Made this bed using the Fire truck bed plane.. Thanks to the simple easy plan from you, made this build sure easy. About 9 hours tine to build and paint. Appox. Cost was about $280.

This was a very easy build and I love the way it turned out - Tim

My very first woodworking project was Ana-White's farm house bed! I've made so many projects now, I decided to start fancy'ing up my backyard!. We took all pressure treated wood to make the wall foundation, painted it, sealed it, then used Screw on Holds to make the climbing portion.

I have a full tutorial listed here http://www.impatientlycrafty.com/2013/05/07/diy-backyard-climbing-wall/

Thanks Ana for helping inspire me to create more wood stuff!!!

Just moved to Germany and needed an entertainment center. Looked at furniture stores and everything was either extremely expensive or IKEA particle board junk. 

My husband and I found out about Hornbach, basically Home Depot or Lowes of Germany.

Found all the materials and some tools with the help of the English speaking staff. 

Used some pretty cool looking butcher block type wood they had that was reasonably priced. Didn't recognize any of the stain brands so picked a color and crossed our fingers.

Overall one of my easiest projects and a fun experience here in Europe. 

My husband built me this beautiful farmhouse desk for my guest bedroom! Thank you for the plans! I am in love with it and now enjoy working on grad school homework!

Gave the plans to my father-in-law who built it for our daughter. Turned out great with no real issues with the plans! I love having the lid/seats built into the design.

I changed the height of the Connor Side Table to that of a bathroom vanity and added an apron to hide the underside of the sink.  I carefully built the vanity to be level, then discovered that the underside of the sink surround is wavy (apparently they are made by being poured into an upside down mold, hence the wavy surface).  I added trim at the top of the vanity to hide the shims stabilizing the sink top.  Thx to Rogue Engineer for the well-written plans, and thx to Ana White for your Kreg pocket hole jig video.  It made me feel confident I could pull this off!

Still waiting to add the stained jail sign. But a dad's twist to a mom's honey do project added the porch to the front to catch my youngest if he falls out of bed. 

I admired this project the first time I saw it, I thought about building it for a few months and got the opportunity when my Fiance left town. I completed this project in a weekend with a had from my friend (more just to hold the pieces where I needed them). I had previously built her a hope chest out of a Rare and Beautiful tongue and groove pine, I used the same wood for the head and foot board so they would match. Overall these plans were great, I changed a few things to make it a little more what I wanted. I made the foot board 24" in height with a total of 20" of tongue and groove. I also used some wrought head nails to give a little more character to the piece as well, you can find them here, http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=1152 . I wont do too much to the piece, more than likely just add a couple coats of shellac to match the previously mentioned hope chest. I hope you all enjoy this project as much as I did.

My friends are all having kids these days, and I had a lot of scrap 1x6 kicking around. 

After applying a stain on the boards, I printed the letters and numbers as large as I wanted them. I used ''French Script MT'', size of font 185 and I cut them out to make a template.

I happened to have some chalk board paint, which gives it a nice mat color. 

I recommend to leave enough space for baseboards, in my case Ive started numbering the charts at 8'' high. A picture hook is set in the back to hang it on the wall, you could also simply screw it on the wall. 

Its quick to make and doesnt require a lot of cutting!

This table and bench was a first build for me and my husband. We had so much fun working on it together that we can't wait to figure out what our next project will be. Would probably not take as much time the next time we did something. Fairly inexpensive but we splurged on the thick reclaimed wood for the tops to add the character we wanted.

I made these for my Mother's Day present to myself. I painted them the color of Carrots and Lettuce. Working on the third one titled "tomatoes today." Easy to build, fun and quick....

Queen sized storage bed in width for  a full sized mattress. I wanted this against the wall, so i put both sets of drawers on one side and hinged the footboard for access underneath. 

I really enjoyed building this toy box! I used rockler torsion hinges on this and loved how smooth they moved and the install. Thank you for the inspirational plans!!
