Variation Twin Farmstyle Bed
This is a variation from a brag photo I saw on the Modified Twin Farmhouse Bed. I built two for my girls and also created plans of the variation. We love these beds! They are so beautiful!

Reclaimed this wood from a >100 year old home that was being renovated. This is just the couch portion, I also built the sectional part. I really like how it came out.
based on the loft plans. like other mods, I made the step a bit different. more vertical.
no screws. all bolted together. 3/8" bolts. the posts for docks were made from cut trees. neighbor did the sewing from my design. posts are 2 2x4s glued and dowel and cut down in size to be different. Everything overdone. vertical dowels are supposed to make it ship like. the galley is a bookcase. the nephew and my in-laws love it. way too much time went into it.
I built this stove for a close family friend for her 3rd birthday. For the burners I used heart shaped wooden cutouts. I also added her first name initial to the backboard as well.
This was my first table, great directions from Ana White and other postings. Turned out great, the main addition I had was to add some supports for the ends as it felt like it needed it.
It was a long and brutal process, but so is child birth and I did that twice so... I was definitely a beginner at the start. I learned A LOT from this process and it paid off in the end! Couldn't be happier with the outcome!
Loved this plan! Slightly modified to include a shelf.
After my wife pinned the triple pedestal table, I took a look at the plans and redid them for a double pedestal table 78"x40". This is the first wood project that I have done in close to 12 years, it was good to get back to wood and I look forward to builing some more.
To build I used mostly all pallet wood. This made things interesting because not one drawer was the same and had to custom fit each drawer.
Turned out great! Instructions were very easy to follow. My first attempt at building a piece of "furniture".

We needed somewhere to store shoes and sit while changing shoes, so I built this based on the flip top storage bench plans at http://ana-white.com/2012/10/plans/flip-top-storage-bench-new-plans
Total length of the project was 6 feet, so I added a 1x3 support at the middle. I made the storage top deeper so that it would hold adult shoes by using 1x6s instead of 1x4s.
I made the top into two "doors" so that they would be smaller and easier for our children to handle. I also rounded off the front edge with my router to make it easier on bottoms and shins.

You've done a beautiful job. I like the extra length and how you divided the top so it's not so unwieldy.
Built from the Triple Pedestal Farmhouse Table plans. It took at lot longer than I wanted, but I was taking my time to avoid mistakes. All of the wood is "2 x ?" pine studs. the table is solid and very heavy.
bonjour j'ai réaliser ce projet avec du bois de charpente (récupération) , projet très facile à réaliser avec peut de matériel, le plus compliquer à été de transposer les dimensions de pouces en cm. est-il possible de recevoir des plans en cm ????
This was a great project to get back into woodworking after many years of not building anything. Used my table saw for cutting the 30 degree miters. Plans didn't call for it, but I made dado joints for the shelves using a router. This made the bookcase very solid. For the miters I cut them first and then measured and cut the piece to the finished length. I cut the vertical shelf supports after the shelves were in which insured they were the exact length. A great suggestion is to use The Hillman Group "Procrafter" #8 x 2-in Yellow Zinc Square-Drive Wood Screws. The #2 square drive never slipped out and the screws were self drilling and countersunk themselves. No need to predrill a countersink hole or anything else. Added the chimney after seeing it on another brag post. This cute little item brought a big smile to my granddaughter's face on Christmas morning. The time investment of 10 hours for me was due to rusty woodworking skills and needing time to think about things. Could probably build the next one in five hours. Painting took as long as the building.
I made it a little deeper to accomodate my tuner (59" wide x 21" deep x 35" tall).
I liked the look of the long, top shelf that others makers had built, it's perfect for my 3 front speakers!
These sliding door rollers worked great for the door hardware:

I used 1" x 0.125" flat bar (hot rolled steel) for the rails and door mounting stips (6" x 4). It's fairly soft, so is easy to drill the holes for the screws.
Total cost was about $250, but $80 of that was for the thick cedar top. I used cedar, as I like the colour it goes when ebonized with vinegar/steel wool solution. The door are also cedar. I finished the top and doors with wipe-on polyurethane. The paint was grey eggshell latex.

Hi is it possible to get the plans for that my son would like for me to make for him.
The Parson Tower Desk came out perfect. Also went with the antique white & gloss finish. A slight deviation from the plan to make it a little wider so my daughter would have more room to work (plus all her junk). Also used some nice cabinet wood scraps I had for the surface because it had such a nice wood grain.
We used the basics of the plan as presented but added scroll-cut names and small clipart designs on the backs. He also routed a curved edge along the sides and fronts of the seats for a little smoother look.
For the lettering, I printed out the names on the computer, then applied them to the wood with adhesive for cutting. The font I used is called Epistolar. I had to find one that didn't look funny with the A since there would not be a way to keep the little triangle part at the top. Epistolar was the only font I had on my computer that would work for that. We simply drilled a hole midway below the peak of the A to make it look right. The font itself does not have any cross piece on the A.
For the small Jeep and Rocking Horse, I just looked online for a silhouette of a car and a horse. The rocking horse again presented a slight challenge since if we cut the rocker as it was shown, the horses legs would look funky. We solved that by cutting the rocker part slightly smaller and leaving some space between it and the horses legs.
A few things we learned: Be sure your letters aren't too close together or the wood will split when you are sanding. We had this problem with some of the A's before we drilled the hole smaller. We used a drill press, for the holes, and the board underneath was not fresh so some of the back pieces splintered. A fresh board under the holes would have kept that from happening.
This was a really simple and easy project. I modified the design to fit the scrap wood that I had on hand to lower the cost. This bench is for my 2 year old and is the perfect height for a 2-5 year old. I used chalkboard paint on the work surface and peg board to add another interesting dimension to the piece.
We needed a long bench to cover up our chords and outlets against a fairly large wall. My husband cut holes in the back of the bench so that chords could pass through and we could hide a cable box inside the bench.
It turned out perfect!
