Lemonade Stand for Fundraiser
![](/sites/default/files/fundpin.jpg)
One of my daughters recently was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. We are raising money to get a Service Dog for her and I was able to throw together this awesome Lemonade Stand from your plans, Ana. Thanks for the fun and QUICK project that will hopefully help my daughter with her fundraising goals. {Son not included with lemonade :)}

The Best Console Table
I first saw this project on Shanty-2-Chic's website and fell in love with it. It was my first furniture build. In my area (near Toronto, Ontario, Canada) I couldn't find 4 x 4s unless they were treated. So I used 2 - 2 x 4s instead and made the minor adjustments necessary.
I chose casters that don't rotate but screwed the back two in pointed inward so that my children can't easily move the table around if they are playing near it and bump into it.
This is my favourite piece that I've made so far.

Thanks for the plans!

Ana, thanks for the plans! I modified mine to have more of a roof to give my son more play space and added a toybox at the "back" of the boat. Still need to pick up sand but has turned out great so far! I think it will be the starting point for a full playset.

Twin Farmhouse Bed
![](/sites/default/files/3154841869_1392606862.jpg)
My dad and I built this twin farmhouse bed for my three-year-old son. I used no-mortise bed brackets from Rockler Woodworking and modified the plan by adding slat brackets mounted directly to the rails with 1x3 slats.

I built this for my 3 year old so I made stairs to replace the ladder.

Farmhouse Side Table
![](/sites/default/files/3154809680_1336309132.jpg)
I decided to build this bedside table for a friend of mine who just graduated from college as a special graduation gift. I thought it was a beautiful plan, and knew she would love it. This table was fairly easy to build and easy to finish. I ran into problems with the shelf, at first I decided to just add 1x2's around the bottom, but didn't like that and then built the shelf with a "frame" around it. It turned out nice, I hope she likes it.

Rustic Farm Table
We needed a sturdy table that we could put our son up to. We looked around at a few different options and discovered this plan that we could build on our own for the same price it would have cost us to buy a used table. I have built a few small things like a bookshelf and a headboard, but this is by far the biggest project I have ever done. It took about 5 hours on a Friday afternoon and about 8 hours on a Saturday to get the construction and first coat of stain on. After that we put 3 coats of a satin polyurethane on over the course of the next several days. We are really happy with how this turned out and it was a relatively simple project.

Chicken run

Or use the same plans with the exception of I extended the height so I could actually walk into the run fairly simple to assemble I would strongly recommend an air compressor staple gun or you'll end up with four arms like Popeye

Small Balustrade Coffee Table

This might be my favorite build yet! We made some minor modifications to the plan since we only needed a 2’ x 3’ table. The legs were ordered from Osborne Wood - delivery was super quick and they make the table! The plan was easy to follow. I still can’t get over how much I love the final product!

Rhyan Console Table
I made this Console table for our entrance way! I modified the plans by adding an extra 10" in height and included a second shelf. We are now using the bottom for a shoe rack and the middle for hats, mitts and stuff! It's a perfect fit for our front entrance!
It was my first time with drawers so I had a bit of trouble. But they open and close and aren't too lopsided, so I guess they are a success! Love these plans!

. They were made exactly according to the above referenced plans.
Kentwood Bookshelf, kid version
![](/sites/default/files/bb24bc2cd1080a7014a26d1c444f8a12.jpg)
I have built three of these so far: one for my daughter, one for her best friend, and one for my cousin's son for their baby shower (books instead of cards). I've modified it and tweaked it a little each time but the overall finished product is basically the same. It's about 36" tall but the same width and depth as the Kentwood plan. I put the one shelf tall enough so that the biggest books can live on the bottom. I used beadboard for the backing but I think the next time I'll use either 1/4" plywood or common boards and Kreg them together. This takes less than a day to build and less than $40 in lumber. Easy to make, easy to assemble, and endless possibilities to finish.

Custom Hutch Cabinet

My wife asked if I could build this, showed me the pictured. Well, I’ve never built something that big before but I’ll give it a try. I took the time to draw it all out and get all the measurements down before hand, and it all turned out pretty nice. Most importantly my wife loved it! We paid someone to paint it, because I know my limitations lol.

shoe shrine shelves: first project
I searched for nice shoe storage for ages and found these plans on this awesome website and even though it is an intermediate project I gave it a try. As you can see my drawers and the whole thing in general is squint but I am proud of my first ever build project. It took me 2 evenings to complete.
I added some drawers for my jewelry like one by balard designs.
I hope my next project has better right angles and joints.
Oh and I used a Kreg jig and it is amazing!!!
I used white shelves from the home store, that I cut to size. I live in Saudi Arabia so wood is not so easy to find. Maybe I can use palm trees next time!
Little Helper Tower
While our daughter initially freaked out at the thought of standing on this, she is starting to come around. The adjustable level will make this a mainstay next to our kitchen island for the next few years.
