Platform bed
Thank you so much for posting this platform bed. I am building my first home. I am doing the finish work myself. Needing a box springs for a mattress I decided to build my own out of the scrap 2x4's and 1x4's. This bed style will fit perfectly in my new home!
Rustic X Bathroom Vanity

This is a heavily modified version of the rustic x kitchen island that I tweaked to make for 2 sinks.

Wasn’t too awful bad. The cuts were basic and easy to duplicate. I would recommend having some clamps to hold the supports in place while you try to screw them together. Otherwise, this table is pretty heavy duty and a lot bigger than I thought it would be. I sprung for a more durable and harder wood top, oak so the cost was about $25 more.

Miter Saw Cart
Love this plan, it was easy to do. I did modify it a little as did another member with longer support arms. I just purchased an extra 2x2 and cut it to fit! Thanks for the great plans!!! Hope to see more shop furniture on here soon!

Modern Craft Table for Two
![](/sites/default/files/3154844392_1397832666.jpg)
This was my first project! I love this site. My husband and I needed a work space we could share. I loved the width of the craft table so I extended it to the full 8ft of plywood available and added a support shelf. Voila! Table for two!

DIY Armoire Cabinet

After searching for a long time for a storage piece to fit the space I needed I finally decided to build one! Thank you for the plans! (Of course I had to size it down and adjust it to fit my needs.) Absolutely love it!

Our Farmhouse bed :)
![](/sites/default/files/3154844514_1397961260.jpg)
My wife and I wanted to upgrade to a king size bed and we stumbled upon this website and are so glad we did. My dad and I built this over the course of a month, working a couple hours at a time as time permitted. It was a fun build and the plans are easy to follow. I encourage anyone building these beds to find the exact measurement of your mattresses and modify the plans accordingly.

I plan to make a bed very
I plan to make a bed very similar to what you did. I like the idea that it has a headboard and footboard with storage on the sides. How did you end up fastening the head and footboards to the body of the bed?

FarmHouse Bed
Bought your book and I love it, pouring through it every nite. Planning to make the full size farmhouse bed. Got lots of tools in the Garage and taking inventory of what's in there and what I'll need, (none have been used in a few years). So glad my husband left all the tools behind when he left.
I've already built the worktable and saw horses.

chicken coop
![](/sites/default/files/Screenshot_20200511-222440_Gallery.jpg)
Modified to make the coop bigger and the planter smaller. Added 1" foam insulation on the inside and changed the design to use the "deep litter" method. This means the coop bottom goes all the way to the bottom of the support beam rather than using a removable tray. Added a steel roof with a ridge vent at the top. The chicken run under the coop is lined with buried hardware cloth so no animals can dig under the coop. All hinges are mortised and doors flush mounted. The coop is wired for power for a heat lamp. The planter is lined with a metal tray. The coop can be separated into two pieces so you can move it or rotate the top 180 deg if needed (so you can get to the eggs from the left or right side). Great plans, thanks Ana!

Square Coffee Table with Turned Legs

I used these plans: https://www.ana-white.com/woodworking-projects/corona-coffee-table-squa…
I ordered the turned legs from Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/648709457/
The stain is Varathane Premium Gel Stain in Kona, sealed with Varathane Semi-Gloss Polyurethane

Planters

I loved this project! First time I got to use my kreg jig!! Which I would recommend to any builder. Took me a few hours. Not sure how I'm going to finish them yet!

Farmhouse table
![](/sites/default/files/3154812431_1342463243.jpg)
My 19 year old son made this for me in an afternoon. I did the finishing and used an oil based outdoor stain. I would try a different finish next time. One coat did not seem enough, and two coast were tacky. I love the finished table though. We will use it outside on our patio. I am considering having my son build another using better wood for the kitchen.
Adirondack Chair with Bottle Opener

Went with the horizontal slats and added a bottle opener on the left leg.
Double Drawer Cabinet
![](/sites/default/files/2%20drawer1pin.jpg)
I had a friend who does cabinets, complete two drawers for me from your example. And he did two for my sister's place (one being a double decker slider because her drawers are deeper). Thank you for the inspiration!!

Great Job!
I love this. Functional but also decorative. Would you mind sharing the plan for your version?
I did it!
![](/sites/default/files/image_802.jpeg)
Thank you for all the wonderful plans!
i used the modified plan of the tilt out waste bin that Shanty2chic put out as a three bin laundry sorter. It turned out great!
It is finished with chalk paint, lightly distressed.

Outdoor Bench with Tilted Back Rest

I built this outdoor sofa out of Blackwood. I tweaked Ana's plan to include a backrest and a support in the front, as my planks are only 23mm thick.

Cedar Shed
Built this as a garden shed so I had to modify the front into a small 26 inch door.
My shed size was 5 x 4 as I had limted space.
My roof is angled at 10 degrees.
I used my new Kreg jig for the door that was fun!
Frame is from 2 x 3's.
The total cost for me was under $70 as I salvaged the cedar, 1 x 4's, roof felt, and shingles.
Paint for the trim was a $5.00 oops.
I am more than pleased with the outcome.
I built the potting table first before this.
So this was my second item to build and I really enjoyed it.
Can't remember much more about how I built it as I started it a while back.
This site is really amazing.
