I stumbled onto Willis Henry Auction's website and found E-Catalogs of some of their previous auctions. Decent photos and dimensions on a bunch of Shaker tables. chests, cabinets, chairs, etc. http://www.willishenry.com/past%20shakerauctions.htm

Thanks that a very interesting resource. Wow, some of the prices those pieces are fetchin at auction are amazing  There was a $4000 letter opener...it was really nice, but it's a letter opener

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

Not to take anything away from an undoubtably nice piece of furniture...but I think _I_ could build it :>

If you have a few different views, general dimensions, a pencil and paper...Shazaaaam...you can make it. I have a few books on Shaker furniture but they don't come close to the variety documented on the Willis Henry site. If you look close you can see a few pieces used for projects in some of the WW'ing magazines.
btw...I added this site to our Links under Woodworking Plans.
