I was looking for a "super easy console table" and once I was ready to build it, I mustered the confidence to try a more complex table top design. Using pocket hole joinery, 2"x2" legs and supports, scrap 1"x2" "blocks" for the herringbone pattern, scrap 1/2" 8"x4' plywood, 3/4"x1/2" pieces to frame the top, and much wood glue, I built this 8.5" narrow console table for under $30. The plan shared on this site was one of the inspiration pieces that helped me believe I could do this too!

Finally got a miter saw and a pocket hole jig. So decided to try this for my first project with new tools. Turned out great and I learned lots of things I'd do differently next time to save headaches.

Needed a night stand for my sons bedroom. this was perfect....

this project called for sewing the cushion covers, but i was to lazy to take out the sewing machine, so instead I stapled the fabric and it turned out pretty good if I do say so!! thanks for the plans!!

<p>My husband made this from some redwood salvaged from and house being torn down. The finish is Briwax, very easy to apply and polish to a nice shine. It also comes in a variety of colors. Make sure the wax is done in a well ventilated area. A Kregs Jig is a must for fastening this together.</p>

I made this work bench today with your plans, this was my first time building anything. 

7 ft long gigantic sideboard. Removed the options for the drawers and extended the cabinet doors for extra storage needed. My favorite project to date.

Slightly modified the plans to fit our record player and albums below. Wood is reclaimed from a barn. Bought off Craigslist. The wood was originally planned to go in a restaruant but when they sprayed it with poly the white paint turned yellow. The owners no longer liked it so I was able to buy it off of them. 

Built the buffet and doors in one day...spent two days making the hardware....1" flat bar (1/8" for mounting wheels and 3/16" for track). For the wheels I used screen door sliding wheels.. materials for sliding hardware totaled $30. Barnwood was obtained from a CL guy tearing his barn. Donated this buffet to my local high school Booster club for their auction. 

Was my first DIY project and was surprised as to how easy it was. The directions in the plan were spot on and look forward to future projects.

I built this stool for my niece's first birthday! It was super easy to build. The painting process was another story. In hindsight I should have just stained it but I wanted something fun and bright. I'm happy with how it turned out and I will definitely be making one for my nephew for his first birthday! Overall it took me about 2 hours to cut and put it together.

My hubby built the table and I stained it. It's GORGEOUS in our living room. Next weekend we're building the side and console tables. 

We turned the Playhouse loft bed into a "Barn" for my son who wanted his room to be all about horses.

I built my son his first "big boy" bed and we needed a headboard so my wife loved this one, and now my son does too! 

With pocket holes this was pretty easy to do, great plans, I had to modify the dimensions a bit since we didn't build the Hailey bed. We built a twin version of the Captain's Storage bed, so this matched up with it with only a few minor adjustments. Thanks for the plans and the great site.

Still need to choose a color or stain but we love having the garbage hidden

Followed Katie Nightstand plans, but stained the top and both shelves. Open areas were built to accommodate some wire baskets we found at the Container Store.

The build was pretty easy. Husband did it in a day. But after the paint dried and we out it in our laundry room and I did some laundry we realized that the washer now shakes the entire pedestal violently to the point where the dryer is being shaken so much that it's banging against the wall. We have brand new LG washer and dryer and this wasn't a problem before our diy pedestal. Do you have any modification suggestions?  We really love the project- but we will have to take it out if we can't find a solution for the shaking.
