Potting bench ... or outdoor bar?
Modified the potting bench plan to make an outdoor bar.

Redwood Planters
Planters from Easy Build DIY Planter Box. Some modifications, but essentially direct from the plans. I used redwood fence pickets for the slats, finished the frame with an "ancient oak" stain and the faces with spar varnish diluted with paint thinner.

Love the color contrast!
Beautiful build, love the look, thank you for sharing!
Kids Birdhouse Project
My two daughters really enjoyed helping daddy make these birdhouses but most of the loved painting them.

Simple White Outdoor Coffee Table
This table was a cinch to put together and only took a couple of hours

Bray and Harper's Playhouse
This playhouse was built by my 4 year old son and I. We used the general plans and even added the drop down desk. Most of it was built using my miter saw stand, another great idea by Ana White!
Simple Potting Bench
Potting sink loosely based on the Simple 2x4 Potting Bench plan, using scraps I had on hand and an old kitchen sink. One of the uprights is warped, so I used a lattice back and curved outer brackets to detract from that. I was trying to keep this zero cost.

Great use of material!
That turned out awesome, especially considering using what was on hand!
rolling storage cart
This cart was smaller then I expected but makes a great little addition to my office
I'm in LOVE!
This was my very first project... I went with antiquing the table, thanks to my Golden Retriever. (Even though he's a hundred times better than his puppy stages, if he chews, it won't show easily.)
The wood sizes are slightly off, but hey - this is what you do with free wood! Still worked perfectly!
Simple coat rack
This was a simple coat rack I decided to make with some random scraps of wood I had from previous projects. The only out of pocket costs for me was the hooks!
***update****
I decided to make a kid friendly version as my kids were creating quit the pile of courts and backpacks when they got home from school, mostly because they couldn't reach the adult one! With some left overs, problem solved!!

Looks Great
Exactly what I was looking to make without getting a router involved! What kind of moulding is that?
Farm House Table
I took the original plans from the Farmhouse Table - Updated Pocket Hole Plans - and I modified it so that my table could be countertop height and join up to my counter - like a modified breakfast bar, so this table it countertop high, and is also more narrow and alittle longer. I can easily pull it away from the wall and sit 6 people around it. It is now my favorite place in the house!
I added extra metal supports underneath to help avoid wood movement over time and added metal corner guards.

Hall Tree
Used scrap material from a new development near me. (Was given permission by developer). Liquid nails and Brad nailer used to assemble the 1x12’s. 1x2 and shoe moldings to clean up edges. Chalk and white paint to finish it up. I already had the coat rack so it literally cost me nothing to assemble.

Farmhouse Table
I am completely redecorating my home, Out is the furniture that no one was allowed to sit on or go near. I wanted furniture that we could use. I have 2 boys so I wanted it casual, fun and durable. Loved the farmhouse style and loved this table. It is made from pine, sanded and stained on top. I used Minwax provincial stain. Bottom is painted with black furniture paint then distressed. We purchased the legs from Osborne Wood Products.
Shabby Chic Bunny Box
I had a lot of fun with this project! It was quick, and I already had everything I needed on hand. I have been wanting to get more practice with my jigsaw and this project was perfect for that. I used one cedar picket for the whole box and still had some left over. I added a burlap bow and made the tail with some extra pieces of rope and my glue gun. It was a breeze!

Nice
Excellent! I doubt that I will make it in 2 hours, but I'll try. I really like this kind of product, especially given the fact that my wife loves in flowering :). By the way, if someone need help in writing of any type of works, you can visit my website http://www.trusteddissertations.com/ and get a decent discount.
Have a nice day!
Hockey 'lockers'
I needed something to organize our hockey gear so I customized this mudroom idea. It turned out great and makes me feel better when I walk in the garage. Everything must have a place!
Simple Outdoor Collection
The outdoor bench was my first Ana project. It was so easy and rewarding that I immediately set out to build the rest of the set!

So fun. So easy. So beautiful.
This table was so easy and so much fun, even for a beginner. In fact, it's so easy I've built it three times. The latest one is my favorite. I think it's the beautiful blue color...

The finish looks really
The finish looks really simple but effective, reminds me that I really should finish my other halfs kitchen island I made in February!
Classic Bunk Beds modified for toddler mattresses.
Started with the classic bunk bed plan. Changed most of the 1x4s to 1x3 except the boards at the mattress level. Added an additional rail up top to make safer for my young children. Also added 1x3s on both ends of the head/foot board to make the legs a litter sturdier and to widen the frame as our mattresses turned out to be a little wider than standard. Took out the built in ladder and matched the rest of the rails. Then added detachable stairs to be able to remove during the day and make it easier for my girls to get up and down. Made a few mistakes along the way (when you write 57.5 inches and transfer 52.5 inches to your cut list you eventually have a really bad/sad day), but had a ton of fun!
