First project! Modern Farm Table using a mix of the original and the updated pocket hole plans. Stained with vintage gray/brown on pine. Used Minwax® Fast-Drying Polyurethane in satin to finish. Table - 33" X 69"

I made a smaller version of the Tryde End Table with Shelf. I made 2 of them from 6 2X4's

Fish made the tabletop from white oak and the base is pine. We still need to build a bench for one side and purchase new chairs, but we are IN LOVE with this table...and it somehow has allowed us to dine as a family more.

I combined a few different plans here, mostly the Playhouse deck, swingset.

I haven't finished it yet, this spring I want to finish the exterior as it's just primed plywood right now. Still going to add a window above the balcony (there is a loft up there).

I insulated the roof/ceiling and will insulate the walls when we finish it. In the bottom we'll be putting in a sandbox with a cover that folds up into benches.

It was a fun project and should give our girls many years of fun.

We needed a guest bed in a hurry and this fit the bill.

Love this plan, it was easy to do. I did modify it a little as did another member with longer support arms. I just purchased an extra 2x2 and cut it to fit! Thanks for the great plans!!! Hope to see more shop furniture on here soon!

From the Fire Station Loft bed, this was modified to accomodate a full bed underneath; essentially making it a bunk bed.  The bed underneath is an Ikea Fjellse. The footboard was made to look like a fire engine backing into the fire station.

I built this outdoor sofa out of Blackwood. I tweaked Ana's plan to include a backrest and a support in the front, as my planks are only 23mm thick.

Built this as a garden shed so I had to modify the front into a small 26 inch door.

My shed size was 5 x 4 as I had limted space.

My roof is angled at 10 degrees.

I used my new Kreg jig for the door that was fun!

Frame is from 2 x 3's.

The total cost for me was under $70 as I salvaged the cedar, 1 x 4's, roof felt, and shingles.

Paint for the trim was a $5.00 oops.

I am more than pleased with the outcome.

I built the potting table first before this.

So this was my second item to build and I really enjoyed it.

Can't remember much more about how I built it as I started it a while back.

This site is really amazing.

These chairs are fairly easy to make. The side boards were the hardest part.

Potting bench with a few modifications to fit our space.

I used the armless chair plan, and altered the one armed plans to make two chaises. Then I increased the size slightly to accommodate the 25x25 pillows I bought. This took about 12 hours with one person working. I am super proud of it! Finished today, and will eventually stain after the wood has dried out a little. Thank you, Ana, for making straightforward plans that gave me the confidence to do my first woodworking project!
