I built this picnic table from pallets and 2/4 it’s my first one nothing fantastic but I’m still learning.

I meant to post this a long time ago, but I kept forgetting. Ignore the mess in the background, we were renovating our house. I roughly used Ana's upholstered toybox ottoman plan, but really, I just made it up as I went along. I constructed a plywood box the size that I needed it (i.e, big enough to fit my husband's video game accessories).

I built this media console for my dad for Christmas. He has a decked out Alabama room, but it was missing that one piece to tie it all together. I saw these plans and knew it would be perfect.

I added the Bama logos and door knobs which really set it off.

I had to practice cutting the circles probably 10 times before they were acceptable. I am glad I didn't quit! These bowls are great! 

When my two teenage boys were out of school in 2020 due to Covid19, I had them choose a project to work on and they chose theses chairs. I made cushions to go with the chairs. I think it turned out fantastic! They were proud of their work and so was I.

First project! Modern Farm Table using a mix of the original and the updated pocket hole plans. Stained with vintage gray/brown on pine. Used Minwax® Fast-Drying Polyurethane in satin to finish. Table - 33" X 69"

I modified the plans for only 2 pedestals, and a solid 100 inch walnut top.  I used auto body filler to fill the gaps of the legs, sanded and distressed.  It appears to be solid barn board wood, and there is NO way to tell that it's stock 2 x 4 and 2 x 6.

Jewelry cabinet made using a full length mirror I had.

This was a simple project, super easy to do if you need an inexpensive bed for a young child. It freed up floor space in our son's small room, which he loves.

Built this bench for my parents for Christmas. They were super impressed and I had a lot of fun. Cost for the wood and screws is only about $40. Stain/Sealer can cost about the same.

Obviously I decided not to do the woven back and go for the simpler straight slats. I prefer this look and I'm sure it was easier than cutting all those angles.

I was proudest of the armrests which I made using a jigsaw to round off the edges, a circular saw to make the thinner part, and shaped it more with a rasp and file, then finally a fine grit sandpaper. Super fun.

We used flooring from Homedepot for the middle boards.  My decorator suggested that I make it longer and that worked well with this flooring.  We did discover that our Lowe's has the post for only $10 - we paid too much at 84 lumber - only to discover that they were warped - we had to use corner brackets to fix it.

Homedepot - Maui Whitewashed Oak 8 mm Thick x 11-1/2 in. Wide x 46-1/2in. Length Click Lock Laminate Flooring (22.28 sq. ft. / case)

I made a pair of living room end tables. Mesquite and Cherry. Finished with General Finishes Gel Topcoat.

I love this for the laundry room! We actually had a pretty blue paint left over from a different project, so it was perfect. Thanks for the wonderful plans :)

The first of many projects to come. I plan on modifiying the design to create a taller table to join as a bedside nester. Photos soon!

I procured the finest and freshest Redwood from a lumberyard. Tip : Don't go to Home Depot. Most of the squaring and planing was done from the hand held Lie Nielson Jointer # 7. It was worth an investment and came in handy for a lot of other applications. I used Fein Supercut for sanding needs. Works well.
