Lonnie Bird seems to have the most popular secretary.  Dad built one and I have sold maybe 50 walnut crotches to craftsmen for the doors.

Lonnie's plans were a two or maybe three issues in Fine Woodworking.  Back copies can be ordered here.

I know you will at least need issue 154 and 155.

For somebody to build this one they will need to be close to a master craftsman with a lot of time.

Larry, If you let me stand real close to you I might try to build that secretary.

Look close.  Do you see the tape tab thing?

QuoteDid you build it?

No, I need to build the bed on page 96 first for my niece.  Then there is the dining room set for my wife.  Oh, then the chairs for the kitchen table.  Did I mention finishing the basement? ;D
