Only change I made was I used 4x4s instead of 2x4s. 

Needed a mudroom revamp. Small space with 6 kids. I was able to hide the microwave, charging station, and my wife's bags(my secret favorite). Thanks for all your plans in the past that have helped me really grow in building things around my house.

Farmhouse Queen bed. My first project! I used one coat of an Ebony stain. Modified the bed frame a bit. Bought some detachable brackets for easy take down and put together. Also used tounge and groove in the middle of the headboard and foot board.

I followed the plans pretty closely. As you can see, I added an extra 2X4 inside the uprights. This gave me room to mortise the 2X4s that run under the table top. Very sturdy and useful. The third pic shows when we used this table for a birthday party. Matched up exactly with our dining room table! It only took one extra 2x4 to make the alterations.

My wife has been asking me for quite some time to build her a bench for the front porch. I finally found some time to make one. I looked at a lot of different benches on Pinterest, YouTube and other websites and I presented the options to her, and she liked this design the best. She only had one request and that was for the top to match the front door and the frame to be white. I have a step-by-step video of how I made the Farmhouse Bench (Click Here) to see the video.

Something fun. Tic tac toe toilet paper holder. went in a college students restroom. Doug Cutts

The table top is modified from Ana's farmhouse table, the base is modified from the storage table and the chairs are modified from the extra tall bar stool. This project took me the weekend to complete, because of those darn chairs!!!

This is the third time I built this table. Everyone who has it loves it because it is the "perfect size". This last build was someone not as rustic, so I opted a premade round table top. This probably added $15 to the project but saved at least an hour.

I really liked the sleek design of the concrete topped patio table. I needed a plant stand for an epic boston fern on my front porch, so I modified this design to use 1x2 cedar and topped the stand with a piece of travertine tile. I like the way it turned out. It's winter here, so no front porch photo, only a sad photo in our kitchen which we are in the process of remodelling.

We made this little no-plans table from leftover pieces from a platform bed and pin legs ordered online.

This is the result of my interpretation on Patrick's Jelly Cubbard. Unless the cut

list has been updated there are some corrections that need to made. The rails

at 11" are too short. I adjusted for this by making them 14" and my rails run the

entire length of the door tops. If you prefer to have interior rails then the stiles

must be changed. The easiest fix for me was the rails. It took me around 9

hours to complete however my shop was already set up for this project. Each

station was ready for all of the cuts and my pocket hole jig was already set. I

spent minimal time sanding as I wanted to have a bit of a rustic look and I

wanted the stain to have sharp contrasts in the color over different sections of

the woodgrain. I used knotted pine for for the 1x12's and knotless for the front

and shelves. I used beadboard paneling for the back and the panels on the

doors attached with 1" screws. The hinges were purchased right off the shelf

from instock items in a big box store as were the pulls that are a close match

in color. I added magnets at the bottom to keep the doors closed. I also added

a piece of simple molding around the top.

I will be doing another one of these to which I will add punched tin panels to

the front doors. I really enjoyed this project and other than the cut list causing a

minor hiccup everything was spot on.

I slimmed down the body, added a third wing, and rounded the tail fin. This is one great toy - lots of fun!

This is what I was doing a year ago before brain cancer took over.

Super easy bookrack made in an afternoon. Great addition to any childs room or maybe even a smaller version for an avid readers bathroom.

I have wanted to build this bed for a very long time. I finally bit the bullet, stopped procrastinating and just got on with it and thank god I did. It was actually easier than I thought. It just about built itself! I built this bed taller than the plans called for. I used joist hangers to support the mattress beams. The joist hangers were attached to the inside of the siderails and the mattress beams just slot into them for easy removal. The most time consuming part about this build was the painting. It is extremely sturdy. This bed will last a life time.

Made for my daughter for christmas. hope she likes it 

I loved the idea of a loft bed for my daughter to maximize space, but wanted more farm house style. So, I made a few modifications and it turned out better that I ever could have imagined. Raising it up just a bit more allowed for a custom desk build for underneath as well. - Anna
