I followed the Shed Coop Plans to make this chicken coop and designed my own run. Because I wanted to view the chickens coming in and out of the coop, I moved the chicken door to the front and built a little covered area to shelter the coop door so I did not have to have the entire run extend over the front. I also made the access to the layer boxes be accessible from the front rather than the top so that my kids could more easily access the egg boxes. I thought these were great plans to follow and easy to adapt to fit what I wanted in a coop. I also ended up adding a lean-to storage on the back with an inside access so I could easily refill their feed.
We made this sewing/craft table by combining plans from the modular office. It was a big job but SO worth it! We love your plans and use them all the time!

Added an X on the sides and a mitered 3 inch top frame. Added some color to make it fun and tropical for the lanai.
I made this table and chairs for my 1 year old nephew. He is still a little small for it but the table and chairs are both very sturdy. The table top is a one piece, 24 x 36 ,edge glued pine board. I used the one piece table top as an alternative to screwing the 3 boards together. I followed the plans for the table for the most part. As for the chairs, I followed the plan to build the seat base. For the legs of the chairs I took advise from carongirls' table and chair brag post and used 2x2's. I used 1x3's to stiffen the chair legs. I also lengthened the table legs and chair legs by 2 inches.
This is my second project. (My first was the canopy doll bed.) It just took a couple of days to get it all cut, put together and sanded. This was my first time with the Kreg Jig and I loved using it. So awesome.
My bathroom has very little storage space. So during our recent remodeling of the room, I decided to add this cabinet. Changed the plan a little to make it recessed in the wall. I love how it turned out!

This looks amazing, love how it's recessed! Thankyou for sharing.
Heavy Duty, from reclaimed deck boards!
Especially with having to store active military gear, the huge gorilla trunks, and conveniently having a huge pile of 2x6's from disassembling a small deck . . Worked out perfectly!
Also, because they are heavy and tall, we did anchor them to the wall!
(I personally want to figure out how to add a sliding ladder, haha)
This was all my husband - he did a great job using the modular desk plans to customize (its a bit larger) this desk for our office. He finished it this past weekend so not much on it yet!

WOW, this is so awesome, well done! Thank you for sharing.
I made this simple Bunk bed shelf so all the stuff my son stored on the headboard, wouldn't keep falling off. It was easy to make and I painted it while working on another project. and I used spray paint to get the orange on a little easier!

My daughter asked for a shelf for her bunkbed—something to hold her glasses, IPad, and retainer case. And maybe a book or two. Thanks to Ana White and free plans...I made the shelf that others have made. thanks!
I followed Ana's plans for this Mug Tree stand! I absolutely adore it! Great plans and cute stand.
this.was my first attempt at making furniture. Using Ana's plans.were straightforward and couldnt have done without them. thanks Ana!
Thank you for the plans! Love the shelves!
Built a full size loft bed for my kids but wanted something safer than having them climb up and down a ladder so used the Camp Loft Bed plans to add the platform and stairs. It is much easier for the kids. Going to finish by covering the platform and stairs with carpet.

I really like how the platform is only half way so the stairs are inset, this is very smart and good use of space.
The cover is a tonneau cover for a pickup truck. It's for a 6.5' truck bed so if you notice, I had to ad a 2x4 and one more picket on top to accommodate the extra length.
The cover would add a ridiculous amount of money to the project but it was repurposed. I found it on a truck that was in an accident and going to the scrap yard. I think it it came out great and my grandson loves it.

My wife and I recently built this farmhouse table with her grandpa. It was a lot of fun and we are really happy with how it turned out. The table is 80 inches long, 43 1/2 inches wide, and 31 inches tall. The extensions are 15 inches long and 43/1/2 inches wide, and the bench is 61 inches long, 15 inches wide, and 19 1/2 inches tall.
It tooks us about 4 weekends (around 32 hours) to finish the project and the included rebuilding the base of the table after our first one cracked.
We modified the plans a bit. We used 4x4s instead of glued together 2x4s for the legs on the table and bench.
We also used the plans on this blog (http://tommyandellie.com/?p=2582) as a guide.
This was the first time my wife and I have tired a DIY project and we had a ton of fun. Her grandpa had some experience with wood working and had all of the tools we needed but you can certainly do this without any extensive wood working experience.
Sorry for the duplicate post. This is my first time on the website and the first time I posted it came across as 'guest'

I forgot to mention that with the extensions the table expands to 110 inches.
So... I am a pretty dedicated baseball card collector as well as a new found hobbiest in wood building. It's been an ongoing issue in my household with my baseball cards and boxes cluttering up our dining room. I decided to resolve the issue while still being able to keep my cards in the same room with even easier access without being an eye sore! This just might have saved my marriage! I searched for months for plans for some sort of baseball card cabinet but they just did not exist. The closest I could find for what I was looking for was a storage bench plan here on Ana White. I liked the idea of a top opening for hidden storage. It was too small for what I needed. I then came across plans on another site for an aquarium stand cabinet. I figured the combination of these two projects was what I was looking for. After a week of planing and drafting and 3 weeks of construction/finishing in the little spare time I have, I created what you see. People in the card collecting forums I'm a member of are begging for plans or for me to build them one! Problem is, this is the first thing I have built following my own design and plans. I could pass these on but no one in their right mind would be able to follow my scratches on paper but myself! I'm extremely proud of the outcome but am looking for a way to come up with plans I can share! Hope you all like, and if I can come up with a way to make follow able plans I will share! This was all assembled using the kreg jig system, wood filler to hide the knots and lines where the wood joined and lots of sanding!

If anyone knows of helpful software to design plans in let me know!

Nicely done! How did you make the top? Is that a project board? It's very smooth.
I believe Ana uses "Sketchup" which is a google program to do her designs.

Would you be willing to share some basic dimensions such overall size width, depth, and height and door measurements to get an idea?
In order to make this island a little beafier I used 4x4 wood for the X as well as the the top and bottom braces. Top is made up of glued up 1x3 maple wood. It looked really good raw, but decided to stain it to give a more uniform look. I bought the rustic handles and the bottle opener on Amazon.com. I used lag bolts and washers for the finishing accents...similar to the pottery barn island. Painted them with Rustoleum oil bronzed paint and then dabbed it with a paper towel to give it a rougher finish to it and then sprayed the casters as well. This was a fun project and are getting a lot of use out of it. Thanks goes to Anna for the plans and inspiration for this island. Rich

i keep debating if i should do this, you did a great job. i like the 4x4 sides.
Sun, 06/22/2014 - 08:25
Rich, I love the changes you made with the 4x4's. You made a gorgeous piece of furniture! Can you share with me where/how you attached the drawer/shelf sides? I'd like to follow how you made this, but can't tell from the pictures. On the original they look inset from the 2x4's, but your space is taken up by 4x4's. Would you mind sharing??? Thanks!
Mon, 06/23/2014 - 16:36
So, I ripped the 4x4 cross pieces down by 1/2" so that the side panels would rest inside the rectangle and flush with the 4x4 frame and up against the X.
Did that make sense?
