My young friend Carter used his own twist to your adiraondack chair with this herringbone pattern. He made six chairs from your pattern with three different design. These look so amazing around my firepit.

It was after getting to know your website and seeing all your nice craftsgirlship we decided to make our own garden furniture.
We are wery satisfied with the results, thanks a lot for the inspiration!
PS) Time investment = per item.
Nesting tables with golden oak stain and poly on top. The last pic of the small table made with 1x2's for 2 legs and 2x2's for the other 2. Distressed by my daughter Kimberly.
A combination of the Printers Triple Console Cabinet and the Reclaimed Wood Rolling Shelf (x2). We knew we wanted the bookshelves so I made those first. The plans were really easy to follow and I knocked out both in a weekend. Once I got those where we wanted them, it left a void that only the Printers Console could fill. That took a little longer than anticipated and was about at the extent of my woodworking skill (so far!) but it came together perfectly.

Nice... currently working on this bookshelf as well. Yours looks good.
Just completed my version of the “DIY Slim Truss Console Table”. The base is made from 2” Rough Pine and the top from a nice Piece of Live Edge Maple.
Had a great time building this and just in time for Christmas.
Outdoor table and two matching benches. Easy peasy, albeit the table is pretty heavy to move. Stained with ECO.

I'd been wanting to add a piece of furniture at the end of my son's bed for awhile, but I had a difficult time deciding on what exactly to do. Not only did I want it to be something he could sit on, but also I wanted to add some extra storage. We had thought of a trunk but the idea of little fingers getting pinched made that idea a little scary. I turned to Ana-white's website for help. I didn't find exactly what I wanted, but I did get some inspiration from the new Kentwood Bookshelf. It's constructed the same way but with some sizing adjustments.
I made this for a grand-daughter for Christmas and followed the McKenna Doll plan from the plan catalog . My wife made the pad and quilt from a link on the doll plan site. Made from scraps left over using my Kreg jig and spray painted with a gloss purple, her favorite color. I also made a bulletin board near the desk and added cup hooks for the hangars on the ladder side.
I wanted a really long table for my dining room to use at family gatherings so I can host more dinners. This table is 9 feet long and has plenty of space for our needs. I used knotty pine and finished it with Minwax Espresso wood stain. I then added 1 coat of polyurethane as I didn't want the table to appear shiny but still wanted some protection in case of spills.
This project was definitely a labour of love but I'm thrilled with the results.
We modified the plans a little we made the 2 pieces together instead of separate. We used a 2” hole saw to cut out the oven knobs, then drilled holes a tad bigger than the screw so they would still turn once attached. We also made the back splash taller to accommodate our faucet that had to attach on the back splash instead of the counter top. We used all pocket holes to attach everything it makes it look so much nicer but doesn’t need to be done that way. We bought vinyl circles for the burners on the stove. A dog bowl for the sink and a laundry room faucet for the faucet.

My princess-loving daughter needed somewhere to keep her collection of dress up outfits, so I made her this 'rolling rack'. Some mods that I made: I routed the edges for some interest and added moulding to the bottom to disguise the casters.
I have been wanted to build this table for over a year and finally had the time for it. The plans made the cuts very simple.
I built the sofa and loveseat from 2X4's and used 1X4's for the top of the coffee table. I used standard patio cushions for the sofa and cut the tops off to use at the side for arm rests.
Completed this about a week ago. As usual, I went with the "--" instead of the "X", but it still turns out great.

We built this in our living room start to finish - we live in an NYC apartment. Because of the small room size we chose to modify the plans to a small mattress - hoping that it will last our boys until they are about 5 and 7 (currently 2 and almost here). This blog post outlines our buy and cut list for the modified size: http://wp.me/p3DCu3-Kd
We wanted to build a new kitchen table for the home we moved into. I had just bought a new table saw and needed a project. We searched through a lot of plans and settled on the Benchmark Octagon Table that Ana White had. My 14 y/o son and I built this over a few nights in our garage and my wife did the finishing. We were thrilled how it turned out. It comfortably seats 8 adults (yes we have had 8 adults at it). My wife and I always sit in the bench that is pictured and we easily eat side by side on one end. It is a great project. I would recommend being very careful attaching the table top support to the base column and also reinforcing the joints of the diagonal upper and lower supports to keep the table top from twisting easily. All in all a fantastic project and people are shocked when I tell them my son and I built it, particularly from off the shelf pine.
This little table and chairs were so simple to build. My little granddaughter just loved her Christmas present.
First timer here..your plans were great. Added some framing to the front of the bench. Will hide the gap with a cushion. Turns out are floors are rather sloped haha. Thanks!
