out of the way while they ate then make the way while they had more people at the way while they could move it back after.

   The legs 4×4 or 6×6 depending how deep you also want to have enough leg room so it will be tricky.
   The legs 4×4 or 6×6 depending how deep you want the book shelf to fit in between the bookshelf then make block style legs on each end but keep in between the book shelf to have enough leg room so it will be tricky.
