Really took one afternoon to cut and assemble. Couple more hours to sand, and then 2 days to stain and allow for dry time between coats. Very cool table

This is my first Anna White project. It turned out really well.

I built this media console for my brother. When I first started woodworking he showed me an entertainment center that he liked on Etsy and I did my own twist on it. I started with Ana's media console plans and made some modifications to get my basic structure. I cut down some cool pallet boards to use for slats and fill in the bottom. From there all I had to do was figure out how to work metal! This was by far the toughest part. Using a bunch of angle iron, expanded metal, and hex bolts, I was able to achieve the look I was going for. No welds! Granted, it would likely look better with welds, I did not have the tools or the know-how. I also ordered the 5" industrial casters for this project which I had in mind for the start and really love the look.

I built this 6'6" X Frame and two beches in my shop this week. I used biscuts to hold the top together and jointed and planed the entire thing prior to the build. It will be finished off with a Dark Walnut color.

My son built this project for the local youth fair and livestock show and won Reserve Grand Champion in woodworking.

For my daughters 8th birthday I decided I would make her a doll house for her American Girl dolls. Then I decided to make all the doll furniture too. Then I started thinking that I might as well sew all the bedding and cushions. She loves it!! 

My first project!!! The house we live in has 4 closets in the entire house.. so we're quite in need of storage. I was really hoping the bookcase would work out, to relieve the jam-packed linen closet. I'm so happy with it, and with the learning experience. I didn't do the moulding option, more or less because I'm impatient and want to get the next project going. Thanks Ana for the inspiration and the plans!!

After I built my nephew's AT & T Park bedroom, I had to figure out what to create for my 5 year old niece, Maggie. She loves drawing, so I settled on an "art studio," where she can work and display her art.

The bed was created using Ana's Camp Loft Bed Plans. I narrowed the stairs by 4 inches as one of the other posts had done. I also put shelves under the stairs like another post I read on this site.

I built a small drafting-type desk for underneath using my new Kreg Jig (Man, I love that thing!). I also made some curtains to pull shut in case Maggie wanted to escape from the world. Chairs, storage containers, flower light, and leaf above bed are from Ikea.

I bought some cheap picture frames, and put a bulletin board in one and a chalkboark in the other for above the bed, and the string hanging across the front of the bed is from Target. It actually has clips to hang artwork.

I painted the bed using Ana's antique finish with the Minwax pen. It came out fantastic.

  After looking high and low for a solid wood bed that wouldn't break the bank for my daughter's 3rd birthday I discovered this site and the plans for the Twin Panel Bed.  The plans were easy to follow and I managed to build this entire bed with nothing but a mitre saw, a 4" electric sander, a power drill, and an R3 Kreg Jig. 

  I made a few modifications to the original plan, such as dropping the headboard height to 54", using baseboard moulding instead of  crown on the top of the headboard, and not using moulding around the feet of the footboard.  It was simply finished with 3 coats of a white melamine finish paint I had left over.

Built this table from the plans. Great table and plans!

1st the bookshelf, now the nightstands, soon the bed, then.....my sons toddler room is DONE!

Couldn't be more thrilled with how these turned out. Plans were a cinch.

My wife and I just finished our version of the Rustic X Console. We had never built a piece of furniture before and after buying the tools could have probably purchased one for the same price, but it was worth it. We added the barn door hardware and made a door to mimic the X design of the ends. Also added back pieces to hide the Wires. Now on to the coffee tabes to match. Fun project. The finish is grey and walnut stain wiped on together and a gray wash over that.
