I altered the plans for the Providence Bench to make this shorter bench, which I'm using as a side table. I love the chunky look of the 2x4s and the angled legs! I built it in an afternoon, but finishing took a bit longer, and I'm listing it as intermediate because of making angled cuts and beveling some ends, but it really wasn't that hard. Cost is for lumber only--I used leftover stain and polyurethane.

Happy spring! This DIY Tropical Pallet Living Wall is so simple that anyone can build in less than 1 hour. It is easy to maintain, and beautiful as well! Free plan included!

My friend got his project done, two weeks before x-mas.

This is my wonderful Outdoor Dining Table!!

My husband's first project and I couldn't be more pleased with the end result.

Thanks Anna White for your EASY to follow instructions!

I really liked and wanted to build the hanging daybed.  Then I needed somewhere to hang it.  Then I wanted to use it during the day (Northeast Brasil - Sun is brutal)

Built using massaranduba wood (Father in law has a woodshop) and the thing weighs a tonne.  

The shades are a 85% sunshade.

It has proven very popular with family and friends.  As of yet there has not been space on it for me to try out.  

Bed measures 1.0M x 1.9M

Project all total took about 120 hours.  

I enjoyed following Ana's simple bunk plans. They turned out great and the girls love them!

I made this to match Ana's rustic x console, end and coffee table!

This was a simple build. You can probably tell from the pictures how it was cut, painted and decorated. The whiskers are just picture hanging wire. The wood was scrap from around my shop and all the other materials we had on hand.

I needed mobile stand for my lathe so I built one using scrap 2x4 and 2x6 boards.  

I started building a different bench, but I decided halfway through that I didn't like my design. I found this, and loved it, so I modified my partially built bench to incorporate the woven back design. I substituted in a few mortise and tenon joints for strength, and used either kreg or waterproof glue for the non-structural joints. The seat bottom is made from 2x4's I resawed in half. I also rounded over the edges of the 'Y' pieces, which I think makes it look a bit more like they're woven together. Thanks for the plans, this is a great addition to my front porch!

This is a modifed version.  I made it with old pine boards that I had laying around.  I used wine corks for the hangers.  No stain or anything on it.  

I love blanket ladders and decided to make one.

I have to admit this was trickier than I thought.

Getting the slightly tapered angle right was a pain in the butt. I do love the final result though.

I used screws and a hammer and random things to give the new wood an old look.

I used the vaseline technique for the paint distressing.

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.
