Farm house design. I used 4x4 for the base instead of 2x4.
We built this piece exactly to fit our space. We needed more storage and wanted something that would hold our TV so it didn't have to be mounted any more. We used Behr paint to finish it. It is made out of pine and is very sturdy. It took us about a week to build but could have been done In a few days if we could have dedicated 100% of our time to it.
The previous owners planned to built a rose Arbor, and left the pieces in our barn. Using the Arbor bench plan I was able to use all the pieces to build this version. Great summer hangout!
Having done a few doll beds I decided to tackle a toddler bed. I ended up donating this pair to an auction benefiting Montrose Street Reach and Little Footprints Children's Ministry. If you are interested check out http://www.littlefootprintscm.com

How wonderfully generous of you and they came out great!
I combined the loft bed and the storage daybed to make this bunk bed. I also modified the plans slightly so that the posts extended to the ceiling and added stairs instead of a ladder.

Lwinchip, this is so beautifully done and practical, too! I love it! Thanks for sharing...I love how the posts that go all the way to the ceiling. I'm going to copy you with my granddaughter's loft that I plan to build soon (is that okay?). :-)
Just finished up this industrial L-shape desk. The desk top is solid walnut. I added a pencil drawer and a vintage locker basket mounted to a drawer slide. :)
I made this house using oak plywood for the floors a using a straight edge and paper knife to score it to look like planks and made the lengths vary by using a chisel. The roof is made from 1/4" underlayment painted with red oil base paint and cut to make it look like shingles. It is on heavy duty 4" casters. I have made two identical houses for the same lady who purchased them for an aging aunt. This is the first of the two and was lost in a house fire. The second one was to replace this one. If I make another house I will be installing working lights in it. This is a very large house and fun to build

Fantastic build! I'm sorry to hear about the fire, glad you could make another one!
Loved making this bench! Simple enough using a stop block on my mitre saw.
Followed directions except made it shorter in width. I got so many compliments!
I saw this and fell in love! I've made three so far!
I wanted to create a loft bed for my daughter so that she could have space underneath to play since her room is small. This was the perfect solution! I went ahead and added a stair rail so she could feel a little safer coming down the stairs (she is 4 yrs old). She loves her princess bed and what's best she wants to sleep in it instead of with mommy and daddy! This was my first wood working project.
Mantle moulding plan modified with a center 2 X 4 and used sanded plywood for the back. Finished with a few different mouldings but turned out great. Nice plan. With pre-stain, stain and poly, project extended to about a week.
The bed on the left is the one that I made. I used as much reclaimed wood as possible for this project. I had a bookcase that wasn't stable that had a lot of 1 x 4s so I took it apart and used them. In the second picture, I made the elephant wall art with some 1 x 2s and stapled the fabric to it. It hangs on the opposite wall. It was a fun project. (did not make the bench) I have a lot of interruptions when I build, so I am not sure about the length of time.
Started off with the plans for the Printers tripe console table and the lengthed, widened and lowered it into a desk. Did a very light sand on everything except the desk top to acheive a "rugged" look. On the desk top I sanded it for what seemed like forever and then added three coats of polyurethane. Ended deciding on a dark walnut stain

First, hats off. This is beautiful. I have a question, what are the overall dimensions of the desk? Thanks.

My son grew and needed a bed fit for a high schooler! We went through all of Ana’s beds and picked this one, but he wanted tongue and grove on his headboard and footboard. This was a smooth build and agreed with some other builders to have a bed breakdown framing system. I chose mine from Rockler. I have used their products before and have been very happy. My son also wanted it raised a little bit higher for storage. The stain is golden oak. We were so happy about this bed, so thank you once again, Ana!

WOW, this is gorgeous, love the finish! Thank you so much for sharing.
This is just a simple shadow box with a glass door... took only a couple hours to throw together. The project itself isn't braggable... but the purpose is pretty cool if I do say so myself... it is a bank for my son. There is a slot in the top to put money in, and the door locks with a pad lock. The orange book sitting on top of it is his bank register. He gets money for completing his schoolwork on time and chores and his goal is to save $300. When he does that I will give him the last $100 to buy an Xbox.
Made this for my little girls room

Love it! Thanks so much for sharing a brag post!
Built this bench over a couple of nights. It was really easy. The most difficult part was deciding on the color and finish. Overall it came out great and looks good by our front door. The finish is Old Fashion Milk Paint in Salem Red. I painted two coats and then sanded the sides and corners. I'm contemplating adding an antiquing glaze to give it an older look.
I utilized a mix of the platform sectional and the simple modern sectional to create this piece. I added the design on the back rather than the simple 1x4. I also made the entire piece out of 2x4s and 2x2s.
Love my new minibar! Built using select pine for the 1x and stud grade 2x4s.
I used Ana's plan for the Workbench console which is a pottery barn knock off for the Markham Console. The hutch is Ana's plan for the Rustic Hutch. I first stained with dark walnut danish oil and didn't like the color. It was too yellowish. I went over that with minwax grey wash and loved the color. I finished with minwax dark paste wax.
