Used the Garden Enclosure plan as a reference, but wanted a much bigger area to walk through and relax in. Dimensions are about 30'x20'. Took a few months with a break for winter because it was just me working in spare time on weekends, would have gone a lot faster with an extra set of hands. Towards the end realized that drainage in the walk path was going to be an issue so I put in a very basic french drain before I weed fabric and mulched.

Really happy with how it turned out. Cost was pretty high, probably about $1500 all told, between wood, garden soil, etc. But we'll be able to enjoy it for many years.

Another project for my wife. She loves it and I loved building it. Fairly simple.

A friend is opening a new tattoo parlor up and wanted a rustic looking reception desk making up.

Using reclaimed wood wasn't an option so we opted for 25mm t&g boards and randomly cut 1/4 way through it to give the appearance of individual boards. The main carcas is made with 2x4's clad with Baltic birch ply to give it a cleaner appearance from behind and, to give additional surface area to attach the boards to.

To finish inised a combination of forced aging with a solution of WWV, iron sulphate and black tea + coffee, varying degrees of Charing, the walnut and oak stains were by V33 and the whites and greys by French chic.

We used the plans from the Garden Enclosure, but built the sides twice as high to make for less bending. The only problem was this made our wire come up higher so we had to adjust the door height. We haven't produced too much yet, but hoping next year brings a quicker yield. The plans were so helpful and easy to use for us novices. *Sorry I couldn't get the pictures to rotate.

Still need to stain but this was my very first project and it turned out well!  The directions are very easy to follow and I am very happy with it!

Made the planters to hold flowers for a small garden wedding. Used 3-1/2" wide fence boards as my HD was out of standard 5-1/2" boards. Used 11 boards for finished height of 38" top was 18" wide, bottom 12-1/2" using a 4° angle. Ripped fence boards to size to use in place of 1x2/1x3 boards. Added center trim as on another brag post, as well as, framed the top to finish off the planter.

Built the greenhouse from Ana Whites plan
She did the plan really well..

Thants for the inspiration We love it.

Love this! My husband used this project to help boys learn to use power tools and work with wood. They made one and he did the others. THANK YOU!

We too you’re 2x4 shelving unit with some small tweaking of measurements and added a barn door!
