This was my first project and I am so pleased! The stain is beautiful and once I got the hang of it, so easy to complete. I am excited to try a new plan and keep going!!

This is my first piece of furniture I've ever made that didn't come in a box ;) The instructions were so clear and easy to follow. I wish I'd had a table saw for the piece of live edge (it had live edge on both sides so I had to make a 6 foot cut with my circular saw that came out not quite perfect, but I am choosing to think of it as adding to the charm. Might go back and add some shine to the top, but for now I'm super happy with it.

I followed the Rustic X Hall Tree plans almost entirely. I chose to replace the “X” with vertical posts, though I may use the X in a future project. The bench top is two 1” thick oak boards milled at my farm. Love the contrast of the white and stained oak. The plans were perfect!
I altered the plans to fit a twin mattress. It’s a bonus sleeping area on the porch. My second project. I’m a 69 year old female and enjoying the building.

We build this bunk bed from the Rustic Modern Bunk Bed plans. We finished it with one coat of primer and one coat of Dunn Edwards Swiss Coffee. This project was made easier with a Dewalt 12'' sliding compound miter saw, Kreg K4, and a speed square for every aspect of the project.
Built mostly from the Simple Bunk Bed plans on this site with a couple of modifications. Namely: made a vertical ladder, used Rockler Bed rail fasteners, increased bed height to fit 3rd twin mattress underneath for when my moms visits, and made a removable bottom safety rail that slides on when my daughter goes to sleep. Overall it was a fun project to do and they kids are really enjoying it.
One of my coworkers asked me to build a new stool for her girls. I used the simple stool plans and she loves it.
storage for totes - can be made to accommodate any size totes - just adjust the measurements basically it is "ladders " 2x4s for legs 2x2s for "runs" 2x4s across the bottom & top this is in a basement with short ceilings so if you have a taller space you can go taller or you can go shorter.
I made these modern Adirondack chairs for our business in Anchorage. GREAT and easy to build design by Ana - we upgraded the arms to tapered 2x6 and they're awesome!
Thanks for the great plan Ana! Super cute addition to our bathroom!
I turned some old oak shelves that I got from an estate sale into a 3' wide Scandinavian slat bench.

I used Ana and Jaime's desk organizer plans to build this, but I'm using it in my craft room instead for my needles/hooks/small accessories. This plan was part of Ana's Handbuilt Holiday plans found here: https://ana-white.com/woodworking-projects/desktop-office-or-vanity-bea…
This was quick build. First time for us using trim, so we wasted a few feet getting the angles right. We attached the legs directly to the frame, and did not use the metal brackets. We also did not build the floor frame. We measured how high/wide the laundry baskets ($3/piece at Target!) were, and made it to fit them. We added a piece of rubber mat to the top (bought at Lowe's). A few weeks later we helped our daughter and son in law build one for their new house!
DIY Ladder Shelf to use as a plant stand on our courtyard deck.
We wanted our chickens to have plenty of room for when we ere not home and could not let them free range in the yard. One of the six was a rooster-- and long story-- but we don't have him any more-- so 5 chickens now enjoy this coop/run. It cost about $300 in supplies. It is 16 feet long.
Worked the farmhouse style toy box with two colors of stain. Try and square this up BEFORE you add all the sides. I made that rookie mistake and was 1/8” off; not a huge deal overall but it made for a super snug fit when I put the bottom board in. Overall, super sturdy and I like how it turned out.
I made this Ice Chest Cart for my son’s schools silent auction. It features a spigot for drainage, bottle opener, hook for a bar towel and I also set it on castors so it can be easily moved.
My dad and other mother asked me to build them a rolling pantry to house a fridge, recycle, canned good organizer and sized to fit their existing dry food containers. Using Ana's free design tool, I was able to incorporate all of their asks making this little alcove much more functional! It took some figuring finding the perfect fridge and recycle bin that would fit the space. I left room at the top of the recycle so there would be plenty of room for larger recycle items. The heavy duty casters allow this unit to be moved around easily if needed. I built this in 2 pieces with pocket holes, added edgebanding to the front and added a hole for the power cord placement.
This is a corner entertainment stand. I didn't have a plan to follow so I made it up as I went. The dimensions are 40" L xW and 27" tall. It has a base hidden underneath it help support the weight and is also screwed into wall studs to prevent tipping. The angle for the front cross section is 22.5 degrees. I made this for a friend. She is going to paint it unfortunately. Materials cost only around $120. 3 sheets 3/4" plywood, some 1x2s and a couple hinges and cabinet knobs.

This is REALLY a nice looking corner unit. In our living room, the ONLY place for the tv is in the corner. I have a prebuilt unit now that cost me quite a bit, and we hate it. Its all modern with glass shelves. This corner cabinet is EXACTLY what I want to build. I have a 1 year old so having doors to hide the electronics is a must.
I would VERY much like to build this. Are there any more detailed pictures or a plan I could download? Ive been searching for the last few days an just cant seem to find anything that catches my eye like this one.
Looks great!!

The shelves are made out of premium plywood. For the top, bottom, and the middle shelf, I measured and cut out on pieces of plywood. Then used plywood for the "walls" of the unit. I trimmed it with 1x2s. The doors are also plywood. I just rabbit jointed nice wood for the frame of the doors. Underneath the the TV stand is a 2x4 set back a little bit to give it that floating looking. It is anchored to the wall on the inside of the unit with screws going into the studs of the wall. I hope this makes since.
