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 used this plan, https://www.ana-white.com/woodworking-projects/chest-drawers-2-4s , but I made it a little taller and wider. - The Carpenter’s Hija
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
I used the same cedar fence boards, but for a large berry patch made with minimal cuts. The end boards are 1/2 the length of the long side boards. I made them 2 fence widths high - about 11 inches. Each bed is nearly 12 feet long. I joined the dogeared ends of 2 boards in the center, making a diamond cut out pattern that looked good. In order to support the tall sides, I used cedar 2x4x8 boards. Use 18-24 inch posts on each corner and at the center joint. I cut an additional board in half, affixing it to the center posts, to brace the long sides and add stability. Each box is approximately 3 feet wide, 12 feet long, and 11 inches tall. You'll need 8 fence posts for the long sides, 2 for the short sides, and 1/2 for the brace - you could use a different piece of wood for this, but the cedar fence posts are such a deal. You'll also need approximately 9 feet of cedar 2x4 for the corner posts - I bought 8 foot lengths and cut each into 2 foot posts for stability. The cost was around I'll add 2x4 posts in the spring and put a trellis behind the raspberries. If the birds start to steal my blueberries, I'll add metal or wooden corner posts that will support fruit netting. We're planting strawberries around the base of the larger fruit bushes. The 11 inch sides should keep rabbits from invading. If they are persistent, I'll add a few inches of chicken wire around the top edge. This made the equivalent square footage of 4 of Ana's original $10 beds.

This was similar to the construction I used for a compost bin - will post that next!

I'm putting together several L-shaped raised beds out of 6x6s with the internal walls being 2x6s. This gives me encouragement. I really like the look of this! Thanks.

Combined a few different plans from Ana White and made a tiletop coffee table and matching end table.
TV console is next :)
I built this as a memory bench in honour of my father who died on 27th January 2016. Because of you Ana you gave me the confidence to start building furniture. But because of him I had the skills and desire.
Dear Ana, thank you so much for your excellent plan! I have now made four of these toy boxes over the last eight years for my four granddaughters. Initially, I was tempted to modify your plan and make it out of thicker material such as three-quarter inch plywood instead of half inch plywood, but I decided in the end to stick with your plan and I’m very glad that I did. It is still just as strong and yet it is much lighter in weight this way and easy to move around, which happens quite a bit with toy boxes over time. I’m pretty sure these will be treated as heirlooms in my extended family for many years to come. - Chris Kairys, Franklin Park, Pennsylvania. RetiredWoodworker.com.
