Built this great pergola from Anna's Weatherly Pergola Plan. I am very pleased on how it turned out. This was a fairly simple build and I added a few of my own touches to it. I used Red Cedar as my wood of choice. I also added a great Olympic Stain + Sealer to help keep it looking brandnew. I hope y'all enjoy the pictures.

wife and I call this our memory garden bench. our son passed away last year he was a SFC in the us army. we sit upon to remember all the good times.

Hubby and I built this as our first build! It's a modified version of your farmhouse table. We spliced together your farmhouse table plans and a plan for a desk with "x" legs. We modified the dimensions to fit our formal dining room. We just hosted our first ever Thanksgiving dinner at our new home, and fed my whole family on this table. Everyone loved it! Thanks for the inspiration!

Headboard with tongue and groove boards for the face.

Built to go with my farm house table. It looks amazing.

I was inspired by Ana's Over the Toilet - Leaning Storage Ladder to create my own!  This build is about as easy as it can get!  Just 3 easy steps. More pictures and details can be found HERE.

Let's chat wood!

Lumber:

(2) 8' - 2x4

(1) 8' - 2x6

(1) 8' - 2x8

Step 1:

Drill pocket holes into ladder legs.

Step 2:

Attach shelves with 2" wood screws.

You will attach your smaller 2x6 shelf at 17" from the top of each ladder leg and your larger 2x8 shelf at 34" from the top of each ladder leg as well.

I plugged each hole with 3/4" pine wood plugs.

Step 3:

Sand and paint

Happy building!

My wife and I were perplexed about what to get my 2nd daughter for her 3rd birthday. We were also tired of all the plastic around the house. I was browsing and saw your kitchen plans.

Interestingly, one year ago we remodeled our main kitchen when my wife was 8 months pregnant. So we used our kitchen as the model and built a smaller scale version for my daughter. Complete with stainless appliances and accessories. The counter/backsplash was the sink punch out from our main kitchen counters that I kept after I installed them.

My daughter was thrilled with the way it turned out!

Custom Kitchen Island with a butcher block top and reclaimed pallet wood on the sides and back. Sliding barndoors cover the lower cabinets and hammered black gate knobs finish out the upper drawer. 

I added a small attached desk to the Camp Loft bed plans and framed a 1/2 inch sheet of scrap plywood painted with chalkboard paint. i then Reused an old "hanging herbs" fixture bought from IKEA for art supplies. My daughter calls it her "Art Studio"!!

I fell in love with the Ballard Designs Turin bookshelf. But it was way too expensive and not the right size for my space. So I made up my own version!

Made from plywood with a poplar face frame. For the side panels I just nailed on poplar rails & stiles, then routed a simple cove molding with my router. The base molding and crown molding I bought by the foot from HD. I routed the fluting on the face frame with a hand held palm router and a small U-groove bit.

I saw a picture of marble machine years ago and I finally got around to trying to make my own. I seriously had doubts about getting it working; so I didn’t want to invest money in nice wood. Therefore, besides the dowels, everything you see was made from a scrap 2×4.

As expected, it was a challenge to get mechanism worked out. I had to remake the cup and adjust the pivot point but I eventually got it working as shown in video.
