Fancy X Farmhouse Table
This project was so easy and it looks awesome!!!!
This project was so easy and it looks awesome!!!!
found plans for the "sweet pea garden bunk beds" on this site. Here is our take on them they came out so awesome.
I loved this plan when I first saw it. I did make mine with metal that was 36 inches for the legs, it was the length available at my local hardware store and it also allows me to have plants on two levels and still be high enough for sunlight (unplanned bonus).
We made some modifications to the greenhouse to include a bench with three levels, a working bench and a square foot garden. We also put it on concrete to keep all the weeds out from the bottom as well.
This is a variation of the wood wagon design http://ana-white.com/node/13430. I wanted old 2 year old to be able to use it in the lawn so I changed the wheels and steering over to a more traditional wagon wheel. We will be giving to him for Christmas. I had a lot of fun building this for my son. I hope he loves it.

Love the plans. I would, however, like to follow the modified plans to make it suitable for outdoor/grass areas. If any one could help me with that I'd be very grateful.
I made this box for my wifes christmas present. She has been riding horses for sometime and is planning on doing some shows. I built this box from Mimi's storage bench design, made it bigger, added a deeper box top and created the rest from looking at pictures online. Its all made of pine plywood and pine boards to keep it light. I added 4 castors to the bottom to make it easily moveable and hid them with the moulding around the bottom. Still has to be sanded and stained before it hits the barn. Its 39W X 24D X 29H. I used a piano hinge and routered the back to set the hing in. Added cove moulding around the bottom and to all the boxes around the front and side. Used a lot of pocket holes and finsh nails. Took me longer than it could have, because I planned everything as I went. I will add more pictures when its finsihed. I would rate it intermediate to advanced depending on your skills with certain tools.

Wow - that's a lot of work and well done. Great job! I'm sure your wife adores it.
This was my second project and my first piece of furniture I built from Ana's plans. We have a vaulted ceiling in the hallway near my entry and needed a really big piece to fill up the large blank wall. I always hated the space but now I Love It. The Gigantic sideboard is perfect there. I finished it with milk paint and paste wax. If you inspect it closely it is not perfect but for my first piece... I love it and it's supposed to be rustic right!

I got the pulls at Richelieu hardware. Classic Metal Drop Pull - 750
Product #BP750908. http://www.richelieu.com/ca/en/category/decorative-hardware/cabinet-har…
I loved the Rustic Adirondack Chair so much I felt I needed to make a bench in the same style. I had to be a little creative with the chair plans and modify them to make my bench work. I am absolutely thrilled with how it came out! I already have a friend who has requested a chair and bench (love seat) for his son's wedding gift!

Can someone tell me the dimensions of the wood (1x10) for the bench and the dimensions for the frame (2x4)
Please
Thank you

You can make the 1x10 in any length you want. I’m planning on making a loveseat too and The measurements I chose for the seating area will be 48” long (which is the size for 2 seat cushions).
The Step 1 in Ana’s plan, all measurements will be the same.
Step 2: The two 2x4 horizontal supports will be cut at 48”.
Step 3: the two 1x10 seat panels will be 3 inches longer than the horizontal supports. So you will cut the 1x10 seat panels at 51”.
Step 4: Instead of two, you will need THREE seat supports. So cut three 2x4’s @ 32 3/4”. The third seat support will go in the middle of the other seat supports, drilled to the horizontal back support.
Step 5: Attach your back bottom horizontal support which will be a 2x4 at 48”.
Step 6: Attach the 1x10 seat back panels. You will cut (3) 1x10 @ 48”.
Here is the cut list for the loveseat version of Ana’s Adirondack plan. These are the lengths I chose. So with this cut list your loveseat should be big enough for two 24x24” seat cushions. I plan to add cushions for extra comfort.
My cut list:
(2) 2x4 @ 31 3/4”
(2) 2x4 @ 19 1/2”
(2) 2x4 @ 33 1/4” Cut at 20 degrees as per Ana’s plan.
(3) 2x4 @ 48” Horizontal supports. One goes behind your calves.
The other connects the end frames/arm rests at the back.
(2) 1x10 @ 51” Seat panels.
(3) 2x4 @ 32 3/4” Vertical supports for the back panels.
(3) 1x10 @ 48” The back panels.

