I built this a couple feet shorter than in the plans because it is for my neighbor's fish tank! It was fun to build and I'm in love with the finished product. She's going to paint or stain it herself. The pics were taken in my messy, projects-everywhere carport right before the neighbor hauled it off! Her son-in-law wants one now, and I will be building one for MYSELF right away as well! Thank you Ana!!!

When I saw the plans for the miter saw stand that had two rolling tool storage carts, I knew I had to make it.  Having a cart used for an outfeed table is a brilliant idea.  It was a fun project to make.  I tweaked a few dimensions because I like taller workbenches because I'm taller.  Now my shop is looking more organized.

Liked the Griffen Reclaimed look Media console, but not the $1099 price tag that came with it!  LOL

So with $100 and 3 hours of work, BAM! 

70L x 15W x 30H

I love this plan, it was easy to follow. 

I live in Israel, so had to translate to centimeters. 

I made the X from 2 full pieces, cutting a half width dado. Found it easier to assemble. 

Few minutes after placing it in the house front, a friend suggested buying it....

Thanks

Super simple build! Thanks for the plans!

My daughter wanted a bed with lots of storage so searched on here and found the queen and king storage beds, but she wanted something taller.  So, I modifed the plans for the bed and made it slightly larger than a queen storage bed, but not quite as big as the king, and almost twice the height.  I then built a set of stairs (modified the plans for the stairs as well so she would have 2 sets that created a bridge for her dog's kennel to go under her bed hidden away slightly.  This was by far my biggest and most challenging project to date, but we were thrilled with the way it turned out.  She loves the bed and I loved the time I was able to spend with her while building (she is 20 so time like that is far and few between)

I designed and built this for our stairs landing.  I'm loving all the storage!    I used a patterned contact paper on the back of the bookshelves.

This table is made entirely from Ethically sourced Local Redwood Timber. The wood has been kiln dried which makes it very solid and perfect to make furniture with. This results in a piece which is known for it's sturdiness, it's chunky & rustic look and it's lovely grain and colour.

I have used carefully selected Kiln Dried Timber planks of varying sizes here. When the table has been finished, the grain and colour really shine through.

This table is very sturdy and moderately heavy (Approx 15kg's).

The table may move ever so slightly over it's years too. This is due to the temperature changes in your home and thus it may create very slight cracks and stretches etc. This is perfectly natural and only adds to the rustic charm of this kind of piece. I really like the way wood moves over time and creates a character of it's own. In this regard, each and every table is going to be unique.

The legs on this table are fixed, as is the shelf.

This console table has been distressed and aged and features authentic wear marks such as knocks, dings, scrapes and even nail and screw thread marks!! It looks like it been in this world for generations!

It is then finished off by being waxed all over to treat and protect the wood.

I hope you all like it! It's fun to build.

Another project in keeping with my original theme of farmhouse style furniture. I liked the style of this table but wanted to make a smaller end table than the plans. So I scaled down a bit and used 1x4 for the top and bottom shelves and used 1x also for the X. It measures standard height for an end table but its only about 18 inches square. I added some hardware, but not the L brackets on the corners. I have young kids and was a little worried about the edges.
