Very easy to put together... Only hard cuts were the X's. we ended up doing it like the pictures, not the plan. Stain is tricky, make sure to practice! We ended up having to resand and restain the tabletop.

My son used to have a flimsy headboard and frame that drove me crazy so I decided to build him a bed from these plans. I couldn't be happier with his bed. I used pocket holes and everything has been holding up quite nicely. Love these plans.

Check it out on iamhardware.com ! Thanks Ana for the plans!

My wife came to me a couple of months ago and asked me to build a corner cabinet for our family room. She had found inspiration through a picture on pinterest that she "had to have." I found a couple of old doors through a resale shop near our house and this is what I was able to make with them.

This was a little tougher than I thought it would have been. I have done crown molding before, however, I have never done a floating crown (no support on the top). I was able to use my nail gun and get a solid fit on the bottom of the crown and then glued a support strip behind the crown.

The shelves are made out of 3/4" ply with a birch veneer facing. Surprisingly easy to use with just a little measuring and a hot iron set to the cotton setting.

Again, another project that would have been made infinitely harder without my kreg jig.

Let me know what you guys think!

Modified the plan in order to use 12 inch drawer slides and to fit the 1X24x48 project panel found at Lowes. The 2 inch swivel casters and drawer hardware were found at Home Depot.

Simple to build, took longer to paint it than it did to build it!

Built this table using the Ana White plans everything worked great.

This is one of the coolest things I've ever built! My husband was so proud of me. :) I recently completed built-in bookcases in our 3rd bedroom/office and those were neat and much more complicated, but I think he likes this better because he sleeps next to it every night. This only took about 2 hours to build, but the staining made for a weekend project by the time it was completed and dry. We've gotten a TON of compliments on this and even had friends ask for me to make them one! Thanks, Ana!

Build Instructions:

http://www.instructables.com/id/Mason-Bee-House/

Native mason bees can be housed to protect them from pests, diseases and predators. They are excellent early season pollinators for orchards and other early season fruit crops. Mason bees can do more work than non-native honey bees, even on a cloudy rainy day. Also, mason bees are solitary non-aggressive bees, which makes them ideal for folks with pets or children. The initial step for the care of mason bees is to build a nest block or mason bee house.

This took me and my father a few weekends to complete simply because that is all the time I had to work on it (was the weekends). We put a lot of effort into it and made sure everything was neat and safe. We modified the original plan a bit to give some more boy feel to this bed, and we added window bars to keep my children from climbing out of them. You know boys! We also added a window on the far side of the top bunk. We should have added one to the bottom too since it is so dark, but he likes it anyway!

P.S. The estimated cost was for the bed only, not the mattresses or stain

I'm just a novic so this was a challenge and lots of fun! I Made this one and just finished. I used oak plywood, oak lid, rocklar hinges, stained and poly coated ever thing about 3 times. Looks great!  Those hinges a expensive but work great.

Made this for our 3rd daughter for Christmas. I had finials, but ended up liking the look of the crib better without them. It was so fun to build and my daughter was super excited Christmas morning! Thanks!

This was my first build, I never picked up a drill until now, but my mom really wanted something nice to hold her microwave but everywhere we looked for an island that would support it was just to flimsy so when I saw these plans and how cute it looked I told her I'm gonna build you this. I didn't add a drawer manly to force my family from putting junk in there that doesn't belong in a kitchen. I had a lot of fun building this and definitly learned a lot. Thanks for the plans.

This dog bed was built with furniture grade pine and stained in Minwax Golden Oak.  I added stairs and a storage drawer in the bottom.

This was my first Anna White experience. It was a great beginner project. My husband was even impressed with the results. I was a little scared of the Menwax Ebony stain, but I applied it with a rag (several coats) and it came out very even. I used paste wax to finish off the project and it turned out great. I'm soooo proud of myself. I hope I don't sound too obnoxious, but it was just so much fun, and I was so surprised that I could build something that looked this professional. Ok, shutting up now. :-)
