Never having done anything like this before I knew it would be a challenge. I used the base plans provided and taught myself the CAD program used in the provided plans. From there I redesigned it to meet my dimensions and what I wanted. It took a lot of time overall but am thrilled with the turn out. Thank you for the original plans to use as a guide! Also with the cost I used a higher grade of plywood and also used cabinet paint to make it durable wich drove the price up some.

My table is without the X's because I was having some trouble with the angles. I am just starting out, so I think it turned out pretty well!

After I made this the wife wanted it destressed and we had the kids put their initials in like an old picnic table at a park bench.

I made this for my sons pirate party. It has an entrace under the plank to the pirateships "basement"

This was made from the simple daybed plan, took more time than expected but the end results are worth it. Build and paint first then assemble in the room it is heavy. Used non mortise bed rail hinges to detach easily.

Distressed entry way table

I modified the plns for this table a little bit. I couldnt have the table as wide as the plans so I left out a 2x6 for the table top. I also beefed up the legs and added another 2x6.

We needed to organize in the laundry room. This was the perfect idea.

These are my first two farmhouse beds. The pink bed was my very first woodworking project since high school. We're not gonna say how long ago that was. Haha!

Thank you for sharing your plans. My daughter and my cousin's daughter love their new little beds.

Used Minwax stain in Dark Walnut and Coastal Gray chalk paint from Rustoleum

I built this bookshelf for my husband's office. He wanted a shorter, wider shelf than the original plans, and this is what I came up with! :)

Hey Ana -

You're plans have been such a great help to me here in the Bahamas. You've saved us thousands of dollars. Really! Here's one of my many adirondack chairs under construction. I added a Bahamian accent. 

I built this based on the idea of the mimi storage bench and hutch. We will use this in our garage next to or shoe rack. I built this primarily from 1x6 cedar fence pickets, a few cedar 1x2's and a couple cedar 2x4's.  

The lid lifts for off season shoe storage.  All bench joinery is with pocket holes and the cedars pickets are attached with pneumatic 1 or 2-1/2" nails.  

I used my speedy square's 45 degree angles to trace out the mountain silloutes and then cut them out with my jigsaw.  I paced myself on the project and my four year old helped quite a bit with measuring and handing me the next board. We're excited to have a little spot to change shoes and grab the jackets.  Feel free to check out my Instagram for other random projects or are family fun  instagram.com/fotosnapper
