Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!

It is always recommended to apply a test coat on a hidden area or scrap piece to ensure color evenness and adhesion. Use primer or wood conditioner as needed.

3rd plan with the PDF missing or link broken :-(
Hi Ana. I need to print the plans so I can have them handy while shopping and building. The printer-friendly version doesn't print right - cuts off the right side. Your PDF versions, when available, print fine. Unfortunately, this is the 3rd plan I've found that I would love to be able to print out and can't because the PDF link doesn't lead to a PDF file. I am hoping you can get this fixed. I love your work and would love to get started trying to build from your plans! Thanks.
