Long desk

I was looking for a long desk for two people and wasn't able to find anything that wasn't custom. I decided to try and here it is! I now have a massive and sturdy desk I can be proud of.

What plans were these from?
I love your desk and would love to build it for my home office. Are there existing plans you worked from? Or was an original design of yours? In either case, can you forward the plans to me? [email protected].
Thanks!

Farmhouse Truss Beam Dining Table
![](/sites/default/files/IMG_20151206_120542048_HDR.jpg)
I changed some of the original dimensions so that it better fit my dining area. My table top is 41" wide x 87" length. To accomplish this width I used 2" x12"s for the outer boards and 2"x10"s for the two inner boards. My inside supports were all cut to 72" (6 ft) so that we could comfortably seat 3 chairs on each side. I used 2"x4"s instead of 2"x10"s as the breadboard ends (just personal preference). I used 6" lag style screws to assemble most sections and I left the heads (black in color) of the bolts exposed for a more rugged apppearance. The top was secured through the bottom of the 4x4 using counter-sunk 4" screws and 2" pocket screws for the 2"x4" cross boards. I distressed the entire table and sanded smooth.

My Rustic X Coffee Table

Rustic X coffee table I built from the plans on this website. This is the first piece of furniture I’ve built.

Doll farmhouse bed as a present
![](/sites/default/files/_MG_2824%20%28Large%29.jpg)
Built this cute doll bed for a friend's daughter's 3rd bday. I hear she loves it :)
The bedding (which took the longest) was made from my stash, followed loosely the plans at
http://fromanigloo.blogspot.com/2010/11/dolly-bed-fitted-sheet.html
and http://fromanigloo.blogspot.com/2010/11/dolly-pillows-and-pillowcases.h…
I wish I had a nailer; this project would have been faster with that. Predrilling etc took more than I care.
Mostly used left over 1x3s, and the rest was brand new pine.

Note to self: don't sit in chair out back when you have a dog that likes to lick. This chair puts you right at licking height....

Table and chairs for my grand daughter
This was a fun project to build! The plans were very easy to follow and the table and chairs turned out just like they were supposed to. I ended up buying a Kreg jig to put the furniture together. The jig cost $40.00 at Home Depot and it was well worth it because I'll be able to use it on other projects. The plans showed the furniture being prepped and painted but my daughter wanted the pieces to look close to their dining room table so I took the time to stain and varnish them. I built the table and chairs out of pine and I used average dimensional lumber so the whole project only cost around $35.00. If you're looking for good children's furniture these would be good to build.

Farm House Table and Benches
![](/sites/default/files/4e6e2f09eddc6c01c40027d3.jpg)
I wanted a big rustic farm table, didn't want to drop thousands on one from a store, so I decided to make my own!
I built it in the (formerly empty) dining room, with tarp on the floor and plastic to seal the doorways.
Was a big project and my first project so I started with the benches as this site and users recommended.
I used the farm house bench plan - just shortened the dimensions so that I could have two benches on either side of the table. Then I merged the two table plans so that I could have the top with the bread boards but legs that attached underneath (like the rustic table) so that they could be removed when we move. I'll work to upload my plans too.
Used Minwax Wood Stain in "english chestnut" and Deft Satin Wood Brushing Lacquer (instead of a Polyurethane).
Deft Satin Wood Brushing Lacquer to finish.
I prepped the wood by sanding it down to 220 (could have done an even better job sanding, and sanded the table and bench tops even finer).
Used a sponge brush to apply the wood stain, wiped off rather quickly (only a few minutes on the wood).
Used brush to apply Deft Sating Wood Brushing Lacquer. Used spray can of Deft when I ran out of liquid. Didn't go on as thick. Although using a brush is more of a hassle, it had a better coat.

Great Work
Your use of short benches makes the set more family and guest friendly. I usually hand rub my finish, I think i want to build this and probably use 0ak 2X12's (know it will be heavy).
Suggestions?
I will use it on a Florida roofed concrete deck for an outdoor dining area. Typically more formal dinners. Deck overlooks beautiful cove.

Can you explain how you merged the plans to add the bread boards? I would love to do the same!

