Esta Es la copia del Proyecto Llamado,  Moderno sencilla Pecado Seccional Sección brazos al aire libre, Si me Hizo Fácil Por los Planos tan faciles, Pienso HACER mas y de colores llamativos, Gracias Ana.

Modified plans to make front panels open.  Gives more play room and easier to clean. Front panels are covered with brick themed fabric. Ladder has reflective tape on sides and steps have grip tape for traction.  Ladder has sturdy metal hooks and is removable. Sides are taller  to accommodate a younger child.

I started with the standard laundry basket dresser but went with shelves. I thought that the baskets would last liner this way. The baskets used are from IKEA and sit on felt runners to keep the noise down.

Since making a twin size daybed still seems intimidating to me, I decided to get some practice by making a small version for our dog. I modified the doll farmhouse bed making it a bit larger and in daybed style. We'll see if our doggie takes to it. If not, it will be a toddler couch!

This was my second ever project. I think this will become a long time hobby. 

2 years ago I mad a TV stand that was nice. I decided to make a new one now that I know more about wood work. First one was made from Lowes top choice oak plywood and took a lot of work. I have discovered real hardwood stores and for plywood I like Baltic Birch.

I didn't  make any hard plans for this one, made it by ear. 2 sheets of 5x5 18mm (3/4) 1/2 sheet of 12mm (1/2) and a 1/2 sheet of 6mm (1/4) Baltic. For edging I left the baltic alone and just rounded it over.

my first project and I am thrilled with the results. This was a Christmas gift for my daughter and son in law. I wanted something a bit rustic looking so I used inexpensive 'whitewood' and one light coat of stain (Cabernet) that I wiped off right away, then sanded the edges down. I loved using some of the tools my dad has given me.

We used Behr cloud burst for the colour and Minwax special walnut for the stained platform.  I hand drew and painted the owl (the wings are scrapbook paper) and coated with three coats of polyurethane.

It was very easy to follow the directions and the costs were minimal. Our granddaughter is in heaven with this bed. 

I made my first project from your website this week. Here's a picture of the finished work. Thanks for supplying your plans. They are really helpful. - Doug Davis

My wife and I wanted a nice TV stand for our new living room. Like always, we did not want to spend tons of money and I thought about building something anyways. My wife found the Benchwright series at Pottery Barn and loved it, but for almost $1,000 that was not in our budget. Of course I came straight here and found these plans! I had a great time building this. The measuring and cutting took only an afternoon, and the staining took a long time as this was my first real staining project. I also wanted to get nice glossy coats of clear coat, which took time.Overall we are thrilled with how it turned out! The biggest headache was the euro hinges. I followed the directions that came with them and they did not turn out right at all. It was trial and error to finally get this placed correctly.

Thanks again to Ana for the instructions. It turned out great!

This is my scaled down version of the preschool picnic table, made for an 18 inch doll. I used scrapwood that someone was throwing away and supplies left over from other projects, so it didn't cost anything but time. My girls have really enjoyed it. Here are the measurements: 

Cut List: 

4 – 1×3 @ 17-3/4″ (Tabletop pieces) 

1- 1×4 @ 9-3/4″, then cut in half using a table saw to equal 2 pieces (Supports directly beneath tabletop pieces) The longest measurement is 9 ¾”, with the ends cut at a 30 degree angle back to 7 3/4″.

2-1×4 @ 12-7/8”, then cut in half using a table saw to equal 4 pieces (Legs) (angle each end to 30 degrees as shown in preschool table plans) 

1 – 1×4 @ 19″, then cut in half using a table saw to equal 2 pieces (Supports directly beneath seat boards)  (angle ends to 30 degrees as shown in preschool table plans)

4 – 1×3 @ 17 3/4″ (Seat boards) I ran these 1 x 3’s through my table saw to make them 2” wide.

*When attaching the legs, secure them to the supports below the tabletop pieces so that the bottom of the legs will measure 19 5/8” from lateral edge to lateral edge when resting on the ground. In the preschool picnic table plans, this measurement is shown as 33”.
