My first project ever was the red picnic table about a year ago and have built many more as housewarming/kid's bday gifts. This Christmas, instead of buying my daughter more toys, I decided to build her a playhouse. Not only was it a very special gift for her but also freed up space in my house being able to put her play kitchen, table, and other toys in it. The small changes we made were the size of the deck to better fit our available space and the shutters (made out of scrap 1x2s and hinged to close with a hook and eye). We put down 3/4" treated plywood as the base and then used 1 box of vinyl plank flooring that looks like wood to hold up to the Texas humidity. I eventually want to make accordion-like shutters for the front window but have up a bug curtain (used for regular size doorways and closes together with magnets) that I cut in half to fit. We have bad mosquitoes here in Texas! I also added a wireless doorbell.
Bought a bundle of lath just to see how it would work. Cut great and took the stain perfectly. Since the snowflakes are going up against a pale green house, I kept them dark so they would stand out. Made five and have a ton of lath left over. Made them 33" wide. Great plan, thanks!
I made the miter saw cart today. It took me about 2.5 hrs, but I was going slow and taking lots of breaks.

Looks great! I really, really need to build one these. Are you happy with the way it works?
We made this table from the original Balin Console table plans, but faced out the drawer fronts with some mitered trim and added some drawer stops inside to keep the drawers from falling out when pulled all the way.
The drawers were made with a cabinet grade plywood along with the sides and bottom of the table. We used 1x8s on the console top to get that nice wood look, where all corners and ends would be showing, but for the sides and bottom of the table, since the edges were all trimed out, the plywood worked out nicely.
The legs seemed plenty sturdy without the extra trim, so we skipped that to get a more simple look.
Drawer handles were found at our local Home Depot.
For the finish, we stained (with Minwax ebony) the edges where we wanted distressing, then wiped on vaseline along edges and painted over in Behr Swiss Coffee (white) in matte. After drying we took sandpaper to the edges to show the dark stain through. Because we used matte paint, after everything was finished, we waxed with a clear wax and buffed for a nice shine and a smooth texture.
This is from your plans for your favorite chaise lounge chairs only I beat them up 2 x 6 Bass four by four legs and 5 quarter tops also change the tops so they're all the same directions this made it a lot sturdier for heavier folks of course my dog Dozer thanks I made them just for him thanks for the great plans
First project and very happy with outcome! Little trouble with top trim not lining up with the top piece of mdf, but it give them a rustic look so it's not a big problem. Now that my husband sees that it is possible to build good furniture in our tiny apartment, I can begin planning my next project!
P.s.- Homedepot guy says thank you for handy cut list and mdf chart!
Made this cute little bed for my three year old Granddaughter....she absolutely loves it!!!
This was the first table that I built and turned out great.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this homeschool bookshelf my husband made from your plans! THANK YOU! We homeschool three children and the clutter was overwhelming! This bookshelf provides storage and a beautiful accessibility to supplies without the clutter! THANK YOU!

Nothing beats functional and beautiful! Thank you for sharing:)
This was a part of my recent bathroom remodel (new floor tile, shower tile, toilet, and vanity). The plans came out of looking at my favorite home sites, which for this were Ana White and Remodelaholic, and realizing that the vanities in my price were were cheap and not that cheap.
The vanity build itself didn't take that long but had to be done is small segments due to lack of one giant clump of time. Total wood cost was around $60, plus $5 for the gloss polyurethane, $60 for the sink (clearance) and $100 for the faucet. More importantly, the vanity fits the space that I had in the efficient bathroom.

I absolutely love this! What modifications did you come up with to make the door?
Here is the latest Table I have made. I cant get enough of this table design, the rustic bold feel blending with curved lines is awesome.
I've been doing only little projects here and there, so when I got an order for a bench, I was a little apprehensive, but of course I said YES! I immediately started scouring the web for ideas on how to, and what the cost would be to build. I came across Ana White's modern bench design and knew this was the one. I priced out all the materials and gave my customer a quote which she, without hesitation, accepted. The next day, I took a trip to the local lumber yard and purchased all I needed. Now, here's where I messed up a bit. Like I said, I priced everything out before purchasing. Well, I priced out the wrong 1x6s which threw me almost $35 over my original budget. Womp womp, right? I still made a little profit. But this bench cost me $100 to build. The customer ordered this bench for her garden and wanted it to be stained rather than painted. So, the wood, the decking screws, waterseal, and the outdoor waterproof stain and sealer was my purchase for the build. Totally worth it! The bench turned out great! I am delivering it to her in a couple of hours from now and I cannot wait for her to see it. I think it turned out beautiful especially for my first! Thank you, Ana, for making the design so easy to follow!
Basically, I was on the hunt for a bakers rack, but jumped on the site and saw this. I modified it a bit. Turned out cool with the decor.
This was my first woodworking project.
The inspiration for the project came from the "Dark Mahogany Chase Chunky" headboard from World Market. At $300 (at the time) it was out of my price range. But after looking at it for a while, I decided I could do it myself.
I used and modified several of Ana White's headboard plans to come up with the final (rough) idea.
I used 3 2x3 boards for the frame, a 3/4" thick piece of plywood for the body (which I had cut at the hardware store) and a 1x2 to top the plywood. I was just going to paint the whole thing but I found these bamboo placemats and decided to incorporate them into the project. At $1 each why not? I used 3/4"x1/2" S4S Moulding for the grid.
the cost of materials was about $66 but I had enough plywood left over for another headboard.

I really took a lot of ideas from different headboard plans from Ana's site and from what I could figure out about the headboard from World Market.
I used 1x3's at 48" for the sides and a 1x3 at 52" for the cross rail attached with glue and 2 2-1/2" PH screws (1 1/2" PHs) on each side. I also used a 1x2 at 52" to "cap" the plywood using just brad nails and glue
I had the 3/4" plywood cut to 52"x30" at the hardware store. The plywood started at 13.5" up from the bottom. It's attached to the side rails with 7 1-1/4" PH screws (3/4" PHs) per side.
The placemats I found were 18"x13" so 4 fit across just fine. I've also found other vinyl placemats w/ awesome designs that could work.
I used 3/4"x1/2" S4S Moulding to basically just cover the seems though I think any kind of small moulding could work. I used brad nails to attach them (next time I may do it from behind so there are no nail holes to fill).
Here's a picture of another headboard I'm making w/ a similar design but with a larger gap so the side rails are at 52" instead of 48". http://i.imgur.com/nGH369f.jpg http://i.imgur.com/N8ARznD.jpg
I'm painting this one as well. I think if I were going to stain it, I'd opt for a nice birch or oak plywood instead and do the wood conditioner first so the stain goes on a bit more even.
My wife asked me to make a pair of these to go with the outdoor table I built

This bench came out great. I love the finish.
I am going to be building one of these soon. I have been trying to think of a clean way to attach the little "y" pieces without the back of the bench looking too messy. How did you attach yours?
Took a weekend when I got time off of work. Would do things differently the next time and love the kreg jig. Will be buying the kreg jig clamps soon.
We needed a space saving alternative to individual twin beds...these were very simple to make. Our boys love them! We kept the same deminsions as the original plans and ended up having a little extra room on each bed for storage as well as toy storage under the second bed. Worked out very nicely and left space for the next project...a study station :)
Loving this tall entertainment center to fit under my wall-mounted television!
The dogs cant knock over my photos anymore!!!!
Added some fancy trim pieces in the middle to match the trim on the bottom. So sturdy and hides all my junk!
