Farmhouse Coffee Table [Beginner/Under $40]
I altered the design slightly by using pocket holes on the top and the bottom slats. I didn't want any of the screws to show since i was painting the base white. I used all purpose bondo to smooth the seams for a more finished look. This has been my favorite build so far and I can't wait for the matching end table to be released.

That looks so good! ....and…
That looks so good! ....and is exactly how I want to paint mine (stained wood top, white painted bottom). I have two questions-
1. Did you paint the base white after assembling it together (minus the table top piece) or did you paint it before assembly?
2. Did you bondo every gap, or were you referring to just the table top?
Again, it looks so great and now I really want to get going on making my own.
Doll High Chair for birthday
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.
Mobile Workbench
This is from Ana White's "Get the Job Done Workbench" post,
http://ana-white.com/2011/11/workbench-get-job-done
First project using my new Ridgid Sliding Compound miter saw/table and new Kreg HD Jig for pocket holes.
Thanks to my girlfriend for noticing that the depth worked out perfectly for resting three Rubbermaid Roughneck Totes underneath for holding clamps, tools, etc. Also added a paper towel holder under neath, a power strip and of course a bottle opener to the front. :)
Primer and some cheap $2.50 "Oops" paint from Lowe's finished the project.
Now I can move on to other projects and use this sweet new workbench!
Loved these plans. Super easy to follow and modify as needed.
And "Marty" in the photo also approves of the final product.
Thanks!

Can't find the mobile work bench plans. Link is other project
I am looking for the plans to build the mobile workbench on casters but the video is for the wall board to hang tools and for a different work bench with no casters. How do I get the plans for the mobile work bench?

RE : Can''t find the mobile work bench plans
Adding to my prior comment, I thought the plans were different because it does not mention casters that I can see. I now see the bench is in the plans but no mentioned of casters other than comments. I will double check. Thank you.
Simple, Easy Console Table
This was my very first build... a few years ago. I built it for my son's first apartment and it has survived several moves since then. It's great for an entry table or for a flat screen tv. Thanks for all the plans, Ana!
Grill Table with Marble Top
I used some leftover marble from having our countertops replaced and modified the plans to fit the marble. Love my new grill table!

Doll Crib
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!
Dress Up Closet
We turned the back into a puppet show theater for the kids. We added a shelf up top for storage, inclosed the back and added curtains w/ rod. For the puppets we kept it cheap...found some wooden cutouts and large popsicle sticks. The letters on the front were small ones bought from the craft store and used some paint I had around the house.
Laundry Room Storage
Modified the laundry basket dresser to hold 3 baskets and have a storage space for laundry/cleaning supplies in our small laundry room. We were going to paint it white, with some leftover paint we had (at the bottom there) but decided we want to change up the room and add some color. We will paint/stain it once we figure out what we want to do with the space but are using it as is until then.
Awesome project!
Thanks for the awesome table plans. I ended up mixing a few different plans to fit what I was looking for. Everyone loves it!
Essential End Tables

I loved the simplicity and my wife loved the color.
Thank you
simple bed
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

Simple Bed Plan Cutting List
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

Simple Bed Plans
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

Emersen console
I altered the plans to fit the space where it would be going. I extended the length and added another side of shelves. I also reduced the size of the doors a little and made the base a little shorter to reduce overall height. This project required and extra sheet of plywood to complete. I used the Purebond birch from Home Depot and whitewood for the face frame and doors. I liked the finish in the original plan so I tried to make it look similar. I used different shades of brown and also scorched some boards of the door and some areas of the face frame with a torch. For the light areas on the door and frame I just taped off and sanded down. I worked on it when I had some spare time but this project could be completed in a weekend including the finish.
Entertainment Center and Bookshelves
A combination of the Printers Triple Console Cabinet and the Reclaimed Wood Rolling Shelf (x2). We knew we wanted the bookshelves so I made those first. The plans were really easy to follow and I knocked out both in a weekend. Once I got those where we wanted them, it left a void that only the Printers Console could fill. That took a little longer than anticipated and was about at the extent of my woodworking skill (so far!) but it came together perfectly.
Printers Console Cabinet ($250-300)

Re: Center line blocks
The bed has two matresses, the blocks are there to keep the matresses in place.

Plans for this project?
Now this is my kind of project! Looks easy but polished. Do you have plans for this?
Tue, 04/17/2012 - 12:03
No plans, but some measures
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.

Plans request
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.

Plans would be great if anyone has them
It looks simple enough, but the headboard looks like it may be tilted. Can you provide instructions on the attachment of that? Thank you
Work bench with 3/4 blonde plywood (2sheets) top
I based my work bench on the "sturdy workbench" plan. I made my top using two sheets of blonde 3/4 inch plywood. I glued/screwed and clamped two 3' x 6' sheets together (had the store cut 4x8 sheet to my dimensions). I didn't stain it but did coat with 3 coats of poly. The legs and supports are 2x4s (i think i used 7 though some was left over scrap) and the shelves were built from scrap MDF I had left over from a previous project. I designed my top to hang over at least two inches (longer in some areas depending on where the supports line up) to make clamping easier and it sits 37" from the floor. I wanted to ensure i had adequate space for my shopvac and air compressor so I lowered the base from the original design to avoid making the workbench too tall. This work bench is a very good size for my needs and extremely sturdy!
Famhouse Dining Table
I wanted a really long table for my dining room to use at family gatherings so I can host more dinners. This table is 9 feet long and has plenty of space for our needs. I used knotty pine and finished it with Minwax Espresso wood stain. I then added 1 coat of polyurethane as I didn't want the table to appear shiny but still wanted some protection in case of spills.
This project was definitely a labour of love but I'm thrilled with the results.

Live Edge Farmhouse Dining Table
I was scared to try this project because it is listed as "intermediate" and I don't have that much furniture building experience. I originally wanted to do this with live edge, but when I saw how much it was gonna cost, I thought I would just do planks. Lucky me, I found 5 8ft live edge pieces (1 ft wide, 3 inches thick) for CAN $100. Some 2x4 and 1x4 and I was ready to rock and roll. I decided to make the table 6 ft long, so the legs are 5 ft apart. I made the connection a bit different than in the plans, just because I want to be able to stretch our legs underneath. It is as stable as can be. I love Ana White's plans. Great instructions, great cut list and almost no left overs.
