I started off building the loft bed. It was a lot of fun. I cut every single piece of this, and hand everything, other than the white sox and players decals. I made the light up pinwheel signs that light up whenever the white sox hit a home run. I had fond memories of the famous scoreboard going to games at the old comiskey park, and my 5 year old son loves the white sox, and this bed! There is a door as well that opens up and goes into the locker room. Underneath there is a rv, with a chair, and some other cool amenities good enough for a real major league player. I won’t tell the secret of how I designed the pinwheel light boxes, and the led lights. I had to get realllly creative. This was a huge project that completely consumed me for months. I love it though, and wanted to thank Ana for the great plans on the loft style bed! Thank you Ana white!!! Your the best

This is my very first woodworking project! My oldest daughter badly needed a bigger bookcase... I made this last year and it's already completely stuffed full of books now! Home Depot ripped the MDF for me, hubby helped me put it together and then I finished it. Since it is tall and narrow, the sides were bowing inward. I decided NOT to make ALL shelves adjustable, so I made two of them part of the bookcase. Squared things up nicely. The rest of the shelves are removable though.

Easy to make Christmas trees from palet wood. This was my first built and it was completed with only 2 power tools.

This is a piece I made out of scraps just for fun. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out and how functional it is!

I looked on the Tryde Console Table and Simple Console Table as a reference and just figured out the dimensions from what material I had. I also added a piece of wood in the center, and winged it with the shelf on the bottom.

Entryway bench, modified size to fit space and added cushion. ** Cost includes foam and fabric for cushion. Bench itself cost about $60.

Love this! My husband used this project to help boys learn to use power tools and work with wood. They made one and he did the others. THANK YOU!

This was my first project I did close to a year ago. I was so excited about the site I decided to go big right away and do a table and benches for our first house we hadn't moved into yet. I had help and it was quite the learning experience. I think I would start with something smaller first but in the end we got a wonderful table in our dining area that has had plenty of use!

Quick little project

This was my first build I have wanted to get this particular desk from Pottery Barn but don't have the space for it.  I used the corner desk plans but on one side I used the plans for the legs used on the smaller desk. Since it wasn't too big I made the desktop one piece.  All in all it was pretty straightforward.  The only problem I had was when I put the legs on the wrong side, I didn't realize until after I had used wood filler and painted.
