Garden Potting Bench
![](/sites/default/files/potting%20bench%20brown%20pin.jpeg)
Potting bench. I had some pressure treated darker wood around and used that for the legs and frame. Pine for much of the rest. Stained the frame cherry. Polycyclic for the pine and the frame. Three times. Lots of compliments. Highly functional as well!

Super Easy Little Adirondack Chair
![](/sites/default/files/3154838927_1388026068.jpg)
To help keep things aligned, in between step 4 and 5 I cut a 15” temporary support and attached it to the back of the stringers, opposite the front apron and then removed when finished attaching chair back. I used Silhouette Cameo vinyl cutter to make the stencils for the name and logo. Home Depot can mix Glidden paint in official campus colors.

Looks great! How did you…
Looks great! How did you fasten it together? Pocket holes, or another method?
Fancy X Farmhouse table and bench
![](/sites/default/files/table%202_9.jpg)
Used the fancy X farmhouse table plan with slight modifications. I decided to use a 4X4 vs two 2X4 as the main leg for the base. I thought it would provide more strength for my final product. Did the same on the bench. Then i moved the support and brace over and added an additional one to provide extra support for the concrete top and trough i made. All in all the base and the bench came out beautiful and am so over the moon with them both! It was my first project I have done (very ambitious I know) but now I am hooked!

Plant Ladder Shelf
![](/sites/default/files/plant%20ladder%20pin.jpeg)
I made this a planter as a gift to the superintendent in the building were I live. It was absolutely free for this dedicated man who keep the building clean and help all the residents by repairing their units. It was a way to say thank you and it always feels good when I or you do something positive.

Kitchen Island w/ Corian
I used the plans for Michaela's Kitchen Island, more or less, but scrapped the top. Instead of wood, I went with a piece of Corian that I got very, very cheap at a local recycled building materials store. It was not that much more expensive than using wood, believe it or not. It's also easier to work with than wood, at least for this project. We even had enough left over for 2 large cutting boards.

Rhyan Console Table
![](/sites/default/files/3154839133_1388262109.jpg)
I loved the plans for the Rhyan Console Table. I made adjustments to fit my media equipment and 60" flat screen (51" W X 18" D). I used select pine and 3/4" White Oak plywood. The finish is Verathane "Ebony' with Varathane Satin Finish. I couldn't be happier with how the project turned out. It matches the finish of my speakers.

Farm table kitchen Nook Bench
![](/sites/default/files/image_315.jpeg)
Inspired by one of your older farmhouse tables, then my wife found a pottery barn type farmhouse, few tweaks later I ended with this. Then decided we needed a bench for the kids so built in a corner bench and then made the cushions. Lots of good meals to come. Email me at [email protected] if any questions.
Bed and night stands from plans on this site
![](/sites/default/files/20191020_204530_0.jpg)
Bed and night stands build with plans from Ana White. Both projects were finished using age accelerator and weathered gray stain. Time and coat estimations include both night stands and the full sized bed.
Recycled Pallet wood coffee table.
My wife wanted to change up the living room a little bit. Being in the military we move around a lot and our furniture seems to never fit in the next house we move into. So I decided to build a little smaller coffee table and end table. Cool part is if you look on craigslist, people are always giving away pallets for free on there. I took Anna's Bristol Outdoor Side Table design and extended it and added longer legs. Hopefully you all like.

Had the same idea with some
Had the same idea with some fenceposts we tore down. built it 3:5 ratio width:length and trying to paint a decent looking Texas flag on it.
God bless and stay safe!
Playhouse Loft Bed
We built this kids playhouse for our 4 year old daughter for Christmas. We modified it from the playhouse loft bed with stairs, only we made it bigger and instead of stairs we installed a slide. Also rather than a ladder we put in a rock wall.

12ft farmhouse bench
![](/sites/default/files/9D0CB5BF-4C54-4725-90B5-1C0BBDDC3667.jpeg)
I was asked to surprise someone with a 12 ft. bench. After searching and searching I found a plan I really liked, but I felt it just wasn’t enough. I modified the plans to give it a little more of a farmhouse look. I also had to double the size of the original plans.

Finished Building a Farmhouse Bed with 6 drawers for the Wife
Thanks Anna for providing this website to help us save money and build furniture such as this farm bed. This only took two days and my wife loves it.
Thanks

Triple Bunk inspired by the hanging day bed
![](/sites/default/files/3154839356_1388469019.jpg)
Inspired by the hanging day bed- everything was built as directed- then 5in X 3/8in lag bols used to secure to wall, as well as eye bolts and rope. Extra support added with ladders & 2X4's. Could have been a 1.5-2 day project but we kept breaking bits, missing tools, running out of screws as soon ad home depot closed... so we did it in 3.5 days

Necklace and Bracelet Organizer
![](/sites/default/files/IMG_20160314_183218-01%5B2%5D.jpeg)
Love this plan from that's my letter! I modified the base slightly by using 2x2s secured to 1/4" hardboard. I also increased the base dimensions to 11x11 so it could accommodate additional storage.

Mudroom Shoe Bench

Loved your shoe bench so much that I’ve made two now for friends. Each one is a bit more custom depending on the length of their hallway and size of their family! I’ve also modified the bench as well to make storage for mitts and toques. Such a great functional plan!

Outdoor Sectional with Corner Table and Umbrella
![](/sites/default/files/stand8pin.jpeg)
Originally, we were going to build the 2x4 outdoor sofa and the one arm version, but we didn’t like how far away the corner seat was from the fire pit, so we switched gears and built a second two arm sofa, and using skills we learned building from some of your other plans, we custom designed the corner table to attach the sofas and hold an umbrella.

10 dollar ledge
We built three different sets of these ledges one set for each of the kids and one for our bedroom. We requested some sample paint off line in some colors we choose so the paint was free. Very simple to make and finish. We drilled holes 16 on center to hang them off the studs to allow heavier items down the road. Picked up the wood from the home store cut them down and sanded with 180 than 220 grit sandpaper then slapped on the paint.
