I'm not 100% happy with this but it is only my 2nd project. I actually built 2 because the 1st one was really bad (still learning how to cut wood). I'm using the 1st one for all my scrap wood in the garage. The 2nd one (pictured) is going to go in my sons room along with the Kentwood nightstands and simple bed with a modified headboard.

Easy to build and looks great!

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. :)

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.

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 .

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!

Original Plans: http://ana-white.com/2011/03/pubcounter-height-table-seats-6

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! 

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.

I made the two different sized tables to accomodate the size of the room and to not encroach on the window too much.

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". 

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. 

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.

Great weekend project!!!
