Hey Rob, would you know of a program for drawing plans for different type of projects! Hall trees, tables dressers etc!

If you just need pictures Sketchup might be a good option.

If you are looking for actual shop plans you would probably need to go with one of the AutoCAD based programs.

I use Sketchup 8 it is free. There is a learning curve but you can do a lot with it. There are lots of videos out there to learn about how to use the program. I use it to draw mantels and furniture. smiley

Making a halltree in cabinet planner is easy. I would post a pic of one I made but can't figure out how to post pics on this forum.

Nice!

You could also use one of the individual shelves under the Misc. menu for the seat.
