Planters!
These planters are exactly what we needed to warm up this blank siding! The smaller planters are made from pine, the larger from cedar.

Modified chair plans to build loveseat. Chairs took one day and loveseat took one day.

I love how you set the cushion down in the seat. What type of cushion did you use? Is it comfortable this way? This looks exactly what I am picturing in my head, but I worry the bar on your legs might be uncomfortable.
I built this for my mom after finding plans online. Since then I have been inspired by Ana and Jacob to build all furniture I ever need from this point on. No more over priced cheap store bought furniture. Thanks Ana and Family for your plans and helping me find peace in the workshop.
I enjoy making birdhouses and log cabin style is my favorite. I make the logs by setting my saw to rip 3/4 pine at 3/4 so I have 3/4 square strips. I then decide the size of my birdhouse and cut the logs accordingly. I also "wittle" on them a little to make it look more authentic. I simply then just stack, glue and nail one row at a time. You can use 1/4 poplar for the roof but I ripped pine at 1/16 and cut shakes with my utility knife and glue them on one at a time (there are 104 on this roof).
Built fairly close to original plans. Though we did modify slightly to create a slightly taller bed.
We placed a simple - but sturdy 2x4 frame between the sides. The span seemed a bit wide and we did not want any sagging.
We skipped the optional drawers, instead we will be building lightweight wooden storage crates to fit the storage spaces specifically.
Not a hard project. Though be sure to measure twice before you cut. 🤣
These were a quick weeknight build! And.... My very first “all by myself” build! I’m really proud of how they turned out and love how much style they add to my front porch!
Built this beautiful Sofa from Ana White's Plan, had to modify a bit as I had left over small pieces of trex from my Deck , and the back rest cushions were higher.
This DIY desk provides workspace for two people. A portion of the desk is for my oldest son during homeschooling and the other portion is for my husband while he continues to work from home. Cost : $35 Difference in length, width and height will result in a change in price.
I needed new bar stools for our new bar that we designed and built in our basement family/entertaining room. Regardless of where I was looking, these things are silly expensive. I also wanted a little more of a country/rustic look that would suit my husband and my likes. I used the Vintage Bar Stool plans but my husband isn't a small guy and we have friends that aren't classified under the small frame category either, I needed more structure. After thinking about it for a few days, I liked the rustic X look and used that from so many plans. I also am all about comfort and the padded upholstered seats was a must. Can't wait for my next project. BTW. The cabinets behind the bar also came from here I simply modified for what we needed. We get compliments on it all of the time. Love this website, thank you so much for making simple to read instructions for things I actually want to do.

I am sorry. I just saw this. Honestly I don't make any plans, I kind of fly by the seat of my pants. The X's are measured out at the end.

These look great. I think that I'll add them to my build list that my wife seems to keep growing for me. How did you attach the back pieces? In the original design it showed pocket holes, but I don't see any on your work. Thanks for the help.

Could you please settle a discussion between myself and my husband? Are the legs notched out for the 1x4's to sink in , or are they just attached with pocket holes
first project ever, made a few alterations to both plans and came up with this.
Tools you basic design, made some changes to how the sides were built. I also used Mahogany.
I saw http://www.ana-white.com/2013/02/plans/wall-kitchen-corner-cabinet and knew this was the project I wanted to do in our new home. The side cabients are from http://www.ana-white.com/2013/12/plans/36-wall-cabinet-double-door-momp… project, redesined to fit the wall-kitchen-corner-cabinet plans. This was my first cabient build. Still have to install doors. I am happy way it came out and so is wife.
Thanks Ana for your great site and plans. My next project is the storage sofa :D
This planter was so easy to build! super cute, fun, spring project.
Hello from London, UK.
Used 120grit sandpaper and stained with Ronseal 10 Year Exterior Satin Woodstain 750ml Natural Oak
Burnt and stained with a semi transparent mahogany water sealer
First wood project, thanks for the great plans Ana! I made the bottom cushions using 3" thick firm foam, 2" thick memory foam, and 1" thick batting (purchased in bulk and then cut to size), and covered them with outdoor fabric. The back cushions are 4" thick soft foam. I added easily removable/washable drop cloth covers on top of all the cushions. I don't have a finish on the clear redwood, but might add a clear coat to protect it. The memory foam makes this sofa very luxerious!
I used the Farmhouse Table plans and just extended the measurements to build an extra-long outdoor table that seats 12.
I purchased reclaimed 1x4s from a deconstruction warehouse called Re-Use Hawai'i for 20 cents a foot! I cut the lumber to make an un-ordered stagger pattern, experimented with dowel joints to join the cut pieces into 4 ft. planks and used pocket hole screws (hidden by the table legs and supports) to join the planks. I used old salvaged 1x2 window framing for the legs using pocket hole joinery.
Well my wife bought 2 x 17” square seat cushions the problem was we didn’t have any stools to put them on so decided to enhance our front seating patio area with 2 solid 2x4 side tables that would double up as stools.
I based the design on Ana’s table design but decided to counter sink all the screws & cut plugs to suit so no screw heads could be seen, they turned out perfect & very robust, perfect for the U.K. weather, my wife finished them in grey outdoor paint to match the furniture, all in all they took only around 6hrs to make & paint.
I had some Kebony deck boards left over from another project and thought they would work well. I think they did! Kebony is pine that is soaked in an alcohol and then heated up. It has a 30 year warranty and requires no care. I used a Penofin oil on the 2x4s and Cutek oil on the Kebony
I went ahead and splurged on this project. It's all oak with a clear finish to show off the wood. I also put full extension slides on all the drawers. The bed is solid. It doesn't move a bit.
