I used 4x4 post for the base.
I took the base plans from your Rustic X end tables and added a little more detail on the sides and experimented with the stain combination. I stained the entire table in Golden Oak and for the based I stressed in an Ebony to give it a slightly burnt look in the base. Turned out really well.
I wanted some Cornhole Boards and I wanted to make them myself. I used some vinyl stickers (distressed American flags) that I got on Amazon! I also bought the Cornhole Bag set on Amazon as well! I added some carrying handles from hardware At Home Depot. I found the link here on Ana's website! I love them!
This is my very first project, and is from The Handbuilt Home. I had an old dresser mirror that I just couldn't throw away, and now I'm glad I didn't! It fit the frame perfectly. This project only took a few hours, and the plans were so easy to follow. Just have to get the hooks and she's done! Thanks Ana!

These are darling! What lucky girls your nieces are! Awesome job!
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.
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 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!

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!
