I loved this plan from the minute I saw the post. We got the kids and their friends involved in this build. I love having a outdoor table that is large enough to have everyone around.
Easy to build. Just used 1x4's and 1x3's.

Awesome looking project! And well done. Do you happen to have any plans for it? I'd like to have one at my house.

Wow, this is plain awesome. Do you have detailed plans on did you make one. Am planning to make a cabinet which fits this dart board - Winmau Blade 5? Will it fit inside it?
Beautiful table
This crate was designed as a shower gift for a grandma-to-be. It was made with solid plywood sides instead of slats but otherwise follows the plans. The top edges were banded to conceal the plywood. The stain used was Minwax oil-based semi-transparent in Classic Gray. The decals were cut on a Silhouette Cameo 4 and adhered to each long side after one coat of poly followed by two additional coats.
Just bought a vacation home and need to furnish the place. Started with the size Farmhouse bed with side tables. Used Behr paint from Home Depot called Cotton Whisper sanded edges and used a dark walnut stain to antique. Finished it off with 2 heavy coats of poly.

Did you use a metal bed frame or did you make the side rails and frame? i am curious how high my mattress will sit above the footboard because I want to make the side rails and use slats. I have a boxspring that I will be using. I dont want my mattress to tower over my footboard. did you adjust the length of the 4x4s on your footboard?
Modified the potting bench plan to make an outdoor bar.
This table was a cinch to put together and only took a couple of hours
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!
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.

That turned out awesome, especially considering using what was on hand!
This cart was smaller then I expected but makes a great little addition to my office
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!
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!!

Exactly what I was looking to make without getting a router involved! What kind of moulding is that?
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 was looking for something for my son's room that would last him until college, so I adapted your plans and added hooks and a bench and stained it. Bookends are all we are missing to make it perfect. He loves it, and I don't think he will be able to break it. I could use a suggestion for anchoring it to the wall, though. Thank you for the great, easy-to-follow plan!

Your bookshelf and bench look really nice and sturdy! I'm sure it will hold up for many years. As far as anchoring it to a wall, I have had luck with anti-tip furniture straps. I would use several and anchor them right to the studs. I also use long, self tapping construction screws instead of the screws that come in the package.
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.
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.
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!

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 :).

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!
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 simple but effective, reminds me that I really should finish my other halfs kitchen island I made in February!
