Mexican Hacienda Furniture
| MEXICAN HACIENDA The Hacienda designs came from a small furniture manufacturing company located in the Mexican village of Todo Santos near the tip of Baja California. For a long time we have looked for a quality design for this Hacienda style furniture. In these five designs we think we have found a beautiful representation of this type of furniture. |

HACIENDA HOPE CHEST
This chest with pinned lap joints is a very easy construction project. We detail in the plans the cover for the lock, which is made of 1/16" steel. This is easily cut with a sabersaw with a steel cutting blade. The chest can be lined with cedar planking which is available at most home centers.  |
| HACIENDA SOFA TABLE
This small table can be used behind a sofa or set against a wall, or under a window. The two drawers are flush fitting with hand cut dovetails. The construction is mortise and tenon and it is constructed with white pine. |

This piece is constructed of white pine with a medium oak finish. Profiles for the templates for either routing or shaping the raised panel are detailed in the plans. |
HACIENDA BOOKCASE This design with the planked back and adjustable shelves makes a nice display case for either collectibles or books. The two storage drawers have hand cut dovetails. Behind the two doors is a stationary shelf. The Bookcase is constructed of white pine. |
