Hi,
I would like to make a table with an Arts & Crafts pedestal base I
have seen.
There is a version on page 55 of "Stickley Craftsman Furniture
Catalogs" and also at http://www.liveauctioneers.com/s/lot...anauctions&t=x
.
I've seen it reffered to as Stickley #656 and #717 and also as a
Charles Limbert design.
Has anyone ever seen plans for this base or have a source for a good
set of pictures?
I have been able to produce a drawing in Sketch Up and I am happy with
the general appearance but I am not quite there on the finer points.
The four "legs" look good and I could probably work out how to attach
them. I am struggling to work out a construction method for the main
pedestal.

My grandfather made one like that over a hundred years ago - still looks =
good today.
If you do it like he did you will likely have solid feet and an open =
pedestal which will allow you to use lag bolts to hold the feet on.
The pedestal is nothing more than a tapered box closed at both ends. =20
At the top of the box is a board slightly less than the diameter of the =
table. =20
It is screwed to the pedestal and the table top.
If you want to have an extension table, you will need to buy a stretcher =
to replace the board.
Your only real problem is ensuring that the 4 feet are perfectly aligned =
or the table will be slightly tipsy.
Hope this helps.
