This was my first project and I wanted to surprise my fiance for her birthday. The hardest part was keeping her out of the garage! I used the plans for the iTable and it was really easy to follow even for a rookie like me. I adjusted the dimesions a bit because 40' would've been awkward for our living room. It ended up being about 34 1/2 or so and I also used 1x10's instead and made the legs 18' so it matched our couch's height. Fun fact: don't forget to factor in the width of your saw blade when cutting..I botched the first cut by about 1/8 BUT did that for the rest so it still ended up being square lol. Anyways, hope you like it and I'm looking for a new project already! Cheers!

This was my first building project. It was fun and simple.

Super easy! I love it!

Loved this plan, also! In fact, a male co-worker helped me pick out the color! I made the open shelves taller and left the back off so my media components could get lots of air flow!

I needed a desk that served not only as a space to work, but something that had good storage and didn't take up way to much floor space.I looked and looked and couldn't find anything I loved until I ran across the Parson's Tower Desk plans on Ana-white.com. The depth of the desk was perfect, but I needed more storage, so I decided to play in with sketchup and see if I couldn't make it more of what I needed.

I ended up with a supersized Parson's Tower Desk!

It has four smaller cubbies to the left side and 2 wider shelves to the right side.

table took one day and bench a few more hours. Sturdy beautiful table

I was able to build the bed with the Rockler surface mount brackets and this allowed complete removal of the side rails without any screws. We are a military family that moves every 3 years and this makes it so much easier and less wear and tear on the beds. Any family that moves consistently can understand that the hardware can only take some much abuse before it compromises the integrity of the furniture.

My girls each had their own room that they never used! So, dad decided to combine their rooms which gave us an office. They have since spent more time in there then anywhere in the house but it was a mess! 2 beds in a tiny room was not working! So I made dad make this bed, and it is AMAZING! It has made my life so much easier getting them ready in the morning, not tripping around beds, and they spend time in it, and take pride in keeping it clean!!

We added about 6 inches, making it normal bunk bed height, but didn't change anything else. No finish yet, because I love the look and haven't decided what to do. We also, did not use a kreg jig. Hubby just drilled in sideways, and it worked fine.

Thanks so much forthe plans.  Voila, done!

Made this bench for my sister to go with the entryway shelf

After reviewing the comments I was a bit hesitant to start this project but then I realized I will build then make my own opinion. I am very happy I did because these pedestals are sooo wonderful and beautiful. This project must be built with extreme detail and everything must be square, etc to avoid any vibrations and complications. I did include extra center supports and thought of it like building a house frame.

A friend and I built the mobile miter saw stand from your plans. We live in a retirement community and use the saw in our woodworking shop.

This was the first project I built with the Kreg jig.

Building was pretty easy.

Painting it was not so fun.

Not much more to say :)

I undertook this project for my daughters new twin bed so that she could climb up into it. It actually went really smooth for my first project, the only issues we had was a little paint peeling at the end.

What I did was sand and primer the steps, then when that was done the entire thing was painted pistachio, after that was done and dry we attacked vinyl stickers for our daughters name and little tinkerbell characters and starbursts, the final step was to paint the entire thing purple and when it was dry we peeled off the vinyl stickers and the pistachio underneath showed the designs through and we like to think it was a success.
