The first real project I have attempted. I don't have any real experience with woodworking outside of shop class in junior high school.

My mother has been asking for one of these for many years. Mission accomplished.

Standard cedar deck, as you can see not complete, . However the benches are complete. Seen a picture in a book and custom cut and fit peices on my own

Used you basic 2x4 bench / couch plan but added a sloped backrest and more 2x4s across for more support.

Made from Easy Kitchen Island Plan With a few changes.

Body built from pine, Top surface built of oak.

The shelves were shortened by half To make room for two chairs.

Body painted with varnish polished sporadically.

Top Painted with three layers of varnish after polishing.

For a 4-H project this year, I want to make the Play Farmer’s Market Stand. I currently work at a daycare and I think the kids would love it.

We get so many compliments on this table! Adjusted it to be a little shorter and narrower for our space.

I did not follow any plans for this project. I literally just sketched out a few ideas and went with one of them based on the size I wanted. I used some pine project boards 3/4in that were already ripped to 16 inches. I cut them with my circular saw to size and connected everything with some wood glue and a kreg jig. I bought the $20 kreg jig and it worked perfectly I also bought the driver, clamp and kreg 1 1/2 inch wood screws. I used polyshades dark oak i think for the finish. I made it a little darker than I wanted but overall I am very happy considering I had an old computer desk sitting there before. I plan to make a farmhouse table in the future. I love this site thank you for the inspiration everyone!

This is my extremely altered double loft bed. My sister needed a custom sized double loft bed, I figured I could use this plan and make two beds in an L shape, but the space I had to work with was smaller than these plans so I had to re-design most of the bed all together, I ended up attaching two sides of each bed to the wall with legs only on the outer pieces. She wanted a "fun" looking bed so I added a splash of color, just simple enough for me to make.

Tablesaw workbench. Clears up so much room in the garage when not using the tablesaw!

We altered Ana's plans and made a little bit smaller version of it. :)

Since I used hardwood (red oak) I have to modify the plan and eliminate the sides of the shelves. Modifications and measurement is on the additional photo. Thanks again Ana, you're the best!

We needed a desk for the office. I didn't want particle board - or to pay a fortune! Thanks, Ana!

A great simple & useful project requiring 2 - count 'em - 2 different materials - screws & 2X4's. I would NOT go cheap on the 2X4's. Be careful picking over them and make sure they're as straight as possible. If some are bowed, that's OK. Just use them for the actual shelves, making sure the bow is up. I used bar clamps to hold any warped ones in place before screwing them down.
