First piece of furniture built with my new kreg jig.
This was a super fun and easy project to do! Everyone LOVES this sign and wants to make one for themselves. Great cheap and easy wall art!

I think I'll add a Golden Retriever to ours! What a cute idea.
This is a pretty challenging little puzzle that is relatively easy to make.
There are three puzzles to be solved.
Note that you will also find this puzzle under the names, Four Cube Puzzle and Stop or Traffic Light Puzzle.

I needed a set of bedside tables and decided to build my own. Using a Pottery Barn Hudson table as the inspiration, I made these 2 tables. They are very similar to Ana's Farmhouse Bedside Tables. I have more details on how these were made from inexpensive plywood on my website. Enjoy!

I want to build myself a couple bedside tables similar to this. Great work! :)
Had someone ask me for this side table but in a smaller size. I subtracted a board from the top and adjusted the width to 22 inches. I also used 2x3's for the legs because the 2x4's mad the shelf look too cramped in the sketches I did.
Adjustable sawhorses for outfeed of tablesaw and temporary workspace counter
Taking the Square Farmhouse table, I redesigned it to be an end table. I measured other end tables to get an idea of the size the top should be. I was going to have aprons on it but made a bad cut and decided to change it up so I didn’t have to buy more wood. I also didn’t want 2x4’s for top and legs so I went with 1x4’s and 4x4’s.
Materials:
1 - 1x4 @6’ Select quality to increase likelihood that top is smooth
1 - 1x4 @ 8’ Select quality
1 4x4 white wood timber @ 8’
I used the plans for the $10 garden boxes, except I made my boxes 4' by 8'. It was very easy (only my third project) and came out perfectly!
Well worth the time and effort!!!
I built this new workbench for my garage to accomodate my table and miter saw and to add some stowaway storage and I cant tell you how much I love it, especially with being able to pull the tables out to make an outfeed for the tablesaw. I altered theplans a bit to shorten the entire length by nearly 1.5 feet and instead of the board mounted tool space I added my bench vise to this gap and use shelved underneath for storage. The plan was simple to follow and allowed me to build a bench that all of my neighbors talk about now! Thanks so much Ana!
Modified the woven back bench plans to make this Texas Flag Bench. 48 inches wide.
The moment I saw this plan I knew I had to build it for our adventurous, imaginative daughter, Selah. I committed to trying to finish it before her birthday (a month away at the time.) This was only my second build with wood, so I knew I would need a little time due to the learning curve. Ana's plans were great and easy to follow, and I held religiously to Jaime's blog for tips and tricks or when I was generally lost. ;) I must say, staining was a LOT more tedious and expensive than I expected. I also ignored the warnings that Minwax's water based stain was not great for large projects...my wife just couldn't get her eyes off the awesome color options. I worked it on and off little by little....and after MUCH time and an aching back we were totally STOKED with the results. The poly was just the right touch to finish it all off. Selah loves the bed and I must say all of the work was nothing compared to the hours of fun she has with this bed. Thanks Ana! Keep doing what you do....I never would have thought I could do something like this.

Hello, I love your version of this bed and was wondering what tools you needed and if you followed the original plans or the additional ones posted by Jaime (other then the windows)? I also noticed you did something different to the feet of the latter??

I used every inch of Ana's plans and Jamie's real world build. Smooth sailing for the most part. I used a sliding compound miter saw to do most of the build, as well as an electric random orbit sander. I followed all plans to a T. The ladder feet change was to fix a bad cut I made on the sides of the ladder. Too short! It was either improvise or run back to the store for more wood....haha.
Using the Junior Height Camp Loft Bed plans...
I raised the height from 65 to 67 inches to better accomodate a bottom bunk. Added bottom rails and extra 2X4s for the head board.
I shortened the width and length of the stairs to better fit in the room, and in doing so, made a small mod to the post by the stairs to prevent the boys from falling down the stairs.
Kids Love them
I saw the lounger that Ana posted https://www.ana-white.com/woodworking-projects/modern-single-outdoor-ch… and thought it would be really nice to have that near the hot tub. Combine that with the need for some kind of platform for the kids to get in and out of the hot tub and voila! The Chaise Lounge with Steps for Hot Tub.
All I did was extend the 2x4 legs to 28" to give the lounger enough height to act as a platform. Raising it required an extra set of 2x4s lower down for lateral stability. The steps used a similar approach of 2x4s for the legs and cross supports with 1x4s for the tread.
Thanks for all the plans, Ana!
I really enjoyed making this table for my sister from Ana's Farmhouse table plans. I secured everything with Kreg screws from the underside. I added a couple screws from the top in the breadboard ends for added stregth. Im thinking of building another one but making it wider!
Ana's instructions were very easy to follow. The main problem I had was the 4X4 lumber was S4S, therefore the edges were rounded, which made for awkward joints with the aprons. Other than that, I used wood conditioner before staining and sealing.

I built the modern farmhouse bed :)
Wow! Did we ever pick a "small" project for our first build:) We had never built so much as a birdhouse and here we were building a playhouse. It was so much fun though and I'm glad that we did it. My daughter LOVES it and we are so pleased with how it turned out. We ran across a few problems due to our inexperience but nothing we couldn't overcome.

I made this taller to fit my bed.
