This is our first real furniture project. We wanted a large enough table to be able to sit 10 people comfortably around without the table legs getting in the way of the people on the corners. We are really happy with the way this turned out. Each leg was joined with a double floating mortise & tennon. The overall dimensions are 47" wide by 80" long by 31.5" tall.

This plan was so easy to follow. I love my new workbench!

Hanging bed for my daughter built from the "Easiest Hanging Daybed Plans". Super easy to do and looks and feels great!

Farmhouse / cottage style bed based on your plans.

I wanted a bar lounge on my patio so I built it from your plans. We had a July 4th party for the my family. It was so nice.
Everyone was surprised I had done it myself.
I also made a corner table but unfortunately it doesn’t show in pictures.
Thank you! Your plans are amazingly easy.

I decided to make these awesome ottomans that were featured on Shanty to Chic. I love them so much. I am new to the DIY world but loving it. You can catch my adventures trying to make this bad boy at my blog at ifshecandoitsocani.blogspot.com

This was a great project. I had some trouble with getting the X's perfectly connected (due to off square boards) and had to use some wood filler here and there. Beyond that, everything came together really well. The longest part was getting the finish just right.

I had some pallet wood laying around and felt like taking on a small project. The boards were warped, but after fighting with them a bit, it turned out well. I was going for the reclaimed, rustic look anyhow :) I find it a little heavy to actually use as a caddy, so it's more for decoration. I think I might plant a few herbs in it, for a little portable herb garden.

- made directly from the plans
- decorative hardware was spray painted "flat black"
- there are decorative bolts in the legs, they were installed after these pictures were taken.

I am so ridiculously proud of myself... This was my first wood building project and now I think I'm addicted !!!! Next project a bookshelf!!

My first brag post ...Fun to make

Our Friends wanted a new bed frame in the worst way. They gave my husband free will to design a bed for them and this is what he came up with. headboard is made out of car siding. has 2 hinged doors, 2 battery operated led lights, lots of shelves. basic rails and foot board!

My son had been asking if I could build him a desk for months, so I finally decided to get it done! I found this to be a fairly easy build and with some minor changes, will likely build additional ones in the future.

This was my first project. It took me a weekend to build and prime. Since I chose to use a crackle finish, waiting time between coats extended the total time to one full week. My husband and I were supposed to make this hutch together, but I became obsessed and did most of it alone! I adjusted the size a bit to make it larger, so I could fit big pieces on shelves and in cabinets. Thanks for the plan Ana!!

Tables i have made and sold

This was my first project!!
This plan took me about three weeks start to finish working off and on (multiple hours on weekend days). I widened the table to 48 inches (the dimensions for my table are approx 84" long x 48" wide. Used 4-2x10s and 1-2x12 for the table top and 1x8s for the bread board ends.
