I really liked and wanted to build the hanging daybed.  Then I needed somewhere to hang it.  Then I wanted to use it during the day (Northeast Brasil - Sun is brutal)

Built using massaranduba wood (Father in law has a woodshop) and the thing weighs a tonne.  

The shades are a 85% sunshade.

It has proven very popular with family and friends.  As of yet there has not been space on it for me to try out.  

Bed measures 1.0M x 1.9M

Project all total took about 120 hours.  

Single door slider.  Made the hardware from standard 1 1/4 flat metal and rollers from a couple pulleys.  Top is rough cut white pine that had some great saw marks and knots for character.  Back is ship lap from an old barn.

This was my first crack at a project. I changed the plans a bit to make it wider and taller by one more shelf. I wanted an "espresso" finish to match my other furniture and after testing a bunch of different stains I settled on the General Finishes Gel Stain in Java. It was so much easier to work with than the others I tried, requiring only two coats, and the color turned out almost perfectly matching my C&B coffee table. I used the General Finishes Arm-R-Seal semi-gloss topcoat (two coats). Thanks for the plans!

I enjoyed following Ana's simple bunk plans. They turned out great and the girls love them!

Beautiful table 

This was a simple build. You can probably tell from the pictures how it was cut, painted and decorated. The whiskers are just picture hanging wire. The wood was scrap from around my shop and all the other materials we had on hand.

Modified the potting bench plan to make an outdoor bar.

Super easy gift for a toddler

This is a modifed version.  I made it with old pine boards that I had laying around.  I used wine corks for the hangers.  No stain or anything on it.  

This playhouse was built by my 4 year old son and I. We used the general plans and even added the drop down desk. Most of it was built using my miter saw stand, another great idea by Ana White!

I've bookmarked this plan a long time ago just waiting for the time and energy to make it! I recruited my dad to help and he put it together for me over the weekend.
I used one coat of minwax dark walnut for stain and one coat of semi gloss polyurethane for protection.

My son loves it, and it looks great in his new room!

I followed the plans except I decided to do a chevron top instead of the 3 long boards. I used two coats of gunstock stain on the major partrs and 2 coats of semi-gloss clear on everything. Also I did not put caster wheels on (client did not need this thing rolling). 

This was my very first project... I went with antiquing the table, thanks to my Golden Retriever. (Even though he's a hundred times better than his puppy stages, if he chews, it won't show easily.) 

The wood sizes are slightly off, but hey - this is what you do with free wood! Still worked perfectly!

I made this Headboard from am old 5 panel solid core Douglas fir door I found at a building construction recycling place. I originally wanted to stain it, but the door, which was previously stained with a polyurethane proved to be very difficult. I wanted to avoid dealing with a hollow core door after trimming both sides to make it symmetrical.

I purchased some French cleats to hang this, but you could make some out of wood to cut more costs!

Very cheap to make!

Another fantastic project built! We used the Narrow Farmhouse Table plans to create a Sewing table.

I was looking for something for my son's room that would last him until college, so I adapted your plans and added hooks and a bench and stained it.  Bookends are all we are missing to make it perfect. He loves it, and I don't think he will be able to break it.  I could use a suggestion for anchoring it to the wall, though. Thank you for the great, easy-to-follow plan!
