To the wise of woodworking-

I stumbled a cross this news group and realized that this was just what I
was looking for.  I'm a beginner or shall we say very "green" when it comes
to building with wood.  However, I recently finished a few projects that
were quite successful and a lot of relaxing fun.  Now I'd like to build a
nice coffee table for my house but don't have enough knowledge or any plans
to get started.  Can anybody direct me on how I should get started.  Maybe
an easy plan for a table you could pass on?  I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,

M. Kluttz (the rookie)

M.
My suggestion would be:
1) find a place to look &, of course, buy WW magazines and or books.
2) Scan the internet.  
I truly believe that I currently have enough magazines with plans to keep
me woodworking for the rest of my life.  I'm sure I have many plans for
coffee tables in the magazines I've collected.  The magazines, also, have
basically taught me much of what I know about woodworking.  So, take some
time and investigate.

Coffee Tables are fun to make,And unique One-of are thee best i think.
Many ideas for them abound like usin an old antique screen door covered
with glass and used for a top,Or a Ceramic tiles pattern set into a top,
or How about takin a Bunch of Coffee cups and breakin them up and
imbedding them into a top then covering with clear acrylic Then glass
topping? As you can see There are Millions if not Billions of
concepts,and you can find most at your local library in the WW
section,or in the Home Deco section etc...Of course you can make an all
wood table too! hhehe
