Thank you! I'm really happy with how it came out and I've already received bites on orders. I think it's the kiddo that makes the build so appealing ;)

Yeah I would totally buy lemonade from that face! lol
After a couple years out of bodybuilding because of a bad injury, I decided I really needed a new hobby. I've always been impressed with woodwork but it just seemed out of my reach. I wanted a porch swing and saw these plans and though, "even if I mess up it'll only cost me a couple hundred dollars". I bought the kreg jig kit and some lumber and thankfully have all the other tools I need. This only took me a few hours to build and it was so easy and a really good time. I watched a few you tube videos with both ana and Jeff devlin from Kreg Tools and it really prepared me. The job was fun and I plan on going back to the lumber store this week just to build more stuff I probably don't need lol.
Here is my version of the nursery armoire with plexiglass inserts for the doors.

My third project (second from Ana). I love how it turned out. So far it's held up well to a massive amount of abuse from my 4 year old and 2 year old. I've had it for about 3 months I think. I used 1x6s kregged together for the lids and bottom shelf, because I like that look.
As a complete beginner in wood working (unless you count a year of woodshop over a decade ago), I decided that building a cart for the miter saw I just bought would be a great first project. So what did I do with that brand new miter saw? I left it in the box and made all of the cuts with a circular saw. Not sure what I was thinking there...
I mostly followed the excellent plan provided here but used wooden arms to prop up the wings in order to save on cost. I got the idea from the folding sling chair plan. It took quite a few screw ups and adjustments of the lower support bar before getting one of the wings level but I got it eventually.
Update 8/20/13: The miter saw has been a joy to use with the cart and the big flip up wings provide a ton of really convenient work space in addition to stabilizing 8 ft boards for cutting. I added a sliding drawer and some utility hooks for additional storage.

I originally just had a 2x2 and two blocks to hold up the wings on the cart. They kept falling out, so I replaced them with hinged arms, which were a pain to fit and install, but they work well. Your approach has the same advantage of hinging the support arms: the wood can't fall out and it looks way simpler to install than my system.
One hint if you try Nermell's approach: Flip the cart upside down when you fit and install the support arms. I did all kinds of complex sketches and measurements, then realized it was just faster to lean the support bracket at roughly 45 degrees, then I installed the two block (one on the side, one on the wing) to hold the bracket in place. Flip the cart over, and your wing will sit at a perfect 90 degrees to the sides of the miter saw cart.
This was such a fun project and only took 1 day to complete! It was a lot more fulfilling to build my own coffee table than go out and spend $400 on one. It looks beautiful in my living room and is a perfect accent to my rustic, earthy decor.
I made this sliding mirror jewelry cabinet for my wife for Christmas.
My brother and his fiancee just bought their first house, and these sweet little boxes were the perfect housewarming gift! I used the recommended cedar picket, and found some old reins at a flea market for the handles. Piece of cake to build, super inexpensive, but absolutely adorable!
This project was super easy! It only took three hours to build and another 24 hours to stain and paint. Third project that I've made using Ana White plans, and was BY FAR the easiest!

How do you like the yurt??? The table looks terrific!
Thanks for this design. I've used it and adapted it for my very hot weather location. http://imgur.com/a/dsVlc#18
I am using film instead of plastic sheets, which reduces the price and allows for easy swapping to shade cloth.
I built this kids-sized chair using the "Classic Chairs Made Simple" plans on this website (http://ana-white.com/2011/01/classic-chairs-made-simple.html). I had to change the dimensions accordingly but it turned out just about right. I ordered the paint from Home Depot, getting the true Seahawk colors, then I used vinyl to create custom stencils to paint the designs on, the "12" number is a sticker I ordered online. This was for a friend's son and he really love it, especially with football season almost here. The painting and stenciling took the longest part, much longer than I anticipated but it was worth it.
I made a wooden game board for The Duke from Catalyst Game Labs. The Duke is a 2 player abstract strategy game. In some ways, it is similar to chess. For more details about The Duke visit the official website for the game where you can find the rules and files for a Print & Play version of the game. (Unfortunately, at the time of writing this tutorial the physical copy of The Duke is out of print.)
The game board for The Duke is similar to a chess board. It uses a 6×6 grid instead of the 8×8 grid in chess.
We needed something to help with our book storage problem - something easier for the kiddos to get to and also clean up. We've made the ten dollar ledges before for our kitchen, but this project was way more fun!
This bed is the perfect fit for my son's dinosaur room! I found tutorials for fairy canopies and modified it to create a "volcano" bed.
