Corner shelves

I built these beautiful corner shelves for a friend. It is a great beginner project. I used a 1x8 board but you could also use a 1x10 board. You could also build 5 shelves instead of 3. I used pocket hole joinery.

Your plan for this toy box was sooo easy to follow, but I added the feet. My grandson loved it. I have 2 other projects from your plans for him as well.

With my beadboard installed and the trim board for my hooks in place in my back entry I was ready to get building. I decided to tackle the shelf first since that would be easier to install without the bench in the way.
For my shelf design I planned it together with my bench so that I could cut everything but the bench top and face framing pieces from a single piece of plywood. Also, the width of my space is a little strange and the shelf couldn't be too deep because of my window location.
I think the shelf turned out cute and I can't wait to prime and paint it and add the coat hooks. I plan to do the finishing work at the same time as the bench so I need to build my bench first though.

Followed directions but altered the length of the bookshelf to fit tight space. Super easy to build, not as easy to put up. Recommend anxious and drilling into the backs of the bookshelf.

I was wondering how they were affixed to the wall? I've read several posts by people and although the plans seem easy enough nothing is noted on how to affix them to the wall...and I have toddlers. Thanks so much.
This deck furniture was made using construction grade 2 x 4's and the simple plans from Ana. The cushions were purchased at Kohls. They were on sale for just under $25.00 each. The cushions are made for chairs, but this seemed to work well. The short bench is 4ft long and the long bench is 8ft. I altered plans slightly by adding center support on long bench and adding a couple supports on the back. The back rails and end arms were raised a little higher. Made them 30". May be a little too high? My wife is going to make back pillows and a corner table is to be added later.

Awesome job, love all the mods! Can't wait to see the side table!
This project was so fun! It was relatively easy to follow, and only took a total of about 4-5 hours. (Probably would have taken less time if it weren't so hot out!) The only suggestions I have to the Simple 2x4 Potting bench plans are as follows: - List how many of each screw are needed. We bought 50 of both types, thinking surely that'd be enough. Nope! A quantity on the shopping list would have been helpful. - Tell us what cuts come from which boards. We were so afraid of cutting up the wrong pieces, so we ended up doing a lot of manual calculation. No big deal (I'm an engineer) but it still would have been helpful.
This was my first major woodworking project and i couldn't be happier with the result! I also built a miniature version for our dogs' dishes.

This is a bed I built for my son. I thought the secret door with ladder up to his bed would be fun but as it turns out it scares him to go in there. So I have since added climbing rocks to the outside of the bed so he can climb up that way as well as just climb around. It's all made with pine and bead board. The drawers are huge and eliminates the need for any dresser.
When we found out we were expecting, my husband and I decided we wanted to build all the nursery furniture. The dresser/changing table was our first project before we moved on to a closet system and the barn bookshelf. We just have the crib and night stand to finish before our little cowgirl, Teyla, arrives in October.
We decided on using oak for the furniture. This was also our first attempt at drawers which means some of the drawer faces are not flush with the dresser front like we wanted. Overall the frame and drawer boxes went together very easily. The drawer installation was the trickiest part for us.
Modified the size of the Fancy X Farmhouse table, down to 34-1/2" x 60", and the benches to fit fully under the table.
The only thing I wish I could change with these plans is how you attach the tabletop. Because you are stacking wood for the base, and there are no aprons, you have to attach the top by going through the table top. But wood filler and stain hides them well enough, but I'm never the biggest fan of going from the top. I prefer to hide the screws on the underside.
Other than that, I love building this table.
Two projects that I recently built for my wife and my daughter. My wife wanted a tea bar and a beach vibe, my daughter wanted an outdoor couch so it is made out of cedar. They both loved them.

I loved this bed from PB but couldn't see spending the $400 that they wanted for this bed that the little one will only be in a shortwhile. This was a fairly simple build with the finishing taking the longest. A little more skill with the jigsaw would have made the curves flow better but all in all it turned out very nice. Looking forward to more fun things to build!
I have limited counter space and needed something for additional storage but was also limited on space. After looking at pre-made kitchen hutchs running from 1,200 to 3,000 dollars and never really finding anything I truly liked. I decided to find some plans to build my own to fit my need and space. I came across Ana's Chick Brooding Cabinet. I really liked the style and it was something that could be easily modified. It has really come in handy!!
Thank you for making these patterns available online!! I was able to create wonderful seating areas for entertaining on our new deck. I extended the ottoman legs by 4 inches to create the raised table in conversation set. These were my very first woodworking projects and your patterns made it a fun adventure. They add such a beautiful touch to our new space.
I chose to stick with the original pattern and love the results! Very sturdy! Only thing I would do differently would probably be to go pick my own wood instead of having all the wood needed delivered by Home Depot, some pieces that I received I would have passed by had I selected them.
I loved these plans. Thank you so much. I expanded some of the measurements to make a love seat too. Added another back support in the middle of the loveseat.

Wow! Love the stain you used on the chair. The loveseat is a great idea!

I used the barn wood frame plans to make these 33in square pine frames (24 inch by 24 inch interior). I added a 90 degree routered space on the inside lip of the frame so that my acrylic, mat and picture had a nice place to sit on the backside. I also added some left over trim to the inside of the 1x2. With a little hammered silver spray paint with distressed white on top, mats cut with my fabric cutting wheel from Hobby Lobby, and my vacation pics of our kids on engineer prints from Staples, I am really happy with these! (FYI prints are NOT grainy! I have tried this before with a regular camera and it didn't look right. The bigger the jpeg and more megapixels the better)

Love these! Can you post a few more pictures of them close up so I can see how you did them and finished out the back? I've want to build some picture frames but am having a hard time figuring it out. Thanks! These are so beautiful!

Once I got to the back part I realized that it would have probably been easier to just skip the routered part....I originally was going to make these for mirrors and was worried about weight. If you don't router it it might actually be easier to use some sort of mirror clip/holder to keep things in place or it may even work with push points like the ones I used but used tacked straight into the back. Does that help? I may have just confused myself:)
These benches and table are a fun blend of rustic wood, fresh colors, simple clean lines, and a touch of industrial gabion. They are made from reclaimed pallet wood, a metal storage shelving unit that’s no longer needed, and a material that’s locally abundant – beach pebbles.
Finish with non-toxic wood finishes. Check out the step by step tutorial, with detailed plans!http://www.apieceofrainbow.com/diy-pallet-wood-bench-and-gabion-table/
I had a customer want one of these, then she decided she wanted matching bookcases to flank it. She let me run wild with the design of the cases, so I made them with the X's and tied it all together with the doors on the console. Finished with General Finishes Java Gel stain and Minwax Polycrylic. You can see my other work on facebook, youtube and Instagram under "Reaperwoodworks". Thanks for looking!
Looks great , easy build
Turned out much larger in person than I thought it would, but built it for our porch. I also remembered the plans in my head differently and ended up with the X on the sides originally intended to be open. Didn't finish staining it yet, but I was too excited to share.

Oh wow!!!! Looks great!!! Love the stain, thank you so much for sharing!
