We are so excited about have an organized way to store our lumber and scraps. We only had to purchase 4 2x4’s for this project and were able to use a lot of on-hand scrap pieces. The plans were so clear and easy to follow. Thank you for sharing!!
I’m in the process of renovating my kitchen and dining area and needed a rectangular table fitting against the wall. I couldn’t find the dimensions I needed so I set out to build my own! I tweaked the beginner farm house table and bench plans to fit my space and voilà! Perfectly what I needed! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Love this project! Quick, easy and beautiful.
Our local Habitat for Humanity puts on an annual event where they get folks to restore discarded or worn down furniture and sell them at auction. My wife and I participated last year and this year I was asked to build 4 dog houses and then they were going to let local designers/decorators finish them out.
I figured it would be easy to find a good dog house plan, but I was wrong so I had to come up with my own designs. I did not want to use plywood becauase I wanted them to look good. So I used 1x4's and 1x6's. I built them all just a little bit different, but the same basic design on all 3. Since I am not very good with circular cuts, did not do any fancy 1/2 circle doorways!
There are "after" pictures on the Blog. Thanks for looking!
Needed a bed. After looking in town for premade beds, I wasn’t satisfied with the workmanship or price. I thought I could build one much nicer than what I was seeing. With these plans, I was able to make it happen. It turned out way better than expected. After a couple of strikes with paint, I watched a couple of YouTube videos on painting furniture black and that’s all it took to get exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much for the plans. I also made the mini farmhouse bedside tables. I’ll put pics of it under the tables category
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.

What degree angle is the extended back cut. I can't find any instructions on this?
Smaller version of Ana's Dog Kennel. Took me about 3 weeks (working on weekends and few hours after work). Made from maple and cherry.

This really looks fabulous! Great job!
As a 'dog family', we always have rescues and visitors on board. This looks so much better than anything I've seen in stores and for less money, too.
I'm definitely adding this to my to-do list.
P.S. Your pup is adorable, too! ;-)

I have 2 yorkies and would LOVE to make this for them, this is sooooo going on my todo list.
Koli is tooo cute as well!!!
I have enjoyed my miter saw cart for years. My sweet hubby gifted me with a table saw but I was nervous to use it without support for large pieces of wood and needed better storage. So... I modified my cart by adding a back leaf and making the shelf adjustable with two sets of cleats for the height of both saws.

How do you make the new supports for the outer folding leaf?
Built this table and bench according to Ana's plans worked out great.
I was looking for a shed to keep pool towels and other deck and pool items. This shed hit every feature I was looking
for. My husband loved the plans. He's always saying he can build anything with a measured drawing and a
cut list. The only thing we changed was the roofing material. we were given some metal roofing by a friend.

Fabulous, so glad you found our plans helpful! It looks great.
Tips on building the Home Depot Adirondack chair.
Cedar shed with planter box stairs. Both plans modified slightly to fit my needs. Siding is tongue and groove cedar. All other wood is brown pressure treat. Planter box stairs were sized and positioned to hide cement posts. Sorry for only one photo. Finally finished and ran out of time with good weather here in Canada. Will post more with weather permits. Thanks again for your plans. I've also built night stands and a farmhouse dining table.
Not sure if I linked the proper stairs plan. Was https://www.ana-white.com/woodworking-projects/outdoor-planter-steps-or…

This shed is beautiful! what were the end dimensions of your shed?

Simple project
Spring is around the corner and I had no outdoor furniture. My boyfriend had just talked me into a new weber grill, which did not leave much budget for new outdoor furniture. That's when I came across this web site and thought 'I can do that'. So I talked me boyfriend into helping build this Simple Outdoor Conversation Set. We used plans for the Simple Outdoor Lounge Chair and Simple Outdoor Ottoman and then followed the alterations by post for 'My Modern Outdoor Patio Collection' to make the loveseat.
The whole project came together over 5 days.
Day 1: Cut all boards (5 hrs)
Day 2: Sand all boards (5 hrs)
Day 3: Stain all boards (6 hrs)
Day 4 & 5: Assemble furniture (9 - 10 hrs)
The total project took about 25 hrs and cost about $350. Here's the breakdown wood and supplies $204 from Lowe's for pretreated wood. $145 on cushions (NOT ON SALE); $60 for the seat cushions from Home Depot and $80 for the back cushions from Wal-Mart. We were originally planning on only having the seat cushions, but the seats were long when you set in them with your back against the bear wood (I was setting so far back, my feet couldn't reach the floor) so we opted for thick back cushions to make it more comfortable. The project finished up just in time for our first BBQ party! (March 2012)

Oh I love this!!! Love the cushions and the colors too!
Loving this furniture! We modified it slightly by raising the height of the couches. Added some height and a slight tilt in the back. The chairs are super comfortable as the plans are done. We used 6” 25x25 cushions. We plan on staining soon.

This was made for a friend. I looked up Ana's original plan and modified it a little. The end result was something she was very happy with.

I love your modifications.. Think I'll take it bit further and add another pullout on the other side of the shelf. This way I can put one hamper in each, and my whites and darks will already be separate.

What were the completed dimensions for the tilt out trash bin with side shelves
The inspiration for this piece came from an Instagram post. We decided on our overall dimensions (36" tall, 18" deep and 60" long), then more or less guessed what the size of the pieces for the face frame would be. We recreated it as best we could and I think it came out incredible. It has soft close drawers on top and the hand-made sliding shelves are also soft close. The raised panels for the doors were made on a table saw. The doors have soft close hinges. The cabinet is made from maple plywood, oak plywood, yellow pine and poplar. The top is made of cypress and stained with Minwax "fruitwood" color and semi-gloss urethane. Next step is to make the shelves which will be 48" tall overall.

I built these matching nightstands to go with a king bed frame I built for a couple whose rebuilding their home that burned down. They were pretty simple to put together, but despite their simplicity, they are gorgeous.
We needed more chairs for our dining room table but didn't want to invest in more chairs; this plan from The Handbuilt Home proved to be the perfect solution! We shortened up the dimensions for the bench so in the end it didn't require much wood and was a very simple build (especially with the aid of a pocket hole jig!). Because we have a baby, my husband and I tag teamed this effort. I re-dimensioned the plan & marked off the cuts, then he went in cut. I sanded down the jig saw cuts and assembled the box (it was such a fast build with pocket holes!). We worked together to put the frame on with some finish nails & a hammer. After making the box I was nervous the bench would be a little flimsy, but after adding the frame the bench was -very- solid. Espresso stain made it match our existing dining room furniture perfectly. This was a very satisfying build.
I came across the plans for this workbench - exactly what I need for my basement laundry area. I wanted a nice flat space where I can fold laundry. I started yesterday and put together the legs and frame. I'll pickup a countertop or nicer finished plywood for the bottom and top shelves. Here is the link to the page with plans and pics https://www.ana-white.com/woodworking-projects/workbench-get-job-done
Thanks so much for this great project idea, plans and instructions! Super helpful! I can't wait to finish it - I'll post final pic when it's complete.
