I took the plan from this and rather than have a two tone with paint, I stained the entire thing and used my wood burner to burn a pentacle in the top. My wife loves her altar.
This was so easy and fun! We splurged a bit on nice cedar because apparently the cedar mills are down due to covid so the less expensive fencing isn’t so readily available. The hubs helped me rip down the larger boards, then I cut and assembled it all. Not including the buying and ripping, this took me maybe 4 hours to complete and we ended up with a beautiful kitchen for my daughter’s 5th birthday! Thanks for these super easy to follow plans!
I made this DIY 2x4 Cart without the casters, but added a middle wood bar to the sides. I edited the dimensions to fit the space under a window. I cannot wait to put the felt pads on the bottom and get it into the room. My goal was to accomplish/master pocket holes and I am very happy with the results.
My husband made these gorgeous, inexpensive bookshelves for my classroom. We modified the plans to create a couple of different sizes. I love them, and they work perfectly for the classroom library.

I started with the Camp style loft bed, and modified it. Since we had a full sized bed, we knew that we needed it to be wider. Also, we knew we wanted a slide, since baby girl LOVES slides. We found one on CraigsList that was too long, but we cut it down and found a way to attach it. We also aren't very good carpenters (yet), so we had some issues with our stairs being wider then our platform, and had to add an extra piece. Overall, this project took us 3 weekends and a few nights after work. Also, we were using the plans which suggested it would only cost around $50, wasn't quite the case with us...I am pretty sure we spent over $200, but we didn't really have paint, sandpaper, the slide, etc. So that is pretty all-encompassing. Very happy with our results, and We cannot wait for the baby girl to see the outcome!
Cedar Fence Picket Raised Planter with Shelf - Excellent project! Used Cedar 2X4’s and Flood Clear finish. It is just beautiful and the petunias are filling out perfectly!- @jenmelnick
Headboard for our bed. We have been planning to do this for 10+ years. We have built the kids multiple beds and built the outdoor couch and other projects. So excited we finally did the headboard to finish our bed. - Heather Mitchusson Young
Made from entryway console plans and got the concrete top idea from DIY Pete's web and found a cool way to faux finish top with concrete stain I bought at sherwin Williams. Used a buff color dye added to top when mixing concrete
wanted a storage chest but didn't want just a chest so saw this in a picture then did my own measurements for what i wanted
I didn't build this shoe dresser because I particularly needed one, but it looked so lovely that I couldn't resist.
- I modified the plans by building 3 bins instead of 2 so it could hold more shoes.
- I decided against the dowel stick and opted for hinges instead, which were surprisingly not too difficult to assemble. I found that I didn't even need the magnets after installing the hinges as the doors stay closed.
- I used 7" chains on both sides of each bin instead of a belt to make it extra sturdy.
- I added two back legs.
Et voila! This is the end result. I'm very pleased.
PS. Those flopping bins are a pain when you're trying to build!! An extra pair of hands is definitely recommended.

Pretty :) Good Job. Now if I only had the space for one thats 10 rows high :P I like the stain color too. Shanty 2 Chic always uses Rust-o-leum. I think its called dark walnut. Dont quote me though. I love the stain and spray paint combo colors they use.

Rust-o-leum, that's the one!
Yes, if only every woman could own a 10-row cabinet for all her shoes! :)
I loved this from Ana's site so much we tacked one. Please note I glued, screwed and dowel ed the holes. I hate kreg jigs. We also made ours taller to add an extra shelf.

Can you tell me the length of your 1x12 sides to make it a 5 shelve case? Thank you and your's looks great!
I used all scraps to construct the stool modifying the leg height to 12 1/2" and the seat to a 12" diameter to fit properly at the kids vanity. See the complete details on the slipcover in my blog post link.
I took the Tryde coffee table plan and made it taller and wider to fit our dining room space! It turned out way better than expected!

This is beautiful ! did you have a hard time using the spruce? did it split or turn any?
Wed, 05/02/2012 - 15:37
This is beautiful ! how was your experience with spruce? im debating between spruce and pine, but spruce here is so much cheaper... did it split at all?
I made all the crates and put them together to make this interesting 'christmas tree'.

I found the best app ever. "Tapeulator" If you are tape measure challenged like me you will love this app. For example: what is 8 3/8 - 6 1/2? It can be hard to figure out...just type it into the tapeulator and get your answer, it also shows the location of the answer on the measuring tape. I love it!
My husband gets so aggravated when I measure something and say it's 4 and 2 lines...lol. I really do know what the little lines are, it is just quicker for me. haha
I found a picture of this style of chairs, and I really wanted to make them for my table. I created my own plans and adjusted them until they were perfect. I’ve since made several sets of chairs for other people including this set of 6.

I'd love to make these for my parents, do you have the plans?
This was my first large build, and it went fairly well. A few little issues here and there, but I'm the only one who will notice most of them.
Our laundry renovation with the cabinet loosely based on the Ana's kitchen cabinet plan. I used 7mm red oak plywood for the door and side panels with some with Baluster hardwood for the doors frame.
The benchtop was all cut from my usual 200mm x 50mm pine landscaping sleepers.

This was a really fun project! It took just a few hours to build but an additional 2-3 days for the concrete to dry.
chairs from Ana's adirondack chair plan and table from the round adirondack table plan. Plans were easy to follow and this was fun to do. Made for my daughters patio.

I'm wondering where to find the steps for this post? I tried going via the tags but nothing comes up on the site anywhere. Just let me know. Thanks!
Decided to use some scrap pieces of wood to make this for our backyard. Only difference I did was use 1x6 instead of 1x8 since that is what I had around. Thanks for the plans.
