carpentry question

Is there a standard height for coffee tables?

...is that you get to make things the way YOU want them.

That having been said... most coffee tables are in that 17-19" range.

However, I think I may use the "mid-chin" method. LOL

Ow.
;-)

:D

I think it depends on whoever wants the size of the coffee table.

Our German Shepherd could clear all the hors d'ouvres from the coffee table with one sweep of her tail.

New Yankee Workshop Drinking Game:

With a tip of the hat to the This Old House Drinking Game!

Drink when Norm uses a homemade jig. Chug if it is unique to this project.
Drink if Norm says "pneumatic."
Drink if Norm says "dust collection."
Drink if Norm makes something he can buy cheaper.
Drink if Norm buys something he can make cheaper.
Drink whenever the oscillating spindle sander is used.
Drink if the show opens on a location other than the New Yankee Workshop. Chug if it is outside the US.
Drink whenever a spline is used.
Drink if Norm misuses a tool.
Drink if Norm says (this must be an exact match, only the one variation is allowed), "Before we use any power tools, let's take a moment / minute to talk about shop safety."
Drink if Norm says, "countersink."
Drink if Norm mentions his compound mitre saw.
Drink if Norm uses a laser. Chug if he mentions it.
Drink if Norm uses an airport security device.
Drink when Norm dry fits.
Drink whenever Norm uses a handtool.
Drink if Norm's shirt isn't plaid.

"This dresser will have four draws."

They also eat "hamburgs".
I'd always say "It's ham-burg-ER, dammit!"

A coffee table that's the same height as the seat cushions on the sofa it's to be used with is a very comfortable table to use.

You need to subtract the FAFAD (Family's Averaged Fat Ass Deflation) value.

He is an incredible wood worker. He made me a rocking chair out of Cherry when I was pregnant with my little guy.
