This was a very quick project. Only took 5.5 hours from start to finish, including dragging out and putting all the tools away afterwards!

I left the teeter-totter unfinished, not sure how it will make it through the winter. I may decide to paint it this summer.

I used a length of copper pipe for the bolt to ride through, along with some washers between all the pivot points. This should help keep the boards from wearing away over time.

This has been the BEST outdoor toy around! It gets used EVERY day in the nice weather.

Thanks Ana for the great plans!

I built my son his first "big boy" bed and we needed a headboard so my wife loved this one, and now my son does too! 

With pocket holes this was pretty easy to do, great plans, I had to modify the dimensions a bit since we didn't build the Hailey bed. We built a twin version of the Captain's Storage bed, so this matched up with it with only a few minor adjustments. Thanks for the plans and the great site.

Still need to choose a color or stain but we love having the garbage hidden

This was our first furniture project together. It was not as simple as we thought it would be, but we are very pleased with how it came out. We are planning on making the sofa table to match next!

The build was pretty easy. Husband did it in a day. But after the paint dried and we out it in our laundry room and I did some laundry we realized that the washer now shakes the entire pedestal violently to the point where the dryer is being shaken so much that it's banging against the wall. We have brand new LG washer and dryer and this wasn't a problem before our diy pedestal. Do you have any modification suggestions?  We really love the project- but we will have to take it out if we can't find a solution for the shaking. 

I made the taller version of this plan. 2x2's are my arch nemesis! Never again will I build something primarily using 2x2's because they are SO wonky! I tried to find the straightest boards possible but still it didn't make for a very good bookcase. I would recommend building this if you have a table saw & you can cut your own 2x2's! It will suffice for storage in my craft room, but I am not sure if it will hold up during all of our moves, because my husband is in the Army!

I built this table after seeing a similar one on your site. Mine is built with 2x2 legs, a shelf, and just one piece of 1x12 for the top. I was wanting something for in front of my window but this one is to small so I will eventually build a bigger one for in front of my window and move this one. Thanks for the inspiration!!

Made this media center for a DIY TV show at my home and I think I'm proudest of this project!  It turned out so beautifully.  Shelf pin jig was used for movable shelves inside, ORB handles and knobs, a very smooth poly'd top, and plenty of room for our components.  The doors were the hardest part.  Being inset, they just didn't want to fit and would scrape the frame.  Lots of repositioning of the hinges.  The thick acrylic for the doors was a little difficult as well- it cut easily enough in the table saw, but screwing in threatened breakage.  It was also hard to fit them where their fasteners didn't compete with the knobs or shelves.  I also made the TV stand to match the media center (and because I didn't want to buy one!)  Love this project!

Garden Shed out of douglas wood

i added wooden floor .

Totally enjoyed making this for my very first brand new step-grandson Luca.  Learned a few new tricks along the way and had a blast!  

Added a fourth seat to the sectional peice. This way it fills the space on my deck much better. Plans worked great. Both peices

completed in under 3 hours. 

Built this headboard for my fiancee as her valentines day gift.

This is my version of the pallet inspired coat rack. I didn't have the room for the 8-foot version in the original plans so I cut it down to 5 feet. Otherwise it follows the plans as listed, just with shorter cuts.

Stain is dark walnut.

We have a very small laundry room that does triple duty as a dog kennel and mud room. This riser is a perfect storage solution! The fact that I can see directly to the back of the Washer, and transfer clothes without bending over, is an added bonus! The building plans are sturdy and easy to follow!
