Edited dimensions of the Benchmark Media Console to build this beauty for the Wife. Stained the shelves to give it a little something extra. Plan on building matching end tables with stained tops and possibly replacing the console top with a stained version.
Made the x console table a few years ago, decided recently to add a hutch top to it. Love how it turned out.

I really love the way this table turned out. It is sturdy and does not wobble. My kids have already climbed all over it, and it seems like it's going to hold up. I was nervous about the yellow (I tried to copy the yellow from the plan), but I love it. It is just the right thing to brighten up my big back yard. I worked on this table off and on for a couple of weeks. I primed and painted all of the boards before I put it together so that I wouldn't have to worry about painting through the small gaps. It just took forever to paint one side, let it dry, turn it, paint the other side, etc. (Is there a better way I haven't figured out yet??) I thought I was never going to be done painting. When we actually put the pieces together, it took maybe 45 minutes, and that's because I'm not very good at using the drill yet :) Good thing I have some help. I intended to fill in the screw holes and paint one more coat, but as soon as it was put together, it was begging to be put in the yard under the trees. So, I let it be finished, and its perfect!!
Fish made the tabletop from white oak and the base is pine. We still need to build a bench for one side and purchase new chairs, but we are IN LOVE with this table...and it somehow has allowed us to dine as a family more.
I made this American Girl living room set with pine wood. It is painted white and 2 coats of polyurethane are applied. The cushions and pillows were sewn by myself using high density foam and fibre fill. I have made 5 sets and am really enjoying making them that I have opened up my own etsy shop!
Rustic X Console, I attempted the suggested finish and may just stick to stain next time!

Got this idea from the blue cooler project - but decided to deck it out with vintage trimmings. Everyone who has seen it loves it! Very fun project.

I'm in the process of building one out of this plan too except I'm trying to use pallet wood. I love how your cooler turned out so I hope you don't mind that I use the same Coke sign. Awesome job!
I need some shoe storage near my front door that would hide all of our shoes. I used the plans from the book for the secretary's desk and added an extra shelf. Check out my blog post for step by step pictures.
I only needed a headboard for the full size bed in my guest room. I attached it to the existing metal frame with carriage bolts. I built matching nightstands from plans found elsewhere on this site.
Thank you for creating Awesome plans

This was the first woodworking project I have undertaken from this site and it is simply wonderful!
very easy to follow plans, and easy assembly.
I have this daybed hanging from my back deck across from my hot tub and it is the most wonderful creation I've ever attempted!
I included a twin sized bunk-bed mattress instead of a traditional twin so that it would be thinner.
I zipped a vinyl cover over the mattress and then added sheets, decorative pillows, a throw blanket, and some lanterns to the platform.
I plan to hang a canopy that will drape over the ends.
The backdrop in the picture is comprised of two cloth shower curtains that hang from eyelets along the edge of our deck.
My very first furniture build! Followed the construction plans and my bench turned out great! Thank you for helping others enjoy this craft!!
Solid Wormy Maple Top, "clear" grade, no knot westerd red cedar 4 x 4 legs, 4 inch lags (no Kreg Jig), Spar Urethane on top (clear satin, 3 coats), and Danish Oil on legs (one coat to keep "dry look"). Wormy maple boards, S4S, joined and plained. Bench is one solid piece of wormy maple, same top coat as table top.
This is my version of the horse stable. I used wood I had laying around in the shop. As a result I tweeked the plans slightly. I use 1x material for the roof and floor. This made is much stronger. I put stops in for the door added hook and eye latch and toped it with gree and brown paint. My Granddaughter loved it.
Two Girl Scout troops combined to work on the Cadette Woodworking Badge and made this birdhouse (https://www.ana-white.com/woodworking-projects/diy-birdhouse-one-cedar-…). We used cedar decking, so some adjustments needed to be made to the plan. We looked up what types of birds in our area would use different size openings. The girls had a great time and worked together to make sure everyone finished in time. My troop has built a lot of projects, but this was our sister troop's first build. They did an excellent job! So proud of their hard work and I get the feeling we'll be building more in the future!

We have really been enjoying our new Weatherly Sectional that I built with Ana's fabulous plans! I love the way it fits perfectly in the little corner of our deck.
I only made a few simple modifications:
1. I added an arm to the loveseat, as we wanted an "L" configuration and not a "U"
2. I added at least twice as many 1x3's for the seat slats, as I wanted to be able to sit on the furniture when the cushions were stored inside. I put about a 3/4" space between the slats for water drainage.
I made a 36" x 36" ottoman/coffee table out of scraps & it fits perfectly.
I bought the cushions from the Improvements catalog and they fit great. They are not as nice as the ones from RH, but they were about $40 each and were 20% off with free shipping. Here is the link: http://www.improvementscatalog.com/deep-seat-chair-cushion-24-1-2f2-22x…

You actually make it seem really easy together with your
presentation but I to find this topic to be actually something
that I feel I'd by no means understand. It seems too complex and extremely vast for me. I am looking forward in your subsequent publish, I'll attempt to get the grasp of it!
Corner unit for kids bedroom. Added fabric boxes from ikea. The fit perfectly
Loved this floating shelf. First time no Ana white and to woodworking. Thanks for the inspiration Ana white. Plans are from Best floating shelf. I used dark walnut stain. And just left the plywood off of the bottom. Low enough so no one can notice it
This was so much fun to make and so relaxing to enjoy.
