Fancy X Farmhouse table with 4x4 base
I used 4x4 post for the base.

Wife fell in love with these plans from Ana White. Took longer than I want to admit to finish, but looks amazing! Thank you for the plans Ana!
This was my first major project for my wife with a set of new tools to start into woodworking.
I built this table for a friend a few weekends ago. The reclaimed top turned out amazing!
My wife had decided we need to do something special for our great niece's. .Oh that I should. Lol..It was a great experience, and I would do it again. .

These are darling! What lucky girls your nieces are! Awesome job!
Angled leg nightstand. Legs made from 4 by 4's and angled at 5 degrees.
Finished in Varathane Worn Navy and two coats of Satin Protector
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! :)
Quick and easy to follow plans. Only issue I ran into was that my miter saw only cuts up to a 50° angle. I set up a jig to hold the 2x2 perpendicular to the saw and set the miter to 30°. Viola, easy 60° angles! Pic attached for reference.
Had a lot of fun with this project! Glad to have it all put together! Thanks again for providing plans Ana!!

This is my biggest project to date. It's a great craft desk!
I used an oak project panel for the top, and pine for the rest. Finished with Rustoleum dark walnut, 2 coats of poly, and white paint.
Also, I'll probably revisit the hinge placement, adding another on each side.
I used the x-back bench plans to build this bench, but trimmed the length down to 4 feet to fit the space. It's constructed with cedar and is so beefy and sturdy. It has stood it's own against several storms already and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Thanks Ana for all the free plans and tutorials!
My version of the kitchen benches.
This is my first project using my Kreg Jig. Although it's not perfect, I think it came out fairly well and it was an easy project for my first try. I would also recommend buying your lumber at a lumberyard, because it's very difficult to find good, straight boards at the big box stores.
Built for conditions on Mull of Galloway, Scotland. Greenhouse has to stand up to 70mph gales from Irish Sea. Used brick base with wooden frame as per plans on this web site. Nearly same dimensions but changed them slightly to accomodate sheet lengths etc.
I loved this plan. Easy to make, using Kreg Jig . Did it in one afternoon.
My family and I love fresh vegetables, so we decided to try this. It turned out so great!!! I have now purchased wood to build 3 more! I did modify the plan though, as I wanted a 4' X 8'.

Looks simple enough. However, I've not built anything, so I'll have to see
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!
Here are my chairs i made. The bench is from rogue engineer. All are a nice addition to the backyard.
This was a cool first time project! Initially in my mind I thought, I'm going to make a doghouse! Eehh!...This was simple enough and fun! basic training and very useful! The cedar planter. I must admit, a few mistakes here and there, on my own account, but nevertheless, it looks great and it was an awesome project to get myself introduced to the basic tools and ways of measuring as well! I highly recommend this project for those who are new at this! This was my first time using the tools and first project. I loved it and can't wait to create something else!! I know I'll get better in time!

Congrats, what a great accomplishment! Beware, you are hooked!
Myself and my sister in laws are doing the same thing. Starting tomorrow 3 cedar planters and 2 benches! Can't wait because it is their first project too. I know they will love the challenge as well!
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.

Thanks.
We are waiting on our slip cover chairs (on back order). I have built a matching bench that needs to be finished.

4x4 Measurements?
I'd also like to build this table using 4x4's. Can you tell me how you came up with the lengths for the diagonal pieces? Also, how did you attach the perpendicular end pieces to the top? I've been looking to do that as well and on all the plans I've seen they used pocket holes and I know that will not last before the end pieces begin to sag.
Thank you!

Did you ever find the measurements and details? I'm interested in making the same table!
