Victorian wood working plans

Hello, I'm Patrick Rheaume, a woodworker, I own LITTLE RIVER GLASS & DOOR. My wife and I just bought an old house that we a decorating in the Victorian era, I would like to know where I might find woodworking plans for furniture, and especially a Victorian bench and coat rack.
Thanks Sincerely Patrick Rheaume

I don't know of any Victorian plans specifically, but if you use www.google.com or the search engine of your choice and do a search for "woodworking plans" - or even "free woodworking plans" (the 2 will yield different search results) - you will see a great many plans to choose from. Alternately, if you find a piece you like at an auction or antiques shop - take several good pictures and measure up the overall and important dimensions and design it from there - you can do the same thing from pictures found on the internet. Here's a good site to search for images:  http://www.liveauctioneers.com/search , or use image search engines like ( http://images.google.com/ , http://www.altavista.com/image/default , http://www.picsearch.com/ , etc.) - these will produces pages of thumbnail pictures (that can be enlarged by clicking on them) making it quick to browse for what you're looking for w/o having to read text and keep clicking back and forth. Some images are copywrited/ protected, but most can be saved to your computer (then printed off and enlarged if needed). To save a picture to your computer: right click on the intended picture - then choose "Save Picture As ...." and choose the location on your computer to save it to. Frequently the overall dimensions are given - from that with an architects scale (available at any art or business supply store) you can figure out roughly the scale of the picture - knowing its overall dimensions, and w/ the scale you can figure all of the other needed dimensions of the piece - modify what you'd like, or adjust the dimensions to suit your space. Good luck.   woodwright
