Each grandchild gets a bed made by Grandpa. Our granddaughter wanted a "cow bed." It has a fence to keep her tucked in, a happy cow staring at her, a cow jumping over the moon, drawers that are three feet deep, and more black spots than I could have imagined when I started painting. By the end I was so delirious that one of the spots on the back side is the USS Enterprise!

I loved the idea of the storage sofa! Such an easy build and I tweaked the plans to fit my needs... I used 5" high density foam, I lengthened the sofa to 84" (so I wouldn't have any wasted foam and also so my extremely tall son could stretch out on it without his feet hanging off the edge), I used a 2x8 for the box, and used 1/2" plywood for the seat because 1/4" ply was too flexible. I also made the seat with a zippered cover to encase the foam, batting, and plywood. This way, I can easily remove it to wash it. It's my favorite place to sit while I'm working!

It cannot be denied that storage sofa provide sufficient space to keep your various household articles and clothes. They can be perfectly used for adding storage space in small houses.

It is really a fantastic idea to use storage sofa, as it can be used for dual purposes of storage plus sofa. Moreover, it will not occupy much space in the room. Anyway, please click here to see my site.
I loved the tall corner cabinet but hate to have my television out in view all of the time so I used the plans and made an additional door opening for the tv. I adore it and now have so much space I chat wait to tackle many more projects!
This was my first real woodworking project and was so much fun! I use my deck much more now and am excited to build more!
My partner purchased one of these benches for $100 at a shop in Michigan, but we gave up it over a year ago, and have missed it ever since. I decided to make one myself, using project board for the top and legs instead of 1x12s to make it sturdier. The bench will actually be used both indoors and out, but I applied Behr exterior paint to help it weather to elements.
Though it is tough to see in these pictures, the under layer of paint is actually a spring green, while the top coat is bright blue (both custom mixes), and the edges have been sanded. My partner wanted the V in the legs to remain green, and so they are. We're both very happy with the bench, and so glad we found the plans on this site. What a savings!
3'x3'x6".
Used to store all of those meds and vitamins and bandages for kids, adults, pets, etc.
Pine wood, painted stripe backer board, rubbed bronze hardware, dark stain and distressed white finish, seeded glass, adjustable shelves.
This was my brother-in-law's first build and he killed it. I love this sturdy piece. Best thing in my house right now.
Used a Milescraft Circle Guide to cut the circle, then stained in Minwax Honey and used a Silhouette Cameo for the vinyl wording.
My 16-year-old son is home every other day for school with an on-line course he is taking. We started working on projects we both wanted to learn from cooking to woodworking projects. This is the very first project we made. We are both very proud and pleased with the simple directions, minimal tools required, and beautiful results. We used an early American stain and lacquer finish. We have received many compliments on it. Thank you for giving us something to build our relationship and home with.

Thank you for sharing, I love hearing about the time spent together and the project looks amazing!
I altered the nursery armoire and made this!
These were so easy to make. I actually messed up on the smaller one and used the 2x4's on the legs. By the time I realized it, I had to use the 2x3's on the top. I just used more of them. It still turned out great. My wife had me make another one for an empty space we had. I used the same basic layout and just modified my length and width. Thanks for the great plans.
Just about finished with the kitchen island. I got a surprisingly good Home Depot to match the look of the milk paint on the pie safe that I have with a dead flat latex paint for not much money. Had some leftover burnt umber age effect glaze.
I finished the top with a couple coats of Epoxy resin for a nice glasslike finish and added some wrought iron hardware and an oak towel rack. Last thing to do is put furniture wax on the exposed white pine areas. Then I’ll try to figure out how to move it into the kitchen without sustaining any serious injuries, such as a hernia...

I started out following the plans to a "t" and was going to make two of them. I got about half way through the first and decided to just turn it into a double work station. I decided to make the middle sawhorse slightly different for visual interest. I was also worried about how the desktop would line up with our window sill.
I documented the whole build process here;

gorgeous room and styling. It looks straight out of a magazine! I love the shade of green/blue you used on the sawhorses.

Dear Woodbuilder, would you happen to have any detailed info for this table. I really like it.

Built exactly to plans from Ana-White.com.
This sofa table (x-console) was built with pine and stained with expresso. we made two bar stools from "home made modern" so kids could use lap tops and socialize with us when we were watching TV.
We have since modified this project to have 3 drawers and a central games storage with hinged door That hardware was salvaged from an old desk we were turning into firewood..

While using lathe it is helpful to have tools at hand. In general my lathe tools have custom racks/holders on wall but it is a nice adjunct to have the little table on wheels that stores underneath the lathe —at my side!
All parts are recycled wood from scrap box or dumpster!
We had an extra door after building our house. We were not able to get store credit, so we found a some good use for it. After searching the plans here we saw the rolling workbench and decided what to do.
The door was so heavy and long so we modified the original plan and put a middle support. Our plan is based on the "Rolling Workbench with "Drill Holders"".
I saw the Farmhouse Doll Beds on Ana's Website and knew right away I wanted to make them for gifts for my daughter and my 3 great nieces!!!
I added a few touches to make them my own.
I am thrilled with the way the mattresses I made came out.. and my mom helped with making me the bedding!

Thanks, my mom is the one who made the bedding! I did the mattresses.. which was fun. Got my daughter involved and we even made the buttons. I found matching bedding for the beds.. just different colors! Thanks for the comment!

I cut the plywood to fit the bottom of the bed.. I had to drill 1/8 inch holes through the bottom of the plywood to coorespond with placement of the buttons. I then placed foam over the plywood and covered with the material. I pulled material tight over the foam and stapled it to the bottom of the plywood. Lastly I used a button making kit from Hobby Lobby and made the buttons - pulling the string through the mattress with the button attached and pulled it tight. After pulling it tight I used an offset screw underneath the mattress to tie off the string.

This was such a fun project that the next project on the list is making the Farmhouse twin size bed so my daughter can have a matching bed!!!
