HI BP family. To me Craftsman Style porch columns make a great statement. I think they add real curb appeal. I was hoping someone could suggest where I could get some detailed plans for building different configurations of these columns so I can build them in the shop. I know the height will need to be modified but that's a pretty simply thing to do. Its all the internal support details and angle that puts the craft in Craftsman. So any advice (or a set of plans or 2) would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Jim

I'd check The Family Handyman magazine, and Fine Homebuilding. Though the magazines target different skills levels they are both pretty great resources for projects like this. Also I searched this topic and found this: https://www.shadesofblueinteri...
And this:
Not sure if that's the style you are after, hopefully it gets you a start.
Also the lumberjocks woodworking forum may be of help.
