I made this a few years back for my brother, such a fun build.

So my husband and I have this thing...I find the projects, he builds the projects and I get to finish it. I'm more of the artsy one and he is more hands on. So this is the first table we did from Ana!

I had some leftover yellow pine, and when I saw addictedtodiy.com's Fall Centerpiece post (http://addicted2diy.com/2013/10/31/diy-fall-centerpiece/), I knew what I wanted to do with it. That's right - make my own version.

Now if you view Katie's post, she obviously has a much larger table than I do, but if you like hers, she did a very good tutorial on how she created hers. I think both are beautiful.

I fit mine to my dining space and the jars that I had saved. I also modified my version to take advantage of my kreg jig since I am sadly lacking my own nail gun. One day, I will have one. One day.

If you want more specifics, take a trip to my blog post (http://www.trekkiemom.com/2014/05/table-centerpiece.html) for my exact cuts, etc.

I love this X Console! Thanks for the plans! 

I didn't like the standard mailbox we had at my house so I designed this with my CAD program and mage it happen. thanks for this opportunity to post this.

I made this table and chairs set to go with my daughters new playhouse bed. I used mostly of scrap wood for the chairs so they each have a slightly different look. The chair seats are solid rather than slats.

this is my intro to woodworking by myself and i think the table turned out ok. ana's website sure helped allot.

Hands down one of the most popular items I get asked to build!

Thank-you Ana for the awesome plans.

This small vanity is having a huge impact in our powder room! We were thrilled to remove the builder's grade prefabricated vanity and replace it with this custom built table finished in multiple layers of homemade chalk paint and that will soon house a vessel sink.

This is aweekend project, also because I didt, and Im a beginner.. everyone can do it!

I built the computer desk for mom to replace on of those cheap press-wood desk. This was not build from an existing plan.

The one toy that we could not live without! Started this as a 2020 covid project and play on it everyday.

Your simple outdoor bench but a bit revised...I made it out of wooden pallets! the pallets were free from a local hardware store so the total cost of my bench...$9.00!

Love love love how this table and benches turned out!

This is my first project. I made a lot of mistakes but also learned a lot as well. I have very little counter top space and so wanted an island for additional work space. I had to downsize it due to my small kitchen but it seems to be about right. I got a kreg jig for this and it makes for a solid project. Next up, a platform bed!

This was my first project in regards to building anything. I had some old milled wood from my grandfathers farm that needed some attention. The wood itself was milled about 60 years ago and sat under his house in a crawlspace ever since he moved from his farm in Kentucky to the city of Atlanta, Georgia. The wood itself was in rough shape and since I didn't have access to a planer, I had to sand the rough cut wood to the smoothness of my liking. I was very limited to the amount of wood I had so I took various ideas from your website and came up with my own version. I would not have even attempted the project had I not been inspired by your site. Overall I was distracted numerous times by life so it took about 6 months to finish. Speaking of finish, I highly recommend testing several large pieces of scrap before staining. I went with a driftwood color to a weathered grey before I finally finished with a darker kona color. By the time I was done, I had sanded the table 3 separate times. I love the table and made it to where I can remove the legs for easy transport. It is solid as a rock and very heavy.
