The bench was easy to build with great instructions. I had Home Depot make my cuts for this first project and then I went and bought a miter saw and other power tools for future ones. So much fun.

First of all, sorry for my english, i'm french and i don't speak english often in life, so i don't know now if i still speak and write it well enough to be understood.
We needed some space outside our appartment to room bootles.
When i found the plans on this website i decided to start this project.
It was the first time i used my device "undercaver jig" to assemble or link all the wood pieces together.
Once all the "wooden wall parts" made, i strated assembling the whole wooden furniture.
Then i painted them and once the paint was ok, i protected the wall furniture (painted parts and unpainted parts) whith an uncoloured protective product.
After that the inside was done to be able to store milk and water bottles.
The last part to be done was the upper part. I decided to make it in 4 indepedant concrete parts to be abble to replace it in case it breaks.
As my first piece of furniture, I made a Japanese design inspired dining stool. The motivation was requiring a few extra seats around the dining table when we exceeded the seating capacity of 6.
This stool is all black walnut. I started with a template for the curve, made from 1/2” mdf. This template was used to curve the legs (curves on both outer faces), the long and short stretchers, and also the bench style 18x12” seat. Joinery was done with mortises and floating tenons (dominos). The stool was finished with two coats of Odies Universal Oil.
This was my first attempt at building anything. Ever. I am fairly pleased with how it turned out. There was a bit of uneveness on the back side of the table, where the top joined with the back and where the back joined one of the side pieces. They were hardly noticeable and I was able to sand it down. All joints on the front side of table were prefectly aligned, though. I don't know if the wood was uneven or if it was just an error that was likely due to my less-than-ideal work space. You can check out my blogspot for pictures of the completely finished project.
My husband recently designed and built our daughter's crib. After looking online and measuring another crib to make sure he had the rail spacing just right he came up with a plan and built it over a few weekends. He also built the changing station and will later build an armoire for her room as well.

Beautiful!, I've been searching the web for plans to build a crib and haven't found any, would you mind sharing yours?, I think it looks amazing!
I wanted a new TV and my wife wanted new furniture...we both won...
I chose to make this island 48 inches long to fit my smaller kitchen. I also used pine trim for the bottom shelving to make it more delicate.
We love this desk and customized the heck outta it.
Inspired by the Pottery Barn benchwright square coffee table, I made this approximately 36'' square with one large drawer.
I was making a set of side tables for my daughter and decided to make an additional one for our spare room/guest space. I love to try new wood treatments so I used Apple Cider Vinegar applied with a steel wool pad on this table. Let the steel wool soak for about an hour and then applied. Sanded after dry to even out the finish and then applied a gloss finish to give it a beautiful shine.
Here’s a pic of the Kendall Dresser I built for our spare bedroom. The drawers are finished in contact paper so if we want to change the decor we can remove the contact paper, do a little sanding and re-apply.
As the Superkids are getting older, I'm slowing trying to reclaim neglected areas of our home and make them a bit more stream lined and organized.
(I love organization! It is another true passion of mine.)
Anyway, while Stumbling I ventured upon the site Ana-White.com loaded with FREE easy furniture plans. Upon seeing a laundry storage option, my heart fell for a clean and crisp laundry basket sorter.
Previously, in my laundry area was this chrome rolling cart which housed my mismatched laundry baskets and other miscellaneous items. It was sturdy and served it purpose.
Now, I have all beautiful white baskets all lined up ready to sort all my laundry. Thank you to Superman who surprised me on Father's Day by cutting all the pieces for me so we could get it all screwed together. I love it!
- Purchased 6 laundry baskets at Wal-Mart @ $2.75 each.
- Scrap Melamine in white left over from another project.
- Left over drywall screws.
- Some light weight Spackle.
- 1 small bottle of craft paint from Hobby Lobby on sale after the holidays for 19 cents.

I love this one in the other direction. I also love that the baskets are set back a bit in the cubby so that a spring rod with a curtain can be placed across the front to hide the whole thing from company.
Will you post your measurements on here so I can duplicate it?
thanks!

I have a rolling cart with 4 bags that my family can just drop their Clothes in. I've been admiring these baskets dressers for some time. I notice you left a little more room between each basket. How is that working for getting dirty clothes sorted for you? How much extra space did you put between them compared to Ana's original plan?
My version of Fancy X Farmhouse table with a built in copper cooler!!
I was in love with the RH Merida set because of its clean lines and modern style. Also, the plan seemed simple enough that I could re-create it without a pattern. The only thing that I did not like about it is the lack of arms. I really like to have a place to put my arm or my beverage :) - so I added arms to the design.

It’s beautiful! Do you have a set of plans that you might be willing to share?

This is Awesome. I'm halfway in the middle as i thought I could complete without plans. Do you have any plans could share. Please....

were you able to get plans? I would LOVE plans too! we want to try and re-create this and would prefer NOT to get stuck!

Would LOVE to get plans, would even pay for them! Found rough drawings online but they are chicken scratch and hard to interpret!
Sliding Door Console!

I feel in love with these plans as soon as I saw them, but didn't have front loading washer at the time. So...I talked hubby into buying me a new house, which meant I had to have new washer and dryer, now I have my pedestal..and I LOVE it. It was soo easy to build. The hard part was getting heavy washer on it, thankfully hubby and teenage son are strong!

Good job. And I love how you finally got your pedestal! My daughter fell in love with this, too. It's on my build list for my next visit!
Apothecary Media Console Table. No modifications to plans.
I had trouble with the angled cuts not fitting perfectly. I have a circular saw, not a table saw or miter saw, so I had to measure with a protractor and mark, then try to follow my lines exactly. Tedious, but I like the table. It is mad heavy though!
I had a great time building this project. Thanks For the idea and plans. I added floating shelves to the room.

This looks amazing!
Great work. DId you do anything different to the swing itself? How did you build the frame. I'm looking to do this exact thing for my patio. I don't have anywhere to hang the swing.
Thanks for sharing any info.

For those looking for measurements/dimensions on the legs here
Made the chair and then built the glider frame for it just eyeballing the picture. I can't figure out how to upload a photo of my design, but can try to describe it.
I made mine with a 4x4 on the base of each leg, but a 2x4 would work as well, it was just what I had on hand. The base board on each leg I made 48". From there I put two 48" vertical boards. The vertical boards were centered and from the front edge of the first board to the back edge of the second board. Two 16" boards were then used at the top and bottom of the vertical boards to hold them in place. Cap it off with a 30" board on top of the verticals. This is where you'll attach your eye bolts. I put both eye bolts 3 1/2" back from the front (a scrap of 2x4 works well as a guide). To join the two legs, I used two 52" boards on top of the base 4X4 of the verticals (one in front of the legs and one behind).
