Quick and easy to follow plans. Only issue I ran into was that my miter saw only cuts up to a 50° angle. I set up a jig to hold the 2x2 perpendicular to the saw and set the miter to 30°. Viola, easy 60° angles! Pic attached for reference.
This was one of the first plans that I built and I haven't really stopped since then! These have been in my backyard by my firepit and have held up wonderful. They have had some rather large people sit in them with no problems at all. They are very sturdy and comfortable too.
Had a lot of fun with this project! Glad to have it all put together! Thanks again for providing plans Ana!!

This is my biggest project to date. It's a great craft desk!
I used an oak project panel for the top, and pine for the rest. Finished with Rustoleum dark walnut, 2 coats of poly, and white paint.
Also, I'll probably revisit the hinge placement, adding another on each side.
I used the x-back bench plans to build this bench, but trimmed the length down to 4 feet to fit the space. It's constructed with cedar and is so beefy and sturdy. It has stood it's own against several storms already and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Thanks Ana for all the free plans and tutorials!
My version of the kitchen benches.
This is my first project using my Kreg Jig. Although it's not perfect, I think it came out fairly well and it was an easy project for my first try. I would also recommend buying your lumber at a lumberyard, because it's very difficult to find good, straight boards at the big box stores.
Built for conditions on Mull of Galloway, Scotland. Greenhouse has to stand up to 70mph gales from Irish Sea. Used brick base with wooden frame as per plans on this web site. Nearly same dimensions but changed them slightly to accomodate sheet lengths etc.
I loved this plan. Easy to make, using Kreg Jig . Did it in one afternoon.
My family and I love fresh vegetables, so we decided to try this. It turned out so great!!! I have now purchased wood to build 3 more! I did modify the plan though, as I wanted a 4' X 8'.

Looks simple enough. However, I've not built anything, so I'll have to see
Take some scrap wood, and make beautiful wall hanging art / decor out of these free printable vintage French seed packets of vegetables and flowers ! Perfect gift for anyone who loves garden and vintage!
Here are my chairs i made. The bench is from rogue engineer. All are a nice addition to the backyard.
This was a cool first time project! Initially in my mind I thought, I'm going to make a doghouse! Eehh!...This was simple enough and fun! basic training and very useful! The cedar planter. I must admit, a few mistakes here and there, on my own account, but nevertheless, it looks great and it was an awesome project to get myself introduced to the basic tools and ways of measuring as well! I highly recommend this project for those who are new at this! This was my first time using the tools and first project. I loved it and can't wait to create something else!! I know I'll get better in time!

Congrats, what a great accomplishment! Beware, you are hooked!
Myself and my sister in laws are doing the same thing. Starting tomorrow 3 cedar planters and 2 benches! Can't wait because it is their first project too. I know they will love the challenge as well!
Ripped a 2x4 down the middle for the legs and bottom rungs, so custom 2x2s. 1x2s for the mid and top. Biscuit jointed and edge glued 12x12 Hard Maple Top. Glue and pocket hole joinery.
I made this chair from plans in Ana's book.
Super easy to make. I used all pallet wood for this project so the only cost was the screws.
My wife and I built your green house! It is turning out awesome! I just want to take the time to say thank you for the plans. You are a great designer and generous with your sharing.
I love making thing for our son. i document most of it at http://madeatthisplace.blogspot.com.au/
Our son has a lot of Lego, especially fire engine Lego.
It was spread out everywhere and we needed to contain it.
This fire station playhouse was perfect.
I added a ramp so the cars and trucks could get up to the top level and garage doors on one side as our house is more like a garage then a fire station.
I used scrapbooking paper on the upper level walls and painted a H on the roof for the helicopter. (or in our case a plane).

Awesome job!!! I don't see much built for boys and this is just an awesome playset, I will defiantly be doing something like this for my grandson. I especial like that it's up off of the floor.
When I realized I was going to build the closet tower, i made sure there were plans for the drawers before beginning. Thankfully there were, so that made this a brainless build. Thanks, Ana! Read about the build, here.
7 1/2 foot table using basic Ana White plans. I removed the stretcher to allow for more seating... but reinforced the underside to help make it structurally stronger. I also didn't add breadboards as the boss didn't like them. Painted the benches and legs of the table white.... stained the top with miniwax classic grey with a few coats of poly.
