I loved how these little crates turned out. I used scrap wood that I've had for so long..It's 2 different kinds of wood though which is why I painted them. I ran out of 1x6 boards so I used a 1x12 for the bottom. I hope my daughter's teachers will like them. I filled the cubbies with various little things like candy and Christmas ornaments.

I made the coffee table earlier this year and love it. It holds so much and it's filled to the brim with toys.

I combined the Narrow Farmhouse Table plan with some changes and Bluedinosaurs tutorial for making a sewing table. http://bluedinosaurs.com/diy-platform-sewing-table/  It came out beautifully!

Thanks for the great plan!!

2x4's and 2x8's kept my cost way down! The top was finished with minwax provincial stain and a few coats of minwax polyurethane to finish it off. Joined with my Kreg jig throughout. A very fun project!

We recently purchased a foreclosure on thirty-five acres and have been diligently rehabbing the property. (That's why the picture shows missing wall trim and unsealed floors!) We needed a desk in order to reclaim our dining table so I decided to build this one. I love how it turned out and it is perfect for our needs.

Our attic bedroom had no closet space or storage. I designed a system with shelves and hanging space along one end wall. A freestanding vanity table was discovered at a Habitat ReStore, which fit the space perfectly. One side of shelves is for clothing, the other side is for books and display. A long shelf across the entire top serves as the closet rod as well as display space.

Lots of pocket holes

Dear Ana,

I was absolutely inspired by your fireplace shiplap wall project. After pondering a couple of years to get started on it, I finally brought it to life.

I wanted a rather thin design so I modified it to my taste creating a depth of only 7” inches (2 x 3 1/2 studs). Included a cutout frame for a soundbar and added rear LED lighting.

Very proud of it! Thank you for the motivation, your plans and guidance.

Cheers!

My inlaws were building a beach house on the coast of NC. After years of going to the beach for family vacation and always renting houses that had water access and boat access, but no where to clean fish when we would return from the pier or boat, I decided to embark on a mission. I was introduced to the Kreg Jig work bench plans and felt that I could adapt this plan into what I wanted to do. I used all pressure treated lunber (including the plywood) and stainless steel fasteners. This did increase the cost, but was necessary for the intended location. I purchased a slab of cutting board material from USplastics.com (24" x 48") and glued and screwed it to the plywood bench top. I then mounted a bar sink and faucet for cold water access and it can either be set up on a dock to drain directly back into the water, or a 5 gallon bucket can be placed below the drain, obviously it could be piped to the drain system of the house also. It came out great. Father in law loved it, and I can't wait to see it get good use.

This is my second table which I built for our new home in the Olympic  Penninsula. Moved closer to our kids when we retired.  It was wonderful to have our kids, their spouses and friends gathered around the table for dinner, conversation and laughs.

This was a custom build for one of my clients in San Diego, CA (Encinitas). She wanted a 9 foot buffet to store all of her kid's toys in :).

We came up with the design, and I built it right before my wedding (probably my most stressful build! haha).

I’m old bloke 85 been retired over 20 years now and widowed found plenty of time on my hands so made a rocking horse for a friend about 15 years ago it sorted of snow balled from there now I’m up to no.35 and couple still in line I use pallet wood  - Bob

Bed built off of plans. For one person this was a big job to finish in 3 days, but I was able to get it done before Christmas.

I doubled the size of the shelves for more storage and made 2 drawers instead of one.  Loved building this and your plan.  Don't think it turned out bad at all for my first time. This looks great in my new remodeled kithcen and all who have seen it love it and are amaze I built it myself. Thanks for sharing your plan.
