Stunning Console!
Absolutley love the finish and hardware choice, thanks for sharing!
PALLET PROJECTS COMPLETE :)
MY PALLET PROJECTS FINALLY COMPLETE!! TOOK SOME TIME TO GET DONE SINCE I HAD TO TAKE APART N DO TONES OF SANDING.. COMPLETELY WORTH IT THOUGH.. THE ADIRONDACK CHAIR I USED PLANS FROM THIS VERY HELPFUL SIGHT. THE STORAGE TABLE BENCH I HONESTLY JUST STARTED BUILDING WITH NO PLANS. FIGURED ITS A BOX WITH A LID, I CAN HANDLE THAT.. LOL WELL I DID AND CANT WAIT FOR THE START OF THE NEXT PROJECT. AND YES IT WILL BE FROM PALLETS AS WELL.
Mommas First
I got scared in the middle of the project and feared that my drawers would not work. I opted for a drawer and a shelf instead of three drawers. I wish now I would have followed through with the plans because the drawer works GREAT! I had a lot of learning opportunities with this project...but all in all, for my first big build...I LOVE IT!!
Modern Bench - School Colors
Great design and project! I am working on the second one in my wife's school colors. Thanks!
X Console
I built this X console for my kitchen, to replace an ugly cheap wardrobe that previously held my kitchen appliances. This made space for a kitchen organization space too- with calendars above, and bins for the kids' schoolwork etc.
The plan was easy to customize, and a great afternoon build.
Minwax Polyacrylic
Cabin Farmhouse Bed
This project was so easy and fun to make. Love the way the instructions are laid out.

Kitchen Island or Peninsula
We needed more counter and storage space in our rental house kitchen. We used this kitchen island plan to build a "kitchen peninsula." When it came time to stain the shelves it would have been a lot easier to stain the pieces before we put it together. The tiny space between the slats was difficult to get a paint brush in.
Farmhouse Bedside Table
I built a narrow version to fit in our bathroom. We also decided not to add the drawer to this one. We really like this open style for this purpose.
I had all of the wood leftover from other projects so my cost was only for the stain I used.
This is the second time I have used the tapered legs on a project, and I am getting better at making them.
Fillman Platform Twin with Barn Wood Headboard
I started with the Fillman Platform Twin Bed plan and made a few modifications.
- I adjusted the size of the bed slightly to fit the mattress we purchased for the bed.
- I wanted the bed to be a little taller, so I simply added a few inches to the legs.
- I made the headboard from old barnwood and added pieces around the side and end rails of the bed to tie it all together.
- Used a bunky board instead of slats to hold the mattress.
- Decided to stain the legs and paint the top cap cream to match some other furniture in the room. Still not sure if I love it, but I thought it might be too much dark wood if I stained it like the legs.
With a mitre saw, Kreg jig and nail gun, this project is pretty simple to put together. Obviously painting or staining takes some time, but the bed itself can be put together in 1-2 hours.
Rustic X Coffee Table
The current Covid-19 Pandemic has allowed me to re-explore hobbies that I have not had the time or resources to enjoy in the past several years. This coffee table is the first woodworking project I have made in nearly 15 years and it felt great to be back! Frame is painted white and finished with polycrilic. The top and shelf are finished with antique walnut and a polyurethane top coat for extra durability. Can't wait for the next challenge!
DIY Charcuterie wth Watco Food Safe Finish
I made this charcuterie board for my niece and her family as a thank you for giving me an old miter saw they were not using… I have made a few now as gifts, and realize ….
Something “ made” means so much more to the recipient,
Because in the making we give our heartfelt generosity…
The stain is Watco food safe finish in hazelnut.

Truss End Table
I have been searching for plans for a great end table that would look good in my living rroom when I canme across this plan! So i got cutting and building and this was the result . I am very happy with it and although its not perfect I learned a lot while building it and cant wait to start my next project! I thought with the angles and bevels in this project it would be a great precurssor to makign the benchwright dining table which is on my to-do list . Im glad I made this table first because now i will prevent some mistakes when making the dining table. The table wet together pretty quickly but the finishing took quite a while as I had to wait 2 hours inbetween each coat of lacquer.
Changing Station
Increased the 15.5" sides to 16.25" to fit the 32x16 pad I bought for a shower gift and it worked perfectly. Finish (all minwax) started with ebony stain, wiped of immediately, followed by layers of stain/poly mix in satin (each one thinner than the last) of Bombay Mahogany, Tutor, and then Espreso. Great plan, Ana.

Garage shelves
Easy, quick garage shelves!
Holiday Wood Table Runner
I switched out my fall pumpkin decor for Christmas decor!
Faux Mantle
Built a fireplace using Mimi's Faux Mantle plans - I think it turned out great!
Built from Purebond plywood because I can't find straight boards in bigger sizes in my area (EVER!) and used fir 1x's for everything else.
Finished with three coats of Behr paint/primer in ultra white. I will not buy Behr again. Personal preference.
Built in Japan
I ended up using Japanese cedar for the top. I was happy with the way this came out.
Barn Door Bookcase/ Side Pantry
This took a lot of time and money but I like the way it looks. We have 4 kitchen cabinets and one drawer and no room for more so storage is tight.

Farmhouse Console Table
Modern Farmhouse Console Table by Home with Jules
Navy Trainer
A lady I work with at Driscoll Children's Hospital is giving birth this week to a boy. Instead of the traditional gifts I thought he should have an airplane and the Plane Old Shelf caught my fancy.
I made a couple of minor additions to the design with the addition of the traditional red and green navigation or running lights on the wing tips and a bright yellow axle. The wheels, cowling, and buttons are from Hobby Lobby. I took a small piece of bass wood, soaked and bent it and then let it dry overnight to form the propeller.
In South Texas the color scheme means something. The wing tips,tail, and cowling of the single engine trainers the want-a-be Navy pilots fly carry this color. They are everywhere.
