Craftsman Sideboard
This classic sideboard is built with solid, mortise and tenon construction, distinctive Craftsman details, and in a perfect size for your home.
Just right. That’s what comes to mind when looking at this sideboard. Especially the size. Craftsman sideboards of the past can dominate a dining room with their generous proportions. But this one is smaller — scaled for today’s homes. When it comes to the construction, this project takes no shortcuts. It features solid-wood panels and traditional mortise and tenon joinery, which means it’s built to last. We’ve even included a table saw technique for cutting the twin tenons used on the front rail. Turn to page 38 for more on this. The sideboard shown here is built from white oak. (Cherry would be another great choice). And I’ll show you a simple technique to get the distinctive rays and flecks of quartersawn grain on all four leg faces.

Imperial Plans
The United States Customary System of Units (USCS or USC), more commonly referred to as the English or Imperial system, is the standard set of units for our plans. It uses inches and feet for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are in the United States, and it is the one we have traditionally offered on this website.

Metric Plans
The International System of Units (SI), more commonly referred to as the metric system, is the alternative set of units that we have available for some of our plans. It uses millimeters, centimeters, and meters for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are outside the United States. These plans are provided by our business partner, Australian Woodsmith, and are based on the original Woodsmith plan. However, dimensions and other elements of the plan may vary between the metric and standard versions. Be sure to double-check the plan before building.
