Rolling grill cart table
I made the countertop with 2 plywood boards screwed together and topped the stainless steel with heavy duty adhesive. I adjusted the plans a little to accommodate my space. Thanks for the plans! It was a fun build!

I changed plan to make deeper. I also modified the bottom trim and top. I put a ball bearing soft door drawer guide on modern door so it can slide back and forth. I feel we need more modern plans on here but with a bit of creativity and using plans you can make anything. I have never built anything before. I love General Finishes Milk Paint in Snow White and I brushed rolled it on (sanded between 3 coats). It’s basically self leveling and leaves a nice matte finish. Used door glide in picture bought from homedepot in the 24 inch and that’s how wide door was and it was 36” tall. Door glide I only used one on top of the door not on bottom as well. Door piece of fiberboard with just strips glued on and quarters spacing them correct.
I made the boxes from plans, but added bench and trellis from my own design.
We built the first one about 8 years ago, and then the wind flipped it over and scattered it all over the back part of the property. I then dug footings and anchored the second one down; I was able to save the Dutch Door I made for the first one. Thanks for the plans!!!

That's not going anywhere! Thanks for sharing, it looks amazing!
My husband and I live on a small hobby farm and are growing/raising a lot of our own food. We decided to venture into working with chickens. We wanted to start out small so we got 6 chickens and needed a home for them. We found a kids play house one day while shopping and got the idea of modifying it into a chicken coop with a run. We took off with this idea and with quite a bit of modification and some extra building materials we were able to raise it up in the air and attach a run so our chickens would have a nice home to protect them from preditors and the emements and not to mention one that looks good in our yard!

Building chicken coop doesn't have to be expensive. Just get the easy-to-follow plan from this:

Looks awesome! I just spent the evening building a coop for 4 hens of my own!

Are the plans available? I have Black Copper Marans and Lavender Ameraucanas and I really need to separate the LAs from the BCMs and this would be perfect!
Sun, 02/26/2012 - 18:00
When I click the link to get the plans for the standard coop, they are not there. Do you know where I can find the original plans? Thanks.
Tue, 02/28/2012 - 10:20
Yes - would love the plans please!!!
It's gorgeous - great job!

Sorry guys there are no plans for this coop. My husband and i just "winged it" and built it without any plans.
It is a play house that we found at Mills Fleet Farm and we modified it to make it a chicken coop. We put together the play house based on instructions from the box (with a few of our own modifications to make the window on the ground etc.) added some chicken wire to the doors and bay window, added some 4x4 "stilts" and a floor to get the house in the air, and constructed a frame around it with 2x4's and wire fencing to make the run
Sorry I dont have any plans to give you guys!
I've finished my swing but my porch don't have enough clearance so I built A frame stand for it.

You did such a great job on your swing! I hope I can build up to making one someday.

Thanks and you will. I just added the dimensions in case
Fri, 04/19/2013 - 15:37
I love the idea of adding the A-frame considering that where i live there are no real trees to hang it on and building a porch where one doesn't already exist is a pain in the butt! Lol. How wide do you think we could go before it starts compromising the frames integrity? And how much weight can it hold?
I modified this chair with 2x4's as the base and 2x2 for decoration on arms, this is prior to sanding and finishing
This rolling bar was inspired by Ana White's plan. It is used as a bar and conceals an electric smoker and a grill. I added handles for moving and some hooks on the sides. I stained the salvaged 2 X 6 's and brushed on clear oil based poly on the new Cedar fence boards.

A variation on your barn style greenhouse. I included a cooling fan with intake louvers, temperature controlled heater and grow lights. Also used anchor bolts embedded in concrete footer.

Ana doesn’t have a plan for a catio but she does for a playhouse and a cedar shed made from 2x2’s. I sort of combined my knowledge from making her plans over the last 10 years and came up with this for my cats. It was fun to make!! My baby kitten is loving it. I used garden fencing and stapled it to the outside and pocket holes for the walls. I made each wall individually like the playhouse then connected them once in place.

Thank you for sharing! My daughter wants a cat for her birthday but it can't be inside due to our son's allergies. Roaming outside isn't really an option because we have coyotes. We are going to use one of these in combination with an underground electric fence.
The base of our playhouse felt like the perfect spot to use the sandbox plan with built-in seats. The bench seats actually fold flat to create a lid for the sandbox when it’s not in use. I followed Ana’s plans exactly and used the list of materials she provided. The only modification I made was eliminating the back supports. It was not necessary for me to add the back supports since we have the playhouse posts to support the back of the bench.
Great plans - thanks so much! Started with two chairs, and kept going...
MODS: Once built, we felt there wasn't enough back support, so added a 2x4 then 4x4 on top. Also added a 2x2 in back of the seat bed, so our 25" x 25" seat cushions didn't float around.
Recommend paint gun vs. painting by hand.
This was a great summer project. The table looks great and it was any easy build. Doesn’t get any better than this. I added a hole in the center of the table for my umbrella and used the longer screws for more frame stability.
I built this outhouse to go with a dry cabin I'm working on, and also as an emergency backup for my house. I used treated lumber on the base/deck and splurged on T-111 for the siding. I wanted to use greenhouse polycarbonate for the roof, but found a piece of metal roofing in my shed that was exactly the right size so I used that instead. I thought about doing a fancy cutout on the door but ended up going with a half moon because it was easy. I'm thinking about cutting out stars of different sizes all over the rest of the door to let in more light. I'll trim and stain it next summer.
I recently published my first foldable farmhouse table last week here: http://ana-white.com/2013/06/foldable-farmhouse-table The first one I made was very heavy because I used 2x6 tops and 4x4 legs. I decided to make another one that would be lighter and easier to transport. The plans are basically the same just instead I used 1x6 for the top and put 2x4s together for the legs. I also shorted the length by about a foot. The only issue with making the table shorter length is that the legs don't fold completely flush. You could easily make the legs short enough to fold flush, but then the table was a little too short from the ground up for us. The same as before I simply used kreg joints to join the top boards together. I then made a 2x4 frame and attached it to the bottom. I made each of the legs separately by joining 2x4s together and sanding everything down. Everything was stained before putting the legs on using Miniwax Dark walnut stain. I used 2 coats of Miniwax water based clear coat to seal it. A notch was cut out on each of the bottom 2x4 supports on the legs and I glued in a small piece of wood cut to size. These are so I can put in a 2x4 support board under the table so that the legs do not fold in on themselves when it is standing up. The legs are just attached using door hinges you can buy in packs in the hardware section. Be careful when screwing into the 1x6 top not to use too long of screws or else you will over screw and have them come through into your table top.

