This was my first project. I actually made 2. One for my niece and one for a friend's daughter.
This is my first completed project. I repurposed an old four poster bed frame. I used the posts for the legs (they are a bit skinny). I spent about 10 dollars on the slats. Everything else was from my garage. A pocket hole jig and an orbital sander would have made this a lot easier. Sorry about the photo rotation. I can't seem to change that!

You did a great job on this! Can't wait to get started on my own! :)
I came across the plans for the pate rack and realized it would be a perfect fit in my dining room. My house is just shy of its 100th birthday and I have been tackling renovation one room at a time. I have been trying to find new ways to use all of the materials that have been removed or replaced during my renovation. I was able to use the damaged shiplap and warped baseboards from my first room's renovation and create a plate rack shown.
Thank you for the plans!

I made this for a friend who just didn't want to spend upwards of $600-1000 for a large 42"x42" coffee table. Hmmmm... I wonder why?
I'd seen Ana's plan for the turned leg table and thought I could make something nice that would be more in their price range.
I always tell the people I build for that they'll have something pretty and functional - unless or until they decide to add it to their burn pile. So far, there haven't been any fires.
We needed storage for my son's room, and this project provided the perfect shelves for all those legos.
used a keg jig so all screws are hidden underneath. Lots of sanding, but was worth it for the finish though.
Already made the Rustic-X Coffee table and End tables, so I decided to make the Console table with a little twist. The herringbone top just really made the difference. Painted the body with @sherwinwilliams color of the year, Pepprcorn.

Measured 3'6"W X 8'L X 30"Tall, seats 6 to 8. Built it entirely from red oak. I built and upholstered these 8 chairs to go with this table. All the wood I used on all of these dining room furniture you see on this photo came from trees damaged or felled by the April 27 tornado outbreak near where we live.

Lovely! And I like that you used naturally felled wood. You've made lemonade with the lemons!

I'd love to have the plans for the chairs you made as well. I WANT this in my dining room! Beautiful!!!

I'd really like the plans for the chairs that you built to go with this table. I WANT this in my dining room and plan to convince my husband to build it for me. Beautiful!
I wanted to build a piece for my living room that I could add onto later with other matching pieces. This was perfect since it has the matching coffee table, side table, and console table. It was my first time making angle cuts, and not tricky like I thought it would be. This is a very solid piece and fits in nicely with my decor.
The console is tall, perfect as a serving comsole or for a portable BBQ. I used straight stair baulsters for the feet at 34". Fun, quick project. This was my third Furniture project from the Ana White site.

I used the Fancy X Desk plans then made half a desk as a side wing in order to make it fit a corner. I made this for a niece who goes off to college next year, so I made the extra side to be detachable in case she wants to take the table or desk with her but has limited room.
Ultimate baby changing table. Made for new granddaughter who just return from Germany with her soldier daddy and mommy. Thanks to Ana and Jen for plans and emails.
These are just a few of the photos we took while we built our first project. My daughters and I did it over a weekend.
We got 8 pallets from Lowes for FREE, and cut them down to fit two twin sized air mattresses (standard size) from Wal-mart ($15 each). We used about 1.5 pallets for the length, but stacked them two high for a total use of two full pallets, two half pallets, and then the remaining half pallets were used as back supports.
We sanded them after we removed any bad boards or nails.
Then, we used a circular saw to cut them to the appropriate length, added casters to the bottom pallets.
Secured the pallets together with brackets. Secured the back supports together with brackets.
Treated the wood, hated the stain we got at a special price from Menard's, so I decided to cover them with outdoor fabric.
Make the daybed skirts out of a flat sheet and outdoor fabric I got half off at Joanne Fabrics. Haven't sewn in 25 years!
Pretty happy with the first project. Still need to get cuter blankets, but I used what we had in the house.
Pricing:
Pallets free
Brackets and screws came to about $25
I didn't have the circular saw or sander so I had to purchase ($120 with some extra sanding pads)
Fabric $75
Air matresses $32
Sheet sets $20
Total: $275ish but I had sold some of my old patio furniture for $275, so it was a wash! And now, I have a circular saw and an orbital sander! Also, the fabric was optional. Had the pillows at home. Just recovered or took from the storage closet.
Now, onto other pallet projects! I have more pics if needed.

What a great job and so creative. I think it's awesome that you and your daughters did this together. Now, I'm going to go collect pallets.
This is a modified version of the Rustic X Console, it isn't as long as the original.
I created this, with a little help from my Fiance, as a TV console. We have made furniture in the past, with plans from Ana White, but this is my favorite piece so far.
We looked for months for the right piece of furniture that wasn't extremely expensive or made of cardboard. Instead we found the plans for the Rustic X Console and thought it would be the perfect fit. I also created a cubby bookshelf at the same time to store my hundreds of movies.
Eventually our entire living room will be homemade, the next project on our list is the matching coffee table!

Beautiful. We are planning on building this as well and wanted a smaller version. Can you by chance share your measurements? What size TV do you have on the console? Thanks!
I built these benches out of cedar, which added considerable cost to the job. The total cost for four benches (including stain) was about $240. I used clear cedar and Sikkens outdoor stain in chocolate brown. I also modified the plans slightly to create stronger joints, using rabbet and mortise joints and Titebond III (waterproof) glue. This only slightly changed the dimensions, but I think it will make the benches last for years to come. It did add some time to the plans, as I think butt joints would've taken only 2-3 hours total before sand and finish.

Built this for my girlfriend and my apartment. Used a method of painting and sanding and finished with a stain. Still plan to put some sort of protective top coat to give it a more even finish.

Do you remember what color of paint or stain you ended up with? I love the color and am going to be making this piece in the morning.