Plan Guidance
Hi everyone,
Well I didn't see all these comments! Sorry to have ignored your requests for plans!
This is the bench I made (I did four of these, and adjusted the measurements so they were each about 40" long)
http://ana-white.com/2011/01/farmhouse-bench
I was going to do this table, because it matches the benches, but decided I wanted a table with removable legs so it would be more maneuverable when we move!
http://ana-white.com/2009/12/plans-farmhouse-table-knock-off-of.html
I ended up using more of this plan in terms of how I assembled it, but adjusted the plans to have the tabletop include breadboards (the plank on top perpendicular to the long tabletop planks) and I used 4x4s for legs, plus the top was from 2x8s not 1x10s. I put in the optional cross supports too, and additional supports under the breadboard to connect it to the table frame and table top slats.. this is more info than you need, all to say, plans are flexible and you can do what you want!
http://ana-white.com/2010/03/plans-very-rustic-table-and-cool.html
Sorry I don't have detailed notes. I was very picky about the dimensions (based on space) and how high I wanted the table (about 1.5" taller than a normal table). I also measure the distance between the underside of the table and the tops of the benches so I could cross my legs under the table (an odd requirement).
Happy Building!

I like the english chestnut stain. That works so well with this type of lumber. Great job. I plan to use the same stain on the Tryde coffee table I am building. Thanks for sharing your work!!!

Table and Bench plans
Dark Stain Channing Desk
My first big project! Decided to make two cabinets and drawers to make the desk more symmetrical and a better fit to the room. Also decided to go without the knobs and bottom trim under the drawers so that I could just pull them out from the lip underneath. Just a personal preference for me.
I definitely had lots of fun building this desk!

Barn door console
Your console looks wider than some of the others and exactly what I am looking for. Can you provide the dimensions of your console; including the dimensions of the doors? Where did you find your hardware. Thx.
Adirondack chairs with funny back legs
![](/sites/default/files/20190121_150643.jpg)
The project was easy and fun. The plans are perfect, provided you follow instructions. I assembled the back legs backwards and that complicated the instalation of the back rest. I liked the result in the end.
L shaped triple x desk
![](/sites/default/files/079EF393-643C-4F7A-AA3C-DAD7641F00B8.jpeg)
We built this desk over Christmas break with my son for his bedroom.
Ran all wood through a planer and used pocket hole screws and Tite bond 3 glue. Black stain and satin polyurethane (3 coats) for the frame and my own stain concoction for the shelves and top treated with 2 coats of Odies oil.
He was very pleased and we enjoyed our time working on this project

Numbered Cubby Shelf
![](/sites/default/files/Shelf.jpg)
I loved this project and knew I had to do it. I decided it would work great for all that little stuff I had accumulating on my scrapbook table like glues, pens, scissors etc, now I will have room to actually scrapbook!
Revised barn bookshelf
![](/sites/default/files/3154835135_1380581330.jpg)
I changed the overall width (now 42" & height 34") to fit my space. All roof/shelf angles are cut at 22.5 degrees still. I used a circular saw beveled and upon assembly, I needed to caulk the seams. I also caulked the joint of divider and shelf and filled in the pocket holes to make it "prettier" before painting. I made a barn door to go in the middle cubby on the bottom to make the bookshelf interactive, but the dividers weren't quite square and the door made it more obvious. Definitely a fun build!
Cut changes:
bottom - 40.5 inches
middle shelf - 42 in at longest point
loft shelf - 32.5 inches
top roof pieces - 17.75 inches (I originally cut these at 18.25" & then removed another .5" from each piece)

End table
![](/sites/default/files/IMG_20190209_162238.jpg)
This was easier than I thought. My kids helped me with it. I decided to leave the bottom shelf off as it can be added at a later time if desired.
I'm going to take the same concept and make two loft beds for my kids.
Kalakoa Planter
This planter was made from all reclaimed woods from a door, book shelf, a pallet, and a fence that was being thrown away. I like to try to keep the landfill from overflowing by reducing as much waste as I can. Every piece of trash counts you know! Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Reclaim! Me go eco....you go too!
