This project was fun and I learned a ton! I used the Modern Geo Headboard plans and then modified them to fit my room. This was my first project and I'm glad I did it but I should have started with something simpler to learn about my tools and understand the process better. I'm proud of myself and I'm looking forward to my next project. Thanks to Ana for the plans and the inspiration, staying busy during this pandemic is a lifesaver!
Sarah loved your Nested Grill Cart build however, the plans called for a 5 foot wide cart and we only had room for 4 feet on the back deck. Made the appropriate adjustments and went to town. Turned out well and Sarah is quite pleased with how it turned out. Adding a shelf for needed storage.
We made this after making the benchright bench! You can also see the bench in the pictures. Love the table (and bench)! We wrote about the project (step by step) on our blog- http://thehuth.blogspot.com/
Thanks for sharing plans!
My wife and I saw this exact table at restoration hardware for $3000 and I couldn't see spending that on a table. So I decided to take on this project which took about 8-12 hours to complete, building the table and bench was easy, just took a while to sand and stain. When all was said and done I had about $200 wrapped up in it.
I really loved the modern farm table, but we wanted something to fit our square-ish dining room space and still fit 8-12 people to fit our famiy of 8+ company. What we ended up with was a unique statement piece that we absolutely adore. We made some minor changes to the plans to accomodate the changes in size, primarily by using 4x4 posts for the legs and attaching them differently. The table is very sturdy with no wobble. It is very heavy, though! Please see our blog post for details on size, cut list and our building modifications!
Love this picnic table. I have 2 grandchildren, Kayden is 3 and Kinsley is 1. They both love using it.
My son was looking for some type of planter for his front porch and could not find anything that suited him. I seen these plans on your website so my wife and I decided to try and make these for him as a surprise. These are very simple to make by following your plans. Our son loved them and is wanting two more. Thanks Ana.

I built this using a combination of Ana-Whites plans and JenWoodhouse alterations.
I made my tables to fit my sofa so they are only 20" tall.
I made hits for my daughters classroom. Very easy build. The pictures aren't the best, they are cell phone pictures. We were in a hurry to get it done for open house.
Made a farmhouse table for some friends after looking at several posts on here. Calling this the Zebra table.
2x4 sofa with 1 arm sectional.
When my wife told me that our son needed a new bed, I saw that as an opportunity to buy some new tools. After selecting which bed to build from your site, I spent a few hours over the weekend making the loft bed with stairs. Our son loves it! The only thing left to do is decide on a paint color.
I built two of these pegboard organizers for my boys to hang in their rooms. The magnetic chalkboard allows them to write fun messages or doodle, plus they can hang pictures on it with magnets. The pegboard helps keep their smaller toys organized and the hooks keep their hats from being scattered all over the house.
So this is my first post of one of my projects, and super excited to share! I have to say this is one of the most rewarding projects I have ever done. First time Dad and so excited to meet her! My wife is now 35 weeks. I have built many furniture projects in the past but I will admit this one intimidated me more than anything. There are so many safety regulations on cribs and so many stories and blogs online about child safety it made my head spin. I almost let the fear get the best of me and just bought a crib.....but the DIY in me said NO, and here it is! After it is all said and done I couldn't be more happy and a proud Father at the same time! I am still working on finishing this project, so I will add more pics as they come along. We will be painting it a light gray color and top coating with a water based polycrylic. This is made to be convertable, and will also become a Full size bed. Thank you Ana White and other users for inspring us all!

This crib is terrific and just what I am looking to build for my son and daughter in law. Do you have any dimensions or even rough plans you could share? I will certainly work ast sketching m own but if you have something you are willing to share it would serve as a great starting point.
Thanks so much,
Mark

Did you happen to get any plans or dimensions for this project?

My wife and I are going to be first time grandparents in the spring and have been asked by our son and daughter-in-law to build a crib - one just like the one you built. I think it wil be a fun project. Could you share any dimensions, drawings or other pictures rom your build? You can reach me at my email address: [email protected].
Thanks,
Mark

Did anyone ever get additional details or photos? Would really appreciate anything! Have our first coming in about 20 weeks and want to make something awesome like this for him!
I built these a couple of weeks ago - very easy. I did not have a pocket hole jig so I added a 26" 2x4 to attach the pieces behind the back-rest. I don't think is makes it look bad, and it adds some weight which is nice.
I have built 6 so far - 4 for myself and 2 that I gave to friends. the first couple took a while to get the process sorted out but after that they came together in about 30-45 minutes per chair. I did make a couple of mistakes in the cutting initially (forgot to cut angles so I wasted a lot of wood), and then of course the additional piece of 2x4 added to the price.
I love how this table turned out. The plans were simple and easy to follow. I chose to distress the table to give it some character i found a great video on youtube for different distressing techniques here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Iotye7dvAQ For the finish i used the tea and vingegar method then to make it darker i rubbed on a little oil based stain and finished it with polyurethane.

It is probobly best to use both the tea and the vinegar because when they are both used together on the wood they create some kind of reaction giving you the color that you want. It is also a good idea to experiment on some scrap wood first to get the color right. Im not sure if you have read this article or not but it gives the full step by step on this kind of finish I hope this helps. http://thefriendlyhome.blogspot.ca/2012/07/how-to-oxidize-wood.html

I plan on making this table within the next couple of weeks and I hope mine turns out half as good as yours! You did an absolutely brilliant job!

Love this table!! What oil based stain did you use on the spruce after the tea and vinegar method?

Hello! I am hoping someone can help. I cannot figure out the x's. I have a miter saw, miter box, square, any tool you would think to use and I have also tried tracing. I cannot do the x's can some one plllleaase tell me or show me how they figured this out?
This was my first ever project! I built the skyscraper bookcase and then built a second one, only modifying it to make a locker style cabinet for backpacks!
So glad I found these plans! I couldn't bring myself to spend $200 on the commercial ones. I built this for my 17-month old daughter since she always wants to be in the kitchen with me but always ends up under-foot. This gives her a safe place to be contained and up high so she can see what I'm doing. I don't have a jigsaw so no curved top or anti-tip feet for us but I wanted it straight anyway so that it would slide neatly under the counter over-hang. I did round off the ends of the anti-tip with the sander. I also shortened the height to 34 inches; all other measurements are as instructed.
I had to do my cutting in the garage during naptime since she always has to be where I am. Same with the drilling. So this project spanned several days but altogether did not take too long at all. I used 2-1/2'' screws instead of attempting pocket screws - I have a mini Kreg jig but after reading the comments and other people's pictures, I decided I didn't want to risk splitting the wood and having to make another trip to Lowe's with the toddler.
I assembled the ladder-rung sides & platform pieces then gave everything a once-over with my orbital sander before handing it over to my husband for staining (he enjoys it - it gives me a headache). After 3 coats, he did a final "sand" with fine steel wool which left a super smooth surface. I finished the assembly with the 1-1/2 narrow hinges - USE CLAMPS!
First time I have ever attempted something like this. Made this table for my wife's birthday. Mistakes were made. Lessons were learned.
Fun build. Every pic looks like an optical illusion though 😂
