Bradley Max Fire Company Ladder 341

We modified the ladder that was suggested. Ours is removable and angled so our little guy doesn't get too adventurous without supervision. We also added a "roof" to his log cabin.
This was the perfect solution for our small (single garage bay) work space! I added a drop leaf shelf from some scrap in front of the miter saw to create a surface for clamping. I also added 3 ToteScan QR code stickers to each cart (one for each side shelf and the center space) that allow me to create a searchable inventory, complete with pictures, to allow me to find less frequently used things faster.

Looks great, and so much nicer to know where to find everything!
I recently added wood frames and trim to the windows in my bedroom. I simply finished nailed 1 x boards over the drywall frame, and trimmed out with casing. Unfortunately, I did have a lot of leftover scrap since I had to buy 8ft boards and my windows are only 5ft tall. I would recomend buying 6ft boards unless your windows are wider/taller than 6 ft.You can read a more detailed description on my blog http://pneumaticaddict.blogspot.com
This was a fun starter project. Took one Saturday to build. A few week nights to finish.
Prices for sideboards are high! And it's impossible to find one wider than 72". I have a kitchen window that's eight feet (96") wide. I wanted a sideboard for my patio that's just outside our window. I needed it to be as wide as the window. So I used the plans for the shanty sideboard and altered them to widen the sideboard to 96". I routed out hidden handles in the top piece of each door and used hidden hinges to keep a clean look.
I created three sections with the middle one wide enough to store four wooden folding chairs on horizontal slides covered with felt. In the two end sections, I added short drawers to easily store things like charcoal and spa supplies.
I finished the piece in dark walnut and had a granite countertop installed to finish it off.
The plans were easy to adjust to my needs and easy to build. The hardest part was making the end pieces fit my slightly angled patio floor while keeping the sideboard level. I had a fun time using Kregg fasteners to assemble the front and sides.

When I uploaded this, I must have not seen the place for my name.
I had fun working with the plans and altering them to meet my unusual length. Having to build it for a slightly slanted patio was also challenging.
This was one of those projects where once I finished it and started using the sideboard, I asked myself why I hadn't built it ten years ago!
I used the weathered stain on pine wood. It came out nice. I would recommend not to use the spray on sealant as this is a big piece of furniture.
My friend had a few leftover ceiling tiles from her new kitchen and I put them to good use. For almost a year, they hung, attached to a simple 2x4 frame.
You can see it in our <a href="http://www.lifewithfingerprints.com/2014/08/back-to-school-dinner-2014…">Back-to-school dinner</a>.
But the edges were rough and it looked unfinished and not quite what I needed for the space. So the ceiling tiles received a makeover.
I built a large frame using 1x4 and 1x3 boards. Using my Kreg jig I made a large rectangle with the 1x4s and then made it look more substantial and thicker by adding 1x3s.
Of course after making the frame, it sat in the office as I debated stain or paint. Once I settled on paint, it sat for another two weeks while I figured out a color. I ended up going to my paint stash and picking up the color I originally used for the <a href="http://www.lifewithfingerprints.com/2013/04/diy-barn-door.html">barn door</a> (I decided against it because I wanted the door to have a little punch!). The color wasn't great for the door, but it was perfect for the frame.

Thanks for sharing! That is a wonderful project!
We used 2x8x8 lumber and 2x4s to make 2x6 garden beds and a 1x6 trellis bed. We utilized Simpson Strongtie braces to hold the corner joints firmly together.
love this garden!!! Thank you Anna!!!

