This was my first project I ever assembled. It just took a while to get them on the wall. Was free since it was leftover from cutting wood for another project.
We built these bunks for our boys, ages 4+6. The plans were super simple to follow. The frame was built out of scrap 2x6's and 2x4's. We did have to make a modificatioon on the ladder- it came up just short for some reason, so we added a 2x4 to the bottom.

Thank you!
Quick and easy to follow plans. Only issue I ran into was that my miter saw only cuts up to a 50° angle. I set up a jig to hold the 2x2 perpendicular to the saw and set the miter to 30°. Viola, easy 60° angles! Pic attached for reference.
This was one of the first plans that I built and I haven't really stopped since then! These have been in my backyard by my firepit and have held up wonderful. They have had some rather large people sit in them with no problems at all. They are very sturdy and comfortable too.
Thank you Ana White!!! This website is Awesome!!! I started my outdoor sectional project last summer and used the "Modern Outdoor Sectional" plans for my project....it really was easy....In fact, I went to Lowes and had all my sizes cut for me and all I had to do was use the kreg jig as recommended and a drill and "Wa La!"....my sectional didn't cost me more than $350! This year I am going to paint it since it is pre-treated wood, I needed to wait the season!!! So, I will upload another picture soon to show you what it looks like painted......

I've been looking at this project to build for awhile. I love how all the colors in the area work together. This looks like something you'd spend thousands on in a store somewhere. Nice!

Love the colors you used. Are the cushions handmade?
I used the x-back bench plans to build this bench, but trimmed the length down to 4 feet to fit the space. It's constructed with cedar and is so beefy and sturdy. It has stood it's own against several storms already and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Thanks Ana for all the free plans and tutorials!
My version of the kitchen benches.
Built for conditions on Mull of Galloway, Scotland. Greenhouse has to stand up to 70mph gales from Irish Sea. Used brick base with wooden frame as per plans on this web site. Nearly same dimensions but changed them slightly to accomodate sheet lengths etc.
I loved this plan. Easy to make, using Kreg Jig . Did it in one afternoon.
I had leftover scraps from some other projects so I decided to use Ana's plans to build this easy adirondack chair. It was built in a just a couple hours. It's the perfect size for my 4 year old!
I made this bed for my son on his 7th birthday. I used 4x4 posts. 1x6 for the top of the head board and foot board. Stained in red mahogany and coated with a clear gloss finish. This was my first major project and i am really happy with the results. I routered the edges of the tops with an ogee bit, routered the legs with a champhered bit and routeredb the front with a cove bit.
Here are my chairs i made. The bench is from rogue engineer. All are a nice addition to the backyard.
This is perfect for my two boys. I can now get them to stop dropping their coats and bags on the floor as soon as they get home from school!
I made this chair from plans in Ana's book.
Super easy to make. I used all pallet wood for this project so the only cost was the screws.
My wife and I built your green house! It is turning out awesome! I just want to take the time to say thank you for the plans. You are a great designer and generous with your sharing.
I made the worm composter from Ana's plan and built a cabinet out of old pallets. The stack of worm composters drawers slide in and out of the cabinet on a heavy duty drawer glide set. I used cedar fence board. For 3 bucks a board, it was worth the work to rip them down and sand them. The bottom drawer has a tray built out of old flashing and slopes towards a hose bib in order to collect the worm tea. I designed the drawer insert out of cardboard and cut it out of flashing, using a pop rivet gun to put it together, sealing the seams with flashing caulking. The drawer has a sheet of aluminum window screen under the top square of cedar.
I had an old workbench (pic shown) and reused the 2 by 4s, 2 by 6s (that were supports under the work surface) and the 3/4 inch ply to make a 3 drawer cabinet.
The bases of the drawers were made from the top of the work bench which took some hefty sanding but I actually put the underside of the worktop as the upfacing side for the drawers as that was cleaner even though has some nail holes in places.
The drawer sides and fronts were made from some left over 1 by 4, 1 by 6 and 1 by 8 from my recent work station build.
All I had to buy was the drawer slides and pulls.
Finished in Varathane Carrington and 3 coats of Varathane Matte Poly. The drawers were finished in Minwax Special Walnut.

I would love to make this, but I cannot find the plans.
7 1/2 foot table using basic Ana White plans. I removed the stretcher to allow for more seating... but reinforced the underside to help make it structurally stronger. I also didn't add breadboards as the boss didn't like them. Painted the benches and legs of the table white.... stained the top with miniwax classic grey with a few coats of poly.
I was 58 when I built these. Super easy. I also built these in my kitchen to store all my gadgets..
Thanks Ana. You have so many things I want to try.
