For build materials, please ask!

I used cedar because I love the color and wanted the natural look.

I ended up creating a cement top instead of using the 2x6's and added 2x2 on the top boarder for added support.

Take some scrap wood, and make beautiful wall hanging art / decor out of these free printable vintage French seed packets of vegetables and flowers ! Perfect gift for anyone who loves garden and vintage!

I made a few changes but not much!  I used biscuit jointers and dowels, so only nails for glue to dry.  Lock miter draw joints.  But all the wood came from scraps from the saw mill I work at :). 

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

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.

When I realized I was going to build the closet tower, i made sure there were plans for the drawers before beginning. Thankfully there were, so that made this a brainless build. Thanks, Ana! Read about the build, here. 

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.

Built from reclaimed knotty alder

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

MY FIRST PROJECT