I was wondering what stain you used? I have a lot of douglas lying around and like the way it turned out!

i am thinking about building one of these myself soon. Have you noticed any warping or cracking since you built it?
I'm a total beginner and this is one of my first freestyle projects. I built this out of a palette that came with the trampoline I ordered my kids for Christmas. I was taking it apart to throw away then started to envision shelves for the man cave I am putting together. I used some other scrap wood and put it all together for nothing. The only thing I spent money on was the hardware for the cabinets which probably came to around $10.
So it's nothing special, but I like it. It goes well with the old wooden antique crates and boxes I have in the same room. I did not draw up plans or anything, I just jumped in. So it was not based on any specific plans on this site, it was inspired by this site itself and the inspiration I draw from browing.
I did this relatively quick and as a newbie, it feels good to know that I have it in me to make something like this so easily. I'm eager to take on some more complicated projects that require more precision. This was a fun, sloppy project in which I had nothing to lose because it was all scrap.
If you have pets, you know that they're family, too. And when you lose one, it's hard to let them go. But with pet cremation becoming more common lately, it's possible to keep them with you even after they've passed in a pet cremation urn.
But even if you don't want to use this project as an urn, this would make a great little keepsake box to keep a few special items—like a favorite toy, or a collar—in to remember them by.
So in this post, I'll show you how to make your own with some basic tools and lumber.
Aloha!
I was inspired by what I saw on Ana's website. My daughter was obsessed with the PB Teen version of the loft bed, so I tweaked the plans here to make it more like the $2500 bed from the catalog!!!!! Yikes and don't even get me started on what the shipping to Hawaii would be....It was well worth the effort! My daughter loves her new loft bed...Now if I can just figure out a way to get the dog to love the high bed!!!
Cheers, Tina

Aloha Tina!
You did a great job! I was wondering, how high is the bed, room and clearance? We also live in Hawaii and my daughter's room is small. Any feedback on what modifications you made would be greatly appreciated! Mahalo!

Hi Dawn,
Yes, my daughter's room has low clearance, so I tweaked the loft bed height.
I determined what top clearance I could maximize that would allow my daughter to sit up in bed comfortably, but it will be tight as she grows. She's 5 feet now...
Then I tweaked the desk area height as well to maximize without too much of a struggle to get into the area.. I hope this reply is helpful..
Floor to ceiling height is 96 inches. desk area has clearance of 56 inches and from the top of the mattress to ceiling has a clearance of 28 inches.
Aloha, Tina

Im having a problem finding the plans for the teen loft bed shown above. any direction would be appreciated! Thanks!

HI! There are no plans for this loft bed.. I used the plans on this site and just literally DIY'ed to fit my needs.. Sorry I know this doesn't help you much…
If you have a specific question, maybe I could help…
Aloha, Tina
Here's a dog bed that my boys and I built about a year ago (our very first build). Pretty basic but our pups love it!

Love it! You should post a pic with the dogs in it. :)

Thanks a ton.

Hello,
I love this design! I have tried everything I could think of to find the plans on building this bed for our two dogs to share. Our boxer thinks he’s a lap dog and is getting to heavy to sleep on my legs haha. How can I get plans for this bed?

Spent my time home from work building this for the cabin this summer. will be using coushions from ikea that are water and uv resistant as well as double sealed with removable covers for washing.
Here’s my new outdoor sitting area by my pool. Built from Ana’s outdoor patio sofa/sectional/coffee table plans! Used cedar for the build, Hampton Bay 24”x24” cushions (Home Depot), and found some outdoor throw pillows from The Great Escape store. Stained the cedar with Cabot’s Jarrah Brown exterior wood stain. Very happy with how it all turned out!
This was a very easy and fun project. I made mine out of fence pickets and I think the weathered look of the wood is perfect for these ledges. I plan to do a lot more projects from Ana's plans. The directions couldn't be easier to follow.
I found the plans for this rustic console table and only modified it slightly in the height and length to have it fit as a bar/shelf for my kitchen. Turned out even better than I thought it would with a darker finish than I expected using the steel wool/vinegar mixture. A great clean/rustic/classy touch to our old vintage style house. It also helps a lot with space in our small kitchen considering there used to be a much wider dining table in place of the much more space-efficient bar. These plans were very straight-forward and not too difficult to follow and complete with the necessary tools and time.
Awesome plans, incredibly simple to follow. I'm so happy to have found you and your plans on Pinterest, this is a piece we will enjoy for many years!
Thank you!
