4x4 Truss Beam table
I went a little more high end for the table top, but really like the design for the frame

I've always wanted Adirondack chairs but found them way too expensive to buy. I found Ana's plan a while ago and promised myself I'd make one this summer. Well I enjoyed it so much I did three of them!

Those are awesome! All you need to make now is a doll adirondak chair and you've got a complete set of Ana White Adirondack chairs! ;)
I have built this console quite a few times. Always trying different finishes. Love all of them. Have to say I always skip the X on the sides, I just get lazy towards the end :) Im in the process of building a couple more, will try to add the X to it this time...we will see :)
This was the first attempt at using the vaseline method to distress furniture and my wife loves it. I made the table top out of scrap 2x4's.
As Ana mentioned in her video, this project could be made with scraps. That’s just what I used. I used a lot of scraps and cut offs for this project.
I needed to make a K cup holder but also space to hold tea in addition to other coffee "toppings" if you well. In the pictures you can see mini creamers.
This modification was made by adding a small drawer in addition to the holes that would hold the K cups. The small drawer was made with 1/2” plywood (even more scraps) ripped just shy of 1-1/2”. I did this to make sure we did not see the plys of the drawer as I planned to add 1/4” plywood to the top all around. I wanted this to make it all uniform with the K cup area.
I added little rubber feet’s to the bottom as this will be on a granite countertop which could results in slipping and sliding.

Made this for my mother in law. She loves it, thank you for the plans. I cant figure out how to add the pics of the one I did for her hit it was awesome and my very first wooden build EVER
Built the 2x4 outdoor out of scrap and discount Home Depot wood. The stain was $.50 from the oops paint rack at Home Depot.
I built my new sofa!
I am so happy how it turned out. I had to translate all the instuctions in french, and modify the dimensions to adapt them to the lumbers I found in my country (France)
I had to change inches in centimeters too.
It was just a little difficult but I built it!!!
Thank you so much Ana, I am one of your fan.

Excellent work! Where did you buy a Kreg Jig? Is it available in France?

Wow. This just turned out amazing! Love the finish on it!

Did you use a mattress for your cushion? Did the plan fit that for you, or did you have to modify?

Did the plan fit the mattress exactly or did you have to modify it?

I don't know the size of a twin mattress but my pillow measures 180cm of length and 60 cm deep for a thickness of 14cm. I bought a foam mattress of 90cm of wide and of 190cm of length and I cut it. They are the size of a child bed in France.The size of wood are different here thus the sofa has no same dimensions as on Ana's plans. I adjusted according to the wood available here.
My spin on the rustic table. Used staircase spindles for legs, cut the side boards to accommodate. Rest of plan was pretty much the same. Wife wanted a big table, thats what she got.
I loved the country gray paint, so stayed with that. But my bed is one of the farmhouse beds and needed it to be a little taller. It turned out beautiful and have already made a second to match!
Pine box with walnut top and drawer faces. Behr paint on the box and tung oil finish on the walnut.
Designed a loft bed for teenage son. We used iKea shelving cubes for stairs/storage. The boards(flooring) are pine boards stained a dark brown. The other wood is painted black. The "headboard" is actually the bookcase shelf from his desk.
My hubby and I built this for a fundraiser. A few challenges along the way, but lessons learned for future projects!

Never saw your comment, sorry! Thanx so much for the compliment!
I built this shelf for my mudroom. I modified this plan to fit my space, it is 36 inches wide. I also used 3 - 1x3" pine boards for the top. Love this plan so much that I've made two more to give away as gifts!
I built the beauty storage cabinet with sliding mirror door from Ana White's website.
Queen bed with shim head and foot boards
Just wanted to share the results of the sectional I built with your plans.
I’m new to woodwork, newly retired, built these for my daughters, with a twist, she wanted a lounger sofa, hope you like.
I loved that I used strapping, or furring strips, for this bead. The topper wood is a 2X4, but every other 8" piece of wood cost between $1.25 and $1.99 each. Yeah! Of course, for that price, you have to know you will be sanding the heck out of it. We had a metal frame for this bed but I wanted a headboard. Because it was going against a wall with a 45 degree angle, I had to make it a lot shorter than I wanted. I made it just tall enough so both pillows, when stacked on top of each other, did not fall off the back. I just love it.

I am intrigued by this finishing paste you speak of. Could you tell me more?
Wed, 04/25/2012 - 17:51
If you can't find the minwax that debandtom25 used, you can also get a nice paste wax from Johnson Wax. I know that's what's on my finishing shelf, and like deb, I love it.
We haven't had bed frame since we moved from Florida and as we now have our own home, it was time to get one. My friend gave me headboard they had no use, so I just had to build rest of a frame.
Notice that we are middle of the hole house renovation so we have no trims, walls are lacking paint etc :) I still need to make night stands and closet for us :) Let see how they come out.
Follow our projects and life middle of the mountains in my blog :)
Followed the plans for the Easy monogram snowflake, painted it with pewter gray, and added a set of battery powered led lights to the back. Thanks for the plans Ana fun build and now everyone wants one.

What a great idea! How are you hanging this? It looks like it is floating.
Great project for my first attempt at building a farmhouse table. I adjusted the base to allow a chair to slide in at both ends. Braced breadboards on each end with (3) 2x4. Very strong and sturdy. Decided not to use the lower base support to see how it held up and has been extremely stable. My wife liked the open look so that's all I needed to hear. Excellent plans, had fun and came out better than I anticipated!
Built-in floating shelves!

Love this table!
Wonderful work, the top is gorgeous and accents the base very well! Thanks for sharing.
