Rustic Bench
![](/sites/default/files/3154814799_1346825818.jpg)
I was looking for a nice project with compound angles and found this plan of Ana's, it was easy to build as well as fun and rewarding. I picked the colour as we had just returned from a trip to florida and then up the East coast and found this to be reminiscent of the beach.

Outdoor sectional

Wanted something for the outdoors. The minute I saw Ana's post I new this would be my starter project. Next on the list is work bench. Then coffee table for sectional, then some chaise loungers!

Cedar Pub chairs
![](/sites/default/files/20161005_161151_0.jpg)
These turned out AMAZING, for more minor details see my blog Link. But in a nutshell i needed some chairs for a pub table i built and these plans worked like a charm!
I did use PT lumber for the frames, as these are meant for my patio, so i had to use stainless steel hardware which is a bit pricy, but well worth it unless you want to fall on your butt in 2 years when the normal screws corrode away. Modern PT wood is no joke on hardware!

Awesome pub chairs! Love the
Awesome pub chairs! Love the stained seats and good advice on hardware.
Rainbow Sand & Water Table
![](/sites/default/files/92SJ9fanQ8y1wQPhWvpGNA.jpg)
I'm new to woodworking, and this was so much fun to make! Pocket holes make it sturdy, and I spent plenty of time on sanding so no slivers for little ones. The plastic containers just barely fit so be sure to not undercut anything in the plan.

Kitchen Appliance Shelf
![](/sites/default/files/kitchen%20caddy2pin.jpg)
I made this pantry workstation by modifying the six laundry basket plans. Added 2x4 stretchers between the front and back frames, top and bottom. Made cleats from 1x3 for a less bulky look. And added 1/2 inch AC plywood shelves. Sand and stain later.

Flip Top Console Table
![](/sites/default/files/3154814924_1347058898.jpg)
First project with my new (to me) wood shop. Really liked this plan and enjoyed putting it together! It came out great!
My cost was really low on this because I was able to use a lot of wood that I already had. The main cost was paint/stain and poly.

Great work!
I love the spindle legs you chose, and the finish. It really gives the table a vintage look!
DIY Massive Farmhouse Table
My wife wanted a rock-solid table for her sewing and craft projects, and this Ana White design fit the bill perfectly. We substituted Obsorne's Massive Farm Dining Table Legs to give it a more imposing look and feel.
I ended up spending a fair amount of time on the finish, but I couldn't be happier with the final product.

Smaller Farmhouse Table and Bench
We loved the look of the farmhouse table, and I actually helped a friend build an even bigger version for his house a couple years ago. But we needed a smaller version for our new house. So with some minor alterations, we got an awesome table and bench that fits our space. The whole thing was about 150 for hardware and lumber and finish.
The bases are whitewashed, distressed and stained, light poly, and trewax clear paste wax.

Sorry for the first sideways picture. Not sure why it did that, but it won't let me remove it now. Thanks for giving such detailed plans (https://www.ana-white.com/woodworking-projects/modern-outdoor-loveseat-…)! So happy with the end result! I wanted to use cedar to make it a bit more weather resistant so I swapped out the 2 in boards for 1 in boards to save some money. Still extremely sturdy, so if you want to go that route I highly recommend it.

Simple Patio Chair
![](/sites/default/files/3154848049_1404842681.jpg)
This was my first project from Ana's site. I wanted something simple and cheap to make, so all in all, this project was very simple.
I think I will paint instead of stain next time though as the quality of the wood I purchased from Home Depot wasn't the best.
Very happy with it though, and I'm planning on making more.

Cottage - Mini kitchen
We needed a mini kitchen for our guest cottage and the Grandy console was the perfect fit. I adjusted the shelf height to fit a mini fridge and microwave. Love it!
Top is distressed to look like driftwood - 1 coat Minwax Dark Walnut, 1 coat Minwax Classic Grey, 1 coat Minwax pickling wash, 2 coats polyurethane
The barn door is made with tongue & groove cedar with the rough side out and washed with Eco Wood Treatment to look like aged barn wood

These were so easy to build and look amazing! The only challenge was finding cushions. Finally found the 25x25 cushions at Lowe’s.

Coffee Table with Stenciled Trundle
![](/sites/default/files/3154815236_1347576776.jpeg)
I love the 20 second tidy up coffee table, and thought it would really help with our living room storage issue. I stenciled the inside for a cool look and added some handles from Martha Stewart that I found at Home Depot. I built the base and sides out of #2 pine, and made the top of Poplar for more long lasting durability (though it did bump up the price a lot!) I am so happy I spent the money on the Kreg drill system, it really made things so much easier. This was my first building project, but I think it turned out really well!

Console Display/Sofa Table
![](/sites/default/files/3154848164_1405048012.jpg)
My wife had purchased a few antique printing press trays a few years ago to use to display family keepsakes. She also wanted a sofa table for the Living Room so I combined the two concepts into one table. I used the Rustic X Console table concept and modified it to fit my space and added the drawer compartments for the trays to slide into. I added two glass pieces to the top and there you have a sofa/display table. I used pine boards, hammer to distress the piece, Early American stain and a couple of coats of poly for the finish. The glass pieces we the biggest expense at $50. The table itself was built for around $55 before the glass was added.

Custom Farmhouse Toybox
![](/sites/default/files/tommypin.jpeg)
I built this for my grandsons first birthday! I added a hydraulic shock from Lowe’s. It was really stiff and it took two cabinet door magnets to hold it shut. The name board is from my great grandfathers saw mill from the farm my dad still lives on. I do hope he enjoys it as much as me and my dad enjoyed building it for him!!

Grandma's Library
We combined two projects into one area to create a wonderful spot for reading to the grand kids.

Platform sectional
I used 4 board instead of 6 for the seating to fit the cushions i have and i changed the plan a little bit so all my cushions would fit in it. I also made it 2" higher, i just thought it would be more comfy for my 6 feet 4" husby. Took me 5 hours to do the whole sectional all by myself. I found the cushion at target at 70% sale so each of them cost me 9$ instead of 32$. I have not stained it yet, but will do with a sico brown outdoor stain.
