I had my mitre saw on a stand I had purchased and it was ok. Hard to move around, but it supported the saw ok. Frustrated over having to drag it around every time I was using it. This cart is smaller than the old stand and easier to move around.
Built in bookcase with lighting and power outlets in cupboards for audio and DVD equipment to feed to the wall mounted tv (to the left).
The photo with the lights is when it was unfinished and I also decided that I didn't like the inset doors and so made new overlay ones. Now I have four doors I need to use on another project...
Saw this clever side table on Pinterest. It's made out of 1 1x8x8. I was able to figure out how to build a jig for the table saw to suit the project and then it was easy peasy lemon squeezy from there.

This is so clever and would make an inexpensive yet first-rate gift! I love it...thanks for sharing.

I would love to build this unique table, but can't seem to find some actual plans with dimensions and jigs

Would you please email me the plans for this table. Thanks so much
My mom and o completed this weekend project together! It was so fun to complete! The table is customized to 7ft and the benches made smaller than the original plans so they slide under the table when we’re not using it. We made it for our homeschool room. The kids are excited for this space already and we all have the room we need to get our work done! Under $200 start to finish! I used a prestain to prep the wood and then stained with watco danish oil in a natural finish.
I created this work table by modifying the Beginner Farm Table. I made it counter height and added a shelf underneath. It is 5 feet long and the top is five 2x6 boards. The shelf is 1x6 boards.
I purchased 4@ 2x4s and 3 @ 2x6x10 - I got the store to cut those in half (5' lengths). I cut the 2x4s on a miter saw.
This is my first project. It probably took a bit more than 6 hours given I was learning to use the saw and trying to find the tools to do the job.
My wife wanted a fireplace in our main living room, then we added the shelving on each side
This is my second project using Ana's plan. Plans were easy to follow.
I built this for one of my friends that gave me the dimensions he needed. He gave me complete control with the only caviat of needing 2 drawers. I used Premium Pine from Menards, Minwax True Black stain and Minwax Satin Polyurethane. This one came out better than I expected!
My wife wanted a farmhouse dining room table for our new house, I wanted to get into woodworking so these plans were a perfect fit. Bonus was adding a few tools to my collection! Revised plans to two pedestals and shortened about 2 feet. If I were to do over I would have stained and poly'd separately, but I tried to save steps because I was finishing inside the house and didn't have time for separate steps before leaving town. Ran into a few hiccups along the way but both my wife and I are happy with the end results.
Worked with a client to create a boot bench with adjustable shelves. The Essential Entryway Bench was a perfect starting point! I extended the top trim to home the 4” cushion. I love Ana’s plans! Thank you!!!
Made for daughter from your plans,made console longer and a little higher.
This was my first building project! I had so much fun with it ... for a guy that can't even hang a photo on the wall! My dad helped and he had all the tools. I spent a few weekends with him so not only was a good father/son project we had something to show off at the end. I think I've caught the woodworking fever.

Your bed turned out beautiful. I love the finish, that grey stain ads so much character!
Mon, 12/23/2013 - 12:10
I really like the look of the stain. I would be interested to know what changes you made to the original to achieve this look. Also, where did you find the lumber? I can't find knotty alder around here.

Is there a way to find the materials needed and specific instructions on how to make this bed? I LOVE IT!

Hello,
This is awesome, I've been looking to build a bed frame for my new apartment. Does anyone know where I can find the plans for this project.
Similar to the person above me, I am new to this and not quite sure what to do. If anyone can provide me with a little insight to this project I would really appreciate it!
Thanks!

