Farmhouse Table with Pocket Holes
I used the plans for the base but made the table 10 feet long. Came out GREAT!
Taylor's Console Table
This was a easy build and lots of fun to build! I pretty much followed the plans for this piece. The only thing I didn't add were the wheels on the bottom of the legs. Because I was using this mainly as a TV stand, I wanted it to not be moved. In the future if the TV goes up on the wall, I'll add the legs. Thanks for the plans!
My first build!!
This was my first project. It was fairly easy and has sparked a new interest in building my own furniture going forward. I decided to have my doors hinged instead of sliding, but overall had a lot of fun and love the results!! It turned out great!! Thanks Ana!!
Annabelle's Doll Crib
My husband did the cutting and we worked together. Everything was great. We used screws to attach the sides instead of finishing nails because we didn't have the right length.
Custom Kentwood Bookshelf
This is a modified version of the Kentwood Bookcase to be shorter and wider to fit my space. I used my router for the first time on this project giving the legs and top a little bit of flair. I also wanted it super glossy, so I applied three coats of Minwax high gloss polyurethane.
One lesson I learned for my next project is that "stainable" wood filler isn't actually stainable. I'm quite disappointed with how visible my Kreg pocket holes are on the front - I'll be sure to make sure they're all hidden next time.

This is beautiful! You did a good job, and I love the finish. I can't see the pocket holes in your finished pictures even after you pointed it out.
I used wood filler that was tinted the same color as the stain last time, and it was great.

Stunning!
Wow!!! This is so beautiful, and the stain job on pine...just wow!! You did such a great job with the router and I can't even find the kreg jig holes even though you said it. The plugs made for those work out perfectly though and are pretty cheap for a huge bag to have around.
Toy Storage bin box with cubby
Loved making this toy bin with my mom-in-law. Simple and perfect for our needs.
Grandy Barn Door Consoles
I started a custom woodworking bussiness about 18 months ago. Since then we've build everything from consoles to dining room tables to baby cribs. And to this day, I still refer to Ana White plans. Thanks a bunch!!
Minwax Early American
Minwax Jacobean
Minwax Clear Gloss
Patio Table
This was a fun project. We couldn't find the exact table that we wanted in the stores. I took the standard farm table on Ana's website and added 1/4 corner trim which finished off the edges nicely. I finished it with minwax cedar stain and we have been enjoying it ever since.
Doll Adirondacks
We built 7 for our 7 granddaughters (one girl already got hers so 6 pictured)! I used different stain colors for the different familys! Have to figure out a project for the 7 grandsons!
Kids Adirondack Chair
This was one of my very first wood projects and I LOVE it. I used a smaller circular saw, drill and orbital sander. I love how it turned out and now I have a DIY problem. :-)
Outhouse
I built this outhouse for beside our barn. My first large project and I’m really pleased with how it turned out!

Tryde Bottle Top Table
Modified the plans to incorporate 645 bottle tops instead of the center boards. Sealed the whole thing with a 2 part bar top epoxy.
Garden Shed
Had to clean out my storage area to make room for my new woodworking shop, so a new shed was in order. Since my neighborhood does not allow large sheds i thought this would be the perfect fit for the small area right outside of the shop. I had to adjust the plan to make it narrow but longer. Used pressure treated fence pickets for the siding..
Sand Box with Built-In Seats using Cedar Wood and 1 Seat
Followed the original plan except below changes:
- Only one seat to make it more spacious
- Made 2 groups of 3 planks each and connected both using hinges so it can cover the end without seat
- Stapled Hardware Cloth with landscape fabric
Cedar wood was the most expensive thing in this project, since I would want it to last long.
Petite Planked Wood Sideboard
I loved the look of the Planked Wood Sideboard, but it was waaay too big for my small dining room. I scaled the piece down, so it was proportionate to my room. I finished it dark knobs and a dark "IKEA" like finish. No one believes I built this from 2x4s and 2x6s!

Beautiful Work
Very beautiful work. I will bookmark this for the finish instructions.
I hope I get around to producing something as lovely to furnish my own home.
Farmhouse Bed for our Cabin
One of my first projects ... farmhouse bed for our Mount St. Helens cabin. Added a few tree cutouts to the headboard to keep with a similar theme throughout the cabin. Turned out pretty good.
