This was created using one and a half reclaimed pallets. Sealed and ready for a fire pit this summer!

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. 

I made this double x bench from plans from www.hertoolbelt.com

This is seriously easy to make.

It looks complicated but it really isn't.

I used the vaseline technique for distressing.

This bench looks amazing at the end of my farmhouse bed.

My wife and I have couldn't decide where to start our DIY projects, so we picked the Kentwood plans out of a stack and got to work.

Ours are fashioned out of two 1x 12 pine boards, (7/8 x 11 1/4) cut for size. There is a great mom and pop lumber yard about an hour from where we are, and has spectacular prices on just about every kind of wood...saves us about 67% off the box stores.

We had some cedar tongue and grove boards lying around, so I used the cedar for the side and door panels. We also opted to add a shelf to the interior, measuring 13' off the bottom deck.

We did not finish the interior, aside from sanding the shelves, and putting on a top coat.

The top of the nightstands are made with scrap tongue and grove pine wall panels my father-in-law had sitting in his wood shop.

Really fun, enjoyable first foray into the ana-white.com community. Gotta say, having a Kreg jig makes joinery a snap.

Fun project, ordered the hardware for the rail system itself and the wheels were too big so I made my own rail system.

I bought a house and couldn't stomach buying something I could probably build myself. This is my first project and first furniture build. Besides buying the drill and screws the table was free. Didn't even buy a skill saw, just used a hand saw. The dimensions were dictated by the length of the pallet boards and width by the two end caps, so there were very few cuts to make.

Found plastic planter boxes for succulents (3 in picture) @ dollar store. I wanted to be able to switch out the center pieces and plan to rotate in herbs, ice, other flowers.

This project was totally made possible and inspired by others posting projects so I thought I should say thanks and post my own creation.

I built this plywood rack for my shop a couple of weeks back. Here is a link to my site with a free set of plans: http://www.lanebroswoodshop.com/2015/02/sheet-goods-rack.html

My son loves his new cabin bed and now my girls are beggin for theirs. I used nuts and bolts to secure together for easy removal once he grows out of it.

Thanks for the plans! With Lowes help this project was easy. Maybe I will paint it some day.

This is the table I made from your plans, but I changed up some of the dimensions and such to fit my needs...it turned out amazing and my wife, family and friends love it...I have been asked if I take orders, but my wife says no...I can only make one for her...lol

This is a base loft bed which was my first project. I used raw pine for everything, and then stained. I added the flip top desk, and cubbys on the back wall as well for more storage. But then one of friends had an old play ground set, which he was selling at a ridiculously low price! Due to the pool and BBQ island however, it did not make sense to put these in the back yard. SO, I decided to take down the ladder and give him a rock wall! Both my son and daughter absolutely love it! I am now going to build the platform on the foot of the bed for the slide. More to come!!!! ;)

This was my first ever build, I had a blast! I have always wanted to work with wood but never knew where to start. We have 7 children and we have gone threw so many beds and wasted so much money over the years on cheap beds. I wanted to build something that was sturdy and something that would last. Thanks to Ana White I found these plans. My husband showed me how to use the tools and I got to work. We're a military family so we move every 1 to 3 years, so I had to make some adjustments so it could be taken apart and moved over and over again. Thank you Ana White for these plans and so much more. You have been such an inspiration, if it wasn't for you and your site I would've never have found the motivation and courage to start building.