I would love to see the plans for this bed. Please post them if you can! Thanks

Love the bed! Where did you get the lumber? Specially ordered or just regular pine from the store like Lowes or Home Depot?
For our 2 1/2 year old granddaughter.
My wife and I built this Refreshment Console as a birthday present for our daughter. She had previously purchased a beverage refrigerator and wanted us to adapt it inspired by your barn door console project. Thus, we modified your plan to accommodate the height of the refrigerator. Also, she wanted three shelves with a closed back on the right side of the cabinet. Simply plan adjustments were all that was needed.
Using your plans, material list and excellent video we were able to construct the barn door rails and hangers using 1 ½ inch fender washers which sandwiched three 1-inch fender washers. The metal bar was sized to fit the top of the cabinet and connected to the top trim board using spacers, washers and bolts. As we decided to place a middle support for the bar, we added a t-nut into a center plywood partition so that we could use the same bolts, spacers and washers to support the rail.
As we were following a rustic theme, we decided to add the X Braces to the barn door and used a project panel board as the top. The barn door is guided at the bottom using a simple U shaped metal bracket that we lined with felt for a smooth glide.
So my son needed a bunk bed and we came upon the sweet pea bed. It was too girly for him so we decided to go with a theme that would be timeless, something he wouldn't mind having when he is 18 (or older, he is 10 now). What is better than Mario! (We are a house full of gamers, my 17 year old is super jealous of this bed lol). The build was fairly easy and the plans were straight forward enough, the time consuming part was the painting (without all the painting we could have probably build this in a long weekend). We changed a few things, like not arching the top windows, adding the 4 inch 2x4 squares to the top to give the castle look and stairs are made to look like stairs from the side so we stepped out the banister instead of angling it.

This is the coolest bed I have ever seen! I wish I could make this for my youngest. I could probably build it, but I 'm pretty sure it would go downhill when I started painting it. You did an amazing job and your son is a very lucky boy!
Wed, 01/01/2014 - 16:10
You can totally do it! I am a horrible painter (I'm too impatient) and you can't tell with this because of how forgiving the design ends up being. There is so much going on it's hard to pinpoint the mistakes. :)
Wed, 01/01/2014 - 06:31
Super creative. I can't think of a word to say just how cool this is! Wow!
Wed, 01/01/2014 - 06:58
That is the most spectacular bed I've ever seen. I have a 5 year old son. :) You are a genius.
Wed, 01/01/2014 - 16:07
Thanks so much! This was the first thing we ever built (although my husband did a lot of building stuff in his youth we have never done anything together and I was a total beginner) so we are very happy with it. :D I appreciate all the kind words.
Wed, 01/01/2014 - 18:27
Wow! I'm super impressed, your version is awesome! The stairs are very cool- well done!
Tue, 08/08/2017 - 05:14
This looks amazing! :o The kid version of myself would adore this. (haha no the adult version would too)

We are super excited to build this for our 9 year old son. To make this a Full size bed am I correct in thinking that I only need to alter the side panels by adding 15inches? I am paranoid about building it and the mattress not fitting. Thanks so much!
Added some storage to the garage. Wife got some more room for her canning. Looks much better than older metal shelving. Thanks for the ideas, again!
This was our first build from wood to finished product! I had done some refinishing furniture project, but never a project from raw wood like this. It was easy to do, the hardest was installing the smart lights and making sure they worked!
*I did not have any plans to work from*
the cost really depends on how much you can get your wood for. I had a lot left over from previous projects, so $500 is only a low guess.
This is the second of 3 poker tables built.
Each side is 24"
the table measures 58" across
Some of the accompanying photos of the build were from my first table, but thought they might help.
I purchased a foam pad and "speed cloth" from a local poker supply store. The slide away bev. holders are kept in place with rare earth magnets
If you need any specifics, I'll try to help

I love this! This table is perfect for home games. Please post the plans.
I built this slightly modified Daybed using 4x4’s for the legs instead of 2x4’s. I really like the solid look the 4x4’s provide. Can’t wait for the weather to get cool enough in the south to sit outside.

Entry way bench. The top is made from a cherry tree off our property. It was milled into slabs then I had it dry for approx.2 years before the moisture level was appropriate to build this project. I applied resin to the live edge to protect the edge from breaking off and to provide a smooth finish. I applied Walrus furniture oil to complete the top. The base is made from pine wood and the shelving is made out of MDF board.

I used the plans for the queen farmhouse storage bed. I left the middle sections open on each side for guest towels
