I needed a workbench to be able to create all of these wonderful plans. I used one of Ana's table plans and modified a little. I followed exactly, then I added a second top made out of birch pure bond plywood. I then put 1x2 edging to hide the edges. I used some pretty heavy duty casters with the double locking feature, I had to buy this off the internet.
This was my second build, the first being a 10 dollar ledge.
The plan is from Ana's book, the kitchen island. I can't seem to find it online.
This took me a long time due to limited time, because of work and kids. About 4-6 hours per week, for 2 1/2 months.

I modified the plans slightly to fit our walk in closet.

(made the towers taller, placement, shelving etc.)

We just love how it turned out!

My husband built these for me and it was his first time building anything. LOL. They turned out perfect for me. It takes a little bit because we had to wait through the coats of the finish. Also, the gloss coat has to set for 24 hours before you can use it. It is highly recommended to wait the full 24 hours, we did not on the dresser I refinished of my daughters, and it started to chip. It was so easy and turned out beautifully!

My dad and I built the Rustic X Console table this past weekend based off of the plan! The only differences were that we used the Festool Domino tool to attach everything together instead of the Kreg Jig and our Xs are two pieces that we chiseled out to fit together. This plan is awesome and it turned out great!

This was the first piece I ever made and I was very excited about how it turned out. Last summer I spent a weekend with a friend and she had a bench almost identical to this one in her entryway-- I just had to have it. I took pictures of it from every angle and went home, telling my husband he had to make it for me (he does some woodworking). As time went by and my bench was not made, I finally told him to teach me how to use the power tools... he did and this was the result. I wish I had plans for this, but I do not. I made this bench by looking at the pictures I took of the one I saw at my friend's house. Eventually I hope to get it together in order to make some up-- it was very easy, and I do think someone with some skill (since at the time I had none!) could most likely do the same. I was able to do it about 3 days.

Router table with Paduok, maple and Walnut beauty. Featuring a Bench Dog Pro-lift router lift, I'm going to have a lot of fun making more beautiful things with this one! Loving how this turned out. 

We recently purchased the L shaped couch pictured with the table but we didn't have a coffee table to match it.  I had been wanting to build the Rustic x coffee table for some time and I finally had the perfect spot for it!  To make the table a little more unique I added a herringbone pattern to the top.  

Built this to use as a coffee/smoothie station in our kitchen area. We had some extra space and this was the perfect use for it!

My first attempt at making doors.... turned out pretty well. I might add some magnets just to assist keeping the doors from freely swinging.

This is so much nicer than cutting boards on the floor! I altered the plans by adding extra supports out of 1x3s and adding a shelf to add storage and make it sturdier. Since I added the shelf and assembled the box with my Kreg jig, I skipped the boards along the top and bottom. This project cost me at least $100, between the sheet of plywood, a little extra lumber for the shelf, and all the hardware (the casters and folding hinges were maybe $60, including shipping for the hinges), but it's worth it for the ease of using the saw and the tool organization.

My very first build!!  Thanks for the easy plans.

I made the bulk of this bed from 2 sheets of OSB to make it cheaper. The headboard is from salvaged pallets and scrap studs from a construction site. Baskets or drawers forthcoming. Easy plans to follow.

Thank you for the great plans. It was an easy project thanks to the easy to follow directions. I am getting a lot of compliments on them.

Single door slider.  Made the hardware from standard 1 1/4 flat metal and rollers from a couple pulleys.  Top is rough cut white pine that had some great saw marks and knots for character.  Back is ship lap from an old barn.

I loved this plan from the minute I saw the post. We got the kids and their friends involved in this build. I love having a outdoor table that is large enough to have everyone around.

Easy to build. Just used 1x4's and 1x3's.
