I saw the modern Adirondack chairs on pinterest and decided to try them. I made two of them for my Lake cottage. I did use deck boards that I already had on hand for the seat and back. I'm pleased at the ease of construction and I do like the chairs. Thanks for the free plan. - Linda
My husband and I built this play kitchen for our 3-year-old daughter. It was only our second project, and we couldn't be prouder of it! We modified the fridge and freezer doors to look more like the "real" one, and used a router on all the edges. My mother-in-law sewed the cute curtain from the plans at http://thecraftingchicks.com/2010/04/giveaway-2-custom-photo-backdrop-a…
We now have plans to add a microwave and dish shelf, and an oven light in the oven. Our daughter and son love playing with it!
I was originally going to build this console table for our new bathroom vanity. It ended up being too long for the space, so now it is used for storage and to fill empty space in the master bath. (The floor is not level, the table is sitting on blocks on one end.) We love this table! It was easy to make and it is very sturdy and is quite beautiful with our old barn lumber on the drawers. I will probably build another just like it for our laundry room!
This was my first time installing slides! It is embarrassing to admit how many hours it took to get those to slide smoothly! But they are WELL worth the effort!
I definitely recommend painting the 1x4 slats BEFORE screwing them to the 2x2 stretchers on the bottom grate. I made a similar grate for another project and forgot to paint them before attaching. BIG MISTAKE. I had to take it all apart to paint it.
Thank you for the plans, I loved working on this table!!
Actually my first build ever. Red oak plywood top and poplar everything else. Added poplar 1x3s around the edges so you don't see the plywood edge. It's surprisingly sturdy!
Farmhouse bed for my daughter, Thank you Ana for sharing planes .
I tried to make it exactly as your plane.
I made this bookcase for my nephews, based on the Bankers Bookcase plans and pictures. The rounded corners were made by tracing an aluminum can.
Hello. I made this toy box for my niece based off of the simple modern toy box plans. It was completed with a distressed finish and is my first project using the kreg jig. The letters are Fiberglas letters from hobby lobby. Overall, I'm pleased with the results. I welcome your comments and opinions. Thank you.
I just wanted to say thank you for the awesome plans. We modified the dimensions a bit to match our couch.
Thank you again!

I tried to post photos of my progression of work, but couldn't get them to post. The instructions to build this were simple and easy to follow. I was able to construct this by myself in about 4 hours total. I am getting ready to make a 2nd for my craft shed. Thank you for sharing this!
I altered the plans slightly starting with the desk's top. I had extra 1 x 12 on hand so I worked the dimensions around that. The height and width is the same, only the depth is changed. This was a very simple and enjoyable build.
I loved the idea of this as soon as I saw it and decided to make it as as my daughter loves to watch cartoons on my ipad while sitting in her high chair eating her breakfast etc,
I added a cap that can cover the end when it is not in use, a back and also painted it a very dark grey with gold accents on the feet, controls and also the little plaque I made.
My daugher cristened it "My TV" and loves it.
I am no longer allowed to play cartoons for her without "My TV".
Another great plan !
Onto the next one.
My first woodworking project ever. Used spruce dimensional lumber from the hardware store, some Minwax Red Oak Stain and Minwax Satin Polyurethane to finish.
Awesome learning experience, and looking forward to my next project.

Built this desk for my parents to fit in their office space. It is made to look like the Hendrix desk except smaller. I sandwiched together 2 pieces of plywood to make the desktop thick and sturdy.
Hi Ana,
Thank you for the wonderful idea about storage shelves.
I made one with some modifications. Total lenght is 4 m, height 2 m and depth 50 cm. The columns and beams are from 40x60 mm, the shlves are 110x20 mm. Pine wood was used and the photo shows bare wood without protective layer. It will be covered with colourless protection.
Keep up the good work!
This Project took about a day and a half. Hardware was from amazon for about $70 plus another $30 for additonal rollers since the set only comes with metal bar and 2 rollers. Stained in Weathered oak. Its built with poplar wood. This was about $400 to build with all the hardware.
I am new to woodworking and saw your plans for this Christmas tree shelf and I had to try it! I made a few with ash and maple wood, but then I came across some barn wood and loved how much it resembled natural tree bark. I decided that it would look even better with snow accents. I thought you would enjoy seeing a twist on the original plans.

I uploaded these pics and I have no idea why they are sideways?!
Loved the simplicity of this design. It turned out beautiful. My sectional is 6'X10'X10'.
Second project using completely reclaimed wood. The plans were easy to follow and I made a few minor modifications. I swapped out the two 2 X 4's inthe middle of the frame for 2 X 6's and added a center foot to each of them for center support. I had a hard time finding larger shims and was about to make my own when I grabbed a few pieces of scrap 1 X 3 and started to make the design you see on the footboard. My wife like the look so much that I repeated it on the headboard. Looking forward to making some nightstands that will match the look of the bed. The boards used to be nailed together as temporary fencing that is what created some of the color variation in the wood and I tried to create some sort of a pattern by alternating light and dark.

Wow, this is beautiful! I love the pattern you made with your reclaimed wood. What luck to have the varying shades. Great job!

This is really nice. I have to admit I was underwhelmed by the original plan when I saw it, but this is beautiful. Really nicely done.