We have built something very similar and we have a good bit of wobble at the top, even though the stretcher down the center of the table is holding solid in there and secred with clasps. Were thinking of some sort of sliding pin into the top of the leg to the apron. Anyone run into this before?
My wife wanted a coffee bar and I wanted a fridge for wine and beer. So we compromised on this.

Pretty much everything you ned in one place! Thank you for sharing, amazing build! Sharing to social media, please email [email protected] if you'd like us to tag you!
I built this L shape desk based on Ana White's rustic X desk plan. I would not have attempted this without her guidance. Love how this turned out, probably the nicest project I've ever done. Thanks Ana!
Tue, 05/26/2020 - 09:34
This is awesome! My son and I are looking to build an L shaped desk for him and this looks to be the one. Any thoughts on how I would mount a computer tray beneath? Think there is enough clearance below the 2x4 without hitting knees?
Thanks!
I looked all around my town for a sofa that meet my needs. I wanted something with tall legs, modern lines and fit my living room. I did not have $3,000 to buy one online so I said to myself why not???

You are my hero ! Your modern diy sectional is amazing, love the blue fabric! Thank you so much for sharing! Ana
Mon, 08/03/2015 - 14:52
I've been looking for plans for a big sectional this would be perfect!
I used Ana's plan as a base.
I changed it from 8x8 to 8x12, made the 4x4x8's to 4x4x10' for a higher main platform and swing platform, and added a 12' long monkey bar set to the other side. Also, an 8' climbing wall and a plank walkway to accompany the two slides.
For the clubhouse, I used Hardiplank 4x8 sheets for the siding and an EZ-Framer kit for the structure itself.
The slides I purchased from Lowes, monkey bars from Amazon, and the swing frame braces from Amazon as well. The swing kits I got from ebay.
This sandbox has been around for some time BUT it is still a great project to build The plans were simple to follow and would be an excellent project for beginners. We built this for our grandson and future grandbaby. Was easy to complete in one day, including painting

It makes me happy, every time I see someone build this sand box. LOVE the color you chose! Great job!
My son had a 'lightning Mcqueen' toddler bed- but we needed to get him into a little bigger bed. We had a spare full bed, and Batman is his current favorite... Since there aren't Batman full race car beds- time to start planning and building from sketchup! Took me about 2 weeks of evenings (after the kids go to bed) and about $110 in materials. The model is available in the sketchup warehouse at:
https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model.html?id=u6b750a53-37a4-4d52-9d31…
For the wheel covers I ordered online at Amazon for $25 for a set of 4.
For the Wheels both HD and Menards make a 18" wood table top for ~$7 that I just cut the middle out with my router to fit the wheel covers.
The slats to hold the bed (made to fit both box spring and mattress) were just 1x4 pine boards from menards.
The body was made from 3/4 MDF, though you could of course use plywood.
I used a projector to project the image from sketchup onto the board to get it transferred- else it would have been 50+ pages if printing..
For the logos I just used a minila folder as my stencil and cut out the logo. Needed to touch up the 'tabs' to hold the logo in the circle after pulling off the stencil.

I give you credit when people ask how I got started in woodworking because until I found your site and my first project (library cart) then 2 helper stands for my kids and other friends kids and it just went on from there. The skils taken from this site and learning Sketchup have brought a lot of nice furniture to our home as well as a sense of confidence to me!! Thank you!
Sat, 09/12/2015 - 19:10
My son really wants this and I promised him that I would make it. Do you have a PDF or anything of the outline of the batmobile? Thanks!

Thanks - sorry I took so long to respond. The plans are in the sketch up warehouse - search for "Batmobile full race car bed" otherwise et me know and I can try to get you a off of the dimensions.
In reply to Thanks- will skp file work? by bbcarey
Sat, 01/30/2016 - 10:59
Here is the screen shot as well.
I used a 49x97 sheet of MDF... thush the 4'1"x8'1" dimensions.
Sun, 02/21/2016 - 14:29
Thank you so much for the greatest idea ever! We stumbled on this and believe it will be the perfect next bed for our son, however, we cannot download any of the files. Do you have a PDF of the measurements or any other form you can upload so we can make this bed? Thanks in advance! Great work!
Tue, 12/06/2016 - 07:23
I apologize if I am just missing this, but... do you have step by step instructions on building this bed? I see the pictures of each part and its corresponding dimensions, but I cannot located instructions on assembling the bed.
Thanks!
