Thank you!........... any tips to help me improve?
My Dad and I built this for my daughter's third birthday. It's been a big hit! I'm really happy with how it turned out.
I followed plan but added 20 extra inches and an extra woven insert plus an extra brace in center of seat.
I followed the Rustic X Hall Tree plans almost entirely. I chose to replace the “X” with vertical posts, though I may use the X in a future project. The bench top is two 1” thick oak boards milled at my farm. Love the contrast of the white and stained oak. The plans were perfect!
Built from Ana's Dog Crate End Table plans. Used steel rods instead of wood slats.
This is the Kitchen Island I built for my wife. I painted it in my wife's favorite color and gave it a distressed look that matched the stained wood counter top. This was also my very first Ana White project... The plans were easy to follow and I had a lot of fun building it.

Hi there! This kitchen island is beautiful!! Can you tell me what paint and color you used, as well as what finish and how you distressed it?? I love it!!
Used ana's plan as more so a guidance. The top is made out of 3/4inch hard maple planks glued/clamped together. The harder part was then planing the top down to ensure the top was relatively flat. All the other wood was pine.
The slats were stained golden oak and incurred 1 coat of polyurathane. Really love this piece.
Based my cabinet on the planked wood sideboard but moved away from using the tens of pocket screws the project called for. I also used hidden hinges so my doors do not enter into the cabinet. I cut and glued multiple boards to make my top after using my planer. But soft close drawers and hinges on the unit. Also installed baskets with soft close for the bottom of the 2 side cabinets. Turned out pretty good. Super heavy though which well built items will be. Routed my door and table top edges for style. Wife loves it.
Fireplace Bumpus. I decided to add a hearth. I am so pleased with project.

Simple but beautiful!
First project from own design and wanted to share as pretty pleased with how it turned out. Sides are 4 by 2s with a routed 45 degree grove on each edge to give some detail. Wanted to make the drawers stand out so I added the edging detail.
I scaled down the fancy hall tree plans to 39" wide to fit along our entry way wall. I also added shelves for shoes. It was a great birthday present for my wife, thanks Ana!
Made these rustic style bedside tables for my master bedroom. I used the Reclaimed Wood Bedside Tables plan, but modified it to make it a little wider- to 24" top width. I wished the plan had exact plans for the drawers, but I made do without them, and all in all, they turned out fantastic! I used pretty heavy duty 100 lb drawer slides, and used 1x6's for the entire drawer square (backer board for the bottoms). I wanted the slides to be able to handle the extra weight, plus all my books etc that will fill the drawers. I used standard spruce/pine from the store, but ripped my own 2x2's and 1x2's from 2x4's and 1x4's. I liked the crosscut look to stay, so I only sanded them minimally. The hardest part was putting on the top from underneath, as I didn't want my tops to have the nail holes in them, but my trusty brad-nailer came to my rescue!
It was a good day or two project by the time I got them built, stained (with Minwax Espresso), and sealed with (Minwax Poly-Acrylic).
We moved into our new home. The hallway looked dark and gloomy. I decided wainscot the hallway. I brought 2x6 and 2x8 for hallway. Started installing on the wall and framed out the wall after completing the wainscot still didn’t look to my satisfaction. I then changed the carpet and installed laminate flooring. Everyone who comes to our home loves the look.
We followed Ana's "Toddler's Upholstered Bed" plan nearly exactly. The only major change I made was to add fancy looking french country legs I found at the local hardware store. They were screw in, so I used metal screw guides that popped right in after a little pre-drilling. I included some pictures to help explain this variance to help give others ideas. Thanks so much for these plans Ana!
Started these wishing wells as only having fun and for family it seems now that it is going to be a little more than I thought now taking orders from family friends

I love the wishing wells, but I can;t find a plan. My mom has wanted one of these forever! She now has stage 4 squamous cell carcinoma Stage 4 and I would love to build her one before it is too late.

Can I ask where you got this plan from.Would love to make one.
These chairs turned out awesome!!! Go Royals! Go Tigers! The step-by-step directions were great and easy to follow. We went with a fun twist on the Royals chair by cutting out the top with the scroll saw to look like the crown. Turned out great, couldn't be happier with the outcome and will definitely be making more!
I needed a new bed for my son and could not fin anything we liked for a reasonable price. In searching online for bed plans came across this site. The plans were really easy to follow and it came out great. The only change I made was adding an extra support leg and I reused the bed slats from his old bed rather then make new ones. The bed came out great. Although my husband and I are both quite handy I never imagined building my own furniture. But now we are both looking for new things to build.
Chose the small firewood shed project as a "template" if you will .. built this to house our garbage cans and eventually put a gate on it to "help deter" the Florida black bears (we do multiple things to keep them at bay) but this will also just be a nicer looking way to keep the cans outside.
I modified the floor since the firewood shed had a floor that was suitable for, well, firewood but not so much for rolling garbage cans. Had to leave the one slat off the back for the depth of the can which I didn't completely account for in the beginning. Overall, still need to paint it and water seal it but happy with how it turned out.
For my sons airplane/helicopter Birthday I painted murals on 2inch thick cardboard. three mnths later they are still in the back yard, the cardboard has been rained on as well as the sprinklers have watered them almost daily and as you see they're still intact. so i decided to build them a frame out of pallet boards and hang them on the wall in the backyard. Since I used pallet boards, nails i already had, and remaining spray paint I have from my tractor tire project. This project cost me practically nothing, had to by anchor screws to hang..
