Made this for my son's new basementsuite.

Found the old window frames used for the back at resale store.
Made the bench for daughter’s birthday.
Now Sitting in Virginia overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains.
She has added pillows
My first build! Added a shelf to the bottom. Think it came out great :) Super excited to tackle my next project!!
I made some of the cute little cedar boxes to use as planters. I love the size and they were super simple to make.
This was my first project ever and I absolutely love these shelves! I was looking everywhere for a simple shelf system that was wide enough to stand alone in the middle of the floor. I didn't use the kreg jig at all as I was too intimidated and impatient for my first project. I also didn't add the 2X2 floating bottom. Also, I decided I wanted the whole thing trimmed and went ahead and got some extra 1X2 to trim the middle shelves.
Needed a two seat bench for an existing table. Used biscuits instead of pocket screws to manufacture the seating surface. Cut 1/4" from each edge of the 2x4 (original 1.5" x 3.5" => now 1.5" x 3.0") so the premilled humps would not be evident on the seating surface. The surface now has 6 layers of boards for 6x3=18" width instead of the plans 5x3.5 = 17.5" Great plans, easy to modify!
Dog kennel I built for a friend of mine. They have a pure bred poodle and had to build this big enough for the dog to keep growing. Made out of red oak with rebar on the sides and cabinet doors. I added a phone charger and electrical outlet to the top so they can plug in a lamp and their phones.

That is fantastic, love the extra power support option!
We combined two 5 Cube Tower Bookshelves with one 6 Cube Bookshelf (with a larger top center compartment to fit our cable box) to make an Entertainment Center for the kids playroom.
Fun project to do! I still have to make the other one, but thought I'd post the one that I did complete so far. The drawer doesn't fit in as perfectly as I wanted it to, but it's still ok and not completely noticeable. I was really torn on whether to do the paint/stain look but ended up staining the whole thing and like how it turned out. I had to split this project up into several days because of work, but hopefully the next one won't take as long since it'll be the second one. Overall not too hard!
I loved the style of this desk, but elected to give it a whirl without pocket holes. I tweaked the plans to used half lap joinery and it turned out great!
We made this table and two benches from the plans! We used 3” self tapping deck screws because we couldn’t find any in the 2-3/4” mentioned in the plan. Love the result! We used danish oil in medium walnut.
I couldn't find any wire baskets to use for this, so I just put some rolled towels and TP on it for now... mine is quite bigger than Ana's version and it's even bigger than the original Pottery Barn version - it's about 37" tall, 19" wide and 14" deep. I had some of the wood still left over from other projects and I already had all of the paint and supplies. I only spent $15 on the wood I needed.
I wanted to attempt making a dining room table. This is my very first woodworking project. I did use store bought legs from one of the big box stores. Your site completely inspired me to just go for it. It's not quite finished. I've got to do all the sanding and staining. I plan to use a mahogany tone stain to coordinate with my brown/black parsons chairs and hutch in my dining room. Finally finished and I think it looks great! It took a lot of sanding to get all the wood pieces even, but so worth the effort. I love the rustic country look.
Our youngest daughter just loves her new big girl bed! Her older sister does too, now she wants a new bed because hers is too boring!
King bed made out of CVG hemlock with doug fir posts. Headboard chevrons are mix of oak, cherry, maple, hemlock.
Pug approved.
The first furniture I built from Ana-White's page. My son liked it so much!
Ps: Home Depot employer cut all the pieces for me...Saved me an hour! :)
My wife, Carrie, and I decided to make this bench for a very deserving couple for their wedding. It turned out great and this will be the first of many pieces we'll build. Thanks for the plans Ana!
I made this with pine boards. I used an old twin mattress for the cushions and covered with some material I had on hand. I love it.

Looks like a great place to relax. Your Golden seems to be enjoying it!
Great project and my wife loves it. I added a door, locking hinges, and made a custom cutout with shelf for the machine to sit flush with the table. I switched to piano hinge for the leaves and locking hinges for the 2x2 legs. Turned out great.
Such a fun and fairly quick and easy Christmas gift for my 8 yr old daughter. She’s been begging for a AG dollhouse and with limited space in our house, this compact design fit the bill. I bought the shelf help kit and all I had to do was assemble, add trim and cut out the windows. Highly recommend the kit, no wasted plywood (and it was high quality too!) Thank you Anna!
