Router table with Paduok, maple and Walnut beauty. Featuring a Bench Dog Pro-lift router lift, I'm going to have a lot of fun making more beautiful things with this one! Loving how this turned out.

I loved this project!!! And am so happy with how it turned out!! I have 4 kids and this has so much space for everyone!
We paired the double trustle table with the farm table benches ( which I adjusted the length and height of the legs to make it kids size.)
The table top instead of a solid top we used 2 1x12 boards. And for the beaches we used 1x10 board for the seat.
Thank you for the amazing plans!
Want to make a king size version but didn't want to waste material.
I made this bed for our cat to see if I could do it.
Since I made it a million kids have played with it, stood on it, ext...I'll post a picture when I make the king size.
Thanks ana

That's so cute! I love it.
My kitties are sure I made our king farmhouse bed just for them :)
We recently purchased the L shaped couch pictured with the table but we didn't have a coffee table to match it. I had been wanting to build the Rustic x coffee table for some time and I finally had the perfect spot for it! To make the table a little more unique I added a herringbone pattern to the top.
Built this to use as a coffee/smoothie station in our kitchen area. We had some extra space and this was the perfect use for it!
My first attempt at making doors.... turned out pretty well. I might add some magnets just to assist keeping the doors from freely swinging.
This was a simple yet very time consuming building. Lots of pieces and lots of sanding. I am really pleased with how it turned out. I stained the edges of all the 1 x 4's prior to assembly just to make things easier. I also increased the sides of the chair from 24" to 26" and set the seat height to 18" to match the bench.
This is so much nicer than cutting boards on the floor! I altered the plans by adding extra supports out of 1x3s and adding a shelf to add storage and make it sturdier. Since I added the shelf and assembled the box with my Kreg jig, I skipped the boards along the top and bottom. This project cost me at least $100, between the sheet of plywood, a little extra lumber for the shelf, and all the hardware (the casters and folding hinges were maybe $60, including shipping for the hinges), but it's worth it for the ease of using the saw and the tool organization.
My very first build!! Thanks for the easy plans.
A local South Floridian found me through Pine+Main. She needed two beds for her older kids. Client hired me to build two queen size storage beds based on the Sumatra Storage Beds from Pottery Barn. These beds took over eight weeks to build. My first time making drawers boy was that a challenge. I installed full extension drawer glides to access all the content in the drawers. Bed comes together in 3 pieces. It is stained Varathane's Dark Walnut. And the top coat is the Rust-Oleum Triple Thick Polyurethane in a matte finish. Built with Purebond plywood. These beds are super heavy and super strong.
I made the bulk of this bed from 2 sheets of OSB to make it cheaper. The headboard is from salvaged pallets and scrap studs from a construction site. Baskets or drawers forthcoming. Easy plans to follow.
Thank you for the great plans. It was an easy project thanks to the easy to follow directions. I am getting a lot of compliments on them.
Single door slider. Made the hardware from standard 1 1/4 flat metal and rollers from a couple pulleys. Top is rough cut white pine that had some great saw marks and knots for character. Back is ship lap from an old barn.
Great Plans. I extended the back with an extra 1x10 and it works great being that I'm 6' 4". Also used a router to round the arms, front seat board, and the top back board. Just need to stain and waterproof for the patio. I'm new to woodworking (besides home trim work). Your plans are great as is or for just getting started. I'm trying this out as a hobby for retirement (sometime in the next 5 years). Buying the equipment now as needed. Thanks so much for the plans and videos.
I loved this plan from the minute I saw the post. We got the kids and their friends involved in this build. I love having a outdoor table that is large enough to have everyone around.
Easy to build. Just used 1x4's and 1x3's.

Awesome looking project! And well done. Do you happen to have any plans for it? I'd like to have one at my house.

Wow, this is plain awesome. Do you have detailed plans on did you make one. Am planning to make a cabinet which fits this dart board - Winmau Blade 5? Will it fit inside it?
Beautiful table
This crate was designed as a shower gift for a grandma-to-be. It was made with solid plywood sides instead of slats but otherwise follows the plans. The top edges were banded to conceal the plywood. The stain used was Minwax oil-based semi-transparent in Classic Gray. The decals were cut on a Silhouette Cameo 4 and adhered to each long side after one coat of poly followed by two additional coats.
Just bought a vacation home and need to furnish the place. Started with the size Farmhouse bed with side tables. Used Behr paint from Home Depot called Cotton Whisper sanded edges and used a dark walnut stain to antique. Finished it off with 2 heavy coats of poly.

Did you use a metal bed frame or did you make the side rails and frame? i am curious how high my mattress will sit above the footboard because I want to make the side rails and use slats. I have a boxspring that I will be using. I dont want my mattress to tower over my footboard. did you adjust the length of the 4x4s on your footboard?
Modified the potting bench plan to make an outdoor bar.
Planters from Easy Build DIY Planter Box. Some modifications, but essentially direct from the plans. I used redwood fence pickets for the slats, finished the frame with an "ancient oak" stain and the faces with spar varnish diluted with paint thinner.
