This was my first Wood Project - EVER.
Working with this plan was quite easy. I just changed the design of the table top to my wife´s wish. I used "Golden Oak Stain" for the Legs and "Provincial Stain" for the Table top and Bench. The Legs are covered with Water seal and the Tops with 3 layers of Polyurethane. Chairs are Stained in Provincial also. Was a lot of fun for all of us. Learned a lot during this build.
Thanks

Thanks for the nice comments. I bought the Chairs at a local Mexican Furniture Shop, sanded them, Stained them to fit the Table Top and put 3 layers Polyurethane on it... Came Out nice.
Thanks Alain.

This has probably been done before but here it is for consideration by my fellow woodworkers. If you're anything like me I get pretty impatient waiting for wood glue to work its way out of the tube. So using some scrap wood, I drilled 1.5 inch holes in a small 1x4 board and elevated it about 3 inches. A small board under the glue tubes catches any unwanted drips. Makes a perfect caddy for my glue tubes and no more waiting for my glue. Its always ready to go!

Nice way to keep them collected AND ready to go.
Could do the same for condiments, maybe.
I sent these plans to my dad and said I wanted him to help me build it for Christmas. He came with everything cut and ready to be sanded and assembled! It was put together and stained in a day! I love my Christmas present, and love that my dad and I built it. It will be a family table, for sure!
This was a great project to build, easy directions and easy to make modifications to. I built this bedroom suit for my son and his bride with their brand routered in the middle and used black epoxy to fill. Used Miniwax Honey colored stain and finished it with two coats of Danish Oil to protect it.
This was my first project. My wife saw it and told me to make it :)
This was my first bigger woodworking project, and I loved the project and the plan! I'm just starting out buying tools, so the only power tool I used for this was a drill. I also have yet to get a work bench, so for now I was just working on the floor inside my apartment.
In order to use up some leftover wood, I made the sides out of several boards instead of one solid piece. I didn't use pocket holes for lack of a jig; instead I simply glued the boards on the sides and connected them with a few thin screwed-on boards inside. I will still line the inside with some sort of cloth, so I wasn't too concerned about what it looks like inside.
Considering my circumstances, I'm extremely pleased with the results, and ready to soon move on to another project.
From start to finish it took me about 3 weeks of working on it about 2 hours in the evening maybe 4 days a week (mind you, I'm a beginner and was using hand tools).

You did a very good job considering you did it all by hand. When I was afraid to use power tools I made my sons first bed by hand so I know how difficult it can be. Since you already have a drill I'd suggest getting a miter saw next. It will save so much time with your cuts. You'll also get perfect angles. :)
I dont have a pocket hole jig either but if you still want pocket holes you can buy a countersink drill bit at just about any hardware store (or use a regular drill bit but the countersink ones work better, I feel) and angle it at 15 degrees or so. Then just sink your screw right into the hole. Viola, hand made pocket holes. :)
I love the dark color too, job well done

I found the Workbench Console plans on this site and thought it would look great behind the sofa.
The length was extended to make it comfortable for 3 people to sit at and also to span the length of the sofa. I cut out a section at the back and lowered it to hold some glasses. This fits 4 beer glasses, 4 wine glasses and 4 shot glasses. The towel holder is a cast iron key that I found on Amazon. On the other end is a cast iron bottle opener found on eBay.
I would like to take credit for the chairs, but I cheated and got these from IKEA.
We love using this while eating dinner and watching a movie and is especially handy when guests are over.
Made this Accessory Holder as a Christmas gift for a male cousin to hold his phone, watch, ring, glasses, and wallet. Comes apart for easy movement. I like the two-tone of the stains and the simplicity of the holder. Router kept giving a bit of kickback, biting into the wood where it was unwanted, hence the messy cord line, but as with most of my projects, I don't mind the mistakes that make them more "unique". Artistic choice? : ) Also difficult was figuring out the angle to cut the opening slot for the side piece. It needed to be angled to set the side piece just how I wanted it. Eventually decided on 10 degrees.
The idea for this holder was based on this: http://cleverwoodprojects.org/woodworking-projects-for-beginners-six-ea…
Don't read the site- it was clearly written by a bot or ESL individual, because it's mostly gibberish. Just used the image for inspiration.
I freehanded a design that then was drawn on the wood and had plenty of fittings and mockup pieces made throughout to figure out how things would fit. Fun challenge, great gift.
The table is based on the farmhouse table with pocket holes. I used a mulwark pocket hole set. The bench was made with all scrap lumber and I ended up being short on 2x4 wood, so I used 2x2 on each side to accommodate the same dimensions. It was a time crunch, but I got it all done before Xmas Eve and it looks dope.

Oh yes, that is dope! Thank you for sharing, love the finish choices!
I built Ana's Reclaimed Wood Headboard. This was the easiest piece I have built so far! Very quick! You can see the steps I took to finish it at our blog http://www.shanty-2-chic.com/2011/04/diy-headboard.html
We've made the decision to homeschool our almost 5 year old daughter starting in September. The dining room will be the school room, but I don't want to lose my table in the process. So I began looking for good storage options. I saw the Display-It-Storage Mirror on the PB Teen website and loved it! Right up until I choked on the price tag. I went inspiration hunting and found Ana's Willy bookcase plans. I modified the Highrise Condo Willy bookcase, added a base with lazy susan hardware and a top outfitted with crown molding. Then I bought some cork on Amazon to create a cork board on one side, a role of dry erase paper to create a dry erase board on the other side and framed them. On the back, I hung a bathroom organizer with lots of pockets for dry erase pens, push pins, pencils, tape, scissors, etc. Finishing touch was my daughter's choice of scrapbook paper for the inside backing.
The base came from Ana’s site, the headboard came out of my head ;-)
I upsized this to king size for my daughter. I think I entered the correct ‘plan’ name below. It’s been a few months since I built it. I painted the basket cubbies and applied (I think) spar urethane to the rest.
Super plan on her part, Ana’s, I love the other things I’ve done from here as well. Sorry but the pics rotated when they were resized on upload.
My husband and I built this dresser to use as a changing table in our daughters nursery. I explain the build process (with photos) in this blog post : http://mekhart.blogspot.com/2011/03/nursery-room-biggest-build-yet.html and the finishing process in this blog post : http://mekhart.blogspot.com/2011/04/nursery-room-finished-dresser.html . I'm so thankful to Ana...I love that almost every element of her nursery is home made!
Made this for my wife for our anniversary!

Thanks for the plans!!!
We really liked the design of the console table. We built an entry way table and a coffee table to match. We did change some of the measurement to suit our particular needs. We are very happy with how this one turned out. Next we plan on making some end tables to match also.
We had our first American Girl Doll Christmas ... and it was a big hit ... the girls all love their American girl dolls.
So we decided to make them beds. Found Ana project on line ... and it was so fast and easy, thank you.
We made 3 beds, from the supply list .... and 1 cradle, from an old oak magazine rack we found at the thrift store ... turned out so cute.
And we are looking to make the couch and chair set.
Thanks you again, Kim
This is the first bench I have ever made.
This is my favorite build so far! When I saw the plan I pretty muh obssesed over it for weeks until I finally gave in and here it is!
I must confess...I have no where to put it haha. I don't care, I saw it and had to have it.
