The WOOD Magazine plan builds a 48 × 14 × 32-inch entry hall table, with a leg-joint detail designed to look like pegged mortise-and-tenon joinery. WOOD says the joints can instead be made with screws and a jig, and the plan also explains how to make and use a dado and rabbet routing guide. The project appeared in WOOD issue 199 in September 2010.
What this plan is for
This is a specific WOOD Magazine project, not a collection of console-table designs. Its finished dimensions are 48 inches long, 14 inches deep and 32 inches high, making it a relatively narrow table intended for an entry hall. WOOD’s project page identifies the design and dimensions and describes the joint and routing-guide features: WOOD Magazine’s project page.
The project was featured in WOOD issue 199, dated September 2010. The issue archive characterizes it as using home-center lumber and no-fuss joints, but that description does not specify board sizes or quantities: AZ Woodman’s issue archive.
How the joinery is approached
The legs have joints that can look like pegged mortise-and-tenon joints. WOOD’s plan description says they can instead be made with basic woodworking skills, screws and a jig included in the article. That is the project’s approachable joinery shortcut; it does not mean the plan is a complete beginner course or that every step requires no prior experience.

What the dado and rabbet routing guide adds
The plan includes instructions for making and using a dado and rabbet routing guide. This is part of the project material, rather than a separate table design. Because the description does not identify a router model or confirm that every reader needs to purchase one, check the plan’s instructions and compatibility requirements before selecting equipment.
What the listing does—and does not—specify
WOOD Store lists the exact plan, including plans and instructions for the routing guide. Its listing does not state a complete cut list, lumber quantities, wood species, full tool list or detailed assembly sequence. The home-center-lumber description provides useful context, but not enough information to estimate a materials order or construction time. See the WOOD Store plan listing for the current plan details.
