We made a few alterations to these plans. Added lift up hinges.
Had to buy a new washer and dryer several months ago and wanted the front loaders. I was unwilling to pay $600 for the pedestals at the hardware store so I had been dealing with them on the floor until I found this plan. Built these and absolutely LOVE them. No more killing my back getting laundry done. These sit higher than the ones from the hardware store so even better!!! I keep 3 laundry baskets underneath.
I had a friend that loved the 48" long truss style farm bench. However, she wanted one 8' long. I modified the "2X4 Truss Style Farm Bench" and came up with this design. As you can see, she want a very specific stain color combination.
I made these for my 81 year-old Grandma, and I will be making some for my own front yard soon. I followed the plans and ripped the fence boards instead of buying the optional 1x2s. My awesome dad showed me how to use the table saw, but the rest I did all by myself! We decided to leave them unfinished for a natural look. It took me about 7 hours total broken up to make all three, but this is my first project and I was slow. Thanks Ana, for inspiring this working Mom to pick up a hammer and get stuff done!
Built the porch swing and was inspired to build the glider frame by another "Brag Post" Looks great and fits perfectly in my back yard!

Are there any dimensions for the glider part? I have first year agriculture students building this, but we are unsure of the cut list for this. I am sure I can figure it out as the teacher, but with 20 students in the class, it would be better to be able to give them instructions to follow on paper. Thank you!!!
I was really into building things and DIY over 10 years ago, but due to work/life I hadn't done anything since 2009. I was going pretty crazy working from home during the pandemic, and decided to get back into home improvement to have something to look forward to. After doing some painting and building a few accent walls out of shiplap and reclaimed wood (and loving it), I decided to turn my single car garage into a shop. This is when I found Ana White, and absolutely loved the plans and videos around the wall storage and workbench. I can't believe how sturdy everything is, how straightforward the plans are, and how well this turned out. It made me want to build all the things, and I'll be taking on many projects in the future. (my apologies for the pictures being in the wrong orientation - can't seem to adjust them)
Used Ana’s Toy/TV armoire plans, tweaked the dimensions to make it a bit taller. Added drawers and a hanger rod inside. Found deer antler used for handles. Color and cosmo wallpaper thanks to my wife. Perfect for a quirky old cabin in Colorado. My first attempt at furniture. Thanks!

This was my first attempt at building a greenhouse. I wanted my cucumbers to be able t climb high so I made the house higher than the plans showed. It's also a little larger too. Since I am in Europe my dimensions are in meters. The overall size is 3 x 6 meters. I also built it on top of 100mm x 100mm lumber (the equivalent of 4x4's). It took 5 sheets of 6mm thick polycarbonate in 2 x 6 meters.
Several years ago, the first woodworking project I finished was the Vintage Step Stool built with plans by Ana White. I use the step stool just about every day. I had some scrap lumber taking up space in my garage, so I decided to use it to build another step stool. Check out the blog link for more project details.
Keep in mind I am a novice at best and this took me a total of 12 hours over 2 days to construct and stain and line. Filling will be a separate project all together!
I opted to remove the top row of lumber all around to have something to attach bird netting to to keep the critters out and make it easier to reach in, also a cost consideration. The posts are still the recommended 3 ft I also changed to 12ft X1in boards instead of 12ft x2in also in the interest of cost.

Gorgeous! You're going to have some very happy plants!
This is our 2nd project - we liked building the bookshelf so much, we decided we're gonna keep going and need a good workbench. Got these plans from the Family Handyman Website (http://www.familyhandyman.com/DIY-Projects/Woodworking/Workbenches/how-…). They claim the cost to be $50, but it was closer to $80 for us - still a GREAT project and easy to put together with the nail gun.

No working link. Cannot find this or the plans.
Built this for some dear friends ... turned out so pretty.
Very nice bench. I have now made three. This one is grey washed red cedar.
I'm a beginner DIYer and I knew one day I was going to have to make a workbench. I made mine 24x48 so I wanted a little more support to hold up the drop down leaf. I searched your site and found another plan with these gatelegs and knew this is what I wanted. I love the way it came out. What do you think?
Classic king farmhouse bed build
Modified corner cupboard to use as corner bookshelf in boys room. Omitted the lower doors otherwise shelf cut to specs. Painted with bold blue to match boys colors.
I used some of the measurements that I found on your site and downsized them to fit my needs. The table was a wedding gift for my granddaughter. She and her new husband were very pleased. Thanks for your help.
We (my husband and I) were in desperate need of a better work space, and this was perfect.
This project was based on the A frame chicken coop. I changed the dimensions to metric with the main frame being 3m long and each side of the frame being 1.7m. The 2x4 was from reclaimed decking with new 2x2 for shorter pieces.
I added a chicken door (with a rope to open and close) and an egg door (with a tower bolt) at each end of the enclosed chicken house section at the top. The chicken house has a removable roosting bar and space for the nesting boxes. One of the bottom sections has a hinged frame to allow easy access to the run.
The hardest part was fixing wire netting to the inside as there wasn't much room to swing a hammer to put the fixings into the wood. I used a mix of 13mm and 25mm mesh and welded 50mm framing. There is wire mesh all the way round the outside to stop foxes digging into the run.
I absolutely love this project. I do not have a pantry with a door so I just placed this spice rack on my wall and it really looks great! We have a ton of spices so I might need to make another!

hi - I'm thinking of building this to hang on a wall like you have. Do you think the dowels are necessary? Seems like it would give a little more shelf room without the dowels - but do you feel like the spices would fall out without them?
thanks!
Perfect vanities! When I couldn’t find exactly what I was looking for, I searched online for vanity plans and thankfully your site and these vanities popped up. I love all the storage with these, so much better than ANYTHING pre built we looked at online. We had seen vanities that I was going to settle for but they were around $3,000, and I didn’t love them, so my husband said he could build something and this was the result using your plans. I am so thankful and the whole project was a fraction of the cost! I stained them with a vinegar and steel wool stain with poly over it. I couldn’t be more grateful for you and your generosity of plan sharing. Thank you!

These are very pretty. Any chance he recalls what type of wood used?
