This is the first woodworking project I have done since high school (16 years ago!) and it's more ambitious than anything I attempted then!
It was easier than I thought on the whole, although I got a bit baffled by Australian standard timber sizes being totally different from USA ones. (The guy at the timber yard was all "One WHAT by two WHAT?") And because I couldn't find a 1x12 longer than 47 inches, I had to make the bench slightly shorter. I didn't anticipate how incredibly hard that would make it to calculate the cross support angles. (It's not just trigonometry, because there are multiple possible solutions).
It was the first time I've tried to upholster anything, too, so it's a bit wrinkly at the corners, but I'm happy with it.
I think the painting took the longest. I built the bench in one afternoon, but I had to do four coats of paint (and one of primer), each of which took nearly 24 hours to dry, so it took forever to finish.
I made this little end table for my daughter-in-law to accompany the porch bench I made for her about 2 years ago. It's a simple little table but it does have one unique feature. My son and daughter-in-law cut down a large old cedar tree from in front of their house and gave me the wood. I thought it might be nice to build something for them from the tree so aI milled several pieces of the tree and let them dry in my shed for about one year. It took a while to run the wood through the planner to get it just right. I used the wood for the table top and the wood grain looks just beautiful. In fact, I'm just now leaving to their house on Bainbridge Island to give them the table. I know she'll love it!
We have an Airbnb at a nearby lake. We built the large and kids picnic tables so our guests can enjoy the outdoors!!

Farmhouse table from plans. Shortened length to 6.5 feet to fit our area. Good plans.

I ALSO Love the "Filled" hole look! I'm going to be building this table this weekend, any suggestions on getting that look?

New to the site, can anyone help me get to the plans for this table? I love everything about it.

Just go to the blue bar above Ana's picture at the top of the page where it says "plans" and type in the kind of table you're interested in. Prepare to drool over all the gorgeous furniture and projects!
My wife has always wanted a king sized bed. While my hobbyist woodworking skills are not (yet) to the point where I can create the mahogany sleigh bed she has always dreamed of, I think she has enjoyed the farmhouse bed that I built for her X-mas present. We bought a new gel mattress for the bed, which sits on a few sheets of plywood over a frame of 2x4s. While we have no current plans to move anytime soon, using some of the advice of commenters/posters, I constructed our bed and frame with bed rail brackets and hanger joists that will allow us the option to disassemble/reassemble it in the future.

What did you ue to connect the bed rails to the Headboard and Foorboard.
I am at a loss.

Janie, I ended up buying some bed rail hardware with the idea that I might someday disassemble the bed: http://www.rockler.com/surface-mounted-keyhole-bed-rail-brackets
if you want to do it cheaper, joist hangers should work.
Loved making this dresser, and it works awesome in my baby girl's room.
My wife has been asking me to build her a pantry since we bought our house last year and I finally got around to doing it. I used the Barn Door Entertainment center plans as inspiration but Instead of using the 1x12x8ft lumber suggested I used 1x6x8ft boards connected with pocket holes to save on costs. The Barn door hardware is the SMARTSTANDARD 8ft heavy duty (double door) which I purchased on Amazon for 73$.
Awesome and easy build! Thank you!

This was my first "build" and was a lot of fun. Very quick and very easy. I'm so happy with how cute it turned out!
Biult this for my outdoor patio. Got the cushions from Lowes.ca for about $80 each.
I only work with reclaimed/junk wood and this has literally been the most rewarding thing I've ever done. I absolutely love these projects! can't thank you enough for sharing plans- and for free! (I also made a chair but it won't let me upload a pic.)
I finished this a while back for my granddaughter. I modified the side rails so it could be disassembled and reassembled in her bedroom.
I had fun with this project. I needed a long and narrow desk for my son's room, and this was perfect. It was sooo easy. I used countersink drill bit and filled in with wood filler. I sanded to smooth it out and make soft edges. I stained first with a black cherry stain, then spread teal paint around (was inspired by a lot of rustic wood and teal pieces that I saw at homegoods), then coated it with kona miniwax stain to darken it up. I put a clear polyurethane finish on it to protect it. Super easy and I love it. Got all of my wood for under $30.
I used Anna's shelving plans from this video https://youtu.be/cTxRBckenI4 and it was super easy. I also made a cut out for the mini freezer on the far end and also cut the ends closest to the garage door track at a 45 degree. The shelves are 24 inches and the run is 16' long. The cost was right at $100. We are building more of the same shelving in the garage very soon.
Thanks Anna for the design!

You are welcome, thanks for using my plans! Looks great!
Dog feeding station with storage. Have a container of dog food underneath. Whipped up with some scraps while quarantined today.
We made the captain’s bed for our two grandchildren, and they love it. We have made several things from Ana’s plans. They are so easy to follow! Thanks so much!

I made this bed for my 6 year old daughter. I loved Anna's Loft Bed plans, but she wanted a bigger play area underneath. So I modified the twin loft bed plans to fit a queen mattress. I also added extra supports for the mattress, and I used PureBond plywood on top of the supports for the mattress to sit on.
That's the Farmhouse Toddler Bed underneath. My younger daughter inherited her big sister's twin bed, so the toddler bed was put to use in the new "playhouse."

We’ve been looking for exactly this!! Can you share your modified plans and the list of lumber and supplies needed?
Sun, 09/02/2012 - 12:45
I think it's great that you modified it to a queen! I live a studio and NEED something like this. Could you share the modifications? It looks beautiful = )
Sun, 09/02/2012 - 20:58
The changes I made were:
End planks cut to 63"
Top back guard and front and back rails cut to 87"
The top guard rails on ends cut to 66"
I measured for the mattress supports and the front guard rail after the rest was completed.
You should also measure for the bookcases after the rest is completed, but each of mine wound up being about 31" wide.
Everything else was pretty much the same.
Hope that helps.

This is wonderful - I've been looking to make something like this for an urban efficiency (adult) apartment! Thanks so much for sharing your modifications!
Mon, 07/29/2013 - 14:08
Will the height of the bed allow for adults to stand under it? If not what modifications should be made to make the height fit a standing adult? (the highest being 6'1" male) Thanks! =D
Ok I decided to construct my very first project - a small outdoor table that would look a bit ancient mostly because the need for it in my house has been screaming since I could remember. I would selfish to say that I did it alone but I got a bit of help from my hussy. I'm happy that the kids love it and all struggle to have lunch on it.