P.S.
You will also need an extra support attached underneath the seat panels in the middle for extra support and keep the long seat panels from bowing.
This project was based on your plans and dimensions, with a few modifications. I created more slats (41 in all!), and spaced them a bit differently. I also added a pull out tray on the bottom, lined with thick plastic, to ease cleanup if necessary. The crate was painted with soldier blue milk paint and finished with two coats of boiled linseed oil. Finished off with brass barrel bolts and hinges. Our schnauzer loves it!
My first Ana White project. Built Ana’s awesome small cedar shed as an outhouse for our many cats. The have access to it from inside the house. Great way to keep litter boxes and the mess out of the house. It is stand alone, and attached to the house, in front of a bedroom window. There are two ‘entrances’ as well as two, one-way, escape hatches, if a cat in the outhouse is interrupted by another cat (I.e. a male cat comes in and the female feels trapped) they can exit to the outside (one way so no critters can come inside!). Ana has easy to build plans, great site! I plan on making the square table just posted today for my newly refurbished deck. Keep in mind, my estimated costs and time reflect a LOT of additional features on the inside. The shed itself, very easy, simple, inexpensive. Very little waste with Ana’s projects as well.

Thank you for sharing, what a cool project!
I used your plans for the table but changed the table dimensions to fit my space. My table is square and measures 58"x58". I also changed the chairs to have a straight back and then the top is is cut at a 6 degree angle. I love them so much!!!
I did many 2020 (Covid projects) and this was my favorite. My wife has an 8' church pew that she wanted a farm table to go with it. The table ended up being 8'10" long. The most time was spent on sanding, painting and finishing. Enjoyed this project.

You've been busy! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful projects!
I was searching for a table and chairs for my son's playroom, and I could not believe the prices! I had just purchased a new saw for some moulding projects around the house, and then I found this site. This table and chair was my first wood working project, and they turned out great! I followed the plans for the Clara table, but used a combination of the 4 dollar chair and modern angle chair. I loved how the chair turned out. I am currently working on the second. I used poplar instead of pine which increased the cost. I wanted a weathered finish, I ended up using water-based walnut stain over a white wash. I am so happy I found this site, my next project is patio furniture.
I love to build, but I also love to bake. I happen to have several small boxes of pudding and jello mix that clutter up the shelves of my pantry. Using a single 1 x 4 pine board and some scrap 1 x 2's, I came up with a simple dispenser to keep the boxes organized and out of the way. A really simple project, good for a beginner. The link to my blog contains building plans and step-by-step tutorial.
I love how this desk turned out. I haven't had corner brackets catch my eye yet, but I may still add them. This was the first real Brad Nailer project I have completed. It is stained in a dark walnut. Thanks again for another great plan and tutorial video!
Super easy gift for a toddler

To cute, really like the lettering. Not to many boy things to build, hands down one of my favorites!
This is a set of photo ledges built for a friend!
Website article: http://www.lanebroswoodshop.com/2015/02/photo-ledges.html
We built the one arm sectional but 8 ft cedar was all we could buy. So with the scraps left over we built the coffee table to match. Couldn't be happier with it.
Hey Ana! I just finished the Entry Way Shelf and will be staring on the bench soon. I love your projects and especially that they are free! I'm so cheap I have a hard time parting w/ my money when I don't know something will work out, but yours always do!! I can follow a blueprint and create things based on a model but I don't have the creativity to come up w/ them myself, I'm sure glad you can! LOL! Thanks SOOOO much for sharing and I continue to look forward to the next thing!
Thanks again!

Built this deck dining table and benches from Lowes cedar, and the results way exceeded my expectations! The plans were so well written, it was easy to slightly modify (made both table and benches wider and longer) and the build was very simple. The clear directions helped give me the confidence to do this and we have got so many nice compliments. There was nothing this sturdy and simple even available to buy. I even built a coffee table and bar table after modifying the plans a bit. Thank you Ana!
