Second Project: table saw/ miter saw work bench
Used part of the Ultimate Roll Away Workbench with Miter Saw Stand to just build one of the roll-away workbenches to work with my miter saw and table saw. I'm very happy with how it turned out.

Used the plans here to make the table. Modified the dimensions slightly to fit my space by re-drawing the plans in AutoCAD 3D. Added stainless steel adjustable feet to the legs for leveling. Wanted to keep the wood up off the ground since this table sits on my back patio. Amazon link for feet: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08VRPCDNL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title…
Love this planter. Used quality pine. Perfect size for the balcony! I use it for fresh herbs... i have have other people wanting one too!
We have a frosty faced blind girl and an aging tri-pawed that we wanted to be able to continue snuggling with us so we adapted the Farmhouse Bed with Storage to make it a king size. We made the drawer boxes deeper which allowed us to get rid of our dresser to create more space in our room. And we added a flight of stairs for the pups.

This is exactly what I’m looking for! Perfect for our dogs. Although, I wonder if a ramp would work or if it would be too steep? Hmmm
We have a wonderful rental cabin in Grand Lake, CO. I wanted to add some special seating outside. These chairs are perfect, comfortable, and even the moose came by to see them. They agree too that Ana’s design is wonderful. My daughter and I worked on these together, from beginning to end. We cut, sanded, stained, and finally put it all together. These are so comfortable, even my husband agrees!! Thank you Ana for the plans and video. I will be adding the table to go with them too. Jennifer

I included a picture of the fancy desk above. My son and I are working on a matching end table next.

Thank you. We tried to match the look of the fancy desk which my teenage son made about a year ago. He is currently working on a matching night stand.
Here's the second project I tackled from The Handbuilt Home, the Bathroom Wall Storage unit. The first photo is according to the plan specs. I liked this project so much that I built a second one for the smaller bathroom using 1x6's instead of 1x10's, so it's not as deep. Drilling the shelf pin holes without a jig took forever on the first shelf! I bought a Kreg Shelf Pin Jig to try out on the second one, and had it done in minutes! It's so nice to have pretty storage in the bathrooms!

Thanks Debi! I'm so glad I bought Ana's book!
Except that now, of course, I'm addicted to building!

Wonderful way to dress up the yard, those look amazing, thank you for sharing!
We started this project when Young House Love agreed that I should paint the old, dated brick wall. Then we bought new couches. Then we needed a TV stand, and a coffee table to match.
This started out a project for me. I was in love with those 16 little drawers. My husband .. not so much. I saw a way to secure all my stuff from my soon to be crawling little one. Hubs saw 16 little blocks. So, after it was all done, we tore off the drawer faces, and started over.
I decided to not to do the doors. I was too worried about baby smashing her fingers, or me tripping over them and breaking the hinges, so we went with bins. They have a metal frame for durability, but are wrapped in a durable canvas to make them safe for baby. They’re a perfect fit for the center, and the feet side effortlessly across the paint. (There’s no polyurethane on mine yet!)
Extra Info:
The smaller baskets are from Target. ($12 for both)
The large baskets are from the Container Store. ($20 each)
Lumber was from Lowes of Streetboro, OH. (About $80)
I left for work one morning, and came home to a coffee table and two end tables that my husband made while I was gone. They are absolutely beautiful and complete my living room. He found the plans easy to read and the projects themselves not hard at all.
I made the Farmhouse Storage bed for my son's room, which also has to double as the guest room. It has a planked headbord and footboard. I made the slats in removable sections under the mattress to access the storage between the drawer boxes. Also modified the drawers somewhat to use less wood (basically they don't have a double-thickness front). I also used 1/2" plywood to cut down on the weight of the drawers, and they seem to work great! I used iron-on veneer to cover up the raw edges of the plywood on the drawer boxes.

Quick and fun Saturday working on building these cool new nesting boxes for my friends farm. Yes, the alterior motiv is that I keep getting free eggs LOL guilty!!!
My son moved out and needed bedside tables. I have been hounding him to learn how to build and this was the first project he did! He was super proud of himself and how they turned out. Not bad for a first build! #mompride
My version of the Farmhouse Storage Bed that I converted to a King Size Bed with modified dawers. Still working on the plans and materials list, but when completed I will update my descrption.
Love getting to watch my daughter play with stuff that i made her.

What a beautiful set! Thanks so much for building and sharing a brag post!
This plan is exactly what I needed for my workspace. I ended up adding some slat wall pieces and cabinets above from cubicles in an old office nearby that closed down for a tool wall and storage. I left the right opening empty due to how unlevel my floors are. I may close it in later with drawers or cabinets, but it will be my sitting workspace for now. I trimmed out the edge with 1x2s and painted and stained everything for aesthetics.

WOW, this looks so good! Thank you for sharing your amazing work.
My kid-o's love to sell lemonade. So, we made a trip to the local hardware store. Because I am terrified to use my husbands electric saw, any wood we purchased would have to be cut with a hack saw and a miter box. And since the stand is to be stored in the backyard, we opted to build it from cedar. We ended up purchasing 8 fence pickets for about $15 total. This was also to be a great way for my kids to apply the some of the knowledge they have picked up this year, our first year of homeschooling. My children, ages 7 and 9, measured all of the boards that needed to be cut. It turned out GREAT! We already had some extra boards, spray paint and screws on hand; so, the grand total was $15.00 for the entire project!
Made the outdoor sectional. The coffee table was made out of left over pieces!

So smart to make the coffee table out of the spare pieces.
Looks amazing!
Slight mod, table added from wood picnic table that the sectional replaced.

Amazing what some basic lumber can make! Read the comments included with the instructions ... the 1 x 4 cut list was especially helpful. All told it was under $30 for a very comfortable sturdy Adi !! Some modifications I did for mine ... I used pocket screws to attach the seat slats and arm rests ... no splinters :) I found it easier to attache the middle back support loosely to the arm supports, then attach to the back slats in the correct position Paint was Clark & Kensington All-In-One from Ace in Fairfield Manor -- it's a beautiful watery green ... perfect!! Thanks Again Ana!!

Ultimate roll out with Dewalt 10 inch table saw question
Hi, I am planning on getingt a dewalt 10 inch table saw as well. I am wondering what you did to adapt it for extending the rails with the fence? Curious if there were more photos. I would very much like to adapt my station to be similar to yours. Thanks. .
