Here is my Providence Table made from scrap wood we had left from building our deck. I am not thrilled that it is made out of pressure treated wood but it is what it is. I used 2x6 mixed in with 2x10's for the top, 4x4's for the legs and used a 1/4 router bit for all the edges.

Thank you! I have been asked to build this for nearly everyone who comes over! Great great plan that saved us a TON of $! Thanks!
We just put in a pool and I needed something to hide a pair of outdoor speakers. I used Klipsh AW-525 speakers.
Basically I raised the bottom of the planter enough to fit the speaker under and had to add a few framing pieces to secure the speaker mount to. The mount attaches to a vertical board and the weight rests on a horizontal board. The wiring comes up from below.
The front panel uses vinyl mesh from Sailrite.com to hide the speaker but allow sound out. Imm planning to hang it with magnets if it doesn't distort sound too much.
My husband and I had been looking at many different stores to try and find a bar table for behind our new couch in our basement. We wanted something that people could eat and drink at when we entertained and/or be able to sit at and play video games. I should have known we were better off to build our own rather than look in a store. It was only $30 in lumber and took 3 hours to build. And another project in the books!
I made two of these...one for each daughter.

So happy to finally get around to this build. Super easy, though I found I am not that skilled with cove moulding...nothing a little wood putty couldn't hide.
I was given an old window that was going into the trash from an old house in Key West that was being remodeled and decided I wanted to use the window as a door on a cabinet. These plans were very thorough and easy to follow. I modified the measurements to fit the window and am really happy with how it turned out. I added some trim to the top and bottom and used beadboard for the back to fancy it up a bit. I painted it in Sea Mist by Behr and distressed it by hand. This is my first post on this site. Thanks, Ana, for making this possible for me!

Love that color! I painted a console table in the same shade and distressed it. Still one of my favorite pieces to date! ( http://www.birdsandsoap.com/2011/07/touch-of-blue.html )Your cabinet looks great. I can't wait to get started building once the weather warms up here!
I had a friend make a request for a console table. We came up with this design to fit her space and needs. It was a pretty easy build.
I used the plans from the "Grandy Barn Door Console" for the basic layout, and then altered them to accommodate an electric fireplace insert in between two cupboards, and an open shelf across the top to put in the stereo receiver. The tv is actually mounted to the wall over the top rather than sitting on the console. Overall, I love how it came out. It's exactly what we wanted!
Came across your shiplap fireplace and tweaked it a little, not bad for a 64 year old female right? Didn't take a weekend though more like a month but worth it. Thanks for the inspiration.

Love the mods for the open display shelf! Thank you for sharing:)
Table mad using the Rustic Table plans.
We wanted a bright and colorful dresser for the baby's room, and one that would match the Will Ruocco dinosaur prints that we purchased for the walls (http://etsy.me/PJ1yOs). This project spread out over many weekends but we were very happy with the results. We choose to go with legs instead of wheels, and made them tall enough that the Roomba would have clearance to get under. For the design, we used a combination of the plans here and a similar plan from The Design Confidential website.
These chairs were really fun to build. This was my first project and they turned out great. Thanks Ana!
Loved building it. Took me and my husband a couple hours to build. Originally wanted to do the lift top but by the time we were ready to do that realized the front sides weren’t wide enough to do hideaway. Wish I could have made it a little smaller but I’m in love with it. Looking to do more projects during quarantine.
We needed a coop for our son's chicken Penny as she was big enough to move outside. We wanted one that would hold at least 2 chickens as we plan on getting a second soon. We found the plans for the a frame chicken coop here and the next day my husband and 5 yr old son got to work. Took them about 3 hours from start to finish and it turned out great. He plans on spraying the whole thing with outside deck sealer to protect the wood and had some trim on the edges to protect the kids from getting scratched by the chicken wire.
This one will be around for a while... heavy as sin, but solid.
Used 11 2x2 removable slats per level spaced 5 1/2" apart by 2x2s.
Added a 44" ladder and back rail and front rail with 30 degree miter cut on 2x4s.
Next time, would have sanded & stained the headboard/footboard 2x6s on the ends before screwing them to 2x4s. Didn't have a sander that could get between the 1/2" gap and the hand sanding from position can be tough. Overall, very pleased with the result.
Kids love it! First of many projects I will be doing from this website.
Used Ana White's Husky Farmhouse Table plans/instructions and then made some of my own modifications to make the legs removable and expand the dimensions a bit. Turned out pretty good! This was my first project :)
Such a fun project and my niece was so excited for her new “big girl bed”

You are such an awesome aunt! Love the stain color, it's perfect! What a big smile on your niece's face!
I made this shelf with hooks a few days ago. Modified the overall length.

Built this as a platform bed for guest bedroom. Nice, sturdy bed.

I Love this Bed. Would love king size dimensions. This is exactly what I have been looking for.
