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.

This is my second build and I'm so pleased with how it turned out! I bought a Kreg Jig especially for this project, and I honestly don't know how I ever lived without it!

I'd been wanting a new console for our TV and this seemed perfect.

I built this plywood rack for my shop a couple of weeks back. Here is a link to my site with a free set of plans: http://www.lanebroswoodshop.com/2015/02/sheet-goods-rack.html

These were exactly what we were looking for to dress up the front of our house.  They are a great size and went together pretty easily.  Getting the angle cuts right took a few tries, but once you get past that it's all pretty simple!  Also these are very forgiving for small errors and they look fantastic!  We made three for across the front of our house and painted them to match our front door.  For more details on our planters, please follow the link to our blog!

I gave this one to my Dad to do. Of course he made some changes. But she loves her sand box and we love it too! Thought I would share some pictures of the construction after he brought the parts to our house. 400 pounds of sand later.

Built from reclaimed knotty alder

Modified Grandy Console

MY FIRST PROJECT

This was my first ever build, I had a blast! I have always wanted to work with wood but never knew where to start. We have 7 children and we have gone threw so many beds and wasted so much money over the years on cheap beds. I wanted to build something that was sturdy and something that would last. Thanks to Ana White I found these plans. My husband showed me how to use the tools and I got to work. We're a military family so we move every 1 to 3 years, so I had to make some adjustments so it could be taken apart and moved over and over again. Thank you Ana White for these plans and so much more. You have been such an inspiration, if it wasn't for you and your site I would've never have found the motivation and courage to start building.

Created with hand chiseled mortise and tenon joints and a whitewash stain.

Thank you for your doll house plans!

This was a gift for my granddaughters 5th birthday. I altered the stair design a bit to provide a little more durability.

The only part I struggled with was the wallpaper.

All-in-all the project was a success and she LOVED it!

I know this is a pretty basic build but I still wanted to share it.  I used pine for the entire piece.  It took longer to finish this piece than to build it haha.  The finishing process consided of a pre-stain condiitoner, antique walnut gel stain, and several coats of toner.  

This my first real project built in my shop!   I have long admired the projects that I have seen on this site and I could not wait to post a brag picture!
