Pretty straightforward build, fun to use and build!
I have 5 grandchildren that I made chairs for
I saw this project on this site and thought it would be a great item to build and to store my kids art supplies. The 8 cubbies are perfect for glue sticks, pens, crayons, and scissors.
This was a really fun project! We increased the leg height to 16" to work better for our Great Dane. Also, there's a typo in the "to buy" list. It says you should buy 1X2 @30.5" but they really mean a 1X3 since they refer to a 1X3 the rest of the time. It still works with a 1X2, but we used 3 pocket drilled holes instead of the 5 they suggested.
Built this for my daughter this past Christmas, she was 15mo then and not too enthusiastic about being in the tower. Now at nearly 20mo she demands her "towah" when it's time to "wash a hans" and she doesn't mind being plopped in it while we do things in the kitchen (as long as its not for TOO long...) We're looking forward to many years of use out of the tower, thanks for the plans! This was my first project with the Kreg pocket screw jig, really liked it and wished I'd had it for some of my past projects.
This one was fun to build. I feel in love with it when I saw it. I used weather grey stain from rustoleum and I love how it turned out.
I made this in an afternoon as a wedding gift for my brother and soon to be sister-in-law. This was my first project using Ana's plans and I can't beleive I got it finished in a day. The hardest part was getting everything filled in and painted since I used paint grade pine. I did add a length of half round to the top just under the ledge for a little more decorative effect. I didn't realize how huge and heavy it would turn out. Guess that's just what happens when you build something entirely out of wood
doll house book case with a Hot Pink Roof, also trimmed/painted the doors and window frames. Marking this as a week long project as I was only able to work on it in the evenings, however I believe this could be tackled in a weekend

Wow, that is one happy little girl! And no wonder, what a beautiful job you did! Looks like a great gift for grandkids, too!
I made this bed for my son. I was a beginner with little to no experience before I started this project. I learned a LOT along the way and now I'm addicted to building things. It wouldn't have taken me so long if I had a little more experience. Staining was difficult, especially when you have two kids wanting to help. My drawers slides were absolutely impossible! Next time I will use a different method for the drawers. I still need to make the ladder. I haven't come across any plans for that so I'm going to wing it. The bed is not perfect by any means but my son doesn't care.
Our version of the outdoor sectional. We couldn't find 24" wide pillows so we modified the design to accommodate 22"x24" ones. We also added a 1x8 held on with pocket screws to provide some additional support on the back and help keep the pillows from falling through.
Keepsake box made of maple, black walnut, mahogany and zebra wood.
Three cube bench for entryway.
i build this crate a little bigger for my large doberman. She loves it and sleeps in it all the time. I put the gate on wrong though and she has since chewed the bottom slats, so im going to replace it and add one more so there is less room to chew between.
I made this table in a weekend, the plans made it so easy to do, thanks Ana for giving me the courage to take this on! I love building stuff!
I used the Outdoor Sofa plans and added an outside frame.
I used scrap wood from a squat rack I built. In the process of making 2 benches for it
My sister put in request for bigger coffee table and 2 end tables, again, the building part was not that difficult, the time consuming portion was staining. But they turned out great!
This table is made entirely from Ethically sourced Local Redwood Timber. The wood has been kiln dried which makes it very solid and perfect to make furniture with. This results in a piece which is known for it's sturdiness, it's chunky & rustic look and it's lovely grain and colour.
I have used carefully selected Kiln Dried Timber planks of varying sizes here. When the table has been finished, the grain and colour really shine through.
This table is very sturdy and moderately heavy (Approx 15kg's).
The table may move ever so slightly over it's years too. This is due to the temperature changes in your home and thus it may create very slight cracks and stretches etc. This is perfectly natural and only adds to the rustic charm of this kind of piece. I really like the way wood moves over time and creates a character of it's own. In this regard, each and every table is going to be unique.
The legs on this table are fixed, as is the shelf.
This console table has been distressed and aged and features authentic wear marks such as knocks, dings, scrapes and even nail and screw thread marks!! It looks like it been in this world for generations!
It is then finished off by being waxed all over to treat and protect the wood.
I hope you all like it! It's fun to build.
Mark :)
Adapted to fit in a corner
Hello,
I had some downtime at my furniture business, so I built this to sell. It's just a basic bench with base board. People in southeast GA are loving this piece!!
Well, I had just bought a house. We had no furniture for our sunroom, so I took it upon myself to build some while materials were still cheap.
Hindsight, the chairs rear end should have been a level seat instead of trying to build an Adirondack style club chair. I modified the ends to match the modern style so they would match the chairs.
The sofa turned out great, all are solid and built with pocket screws. Sealed with redwood deck sealer, should last forever!
For the covers, we had them made from covers and all, and went to the local Joann and bought 4" thick foam.and wrapped it with with polyfill. Can't tell that they were made in a backyard, but they've been great for 18 months so far!
