My modified version
I modified this bed plan. Decided to go flush with outside of bed post and wanted footboard same height as mattress

My chickens took over my garden area and being the voracious raptors they are, I needed to build a garden enclosure to keep my veggies safe. I modified a little, making my beds deeper. I also had to stretch chicken wire over the top to keep the great flyers out. I also used it as a way to organize my garden tools (which is possible because I live in Southern California with moderate temperatures and little rain. Thanks for the plans! Yvonne
This is our riff on your plans. Two seasons in and not a single animal has breached our fortress.

Inspired by a photo on a DIY site i made this simple stool from pallet wood. No plan, just an idea, and i know that the hight should be around 20".
Build this bench for our dining room. Had some left over stuff and got a 11 feet plank for free at the lumber yard.
66 inches long, 14 inches wide and I made it a little higher, 19,5 inches.
Have a weakness for red benches :-)
Loved these plans. Made a table as well. Great set!

I am so in love with the table you made to match! Did you find the plans here?
Having a 65" TV I had to modify the plans some. This bad boy is heavy. The solid wood is all red oak, with oak plywood.

I am going to be a first time Grandma and this project has been on my mind to make for him as soon as I saw it!!!
Assembly was a little tricky as I felt I needed to be sure it was very sturdy and safe. I also felt a bit out of practice as I haven't been making stuff as much as I was in the past, it may be more of a beginner level project, but I definitely needed my dad's guidance and assistance. (Thanks dad!)
I felt it needed a thicker wood for the body of the scooter so I used 1.5" wood instead of 3/4".
I am unsure on the time to make as I worked on it in the evenings after work. It did take more time than I expected, but I am super picky and wanted to add some extra touches to it.
I found the perfect monkey and bodysuit with scooters on it and that made it the perfect baby shower gift!

Oh my goodness, I LOVE this! The modifications you made are brilliant too! I've been trying my hand at building more, and it seems like I'm plagued with splitting and such. Now I know to try 2x instead of 1x wood! I also love that you sandwiched the supports between the rockers instead of on top. Great ideas to make this build better!

I love how yours turned out!!! I want to build this for my daughter for her 2 year old birthday but was afraid the 1x wood wouldn't be strong enough so I was considering the 2x, and I'm definitely going to do it now after looking at yours, thanks! Her birthday is in one week so I have to stay focused this week!

You did an amazing job. So adorable! May I ask what you used to cut the thicker stock? I don't have a bandsaw and I'm wondering if it's a "must have" tool for this project. ;)
Thanks! :)
This was my first prject of this scale. First time making doors and drawers. Took about 3 months of working after work and weekends to finish. I'm pretty happy for how it trurned out as new wood worker. Time for a drink.
I had been wanting to get into woodworking for awhile and after searching the web I came across Ana’s site. The plans for this table were right near the top of the page and seemed like a realistic goal for me to practice with. I followed her plans and video and everything came together nicely. My wife loves the table so we decided to keep it even though we didn’t need it.
My daughter found some of these online for $400+ refinished. I was able to locate some locally and did all the refinishing myself and saved a bundle. I have finished 6 of these carts to date. They are old railroad luggage, cotton bale, and whatever movers. They were manufactured around the early 1900's. The ones I have done were made by the Lineberry, Nutting and Globe companies. One piece of hardware is actually cast with a date of Feb, 26 1907. These were a lot of fun and hard work. I carefully disassembled each one including the original nails to be resused, I did not repair any of the wood, just presevered it in its original found state. As you can see from the pictures there are a lot of splits, cracks, and checks in the wood. I wanted to keep those as they added to the caracter of the table. As you can see in the before and after pics there is quite a amazing difference.

Where did you get the hardware ie... the wheels? I've been looking everywhere for the steel wheels

I have one of these carts unfinished with wheels and all hardware, for 100.00 these carts are heavy so shipping may be an issue. my email is [email protected] i can send pictures if interested.

You don't happen to have any of these still around and/or are selling any, are you? Thank you!
I have not built a project in a while but we needed shelves for our homeschool room. I decided to pick something and build it so we started with this one! I love working with my hubby doing these things and he still loves me after we're done ;) so I guess we did alright!
It looks great in our room holding our games and will add some books soon. Thanks Ana for empowering me to go again in building!
My husband built this coat rack and it is amazing and beautiful.i love it. I know the hooks look crooked in this picture but they are definitely straight.

This was made from Anna's Farmhouse bed for dolls plan and the trundle plan. I bumped out the dimensions since my DD has a "My Twinn" doll as well as American Girl Dolls and the My Twinn is a few inches bigger.
It was hard to find bearings for the bottom of the trundle so I used drawer runners instead. I also made the trundle first then sized the bed to fit around it. I added a facia to the trundle for decoration with mitered side edges to give a "lip" to pull the trundle out.
This was my second project, made on my first project... the workbench!
This project is based on the outdoor storage bench at morelikehome.net, which was based on an Ikea outdoor storage unit. I used 100 year old lath that I recycled from a remodeling project. The lid of the bench lifts off, it will eventually hide the timer for a drip irrigation.
I made two helper stools at one time one for grandmas house one for my granddaughters house. I had some leftover oak flooring that I trimmed to smooth edges and glued together for the platform,
I must have over tightened the clamps when gluing so I was going to make a new one but for the birthday celebration I just left it. It got a little rocky but she loved it. Every time it rocks she giggles a little. It’s off by 1/4” or so, so we’re keeping the giggles. Otherwise easy and fun project. Thanks for the great plans.
This little dresser kicked my tushy! It was my second project and I was feeling confident coming off that first one and boy was I brought back to reality quick. If the measurements and cuts aren't perfect and I mean perfect it takes a lot to fix it and make it work! But I finally got everything worked out and it looks pretty great in my little foyer I think. I stuck to the plan everywhere but the 1x2's that go across the "drawer" parts because my wood had a slight warp to it I needed a 1x2 running vertical up the back to keep my shelves even and therefore the original 1x2's wouldn't fit. You can see it in the open picture. I used jute webbing in place of the 1x2's to keep the shoes in place. The front is quarter inch ply added to make it look like a dresser with cabinet. I took someone else's idea to use the ply from the brag post and found a dresser to emulate. That part was actually pretty simple! I love this site for that very reason, so many great ideas in one place! I painted the inside a barn red for a surprise pop of color and that's that.
I modified the plans for the cooler table to accompany and serve as a coffee table for the weatherly couch/sofa sectional that I built. With a two-year old and another on the way, we probably are not going to have too many opportunities to fill the coolers with beer and wine this summer. However, if a group of friends somehow all gets babysitters and shows up at our house, we are prepared.

I love how you scaled this down into a coffee table!!

I really like the 4x4 vs 2x4s for the legs. Can you elaborate on how you attached them to the top and skirt? If you have pictures or any other pointers that would also be great! Our existing patio table is falling apart ($1000 buys you junk these days) and I'm thinking of building something similar to this as a replacement.
Thanks!
