Was a fun build. Took 3 days. Ana your awesome.

The Francis dining table by Arhaus was out of my budget, but with the table top plan by Ana White and the table base plan by Jen Woodhouse, I was able to create my own copycat version of the Francis table. It took me some time to figure out the stain order and combination, but I couldn't be happier with the vintage farmhouse stain I achieved with just a few layers and some wax. The table is light enough to carry upstairs, but it's also incredibly stable and solid.
My wife has been asking for new dressers for the boy's room for a while now but every time we go out shopping for them I am very disappointed in the quality of what is available. So I decided to make them myself. I have not made any furniture before and needed a few tools to help me out and thought what better way to get both the practice and the tools then build my own router table.
I searched the web for plans and found these great ones. I loved these plans but wanted to make a couple of changes anyway. I decide to build the table top as well as the cabinet and decided to make it a little taller to fit me better. Due to the changes and making the table top it took me 2 days to finish, 1 day for the cabinet and 1 for the top and to put it all together. (Not having used a router before it took me a while to get the template just right to cut in the insert.)
It works great and looks great in my shop. Now on to the dressers.

I need to build one of these!!
Yours looks very nice!
I'm a mother of three kids, so it took me a while to finish, but I also did some additional work on it so I would be able to stain rather than paint it. I used a countersink drill bit to put in a bit of a hole that I filled with wood by using a plug cutter so that it would match more. I also used epoxy in the knot so my son's baby toes wouldn't get hurt. That's it. I love it!

I need to add this project to my todo list. My little one can't walk just yet, but it's coming soon. This will be a cool piece of furniture to have when the time comes. Great job on the build! :)
I followed this plan exactly and it fit in my Grand-Daughters room perfectly. She has a lot of toys and stuffed animals and she needed some place to put them all. I don't like the look of the pet nets and don't like that she couldn't reach her animals when she wanted them. This was a simple project that really didn't cost me anything because I was able to use wood that I already had left over from other projects. It turned out so good and will get so much use.
Very easy project to make. From leaving the house to get the wood, get home, make cuts and assemble was about 4-5 hours. I have used this website as inspiration for other projects, but this was the first that I just followed the plans and it turned out great!. Very sturdy and perfect size. My daughter in the picture is almost 5 and this is perfect for her and will last years for our youngest daughter.
I built this square farmhouse table for a friend of mine. Used the same build as the 4x4 truss table. Just made it square. 64.75x64.75
My take on the Rustic X Console.
Spent two weekend between both the bed and the nightstands. The nightstand were completed one weekend and the bed was completed on another weekend. The wood for the nightstands was purchased at Lowe's. The wood for the bed was purchased at a lumber yard. The lumber yard carried untreated 4X4 posts 16 ft long for $9 each.
We LOVE our finished bed. We started out to make the Farmhouse Queen Bed but decided after completing the headboard and footboard that we wanted some storage with it. We made the frame from the Farmhouse Storage Bed plans without the actual drawers. We wanted a more open look to the storage. We are pleased with the way it turned out and love that Ana shares these wonderful plans online. Thanks again Ana!
I used cedar because I love the color and wanted the natural look.
I ended up creating a cement top instead of using the 2x6's and added 2x2 on the top boarder for added support.
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!
Very easy. Thank you!!
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 double x bench from plans from www.hertoolbelt.com
This is seriously easy to make.
It looks complicated but it really isn't.
I used the vaseline technique for distressing.
This bench looks amazing at the end of my farmhouse bed.
Made a few adjustments - rounded the armrest. Absolutely delighted with it.
My wife and I have couldn't decide where to start our DIY projects, so we picked the Kentwood plans out of a stack and got to work.
Ours are fashioned out of two 1x 12 pine boards, (7/8 x 11 1/4) cut for size. There is a great mom and pop lumber yard about an hour from where we are, and has spectacular prices on just about every kind of wood...saves us about 67% off the box stores.
We had some cedar tongue and grove boards lying around, so I used the cedar for the side and door panels. We also opted to add a shelf to the interior, measuring 13' off the bottom deck.
We did not finish the interior, aside from sanding the shelves, and putting on a top coat.
The top of the nightstands are made with scrap tongue and grove pine wall panels my father-in-law had sitting in his wood shop.
Really fun, enjoyable first foray into the ana-white.com community. Gotta say, having a Kreg jig makes joinery a snap.
