I took on the challenge of teaching myself how to make these chairs and use my Ryobi tools. I had sawdust everywhere and loved it, thank you Ana
Preparing for the holiday season a bit early with this Ana White inspired stocking holder from a bunch of scraps. (Stocking made from scraps too. - Robin Chase on Facebook
A few days before Thanksgiving, my mom told me she wished we had a restaurant style high chair for my daughter. The old one was so large and bulky, and was hard to reach food on the table. I knew just where to look for plans! I spent $6 on the lumber and used scraps for the seat and back. The chair is painted in three coats of lime green paint. We used my mom's Cricut to cut the vinyl letters and stuck them on the back. Then three coats of polyurethane for easy wiping and it was ready for straps! I picked up $3 worth of 1" webbing from Hobby Lobby along with a parachute snap clip. I used two small cabinet screws for each strap on the bottom to attach. I decided to loop the front strap over the 1x2 front bar to prevent any risk of splitting by drilling into that thin side. Instead both ends are screwed down on the bottom.
We absolutely love this new highchair! It perfectly fits under the table and Charlie has no trouble eating (and throwing) food now. And for $10, you just can't beat it! Solid wood, perfect color, personalized name. I really love DIY

We love it, and love her more ;) She's a cutie pie, that's for sure!
Modified from original plans to fit the area and our 70" TV.
This is a simple project for the beginning woodworker. There are a variety of bird feeder designs available on the web but I wanted to try something a little different. Anyway, this is my try at a simple bird feeder.
Build Instructions:
Desk was built per the plans. The only adjustment made was to the width to fit the space. Desk was easy to build and looks great! I added Gator Hide to the top to provide water resistance.
This took 2 hours to build with your supply list and plans. Then the next day we painted it.
We love it!
*Also included is an adjustable countertop shelf - "Found the plan yesterday and spent a little time today to make it happen and couldn't be happier with the end product! Hope you dig" - Freddiewah, Niki and Wilson
This was my first project. My wife wanted one, I made one. End of story. Now I'm hooked on woodworking and each time my wife says she wants something, the first thing out of my mouth is, "I can make that".
Simple table built with Aromatic Cedar.
I’ve been searching for a free standing closet for so long!! I stumbled across these plans a few months ago and asked my hubby and brother if they would be up for a little project and boy, did they ever do an amazing job!! I am so happy with this. We ended up making ours a little bit shorter to fit in our room and adjusting some of the other plans. The rods were cut a little short, but everything still worked out beautifully. Thank you for these plans! <3

Thanks for sharing, we chose this as our Brag Post of the Day on Facebook!
I have a hard time throwing out any scrap I have after I finish a project, so I had accumulated a fair amount of 3/4 and 1/2 plywood. I used up every last bit of it putting a scrap wood heart collage in my daughter's room! This is the perfect project for getting lots of practice making cuts on a miter saw for a beginner and hanging it is a breeze if you follow the steps I took in the blog post I wrote up about this.
Easy and free. Love those kinds of project :)
I was tired of stooping to do laundry with my front-loading washer. I used the plans for Sausha's washer/dryer pedestals and tweaked them a bit.
This was my first woodworking project ever. No woodworking experience at all and very little experience with power tools. I am super inspired now and have tons of other ideas lined up.
I had a friend who was interested in a small island with two stools that looked like this offered by a fancy home interior store. The reviews weren't all that great, even for the half off sale price. They needed something small to fit their space that would basically serve as a dining area for her and her husband. It is build out of spruce and whitewood lumber. White paint and dark walnut stain, with poly on top. The legs are two 2x4s glued together , then ripped each side to square it off making it an actual 3" x 3". The stools came from Ana's farmhouse counter stool plan. The island I just went with overall demensions and built it from there. Pocket hole screws and finish nails.
These banquettes are one of my favorite signature pieces that we put in our RV’s. 🌿 They are FULL of great storage, especially for extra bedding and large kitchen appliances. I design them around cushions that I buy off the rack...creating a super custom look at a fraction of the cost. - RV Fixer Upper
There were some parts missing from the plans. I wrote out what I did to build this rocker on my website.

Make sure to use hard wood! My rocker broke within the first hour. Wood glue fixed it but it gave me a good scare!
Just changed the back a tiny bit. My nieces and nephews love these! Thanks for the great plans.

Basic kitchen island
2 bookcases for my family, storage and organization. Left raw for them to customize. Current vision is purple and pink or maybe an ombre stain like we saw on Good Bones. Hopefully I can add update of final decision.
Built as panels adding a large base for holes. Replacement for fire damage wilderness toilets. Loaded into Kodiak aircraft and assembly by volunteers on site. Worked Great! Thanks Ana!! - Wingnut13 RAF theraf.org
