Started with the Farmhouse Console design and ended up modifying a bit but still wanted a similar look of the console. This was my first time building a piece of furniture so not too hard, just more time. Here are my changes: 37" height (12" height between shelves plus drawers and 1" top) 23" base width (wanted to use for storing clear bins) 25 3/4" top width 65 3/4" main top length 22 1/2" lower top length (wanted to a place for my printer with storage for paper below it) 88" (full top length) 34" interior width large section (2 bins for each shelf) 18" x 2 interior width for smaller sections (1 bin for upper and lower) 18" x 4 1/2" drawer opening 34" x 4 1/2" drawer opening 1 - 32 11/16" w x 21 1/4" drawer with 18" Everbilt full extension ball bearing slide set 1 - 16 11/16" w x 21 1/4" drawer with 18" Everbilt full extension ball bearing slide set Additional Notes: - Used Pine/Spruce Edge V planks (.25" thick, 3.5" width) for sides and back - Used 2x4 for drawers with 1/2 birch plywood for bottom and 1x6 face (19" and 35" long) - Assembled with pocket screws, GRK finishing screws and glue just like the farmhouse console instructions. - Had to modify the location of the 2x6 slats for the two center legs to account for the change in length to keep the 1" space between them. As noted in the title, I experimented by making the top using lifeproof vinyl "Trail Oak" floor planks glued on top of 3/4" birch plywood and trimmed it with 1 x 2 stained to match the vinyl flooring. I'm pretty happy with the turnout but was prepared to use 2/6's if it didn't look the way I envisioned.

Loved building this recycling center. Basically made three cabinets from the plans and then attached them together. Now the dog can't get in the trash and the recycling and empty cans don't gather in the counter and it looks great! I used piano hinges for the doors which makes them feel much more stable.

I had been hunting for a desk for several days, and this took less time to build than most of my shopping trips. This desk plan was so easy! I made it from start to stain in less than 3 hours.

This is the application of the "Vegetable Rack with Slide Out Trays" from Ana White.
I just added a door and some mosquito net, to avoid midges in summer.

I don’t know anything about carpentry but my wife seen this and told me that I can do it and I said no way so she trusted me and here it is. Mirror was bought at the Goodwill $2.00 thank you

Ana White 4x4 truss table with matching bench.

I began by first making 3 cubes of shoe shelves out of 3/4 oak plywood. After assembling I coated with joint compound and sanded smooth to get rid of grooves and grain. The hutch was assembled in 2 sections. I used a router to slide the shelves in so there were no screws visible. I applied primer/paint/ poly in these 5 large sections. The sections were then but in place in my mudroom and connected for installation. The bench top was custom measured to fit as the walls were not perfectly square. The bench top was stained/poly before the hutch was set into place. Paneling was attached to the back of the hutch unit before lifting in place. Barnwood was also installed where the hooks were attached for an added detail. I used 3/4 x 1/4 trim to finish the sides of the plywood and trimmed down mulion for the 1.5 inch sections needed for the bench trim and sides connecting to the wall to hide gaps left from un square walls.

Made this for a friend who does cuttings of her plants for others. I used the Simple 2x4 potting bench plan and modified it to hold an inset 7 gal. Commander tote box with snapping lid with two 2x4 @ 22" braces to support the tote on each side attached to the front and back aprons. She wanted something that would hold a medium size bag of potting soil with a lid to keep snakes and other critters out since she lives in the country. There are plenty of hooks to hang tools and other items.

Easy to do though some thought required for conversion into centimetres .
