Built from your corner cupboard plans. Added a few of my touch and ready for staining. Thank you Ana.
Restoration hardware Callum bunk plan. Stylish and sturdy bunk for our daughter.
Hello,
I have a PDF with material, cut list, and assembly steps for anyone interested. I also used Type 2 wood glue and all screws with this build, substituting for nails in the original plan!
Please email me at [email protected] with any questions!
Thanks

My husband and I completed this project using Ana's amazing plans. It took us about 3 hours total to make. It was a great project. We altered the plans just a tad, but followed hers for the most part. This will be going in the foyer as an entry way bench!
Thanks for the great plans Ana.
We have an open floor plan and a large dining room area, I wanted a table that would do the space justice and provide a place where my boys could do art projects and play games, etc. This table works perfect in the space!
Super table i like it so much. Cant wait for summer to use it outside.
I'm not 100% happy with this but it is only my 2nd project. I actually built 2 because the 1st one was really bad (still learning how to cut wood). I'm using the 1st one for all my scrap wood in the garage. The 2nd one (pictured) is going to go in my sons room along with the Kentwood nightstands and simple bed with a modified headboard.

I can't tell you how many pieces of furniture I've built... You know how many have come out perfect?
Zero.
And you know what?
I'm still happy with all of them! If we wanted "perfect," we'd buy the laminated particle board from the big companies...
That looks great. :-)

I do love it and can't believe I made it. I would have never thought I could even come close to something like this before I started.
Thank you!

I just stumbled upon your brag post. We're much harder on ourselves then we need to be. Agreed, if I built it I know all the imperfections but in the big picture.. you did great work and should be proud! :) I spent 9 months of a class building a desk out of hardwood, spent about $1,000 on just materials (not to mention another $900 for the classes) and really took my time in making sure everything fit perfect. You know what? It's ALMOST perfect but there are still things that aren't... even though I was careful as heck, ha! I've learned that woodworking takes many many many years to perfect and learn all the tricks. It's so rewarding to build something out of a pile of wood! :)
I made this box for my wifes christmas present. She has been riding horses for sometime and is planning on doing some shows. I built this box from Mimi's storage bench design, made it bigger, added a deeper box top and created the rest from looking at pictures online. Its all made of pine plywood and pine boards to keep it light. I added 4 castors to the bottom to make it easily moveable and hid them with the moulding around the bottom. Still has to be sanded and stained before it hits the barn. Its 39W X 24D X 29H. I used a piano hinge and routered the back to set the hing in. Added cove moulding around the bottom and to all the boxes around the front and side. Used a lot of pocket holes and finsh nails. Took me longer than it could have, because I planned everything as I went. I will add more pictures when its finsihed. I would rate it intermediate to advanced depending on your skills with certain tools.

Wow - that's a lot of work and well done. Great job! I'm sure your wife adores it.
Made this farmhouse desk from the plans. It came out very well.
I recently painted my kitchen cabinets with a Rust-Oleum Cabinet Transformations kit, and I wanted to add some matching shelves for items I could store above the stove and coffee maker.
made for my son's fish tank.
Cut-off lumber cart on heavy duty 3 inch locking swivel casters. Used 3/4 copper pipe and 3/4 plywood with a couple of pine wood scraps. Keeps things neat and clean. :)
Other than struggling with the hinges a bit and sealing off the seams where the beadboard meets the center support beam in the back this was a successful and straightforward build
I just tried to copy a really neat looking table I saw on the Village Lane Furniture website. You can see the original at this link http://villagelanefurniture.com/blog/tables-and-stands/
I had no dimensions so everything was a guess. I was going to copy the leg style but instead chose to use little balls for feet.
A different style of table and fun to build. I wanted to add all of the pics of the building process but ran out of photo spots. You just need to add the pieces to separate the top and base from the center cube, stain or paint, and put the three pieces together.

Cool!
I love how we can take what we've learned from Ana about basic furniture building and use it to create some really unique stuff. I find myself analyzing the structure of furniture that I like, everywhere I go!

Pam you are so right. This is the second piece that I have just looked at in a catalog or web site and decided to build. Over time and after much advice and many mistakes you develop a sense of size, proportion, imagination,and building sequence that can produce great and interesting results.
I see something and immediately know if I can build it even with my little messy shop with some crude tools. The hardest questions come from the wife like: What is That? Where are you going to put it?
I just answer...."I don't know."
I built the Triple Pedestal Farm Table for my daughter-in-law. She loves it. My daughter-in-law has put it on her Facebook she said she has more "likes" on it than any of her other posts. I built it using constuction grade common lumber but planned it for a smoother surface. I used a General Finishes gray gel stain and rub on polyurethane satin finish. Thank you so much for sharing your clear and easy to follow plans. I think I'm going to build one this summer for my niece .

My son requested a desk for Christmas, this was an easy to make plan for a simple desk for a child.
This was our first project using Ana's plans. I wanted a new table for our kitchen area. I didn't have a lot of room so we modified the small pub table to 3.5x3.5. We also used wood planks for the top instead. We also left a 2 inch lip instead of having it flush. Love it!

I wanted to find a perfect entryway table and looked EVERYWHERE for one that fit what I had made up in my head - then I finally thought - duh, I'll just make it. So I did! And I ADORE it. To top it off, 4 months later, Ikea came out with the exact project I had made (colors and all) for more than double what it cost to make it!

Just wanted to say I much prefer your table, it has great dimensions to it. I hope you're chuffed with the result. :)

Knock down! Made me smile there! Our of curiosity - did you design your table as a flat pack furniture unit (which came to my mind as you mentioned Ikea and most of Ikea's furnishing requires flat pack assembly) and if yes is it a dismantable piece of furniture? Is taking it apart would be harder than putting it together?
Cheers,

I started with the sturdy workbench plans ( http://www.ana-white.com/2011/03/sturdy-work-bench ) but enlarged it to 38x64x33 to accommodate my new CNC machine. The plans give you enough enformation so that making a size change it very easy. I used scrap wood I had and Plywood so the project only cost $85.00 to build. I didn't have many 2x4's so I used the 2x6's I had instead. Very sturdy table that took about 4 hours to build.
Thanks,
Janet Fox
