We utilized Ana's rustic x bench to fit our hall tree design. Love the bench.
I used Ana's plans with modifications to hold 4 and a half dozen eggs. I love that it can sit on my counter and display those beautiful farm fresh eggs!
I wanted a simple but stable bench for my back yard. I built a Harriet Chair from plans I found on this site, it went together very fast and has held up so well even with my weight ( which is over 300 pounds ) I decided to modify the plans and came up with this I used 2x3 instead of 2x2. The angle cuts are the same and the height for the base is the same just made three legs, made it 4 feet long. The back was a little tricky because of the middle leg but the Kreg Jig saved the day.
So if you want a fun quick and sturdy bench for around 40 dollars wood, screws and all this in my opinion is the way to go from start to finish about 2 hours. Have fun

I wanted to build a table and chairs for my daughters wedding shower gift so i printed the coffee table plans and modified it to make the dining table. We just measured my sisters chairs and built the chairs.All of the lumber is white pine.We used 2x4s for the legs and frame, 2x10's for the top and 2x2's for a crossbrace under the table. The chairs are 2x4's ripped on the table saw to 2x2's with 1x4's for the seat. we routed the edge of the table and all pieces on the chairs.I spent $50 on the lumber on Monday and had it finished by Saturday for her shower. It is minwax red mahogany brushed on and wiped off and 2 coats of gloss polyuretane. It needs a couple more coats on the table top and the seats for a smoother finish. Lydia and Adam were thrilled, as was their friend who had us build her one just like it. She wanted hers in white pine with no stain and it has 4 coats of polyurethane for a very smooth finish. I love that we built a gift that will last them a lifetime!

Absolutely gorgeous! Great job and I love the price, too!
I am so excited - I'm going to finally get a kreg jig in the next few weeks and now I will have to add this beautiful project to my growing list of things to build!

Yes I would also like to know if there are plans for these chairs! Love them.
This was my very 1st major build. I've done the crate boxes, planters, wall items, shelves, etc. I absolutely love the end result. Received many compliments on the headboard. Can't to make more big items! Took me about 3 and 1/2 hours, another 45 minutes for the staining.
I built this shelf over the course of two evenings. :)
Combined two plans found on this wonderful site with our own revisions to provide a larger desk work area (20" deep). I also added a small shelf to allow for setting a book, water, whatever on it without getting out of the bed. As my first "indoor" project there were several lessons learned - one is to buy the higher grade lumber for the primary components including legs and beams. I did not do this and I had to spend more time than I should've finding good square, straight wood. Another lesson was that staining and polyurethane coating are a skill that requires a lot of practice and time. I and my daughter are thrilled with the final result but choosing to stain/poly it likely doubled the overall build time. Still no regrets, though. My 12 yo daughter just loves her new bed and thanks to this site for the spectacular ideas.

I built this workbench console as a housewarming gift for our good friends who just bought their first house. I'm thrilled with the way it turned out! Check my blog link for the complete play-by-play!
My home was being overtaken by wild animals. They started out confined to my son's room but with the presence of doting grandparents and other relatives, the animals quickly multiplied and were found lounging in every room. They were everywhere! We either needed to move out and put an Animal Sanctuary sign in the yard, or I had to build some type of containment system for them.
The Kendra Storage Console plans were perfect! The build was quick and the wild creatures were effortlessly corralled. My son gave each one an assigned seat. The animals love their new home and my family enjoys having them all in one location.
Thank you, Ana, for keeping our home safe from all of the wild animals!

Great job and cute story! Lol
After following Ana for a couple years, I finally got to build something. This was made after watching the you tube video, I used old redwood fencing that was salvaged from a friend headed to the dump. I decided I wanted mine wider so I adjusted the measurements. It went together great, I hung it up before the metal was attached and found it looked funny being so wide. With the pocket hole construction, it was super easy to undo, trim and redo. Then the metal was added and walah! Done! Lovin it. I also made a TP storage hanger to fill the extra space. I will now be making them for 3 friends who have asked for them.
I've been searching for a deck set and I didn't want to spend a lot of money. I altered the plan to include a table instead of another seat (I used a piece of square patio glass from my old patio set). I made this sectional in an afternoon using green-treated lumber and cushion sets from Walmart.
These ledges were my first DIY project. They're not perfect by no means, but I'm proud of them and they are still attached to the wall after 6 months. They look great in my kitchen and I love the fact that when we move again with the Army, I can take them with me.
I built ten of these for my dining table. I'm so pleased with the result. I added the suggested support bar at the bottom for extra strength. I was surprised by how sturdy these are...and comfortable. I blogged about them over here http://skonkers.blogspot.ca/2014/06/pull-up-chair.html

Those colors are just gorgeous! =D I am so inspired to find a series of things to paint in rainbow hues.

I'm glad you like them! There's something so satisfying about a thorough rainbow :)
I followed the plans for the rustic x console table, making only a couple of adjustments for height and width (I made it taller and not quite as long as the plan called for). I am thrilled with how it turned out, and equally thrilled that I can get rid of the ugly tv stand we had before!
Very quick and easy! We did 6 in. boards and weathered the boards with stain, paint, and sanding. Looking for other places in the house to use this plan!
We didn't paint it, but between two newbies, it only took an afternoon. It has freed up a ton of space in the cabinets!

The husband and I have been very inspired by the awesome women (and men) on this site that have created their own pieces of furniture. They all look so amazing! So the husband wanted to give it a shot and try creating this dog crate / end table as his first ever project. Now mind you, he hasn't done any sort of woodworking since wood shop class in high school... and that was at least a decade ago.
I have to say that I'm quite proud of the hubby's first finished project! Although, he did mess up a bit with the table top being an inch too short width wise. I really didn't want him to create another one because that would mean I would have to stain another one and I really REALLY do not want to stain again! So we compromised and ended up gluing a thin wood trim on the side end of the table top to cover up the mistake.
Fun project to build, and more fun for the kids. Ages 7-3 have been loving it. I used pressure treated 2x4s since it would be outdoors all the time. Thanks for the idea.
