Furniture Plans

My woodworking is primarily book learning. First at the library then with Wood Magazine then Woodworkers Journal. I also purchased many books on the subject(s). If you know what you want to build, you can find books on the subject.
FYI I have built tables, cabinets ( 2 bathrooms, one kitchen) 2 chairs, one screen door…you get the picture.

Thank you. I never. Would have about Amazon. I think this will give. Me start for a base and I can add my own twist

That pretty much covers it. All excellent leads.

Keep in mind that if you search the 3D Warehouse for plans you're likely to get a bunch of furniture models that are far from ready to build from. They may give you construction details you can work from but you'll want to go through them with a fine-toothed comb.

I found the online index to the Woodsmith magazine issues when I was looking for some plans:

Woodsmith is currently offering online access to the magazine archives for ~$79 and, for another $20, you can also get a USB stick for offline reading.
If I am not confusing sources, you could read the magazine for articles with plans and then order full-scale plans from their store )cited by Donn above).

Yep. I took a look. The plans are detailed enough to put some flesh around. Thank you
If you can do that you can likely create your own plans from your own SketchUp models. It's not too dificult to take a design as a starting point and modify it to suit if needed. As an example, this is a table I designed for a client to build for his client. It was based loosely on an existing design. I made a bunch of modifications and then, after client sign-off, created plans for it.
