I used Ana's tilt out trash bin plans to help me build this fabulous center for use in my kitchen. I love the way it turned out!
This was my second project. My Wife asked me for a desk and gave me a pintrest link, except that they had no dimensions, cut list or even material list. I found some youtube vids that covered same type desk and made my own plans.
Again, the whole thing was made with table saw and battery powered drill. Well, not counting the sander and hand plane.
I was initially going to provide the plans, material list, cut list etc but a lot of the cuts were done by eyeball and I don't wish the pain of doing this project without a miter saw on my worst enemy...
Overall it came out a lot better then I thought it would considering my lack of experience and "know how". Table top is held together using pocket holes and wood glue, the article on Ana's website about table tops helped me a ton!
As for stains its cherry on the bottom and aged white on the top. The 4x4's that I used for the base were of some red hued wood so the cherry color blended them with the white wood 2x4's that make up the decoration supports.
If you have any questions feel free to ask, this was my second project and I learned a lot of do's and dont's.
Total cost ~$200.
Total time, for me it was about 30 hours over two weeks, if you know what you doing and got the right tools probably half of that.
We used old dock wood for the surface of our X table for a nice beach house beverage center (sand bar!). We adjusted the size to fit our space (a little longer and wider) and used additional studs for the shelves instead of 1" shelving, glued and PH/PS together. To cut the X pieces I just held the 1x1 on the end of the table where it goes and marked the lines. Then I clamped a guide board at the correct angle on the table saw to make all the cuts, starting a bit long and shaving off until it just fit.
With all the pocket holes and screws I wouldn't consider this a beginner project. Some additional steps and pictures in your description would help also. End result is really nice.
I designed and built this sectional for some friends, and then wrote a how-to about the process! There are free plans for it, and a time-lapse video of it being built at http://www.iliketomakestuff.com/outdoor-sectional/
My daughter moved into her first apartment and asked me to make her a dining room table. I used the plans found on Ana's website and made a slight modifcations. I used 5/4" pine boards to build the tops and regular douglas fir 4x4s and 2x4s for the bases. All screws are hidden exept the lag bolts I painted black and used to bolt the end trusses to the center truss which gives it kind of a industrial type accent. Thanks to Ana White and Shanty 2 CHIC for the great plans. My daughter loved the table and bench and she is going to find chair for the other side of the table.
This chair was made off Ana white'smodern outdoor chair with modification to add back support. Without the back support the back pillow would keep falling off. The cushion are 25x25 but very thick for comfort.

What degree angle is the extended back cut. I can't find any instructions on this?
We couldn't be happier with our outdoor lounge, and the plans for the 2x4 sofa and chair couldn't have been easier. Most of all, I'm so proud to have been able to make this myself! Thank you Ana!
Super cute this is the smallest size with the tiny feet at the bottom
I had so much fun building this project. It came together really easily, and added the perfect touch to our dining room to make it feel nice and homey. I have since added the cabinet doors to the bottom shelf... more pictures to come.
This isn't directly from a project but it was heavily influenced by the Benchmark Media Tower. I had made two of the towers (pictures coming soon) and had some left over wood. I used the same process to attach the 2x2 poplar boards to the 1x12 and added a 1x3 at the base to give it some visual weight at the bottom. I plan on digging through the rest of my scraps and make more of these to put vases and pots on. Why not! (sorry for the camera phone quality shots) :(
I adapted this build from the Barn Door Entertainment Center plan. Like most families, our storage space needed some major help! We had minimal space to work with and all sorts of awkward things to store (rollerblades, helmets, etc). I measured how deep I needed the shelves to be to fit our helmets and pretty much built around that!
The open shelves are great as they allow easy storage spots for the kids to reach - the doors are great because they allow me to hide the stuff that just never seems to get organized! And the best part? The sliding barn doors! I park next to this thing so not having a swing out door was a major win for me!
I left the center of this piece open so I could fit a stand I already had in our garage, which allowed for a “charging station” for the cars! Our garage is rustic theme so on this piece I went with standard common board for the walls and shelves and built the trim and doors from cedar. The entire piece is stained with Minwax Provincial.
Completed the corner bookshelf (we opted to not use cupboard doors on the bottom) in two afternoons.

Cedar shed with planter box stairs. Both plans modified slightly to fit my needs. Siding is tongue and groove cedar. All other wood is brown pressure treat. Planter box stairs were sized and positioned to hide cement posts. Sorry for only one photo. Finally finished and ran out of time with good weather here in Canada. Will post more with weather permits. Thanks again for your plans. I've also built night stands and a farmhouse dining table.
Not sure if I linked the proper stairs plan. Was https://www.ana-white.com/woodworking-projects/outdoor-planter-steps-or…

This shed is beautiful! what were the end dimensions of your shed?
I built this bookcase for some office storage.
We've been desperate for more storage in our little house and this build really helped. The whole bench is 103“ wide and each drawer gives us 24"x17" of usable space. We had to do some custom shaping for the benchtop (two joined fir 2x12's) fit as the walls are not square but in the end we were really pleased.
The hardest part of the project was getting all of this built and in place while working around a busy family as this is our only meal space and the majority of cutting/forming was done either on the weekends or after bedtimes. If I were to do this again I'd prioritize sending the kids to grandparents for the weekend and know king everything except for paint out in one go.
We could have spent less time with the benchtop by using plywood like in the plans but we wanted the look of a separate benchtop. We may replace the fir with stained oak down the line but this should be plenty sturdy for the next several years.
This was the first project my husband and I built from scratch. We experimented with our brand new Kregg Jig for a little while until we felt comfortable with it, and then nervously got started. Surprisingly, the only mishap we had was that we (ok, I) accidentally bought 1X10's instead of the 1X12's. Nothing a quick trip to Home Depot won't fix! We followed Ana's directions exactly, and definitely recommend the Kreg Jig! Our neighbor is a contract worker, and he was pretty impressed at how sturdy the bookcase was. The only part that gave us a little trouble was that our planking on the back (from Lowes), was a little too wide, so we had to trim it down a bit. This was also my first time staining, but thankfully I was going for the rustic look, so I just sanded off the corners and any weird spots.
I altered the nursery armoire and made this!

I used discarded lumber from when they built our house a few years ago for the support structure. I only needed the headboard for our new split king adjustable bed. There posts are 2 2x6s sistered together. The top shelf is a 2x6 and the insert is 1x6 tongue and groove (got the idea from the fancy farmhouse bed and loved it!) blue spruce flooring with worm holes. I love it, now to do a mashup of the two nightstands with a drawer and a door 😁Thanks Ana!!!
Ps, my hubby also bought me the Kreg electric pocket hole machine for mother's day for upcoming projects. I didn't even know that was a thing until i saw your video... It's awesome!!
I used cedar and treated 2x4 and painted them with exterior paint. Love the way it turned out.

Dimensions
Can i get the dimensions from you? I’m wanting to create the exact same thing with two bins and drawers.
