We recently purchased the L shaped couch pictured with the table but we didn't have a coffee table to match it.  I had been wanting to build the Rustic x coffee table for some time and I finally had the perfect spot for it!  To make the table a little more unique I added a herringbone pattern to the top.  

Wife picked this plan for our TV stand for our new TV. Took 2 weekends to make and total cost was ~ $100.

Followed the build instruction from this website except for the "X" on both sides. I do not own a miter saw to cut all the differrent angles. Hence I cut the 60 degree angles using circular saw and speed square and put the x togetter by creating dados 3/4" deep on the center of both the 2x2 member of the X using a router.

For stains, we used Minwas Expresso for the bottom and the top we used Golden Pecan. 2 coats of stain folloed by 2 coats of high gloss polyurethane. 

I altered the plans for the Providence Bench to make this shorter bench, which I'm using as a side table. I love the chunky look of the 2x4s and the angled legs! I built it in an afternoon, but finishing took a bit longer, and I'm listing it as intermediate because of making angled cuts and beveling some ends, but it really wasn't that hard. Cost is for lumber only--I used leftover stain and polyurethane.

My very first build!!  Thanks for the easy plans.

Pretty basic bench made from Home Depot pine boards (the cheap ones, not the Select Pine stuff). I had some extra trim pieces from a past project so used that for the base trim. That stuff is pretty cheap anyhow so it wouldn't be too much to add to other projects. 

I didn't have too much trouble with this one other trying to get the paint on evenly. 

This is my wonderful Outdoor Dining Table!!

My husband's first project and I couldn't be more pleased with the end result.

Thanks Anna White for your EASY to follow instructions!

Thank you for the great plans. It was an easy project thanks to the easy to follow directions. I am getting a lot of compliments on them.

Total cost per chair about $70 each. Cedar, Marine varnish & stainless screws are quite expensive. For the arm rest I used 1x6 Cedar rather than 1x4. All wood cut, sanded and varnished. All screws pre-drilled. All Cedar countersunk.

I got my inspiration for this bed from the Fillman Platform Bed. I left the platform off, used 2x6s, and added bun feet. I love how low it is to the ground because I don't have to worry about my kiddos rolling off at night or jumping and getting hurt.

Easy to build. Just used 1x4's and 1x3's.  

Fairly straight forward build.  Used construction grade lumber which gave a rustic look.

Nice and easy plan to build this beautiful table and dog crate.

This table was a cinch to put together and only took a couple of hours

My dad and I built these chairs by following Ana's Adirondack plan, and then adding our own curved back. We also routed all the edges to give the entire chair a rounded feel. We also built the simple little round side table to use with the chairs.

This cart was smaller then I expected but makes a great little addition to my office
