Rolling Sofa Table
This is the second project I have made from this website, which I LOVE! I needed some sort of table to use with a large sectional sofa because I refused to give up my huge ottoman for a coffee table! This is perfect. I loved the brag post with the shelf added so I used that idea also.
When it came to decoration, I used some apple barrel craft paint and found some scrapbook paper I really liked. This was my first use of modge podge so it was not as flawless as I hoped but I still think it turned out well. And best of all it will be used often!
FYI - by saving money on the particleboard shelf, I ended up spending a lot of time applying wood filler.

First homemade piece of furniture!
I decided I had to have a farm table, but could not pay the store bought prices. SO I spent weeks poring over plans trying to figure out which one to make.
We picked this plan because I felt like as a beginning it would be hard to make the legs. I REALLY wanted to get the husky legs found in the plan but they were a little pricey, so I just got the same height legs at lowes.
I am SO happy with my table. For anyone feeling daunted by pocket holes and a kreg jig: get a kreg jig mini. I couldn't afford the regular kreg jig but the mini was only 20 bucks or less.
Happy building!

Beautiful table!
Your table looks beautiful! Congrats on a great first project!
Octagon Benchmark Table
This was my first project and took about two weeks to complete from start to finish. I used an oil based walnut stain and five coats of an oil based semi-gloss polyurethane to finish, sanding in between coats. Be sure to wear a mask and eye protection.....holy sawdust!
Being that I started with nothing $400 - $500 for tools
4x4 TRUSS BEAM TABLE
I built this as a craft table for my family. I altered the plans to make the table larger to fit a specific space in our craft room. The table was easy to build and turned out great!
Thanks for the plans
Storage Desk
Built using pallet wood for the top.

Very easy and quite comfy!
Directly from plan. Fun to make. Kreg and glue attachements.
sofa pottery barn cushions
Easy to build 2-3 hours. Weather proofed because did not want grey cedar in a few years. Liked the color of weather proofing but color continued to leak off. Polyed and sanding eventually stopped the leaking if colors. Scored pottery barn cushions 50% in the winter + 15% new email customer. Still $150... bought some pillows from pottery barn on sale for another $60. All in all looks awesome! VERY easy build. The rest ($$) is what hurts... Test any weatherproof in you use first before using.

Coat Rack
We needed a coat rack in the mud room to go along with the X Bench that I built earlier. This was made from a drop of wood left over from the bench. I had the hooks left over from a project I made a couple of years ago. My wife says our mud room is now complete. I used the plans Entryway Bench and Storage Shelf I just didn't use the shelf part

Storage locker unit
I have been waiting a long time to have this amazing piece of storage. The size is what was intimidating to me but it was easy to build. This project is perfect for a beginner . Make sure you have an extra set of hands due to the size otherwise this was easy and straight forward to build. I love the storage it offers to keep my Minnesota winter gear organized. The kids have a place for all of their snow pants, boots, coats etc.
Mason jar chandelier

Benchwright Console Table
I followed the plans exactly, except I didn't put the trim pieces on the lower shelves sides. I really like the way it turned out, and my wife painted it with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, color "Paris Grey" and then used Annie Sloan finishing wax (both clear and dark wax) to protect the piece and age it. I think it turned out great! Thanks for the plans!
Nothing was to difficult with these plans, at least not if you have a Kreg Jig. I would add that I used pocket screws on the top pieces not only to join them to the breadboard end pieces, but also to each other. That made it really strong!
Plane old shelf
I made this shelf with reclaimed random wood but followed the original plans almost exactly. I used an extra large jar of peanut butters top for the front of the plane and the propeller was made for a random little piece of wood I just sanded down the edges to round them. The landing gear is from two corners of scrap wood and I bought the round pieces of wood for the wheels at michaels for about 10cents because I do not have a hole saw.
Pallet Wood Planter
I made this planter out of some left over pallet wood that I had. It was pretty quick. It went together in about 2 hours. I have the step by step plans on my blog.
Firewood Shed
Smaller firewood shed. So pleased with how it turned out.
