Kitchen Shelves
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."
This was my second project and my first piece of furniture I built from Ana's plans. We have a vaulted ceiling in the hallway near my entry and needed a really big piece to fill up the large blank wall. I always hated the space but now I Love It. The Gigantic sideboard is perfect there. I finished it with milk paint and paste wax. If you inspect it closely it is not perfect but for my first piece... I love it and it's supposed to be rustic right!

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 .
Thanks,

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?

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,

Had to add leg supports for the none drawer side and added a back for the entire unit. Fun Project. 15th birthday present.
I built this with leftover ceramic tiles and using the pedestal table plans. I built it at the same height as our bar. The stools are from the vinatage bar stool plans and are modified with the rustic X as bracing for the legs, upholstery and are at a seat height of 25" rather than the 30".

Love your table! What is the measurement of your table top? I am wanting to build this but want more rectangular than square and am wandering about the base support with the slight change.
Built a breakfast table using the plans from the Tryde console table (just increased the height of the legs). Fits perfectly in the nook in our kitchen, built it on a sunday afternoon, then just needed a day or two to stain and poly.
Used the DIY Plans but my son wanted the shelves to match the desktop. Very happy with result
We don't have a Kreg Jig, so we combined the original Farmhouse Table plan (with the 2x2 supports) with the dimensions of the Updated Farmhouse Table plan. We had to adjust the size of the benches to accommodate the shorter table.
The finished product is great, but keep in mind it's pretty heavy! We built the legs and top separately in our basement and assembled them in the dining room.
The chair is going to be used by my daughter in dance class. She will be sitting on the back and doing an arabesque on the seat. Because of this we added extra support to the back to make it wide enought to sit on. We also added extra support to the frame of the chair to make it sturdier. It also makes the bottom heavier, So the chair is less likely to tip it over.
Have you ever wondered how to get your kids to eat more vegetables? If you get them involved in growing their own plants, they tend to take a much bigger interest in eating their leafy greens. But before planting, you need to get a planter and fill it with dirt. To save money, why not build your own DIY Planter Box on wheels? You could even have kids help you, just like we did with a school that our kids go to. Follow this simple plan that I’ve made with step-by-step instructions on how to build it.
We were asked to build a project for two classes, so we decided to build a couple of planters that will allow them to grow their own vegetables. I pre-cut the boards and drilled the pocket holes at home. Then as a class, we assembled the planters together and filled them with dirt. It was a fun project to build as a class and to see kids get hands-on experience, building something out of wood.
See my website for additional pictures and how I've built it, TheDIYPlan.com
I loved Patrick's Jelly Cabinet, so I figured I would tackle one on my own. I used the oxidized finish that I saw on a different project on this blog, and it is quickly becoming my favorite finish. I added some cabinet hardware of course, and it all came together quite nicely from the plans given.
Approximate cost was $85 for lumber and another $10 for hardware. It took me a few days, as I just worked on it here and there.
Thanks for any comments or suggestions!
