I am searching for an old plan I had for a child's desk. This plan was from around 1985 when I was in the Air Force. The desk was a flip top desk that looked like a roll top desk. The desk top would slide out some. There was a chair as well. I no longer have the plan since moving several times. I made one for my son back then. I would like to make one for a mission auction at church.
I make adirondack chairs for the auction every year and want to add something new. I have reduced the chair plan down for several smaller sizes that is new this year and would like the desk as well.
I know I am going back a few years but if anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great.

In SS Woodworking Projects II 50 Easy -to-Make Projects from HANDS ON Magazine copy right 1985. It is one of those books they use to give if you brought a coupon to the demo.
On page 28 Child's Desk & Chairs. From Hands On Mar/Apr 82. This may be in the Hands On plans.
May not be the one you saw. Desk and chairs can be made out of one 4 x 8 x 1/2" piece of plywood.
Desk has shape of roll top. Wide enough for 2 chairs side by side.
Desk 48" wide, 32", tall desk top 20", high 23-15/16 deep.
Chairs 23-15/16, tall back 12" seat hieght, 12-7/8 deep, 15-3/4 wide.

Child's Desk and Chairs
Looks as if there has been a correction to the plan.

NOTE: Actual seat heights will be slightly less due to width of kerf taken by saw used to cut out the chair sides (G).

Thanks for the reply but that is not the one. Only room for one chair.
The chair used a piece of pipe between the base and seat.
