I came across the Shanty Sideboard plan while looking around the site. I decided to make this my first build from the site. I modified it slightly by making overlay doors instead of inset. I found that this allowed me more room for adjustments to the doors to get the best look. I used Pure-Bond Birch Hardwood Plywood from Home Depot for the main build with Select Pine from Lowes as the trim. This was all put together using Kreg Pocket Holes and 1 1/4 inch screws.
I used Luane Plywood as the backing for the doors. I then finished it by painting it with an off-white from Olympic (at Lowes). I left the Luane plywood in its natural state. The doors were mounted with Blum style Face-Frame cabinet hinges. I then applied several coats of Water Based Ultimate Polyurethane from Rustoleum.
I have included a picture of the sideboard in the unfinished and finished state.
I will soon be building a Hutch to go one top. I will use the Shanty Hutch Plan as the basis and modify it from there.
----------------------------------------------
I recently completed the hutch for the sideboard. I used the Shanty Hutch plan as the beginning point and then modified it quite a bit. I made three sections and added drawers at the bottom of each section.
I then used the same Luane Plywood to make the backing. This brings it all together.
The total cost was around $550.00 and worth every penny. Much better than spending $3,000.00 at store.

Simple Bed Plan Cutting List
Hello,
I've been on this website trying to find the plans for the Simple Bed Plan. I have seen many beds made; however, I don't see the cutting list (supply list) of the materials needed. Can you please help me with the supply list? My hubby and I are going to attempt to make this over the winter for a 3rd birthday present for my son. I would really appreciate the list so that we know what materials to purchase. Thank you in advance for your help with this issue.
Sincere thanks,
The Maynors

Simple Bed Plans
I am trying to build the Twin over the full bunk beds that stack. When looking at the site it says to use the Simple Bed Plans. When I look at the simple bed plans I get 3 pictures and that is it. I don't get a supply list or any kind of dimensions for the bed. Could you please point me in the right direction. I need to build the twin over the full bunk bed for family coming to my home in early March.
Thanks
Gary Dalton
