Sarah loved your Nested Grill Cart build however, the plans called for a 5 foot wide cart and we only had room for 4 feet on the back deck. Made the appropriate adjustments and went to town. Turned out well and Sarah is quite pleased with how it turned out. Adding a shelf for needed storage.
I built these two end tables from the rustic x end table plans. I tweaked the original plan to make them smaller. I only used 4 - 2x6's for the top instead of using 5, and I used 2 - 2x6's for the bottom shelf instead of using the 2 - 1x12's. My top is 20x22.5 and the base is 18x18.

I made the original and found it larger than I wanted. I was going to do a smaller version like you did. How tal is yours?
I made this for our first new family addition. My wife is 20 weeks pregnant and we find out if it's a boy or girl tomorrow at 0800! So excited, and thanks to Ana for the great plans.

My son was looking for some type of planter for his front porch and could not find anything that suited him. I seen these plans on your website so my wife and I decided to try and make these for him as a surprise. These are very simple to make by following your plans. Our son loved them and is wanting two more. Thanks Ana.

We used the Weatherly plans for this project amending in a couple of places. The two seat version was attached to the three with using just one set of legs and then we added a 2 x 6" upright at the join and put another 2 x 6" on top for a drinks tray! Rather than 8 individual 24" cushions we went with 48 x 24" seats and did the same for the backs.
The cost for materials was only about $70 and the outdoor fabric was twice that amount. As it is under a covered deck we just used 4" foam for the seats and 2" foam for the backrests, costing about $100. All Canadian Dollars.
This is my 3rd completed project. This has storage, individual hinges was used.
I am still on the sofa after 9 months could not decide if I wanted to make storage.
I built the cherry stained easy kitchen island for my own kitchen... After friends and family looked at it, my daughter' smother (of course my ex) asked if I could buiild her one... we love both of our "islands" even though we both have them along walls in our homes... I added a second shelf for extra storage but it's great for what I call a grocery drop off point... Very sturdy and they both compliment our kitchens... I don't have a picture of it in her home (both of these were in my home on different floors of the house) but she says it matches well with her oak cabinets... Hope you like them :)
My dad helped me build this. I wanted to make one out of crates similar to another post but we decided on plywood and my dad wanted to play with the portable saw he bought me. We customized it for my space and didn't use any plans. I think it turned out nicely though I may need another for all my other shoes!
Two of my grandsons built this cedar planter after I did the cutting of the wood. They did all the measuring and put it together very nicely!
I've used a few plans from Ana since I found her over the past year, but this is my first brag post! This plan helped to inspire me to make something similar! I used some free pallet boards instead of cedar fencing, and modified the plan by adding a solar powered fixture to it, so you can see the numbers in the evening as well. I attached it to my siding using vinyl siding hooks and D-rings, so I wouldn't have to drill into the side of my house as well because I I'm a happily lazy builder! Added fake flowers leftover from our wedding because I KNOW I'll forget to water real flowers if I put them in here haha.
I bought my first home in July, and have been looking for furniture to fill it with. Then I found this site, and decided I would build what I want. I plan on making the iTable as well, but for my first project, I thought about starting a little smaller. I also needed side tables for my couches more. So was born the iSideTable ;)
23 3/4" high
10 1/2" wide
22 1/2" deep
Materials used:
1 4x4x8
1 1x4x8
All told materials alone for this project is a miserly $23!!
I have just finished my first coat of Varathane Kona (it's what we have in Canada). I want it nice and dark so I am leaving it on to dry, then applying a second coat.
This is my first attempt to build anything since the age of 17 (school!). I have recently bought a house and tried my arm at installing skirting (base boards in the US I think?) and it piqued my interest. The family needed a table, so I built one..
Its not perfect, but I'm looking forward to many family meals with our young family :)

Great job! ... it looks great. I know you are not in US, but did you just use the cheap pine? I made a farmhouse bed with it this past fall and I have had problems with it shrinking on me. I want to do this table, and I know that the kreg will keep it tight ... I just need to buy one. Good work!

Hi bclute... thanks for the comment and the compliment. As for your question about the type of pine, I’m so new at this I’m not sure really. I understand there are grades of timber, but I went to my local timber yard and got what they had. Construction grade I believe. The bed is my next project so it's interesting to hear about your project. I suppose letting the wood dry fully is an option, but that takes a lot of time. I used the Kreg HD, it was great and easy to use, although clamping it each time makes for a slower job than the standard jig. Thanks again A
I've built tables from this plan several times. This one was a little different in terms of the colour wanted. I also beefed up the support in the table frame itself.
We LOVE this Rustic X Console table! We used a Kona stain and we took the iron hardware and rusted it up with heat, vinegar, salt and hydrogen peroxide.
This was for my 5 year old son and it was much easier than we thought it would be! We didn't have a nailer when we did this and wish we had one! Get a nailer for this project!
Our fireplace only had a granite surround and was lacking personality. The wall that our fireplace is built into is kind of a strange size and all of the mantle kits won't fit our fireplace. It wasn't until I ran across Ana's plans that I knew this was exactly what I wanted around our fireplace! We adapted the plans a little bit, and created a ladder up the sides of the fireplace to attach the front plate onto. I couldn't be more thrilled with how it turned out

Hi from Pittsburgh! I’ve always wanted to make stuff from your site, and I finally did it — I made Ana’s favorite Adirondack chairs and man, are they comfortable! I made them out of cedar 2x4s and cedar shelving pieces for the slats. Very comfy and I hope they last a long time. Awesome instructions, Ana— I’ve directed my neighbor to your site bc he wanted to make some, too!
