I had a bunch of my old skis that I had used as a display wall in my chalet that I needed to do something with, and this was a perfect solution!

Thanks for a great plan! I've been procrastinating in posting, since I have plans to start blogging and wanted to link. Unfortunately, my blog remains a pipe dream as I still can't come up with a name.

The two long ledges were the ones I made (smaller ones are ancient.) These have helped me a great deal in my efforts to pull together/put my own stamp on the most awkwardly laid out and chopped up house imaginable! The 'in your face effect' created by my piling nearly every photo I own on them should be temporary - wall space will open up as other rooms get done. I do think they soften up the gigantic television (Ok, stop laughing. It was worse before.).

While the Ten Dollar Ledges were the inspiration for these, I didn't follow the instructions, since I have lots of leftover plywood and buying lumber when you live in the country and drive a VW Bug is not much fun. I'm very pleased with both the shelves and the garage space their creation opened up. There was a tradeoff, though, as it took me far longer than the hour or two each would have took had I used dimensional lumber. Four inch rip cuts are a pain! (especially since I was a bit too perfectionistic.) But I'm very happy with the results. Thanks again!

I've needed a new fence for years but was intimidated by setting posts. I decided this year to hire someone to set the posts and then build the fence myself. Then I saw a brag post on here where the person used Oz-Posts. After researching it, I decided this was the way to go. It was simple and fast! We obviously need to cut the tops off the posts yet!

This was a super easy build - the only thing that took forever was getting all the angles perfect. 

My husband needed a solution for the garage. I showed him your video and he went right to work. We both love it! Thanks for the inspiration and all you do, Ana!

This was a fun and relatively easy project. Thanks Ana for all you do!

X Console table made slightly larger then the plan specs. Also added a backing with some holes since the customer is going to be using this as an entertainment center.

Changed the plans to fit some stuff that I already had. I routed the box together instead of using pocket hole jig. Turned out great have had several people wonder where I got the idea.

Made these to fit Dollarstore pots. These plans were so easy to follow and adjust for pot size. I used scrap wood and sealed them with a stain sealant. I love your plans!

Modified slightly for increased height, slightly larger gap between shelves and more underneath clearance (for Roomba Vacuum).

Very easy to make, used Google Sketchup to calculate new angles for X's based on the modified size of the console.

Most time consuming part was repeated sanding and final poly-whey coats.

I built this a bit larger for a older child or adult. Measures 5'3 high by 5'10 long. This is my first Anna White project. I am a 44 year old woman who just last year never held a saw. I am finding my calling. I never knew how much I would love doing this!! I may also add, as my money is super tight, I made this completely from pallets. I don't have but a few tools, but found with a drill and miter saw that was the only tools that I needed.

I actually used a partial plan from a previous Ana-white photo and plan. I used some nautical hooks to finish it off.

Living in a small house, 1100 sq feet, really needed an area devoted to DVD storage, then I thought, why not build my own Entertainment center? This is 1 of 6 pieces.

This is my first serious project that I dedicated to my wife so she can arrange her many books and personal things. I used the undercover jig from wolfcraft (same as kreg jig).
