I needed something to organize our hockey gear so I customized this mudroom idea. It turned out great and makes me feel better when I walk in the garage. Everything must have a place!
Easy to do though some thought required for conversion into centimetres .
The outdoor bench was my first Ana project. It was so easy and rewarding that I immediately set out to build the rest of the set!
This table was so easy and so much fun, even for a beginner. In fact, it's so easy I've built it three times. The latest one is my favorite. I think it's the beautiful blue color...

The finish looks really simple but effective, reminds me that I really should finish my other halfs kitchen island I made in February!
I wanted to put a planter around our new mailbox. So, I took your single planter design and build it as if it were three separate boxes only leaving out the interior pieces. It required making a T section for the middle pieces, And I made sure I used plenty of glue to firm up the structure and provide stiffness.
Grandpa modified the simple changing table to match the rest of our nursery furniture.
1/2" oak ply, cedar fence post, 1/4 inch oak ply
First brag! I had a little time to play in the garage and decided to join the scrap wood bandwagon. The wife loves the bunny box and now the mother-in-law NEEDS one. Back to the garage I go...
I’ve been enjoying making the modern Adirondack chairs, only with reclaimed wood seats and backs. Finally made a love seat version.
This is my first DIY project ever. No plans.
I haven't really done anything like this, came out quite well. I modified the back for what I think is better comfort, added side supports to hold throw pillows in place and added 2 extra 2x4's to seating surfaces. The sofa I built in an afternoon with an extra pair of hands to line things up and hold them in place. The sectional took a little longer to complete as my helper was off building his own couch (after he saw how simple it was to do). I also didn't use a pocket jig (couldn't find one in rural hardware store) but a countersink drill bit for all screw holes.

I love the changes! I wish I thought of them myself.
I adapted the plans somewhat. The headboard is made from Pucte, a trpical hardwood with frame of Cedro, a Mahogany. The seats of the stools are also Cedro and legs of Caoba, another Mahogany. I live in Yucatan so these woods are available. The Pucte was repurposed old salvage free
This was the first good-sized project I built by myself. I finished it more than 4 months ago and it still makes me smile every time I look at it. :-) A simple, functional and BEAUTIFUL shelf that will work anywhere and for anyone! I was so impatient for it to be finished I didn't put poly or any clear coat on it and I'm still in love!
Here is a pic of kitchen cabinets I built using Ana's plans.

If you lived near me, I would hire you. If you can do this, your funk tire buying days are over ! Awesome job!

Thank you, this was my first Kitchen remodel. I am not sure if I want to do this for hire. I may just build the cabinets but not sure if I want to install anymore.

I still have to install the back splash and flooring. Going with a knotty pine flooring. I will distress it and I am going to install vintage Common Rose Head nails at the butt joints of the flooring.
I made this project for a friend. It was very important to get straight boards for the back in order to make everything square. Let me know if you have any questions!
Tools Used:
Jigsaw, Hammer & Sander.
FIRST Project! Made this for my brother who works out at home and uses his bed as bench when he lifts weights. tsktsk. It took me 2 days, on and off to finish this. :))
Thanks Ana for the plan. I learned a lot and I can't wait to try and build your other plans. :)
I made this from the kitchen island plans, but added a countertop. It's really sturdy and cost about $65 in materials. I love it.
I basically just followed the plans on this site. it is really a pretty simple build but it helps to have a second person and it is very time consuming.
