Built using Ana Whites plans for a Bigger Kids Picnic Table. Used pressure treated 2x4 for frame (legs and supports), 2x4 and 2x6 pine (fir) for table top and bench. Finished with Cabot's semi-transparent redwood stain and sealer.
I used cedar deck boards and rails to make this chair - A little more costly, but definitely worth it!
The seat and back rest were made using 5/4 x 6" boards. I cut them 1/2" to 3/4" longer so that they would overhang the supports - for a more finished look. The 2x2 rails came with an angled cut, so I decided to use that to my advantage on the back supports - I made them a bit longer so they would sit higher on the back rest, and I think the angled cut looks a little more "friendly". All screws were left exposed, since this is an outdoor cedar chair.
The table in the photo is an original picnic table from the 1920's, complete with the original paint. It folds flat for storage. I hope to measure it someday and make a plan to build a reproduction - If that ever happens, I will post it on Ana's site.
Thanks Ana for the great plans!

Ana has the greatest plans, doesn't she?
This bench was the perfect size for a long wall in our bathroom! My husband added a solid front panel and used peg board to create a vented back panel. Then he made the seat hinged. Now we have a great bench that doubles as a laundry hamper with two compartments. I absolutely love it!

Wow! I love how creative you are and the modifications! Fabulous!
Made from the modified Ana White Rustic X-Console Table.
I made this console table to fit the length of my sons couch. It's about 6 foot long.
It was really easy to make. My only tip is to sand all your timber before assembling. Getting into the tight spots with a sander is quite difficult. I hae now made 4 of these tables and sanding first saves so much time and headaches. The other 3 I have made were painted white and had stained tops.

Plans
do you have the plans for this? i've been looking and looking for what i needed and this is it!!
My husband, step father and I built these Thanksgiving weekend (2010) and my mom got us a half bushel of oysters to snack on and made awesome steamed mussels with bread for dinner. This was a very fun family weekend.
I modifyed the plans a little to make the arms angle in a bit instead of being straight boards and also created the curved front. Then after building the first chair, Pat decided to make the second chair's back rest taller and cut angles to match the arms.
I picked intermediate because of needing a miter saw for all the different angles needed for getting the front right.
Also, It took one day for each chair
Just finished up this unique TV console. Built from reclaimed pallet wood.

Hi there Im new to site and also have the issue of not seeing the plans for this Rustic Modern TV Console. Are they available and Im doing something wrong or??

I am logged in and I do not see the plans for the "Rustic Modern TV Console"
Altered the Beginner Farm Table plans to use 2x8s for the top and 4x4s for the legs. I used pocket holes for the table. I followed the bench plans almost exactly, adjusting slightly for the 2x8 tops. I am a beginner and I did it myself! The table and bench are beautiful and sturdy! Thanks Ana!
These are the adirondack chairs and I took the basic model and added a wine glass holder and also a bottle/snack bag holder.

Any chance on sharing your plan for what you added on? I’d love to make this as a gift for my MIL!
Here's the Mud Kitchen I made for my son's kindergarten. All made from palettes. Unfortunately your plans came out just too late

Thanks for sharing your version, it looks like a lot of fun!
We love our new can storage!

Chicken coop I made to look like a little red barn complete with a working barn door. We have seven girls and they love their lovely barn home.

I built this from Ana's plans with some slight modifications. The top is built from hard maple and is an edge grain butcher block. I sealed the top with mineral oil and beeswax. The finish is distressed calypso blue. I also added 3" locking and swiveling casters.
We modified Ana White’s excellent Mud Kitchen plans, adding a third section and scaling the whole thing slightly larger to be a better size for our 4 and 6 year old grand daughters. It was so much fun to make and accessorize!
This table is very nice and so simple and inexpensive. Just choose your lumber selectively. I used prime 2x4's for higher quality.
I used your frame idea to install a hidden wall safe for valuables and firearms.

2 bookcases for my family, storage and organization. Left raw for them to customize. Current vision is purple and pink or maybe an ombre stain like we saw on Good Bones. Hopefully I can add update of final decision.
Time to get organized in 2017....and what better way than with some custom shelving. This was not too bad of a project to complete. It only took about 6-8 hours to cut, frame, and assemble everything together (thanks to an interruption or two). 'Twas nice to have a project for once that I didn't have to care about finishing the project with wood filler, sanding, painting. I am sure my wife thanks me more as I would have been another week getting things just right!
A few changes that I made from the original plans:
- used 2x8 for the shelving runs as I only was dealing with a 10ft run and was a few bucks cheaper to buy 8 boards vs 16 boards. Plus less cuts!!!
-installed adjustable furniture feet in the supports to deal with sloping basement floor. Unexpected side effect was it was easier to slide the unit around in the basement as I assembled it.
Outside of those changes I remained faithful to the original design. I didn't bother filling the screw holes as we will be hiding the shelving unit with a curtain once we turn the room into a TV/Office area.
Also as it wasn't 100% clear from the original plans, but the height measurements for the shelf supports are to center... not sure why it didn't register with me right away... but just in case anyone else didn't realize that as well.
My hubby and I used the tressle table plans to make this awesome table. We changed it up, adding the turnbuckles like a Pottery Barn table that we wanted. I think this turned out way better!
We used yellow pine for the lower portion and poplar for the top.
Modified the woven back bench plans to make this Texas Flag Bench. 48 inches wide.
