Love your easy instructions! I used all 2x4's because it was made with left over wood from another project. I burned the top pieces to get the grain to stand out and painted the legs. I think they turned out beautiful. I also used your 2x4 Adirondack Chair Plan to match the bench.
Thanks,

My daughter helped me build this enclosure. We used Ana's chicken run plan, but just made it taller so we could walk in easily. We added an overhang to store food and pellets under, for the supports we used Ana's easy shelves angle support plan, and finally we used the playhouse base plan for the base of turkeys house. All plans used are linked below. We ran the chicken wire out under the structure and still need to bring in some large rocks or pavers, but so far no issues with predators. Turkey was getting too big to fit in the smaller coop, so we decided to have fun with his house and used cedar fence pickets and some treated 2x4's, built a box and jig sawed the shape of a turkey. As you can see in the first photo the ladder for turkey wasn't big enough, all the other chickens were in his house, lol. So I beefed up the ladder and he happily can put himself up at night now:) Overall a super successful project, I wasn't sure what to do with the top and just at that point, the neighbor walked over and offered the metal, talk about a huge win and the perfect solution! We attached the run to the previous smaller structure and now they have so much more room and are laying like crazy:) Finally, I think this would make a great dog kennel as well...

A friend wanted a tatty old chest freezer turning into a traditional looking ice cream cart for her business. The freezer itself was way to heavy and not really fit for purpose but, after a week of tinkering about with a couple of design changes here and there to accommodate the weight, I don't think I've done too bad a job.

The internal frame is Nordic fir, half lapped at the joints and secured in place with 38mm oak dowels, the cladding is 6mm birch ply finished with paint from the French chic Al fresco range, the writing proved a little challenging on the the eyes and my hands aren't as steady as they used to be but she's happy.

I built the shed during the summer of 2018, following Ana's plans but with the addition of a green roof. After almost a year the vegetation -- a variety of native plants from the upper Midwest -- has started to fill in pretty well. My carpentry skills are rudimentary so the project took a long time but was worth the effort.

Built a full size loft bed for my kids but wanted something safer than having them climb up and down a ladder so used the Camp Loft Bed plans to add the platform and stairs. It is much easier for the kids. Going to finish by covering the platform and stairs with carpet.

This project started with the need of a cat scratcher and evolved to this! :D

Buying one was out of the question cause they are too small and too expensive.

Even the dog loves it!

I dont have any plans because it was made to fit that specific wall and its pretty basic but if you have any question about it I will gladly answer. 

I followed the plans for the wood storage rack pretty closely. The shelf brackets made from 2x4's are quite sturdy. The entire rack is easy to move around on the 4 inch casters. This project took about 4 days to build and was well worth the time and money. All my wood is in one place now- sheets, long boards and short boards. Everything is easy to find and my shop is a lot neater, now.
