so the wife and I want to build a coffee table... the problem is that neither of us have any experience at all... so we are searching online to fin some simple plans...

I know some of you guys are well versed in this kind of thing so I thought I'd ask for some input...

Can anyone recommend a plan or beginner book with plans? We basically want step-by-step instructions to get us going... i'm not expecting a masterpiece by any means... just something that will be fun for us and is simple enough to handle...Thanks!

    I hope this helps. My sister in law has built some stuff off of here, she's more "crafty" than "handy" so I'm pretty sure you could get it done. Plans usually have supply lists and the whole deal.
