I'm so happy that I found the plans for Ana's miter stand and rolling carts!  It was just what I needed for my garage shop... so everything can be organized and stored compactly but things can pull open and expand when I have a project (which is all the time, actually).

The actual miter stand was super easy to build - the carts took a few days working non-stop (when the kids permitted).

I made a few obvious changes from the plans:

-made deeper shelves on one of the carts

-added drawers on one of the carts

-added ped board on the end caps of miter stand

Something I didn't consider before building this was the slope of our garage floor.  There's a 3" difference from one end of the legs to the other so I had to use riser blocks to get everything perfectly level.  Unfortunately there's no way to level the carts as they aren't stationary but they slide in/out just fine.

I'd recommend this build to everyone!  Check Home Depot clearance often for deals on plywood!

This is a sample of what I have done using Ana's plans. Thanks Ana!!! I will be posting my entire kitchen Reno in the near future.

This was an easy project that should help provide us with fresh, pesticide-free produce for many years to come. Thanks, Ana! xo

Made four pull out drawers with full extension soft close drawer slides.

Two shallow ones to store large items in and two deep ones to help hold pan lids and frying pans.

I used select pine for the sides and routed a slot for a 1/4 inch plywood base.

I put the pocket holes on the inside so less visible.

I made this two years ago in my daughter's room, before I got to know Ana's site. This was my ever first carpentry project. It took me 4 whole days to finish. The whole wall is like a bay wall so I had to custom make the built in. Also – I did that when my husband was out of town so in order for me to be able to lift all the pieces from the basement to the second floor, I made it of 4 pieces. When my husband came back home he thought I paid someone to built it.

I made it out of 2x4’s and plywood. I trimmed the bottom with a trim.

One day I will add drawers and the cushions are in the making.

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.

This was one of my first bigger builds. I am so happy with the way it turned out!

After discovering these plans, I was excited to build one of these tables.  But my little one was not big enough yet, so I've been building them for friends.  When their kids hit 2, I give them a table for their birthday.  All the kids (and parents) have loved them.  Photos showing tables #1, #2, and #4.  Built #5 and #6 this week.  If I can go back and add in a photo afterwards, I'll post table #6 in blue.  Next up, table #7 for my little one.  I might tweak it a little so I can add an umbrella, too.  Thanks for the great plans Ana!

My co-worker and I built these planters from pallets that we had lying around at work. The only expense we had was the Kreg Jig I purchased (and love). It took us about 5 hours to put them together, including the time it took to cut the lumber to size. Then we used Thompson's water seal and stapled commercial grade landscaping cloth inside the planter. We made them for work and hope they will just naturally age. This was an easy project and we will definitely make more of these.

We had leftover screws, landscaping fabric and water seal from other projects.

We built this bench using Ana's Entryway Bench Plans. We modified it by adding adjustable shelves for additional shoe storage. We added the back with hooks for coats and backpacks. We’ve made this small space feel so much bigger by adding storage and utilizing the space that is in the room. We can’t wait to finish this project.
