I saw this table and nesting grill station on your FB page. I changes it up a little bit, but the concept is perfect for my back yard deck.

Work table for our laundry area

After searching the town high and low for a 10" high wooden stool, I decided to make one. Ana had the perfect stool pattern to modify for our needs - A little shorter, a little wider.....et Voila!

It's the perfect height for little ones to reach the taps in the bathroom, as well as helping out in the kitchen from time to time. And, the cedar smells wonderful.

Finished height: 10"
Top measures: 11.25" x 16.5" (2 boards, cut 16.5" long + a space in the middle)
Footprint: 12.375" x 17.375"

I also lined up the rails (instead of staggering them), similar to the Harriet Higher Chair plans. The joint will be weaker, but I prefer the cleaner lines on such a short step stool.

Thanks Ana for the great plans!

I loved he Hannah canopy bed for my daughter but felt like it was missing something. I decided to tuft the headboard and I used rhinestone buttons to give it that girly look with a small pop of glam. The tufting took probably 12 hours in total but totally worth it. We then followed all the instructions on how to build the bed with the exception of having any screws go in through the sides of the fabric on the headboard. We used plates to hold the headboard in place and screwed around the edges. It was time consuming but we love how it came together.

Dimensions and finish were unique to my needs.

I followed the plans exactly. The only difference is I used my Ryobi Airstrike brad nailer instead of stapler. Lowes was slightly higher in price than the $10.00 on Ana's post but at $11.97 it wasn't too far off!

Ana Whites site is always my first stop for inspiration, she always has good designs and diagrams. I usually use her plans as a rough guide, and then tweak them as needed.

For this table, I made it 42" square, and adjusted the height. 

The main difference is I built this from PT pine, and cedar as this is going to be an outdoor table, and I would like it to last.  I painted the frame with 3 coats of exterior semi gloss paint, and used Helmsman spar urethane for the top. I did not stain the wood, as I love the color variations of natural cedar.

I also used galvanized carriage bolts to connect the legs. This increased the costt, but I wanted to be able to remove the legs.  For more in depth connection details see my blog.

The table turned out quite well, is very sturdy and has gotten quite a few compliments, thanks Ana for the inspiration to build cool stuf! I love building STUFF!

I’ve built the greenhouse for your plans, but I love it.

I saw these plans on Ana White's website, so I figured I would try to make one with recycled wooden pallets. It was a fun and easy project. I added a third set of legs in the center of the chair to provide extra support. Using the pallet wood offered a few challenges, mostly relating to the size of 2x4s you buy versus the ones used to build pallets.

The end user of this chaise lounge chair is going to seal it with a cedar colored stain/sealer so that is matches the Pallirondack Double Settee (one of my other projects) I made for them earlier this year.

Great plans, great fun.

This project took a long time since it was my first and I had a baby boy in the middle of completing it. But finally it is finished. I had help with the construction and the plan was modified a little bit (83x38 inches) mostly since it needed to fit in the back of my father-in-law's van for transport to our new home. The finished product came out pretty well for my first foray into woodworking!

This was one of my first builds ever! I'm hooked! 

I chose to use your plans for the "Modern Outdoor Chair from 2x4s and 2x6s" and it turned out great on our front porch! Now we have a new place to chill in our chairs among our plants in the shade on summer days!

Ive been looking for a sewing table to fit my space. but found none for less than $500 and they were quite small. I found a post at quiltedcupcake.com that linked me to another blog, linking me here. I modified the plan to be about 2 feet wide and cut a hole to fit my sewing machine. There is a support in the bottom to hold my machine level with the tabletop. When I make this in the future, I will splurge on a fine hardwood. This plan was easy to build and looks great! Just what I was looking for :D

This was my first project from Ana White and it turned out so well I made more. Very easy and inexpensive. Used Red Oak for the tabletop and California Redwood for the legs.
