This is a simple super fun build, you can easily make several in one day and there are so many options on finish. I
Made from RedCedar and WhitePine. All rough cuts from the local mill.
Super easy but first time using any angles in a project so I had to figure my miter saw out before I was succesful at it.
This was a corner cabinet I made. The purpose of this cabinet is to be used as a pantry. My kitchen is quite small, and in turn I was always having to sacrifice cabinet space for pantry items. Total man hours was about 20 give or take the occasional trip to HD or Lowes.
I found this project quite enjoyable. I don't have much of a workshop area so space was tight. I had to constantly move my tools around to make room for the cabinet while I built it.
The plans supplied by this website were simple and straight-forward. I didn't need any specialty tools or have to use any weird joinery. All in all I would give this project an 8 out of 10. There were a couple of areas I feel I can improve on.
After having posted this picture on several social media sites my friends took notice, Now I'm getting all kinds of requests. Not sure if I will entertain any. It's just nice to see a vision come to life.
Thanks for the taking a gander at my work.

I also built a corner cabinet from the same plans and yours is by far the best. You obviously have the patience it takes to get the best out of your project. Looking for more from you.

Thank you so much for your vision! I've been looking for the perfect corner cabinet for at least a year! All the other plans within these plans are ok and would've worked, but I just felt like I wanted something more. I am in love with your doors! They look great! I may make mine a bit larger, but will most definitely add doors the same way you did. Unfortunately, it's not on the top of my priority list, but it will be this summer!!! Great work!

So this was a fun build. I actually finished this 2 years ago, but I never really thought to post it. It took roughly 2 weeks straight to build and stain it, Christmas holiday. I used the kreg jig alot. I also used a ebony outdoor stain. Anyway if y'all have questions let me know and I'll try to answer them as best I can. This was one of my first builds, so be gentle. :)
My wife wanted a bookcase for her office. She had an idea on what she wanted, so this is what I came up with.
Made the case with 3/4” MDF.
Easy to build workbench. I added an extra 2 1/2 inches (width) to the top plywood cut. This gave me a 1 1/4" lip to the front and back sides. I wanted to be able to clamp on all sides of the bench. Also added casters since I wanted to use this as an outdoor table for entertaining if needed and to simply have mobility with the bench. So far I love it!
Made this for Christmas for our 2-year old last year. The plans were easy to follow, and it turned out great. She loves it!
I chose the Southern Yellow Pine because of its strength for furniture. Also I have used the pour on finish before with good results. The wood was a special order thru Menards and took about a week to get.
DIY Buffet Table! Our last edition to the dining room. Very happy with how this one came out! Its all Oak with Special Walnut stain and hardware from Home Depot. We needed this piece to store our fine china we received from our wedding. Still haven't eaten on them yet. . . Anyway! I was inspired by the planked sideboard plan and made it my own. My shelves are straight across and I went for the barn-styled cabinet look. Pretty much used all the tools in my arsenal for this one! Used a belt sander for the first time to make the top perfectly level. Hated using it, to be honest! It really shreds the wood. Other than that, I have another piece to be proud of. Thanks for the inspiration!
Needed a new coffee bar to fit a specific area. Changed the plans to fit my needs and this is the result. Spent a few hours a day over two weekends, probably 8-10 hours in all (paint/stain/poly included)
My son needed more shelves/storage in his room. Modified this a bit shorter in length and with to fit better in his space. Easy to build and love how it turned out!
This project took me about 10 hours. I enjoyed every minute of it! I built this bed for my son. I looked at other plans but you had to pay for them and they weren't as good as these. It's good to no that there is people like Ana that is still willing to help people. Thanks for the plans

Hello,
I've been on this website trying to find the plans for the Simple Bed Plan. I have seen many beds made; however, I don't see the cutting list (supply list) of the materials needed. Can you please help me with the supply list? My hubby and I are going to attempt to make this over the winter for a 3rd birthday present for my son. I would really appreciate the list so that we know what materials to purchase. Thank you in advance for your help with this issue.
Sincere thanks,
The Maynors

I am trying to build the Twin over the full bunk beds that stack. When looking at the site it says to use the Simple Bed Plans. When I look at the simple bed plans I get 3 pictures and that is it. I don't get a supply list or any kind of dimensions for the bed. Could you please point me in the right direction. I need to build the twin over the full bunk bed for family coming to my home in early March.
Thanks

I needed a quick project that could easily be modified for my height needs and would make a good temporary base for my new water dispenser. This was perfect!
A little different take on the plans. We opened up the wall into the playroom and needed something functional yet decorative. This was the perfect addition!
My daughter has a twin XL bed, which we had been unable to find a frame for since getting it. After 2 years of her mattress and box springs on the floor, this plan came out and a plan was hatched to get it made. The biggest change we needed to do different from the twin plans was to make the side rails and the side rail cleats 5" longer to accommodate the XL length. We also added a middle support to keep the side from bowing out, and the cleats are at the bottom of the siderails, as we are using a boxpsring and mattress.

The bed has two matresses, the blocks are there to keep the matresses in place.

Now this is my kind of project! Looks easy but polished. Do you have plans for this?

Platform bed measures:
- Deck: 18x120 mm, width = matress width + 10 cm, length = matress length + 5 cm.
- Headboard: Height 80 cm, width = matress width + 10 cm.
- Beams bed: 36x150 mm, length = matress length - 5 cm.
- Beams headboard: 36x150 mm, height = headboard height - 5 cm.

I would love to make this but I would require plans in order to build it. So if there is any way I could get plans you would make me quite happy.

It looks simple enough, but the headboard looks like it may be tilted. Can you provide instructions on the attachment of that? Thank you
I wanted a place for our dog beds, without just having them all over the floor (we have 2 big dogs and 2 little ones. I decided to build a window seat in front of the large window in our dining room which could double as dog beds/kennels. While the base plan was off the large wood pet kennel end table, it had to be modified significantly to be wider, shorter, and sturdy enough to sit on. I am also still trying to decide if/how i want doors on here. This is actually 2 kennels next to each other (not 4) Next will be to build 2 actual kennels for the big dogs to place on either side of this.

I used the basic design for this bed but altered it quite a lot to make the joins stronger, the edges smoother and the whole thing generally easier to take apart and put back together.
I used beech wood and completed the project at a woodworking club, so it's quite hard to estimate the time taken, as I only did it one evening a week and spent most of the time bringing the wood out, putting it away and clearing up each time I was there!
I am still undecided whether to give it an oil finish or to paint it white with chestnut wood stain on the headboard and footboard tops.
