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.

I followed the plans except I decided to do a chevron top instead of the 3 long boards. I used two coats of gunstock stain on the major partrs and 2 coats of semi-gloss clear on everything. Also I did not put caster wheels on (client did not need this thing rolling). 

Another fantastic project built! We used the Narrow Farmhouse Table plans to create a Sewing table.

I built this for our entry way at our cabin. I added a drawer at the top for sunglasses and keys. 

I built this using the plans for the Perfect End Table. I made it a little taller and jazzed up the shelf a bit.  The whole project cost me less than $35!

I wanted to make a quick spring decoration. I dug through my scrap wood pile for some inspiration. This past winter, I made some snowmen out of scrap 2x4s. I decided I would make a bunny out of some scrap wood.

This was super easy to make and it didn't cost me anything at all! What makes it great is that it is completely customizable! This would also make a great spring craft for the kids!

6 foot sliding door console with barn door style doors. Dark walnut top. Handmade hardware for the sliding door.

Today I built a workbench from wood found in my alley. No money was harmed during the making of this workbench #renew #reuse #recycle

I made this for my daughter for Christmas.  I used peel and stick tile for the back splash and marble look contact paper for the counters. 

Great plans!  I tweaked some dimensions to make it several inches longer, and I made the bars 12 inches instead of 6 to open it up more.  Clyde loved it immediately!!  It goes perfectly with our craftsman/mission themed design.  Thank you!

Easy and fun. Don't worry yourself over the angle on the left side of the stringer. The 15 degree one matters, the other, not so much. Buy an extra 1x4 unless you want to spend a pile of time figuring out how to cut them to maximize the space!

wife wanted restoration hardware table after looking at the price decided to make it myself cost was about 300-350 dollars -  spend a nice amount of free time on it ~ 10 feet long - solid pine wood

im not a such a skilled carpenter but think it can easily be done with the correct tools

This was my first building project. All in all I'd say it was pretty easy. My husband had to help me on some parts because sometimes you just need more than 2 hands! I love my table and can't wait to start my next project. This was pretty large scale so I think I'll tackle something smaller next time.

We wanted to a group painting class that seems to be really popular right now and offered all over the place. Instead of spending $30/person on a class we thought we would try doing something like this on our own! We had a great time and would do it again! Ours was smaller than the original in the tutorial because we wanted to make 4.  Each person found an image online that they liked to make it more individualized.

Now that I've had a taste of working with wood, I'm ready for more! Ana, you're an inspiration! Thanks for the great site!
