Practically to spec. (When I make a mistake I adjust to accommodate :) if possible)
Ana's plan was exactly what I was looking for. Love the result. Love pocket hole screws!

Used the plans as provided by Ana for the Rustic X Coffee Table.
I built this table using barn wood I reclaimed from a farmstead in Saline, MI which I dismantled in 2010. Interestingly enough, during the dismantling, the farmstead served as a movie set for the filming of Cedar Rapids, starring Ann Hesche, John C. Riley and Sigourney Weaver.
Thanks for looking,
Mike

Thank you for your compliment, much appreciated!!
I'm fortunate to have been working with reclaimed wood for eleven years now and the outcome never ceases to amaze me once the finish is applied.
Thanks again.

I built this for my daughter's 5th birthday. She didn't actually have a bed in her room and this seemed like a great opportunity to dust off some of my skills.
It was a big project, but worth it all when I saw how much she LOVES it.
I really love this table! Thanks for the plans!
My one of my first projects. Followed the plans here, https://www.ana-white.com/woodworking-projects/grandy-barn-door-console
Doors are 1x4 frame on 1/2” plywood and got the hardware from amazon

A little beefy but worked. Had to trim the track a little bit to fit the build.
Also added hdmi/coax ports for easy plug ins. And an hdmi splitter since our tv only had 2 inputs.
Overall very happy with the outcome on this one
I had just finished my daughter's playhouse loft bed when I saw this plan. It was super easy to build and I used all left over wood from the playhouse. I used 6-inch boards for the sides and shelves since that was what I had left over. Other than that, I followed this plan exactly. Thanks for posting!
Built at 31 weeks, rockers were indeed tricky. Would recommend leaving top of rockers straight. My doctor objected to me staining it myself so my mom did it for me.
Made from wood salvaged from a renovation. Cushions from Improvements Catalog and Target.
I have never so much has touched a saw before, but got a wild hair to build something. This is my very first attempt. I didn’t put the X on it, but I did the rest. There are soooo many flaws and I’ve since made several other pieces. But I wanted to post this to show that if you put your mind to it, you can do anything! I’m in love with this piece. Thank you so much for the plans!

Took the dimensions for the little helper towers and used the 24 inch width so it can accommodate two kids. Built two of these for my nephew, one for his house and one for my parents. Took 3 days of work, so I must not be as efficient as everyone else, but boy does he love them. Been eating all of his meals in his "tower" ever since he got them. Makes the effort worth it! One note: I couldn't get the pocket screws to work at all, ended up destroying a few pieces of wood which required an extra trip to the lumber yard. I would suggest just using counter bores.
I was inspired by Handymommy's set, using the arm chairs instead of the standard ones, so thanks to you!
The wood I had was all rough cut 1 x 6's so I had to adjust the plans a bit.
I added folding screens to my garden bed to prevent my dog to go in it. It can also discourage hares, cats and other animals. The folding screens make it easy to work in your garden.
We are a title one school located in Colorado springs C.O.. We have been using your plans for the past six years and find them accurate and affordable to build . The pictures are Jrs and Srs projects . Woodshop would not be a woodshop with out your generous helping plans . THANK YOU.

Created the small easy rustic x bench, it was super easy to build even with all the small angles. Very good plans, the video was also nice to watch before getting started especially since I made mine 36" long and the handy tip on how to cut the cross braces helped. I also decided to use a 2x12 for the bench top as opposed to the 1x12 because it felt even more rustic to me.
I designed and built this "Caribbean Inspired" outdoor patio set based on the plans for the "Vintage Bar Stool". Once the stools were built, I designed the table to fit the height of the stools. The table top has stone mosaic tile and all surface are painted bright Caribbean colors. I do need to add the finishing touch of a cooler on the bottom shelf, but that's coming!
My wife wanted to seat 14, so I basically doubled the plan with a few extra inches on each side. We also wanted umbrellas, so drilled holes where they would just meet. The stain is the Behr semi-transparent deck stain and sealer in Harbor grey.
We camp a lot in our travel trailer and until now we’ve always used a coffee mug to move our utensil around and keep them easily accessible; the problem was, that coffee mug was constantly falling over! I saw this and knew I HAD to make one.
Made this with scrap 2x6 and 2x4 boards which cause the measurements to be a bit different, but the results were still great! Super easy and gonna be very useful!!!
This is a revised kids table plan. I needed a plant stand. It is 36 inches tall and the top is made from 1 × 4's. The top is about 11 x 14. What did I learn from this?. The top is so small it was hard getting the kreg dill bit in to screw in the Kreg screws. I should have thought of that. Also learned that you dont get a tight fit if you have to take out the screws. 2nd time they dont grab and hold as tight. Overall I'm happy the way it turned out. But lots of room to improve.

Loved doing this as my first ever building project. Ana's plans made it easy and I found a tutorial for making the cushions at Sew Mama Sew. It's not perfect but we love it because it seats so many people comfortably and is exactly the right size for our patio. (All of our friends have complimented it like crazy, too!)

You did such an awesome job on this. And it's your first project -- wow, it looks like it came right out of a furniture store and cost thousands! The piping on your cushions is a wonderful touch and it looks so flawless. Just beautiful!

Wow, this is really great. I love that color - How did you do the stain/paint? Is it meant for outdoor use?
Simple outdoor lounge chair for use on our deck. This is a good design though if I had to do it over again I would make a few alterations:
- It's a bit flimsy, so for the chair frame, I would use 2x4's instead of 1x's.
- We are going to use them for seating at our patio table so I will make the others a bit shorter. The depth is awfully big for a dining chair but would be good for lounging.
- Used a 1x4 on the inside of the back frame to make the chair back more upright (as it said in the modified plans) would definately recomend.
