Two tone rustic table

I used three 2x12s for the top and 4x4s for the legs. Everything else pretty much the same. Final table size 36"x60". Longest/hardest part was sanding and staining
Top: Rust-Oleum Stain Kona

made from poplar and pine. Painted with a coat of black paint then painted with 3 coats of valspar furniture paint in white. I then sanded all the edges to bring the black thru. The hardware is made from a metal bar and wheels made with pulleys from home depot. I even weaved the baskets myself!
Just kidding about that last part.

You had me on the baskets lol! Great job, this is a beautiful piece!
I am new to woodworking and saw your plans for this Christmas tree shelf and I had to try it! I made a few with ash and maple wood, but then I came across some barn wood and loved how much it resembled natural tree bark. I decided that it would look even better with snow accents. I thought you would enjoy seeing a twist on the original plans.

I uploaded these pics and I have no idea why they are sideways?!
My husband and I built this counter height with specs of 351/2" high x 25" wide x 48" long. We are using it in our kitchen as a prep island.

I think you guys did a wonderful job on the kitchen island. I like the fat legs and the 1x4 aprons. Did you consider adding a drawer since you have deep aprons? Is the top a butcher block or did you construct the top yourself? If you did build the top is it suitable for use as a cutting board?
I did a near direct copy of the tool trugs from Jamie and Ana using some 1/2" birch plywood and 1/2" craft wood from Home Depot. I was really happy with the ipswich pine stain that darkened the wood and gave it less of an unfinished look.
Followed the plans to build this.
I used the following pully from McMaster (if you don't have an account, you might know a friend or someone who does):

I've attached prints for the barn door stuff I made and thought it would be nice to share.
Thanks!
My first ever project. Gave it to my parents as Christmas gift. I had a lot of fun building it. Next time I will go easier on wood glue, because some areas that glue got squeezed out did not get stained.
Next project - corner cupboard.
A simple headboard with new pine, distressed to resemble worn barn wood or other reclaimed lumber. I used a wire brush drill bit to eat away at the soft wood of the outside frame, raising the grain and adding a tremendous amount of texture. The inside planks are full-width boards that I scored with a circular saw to create false joints. Each section was stained with a different hue to emulate individual reclaimed planks. I coated with a layer of semi-gloss polycrylic and then a coat of clear cream wax.
Instead of a rectangle, I adjusted the plans to make it a square. It worked out great. As you can see, my pup feels it's her own place. I went with a gray stain on the bottom and Dixie Belle's Caviar for the top. I absolutely love it.
I thought this wood sleigh was so cute, I made it for my mom for Christmas! It turned out cute, it was a good jigsaw exercise! I made it smaller, would probably make it bigger next time, but it's a good size for a table top. She loved it!
Saw a bunch of TV stands in this style on Etsy but they are just WAY too expensive. Found out I could simply order the hairpin legs from Etsy and build one myself. Much cheaper! I chose cedar. It allowed me to go the extra width I wanted (6 foot) and keep the project lightweight. It is a soft wood and prone to scratches and dents, but most of our other furniture is reclaimed and upcycled so I'm not worried about wear and tear.
Using the Benchmark Octagon table plans found here for the inspiration for our poker table we completely customized the top and modified the base to suit our needs! The dining top cover is yet to be finished but we are definitely thrilled with the result thus far especially seeing as though it was our first ever build!
We've struggled with deciding on a design for new cabinets in our farmhouse. Seeing your Barn Door Console plans inspired me. The doors can slide from end to end, be added or removed as desired. The drawers and the dishwasher are inset so the doors slide past or cover them. Than you for sharing your work. It's one of my favorite sites.

Can't wait to see it all built and put together, it looks very functional:)
My oldest son really wanted a toy cash register, and he loves pretending he has a Bait & Tackle shop. I built the market base where the front side is for "Will's Stop 'n' Shop" and it can be turned around and used for "Wyatt's Bait and Tackle". The countertop holds the cash register and shopping basket perfectly. They are great Shopkeepers!
I changed up the dimensions to make a storage bench for the end of our bed. I wanted something different and couldn't be happier with the way it turned out. I stained it with weathered grey, then a coat of golden oak and then another of weathered grey. And painted the box with linen white chalk paint. I love the black knobs with the grey and white!
I only used 2x2s for the legs. I made the seat frame from 1x2s because of the warping I. The 2x2s. It made my life so much easier!
I teach construction at Plymouth High School. This was our first project of the year. The students did the majority of the work with my guidance. I had started the year with the intent to build sheds, but that requires groups of 4. The chicken coop allowed us to work with groups of 2. We only have 50 minutes each period to work, so it took us about 5 weeks to complete spread over 4 classes. Some of the wood was scrap that we had on hand. We cut a lot of it down to size from 2x10s. The roof was scrap metal roofing that we found in a recycling container. There were no trim pieces so we had to be creative and make our own ridge cap. I decided we would add the finials to give it more visual appeal. We took some liberties with decorating because I like to add extra flair - and I have access to a laser and CNC router. We used the plans that Ana developed for Lady Goats. https://www.ana-white.com/woodworking-projects/small-chicken-coop-plant…

Thank you for sharing, I'm sure the students enjoyed that!
This was a fun and pretty easy project. My oldest son has been asking for some bunkbeds for awhile now, so I was glad when I ran into these plans.
The project was realitively cheap, but if I could do it again, I would have used nicer material to avoid some of the finishing work. I built this in one day, but spent sevral weeks on the finishing work, which included two coats of primer and LOTS of wood filler. I took all the edges through my router, so everything would have a nice rounded edge. I also decided to put a cap on the headboard, footboard and rail to finish off the project a little. I liked the look of thes being added.
The original project does not include slats in the pricing and knowing that firrying boards were not strong enough for this task I really wondered what I was going to do. Buying a ton of 1x2's can add up fast, so I decided to make them out of cheap 2x4's. I bought a few 10' 2x4's that allowed me to get six slats out of each of them after I ripped them on my table saw. They ended up being very sturdy 1 3/4" x 1 1/2".
******If I was going to do this project again, I would mark the location of every screw, as I hit some of the screws holding the 2x6's of the headboard and footboard with the lag bolts I used to hold the main rails. I would have also painted all of the pieces individually, put it together and than touched it up, as there were many hard to reach areas with the paint. This would have improved the finish*******
Honestly think it needs a new name, because when all said and done works and looks great.
Going to be making another one at some point, and make some alterations to it to fit a need, and suggestions.
It took me longer then it probably would for some, but then again I am disabled and can only work for short bursts.
Hard to see in the photos, but i used brass knobs on the drawers. I also used briwax on the parts that slide, (the rail, and bottom of drawer edges.. works nicely..
Just finished up this table. I'm probably going to sell it as the wife would rather have the Pedestal Table. So, it will remain in the house until it sells. Then, I'll get to work on the other one. Thanks Ana!
We finally bought a wonderful King size bed but couldn't afford a headboard. After seeing this one on Ana's site I knew I could do it. Purchasing a compound miter saw helped. For some reason the thought of using a circular saw sets my teeth on edge. I've found that using the much sturdier miter saw on a workbench has been a piece of cake for me! I adjusted the plans for the width of our mattress/box springs and didn't go quite as high. But I'm VERY pleased with the results! And I swear we slept MUCH BETTER last night with the headboard installed...LOL.
