We needed a coat rack in the mud room to go along with the X Bench that I built earlier. This was made from a drop of wood left over from the bench. I had the hooks left over from a project I made a couple of years ago. My wife says our mud room is now complete. I used the plans Entryway Bench and Storage Shelf I just didn't use the shelf part

I have been waiting a long time to have this amazing piece of storage. The size is what was intimidating to me but it was easy to build. This project is perfect for a beginner . Make sure you have an extra set of hands due to the size otherwise this was easy and straight forward to build. I love the storage it offers to keep my Minnesota winter gear organized. The kids have a place for all of their snow pants, boots, coats etc.

This was a cool project to make 

I had saw this online but was very. Expensive to buy some one afternoon I decided to built one my neighbor had a ton of Mason jars so I got 8 from them and I started to put everything together and the end result came out nice I hope u guys like 

Thanks 

I followed the plans exactly, except I didn't put the trim pieces on the lower shelves sides. I really like the way it turned out, and my wife painted it with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, color "Paris Grey" and then used Annie Sloan finishing wax (both clear and dark wax) to protect the piece and age it. I think it turned out great! Thanks for the plans!

Nothing was to difficult with these plans, at least not if you have a Kreg Jig. I would add that I used pocket screws on the top pieces not only to join them to the breadboard end pieces, but also to each other. That made it really strong!

I made this shelf with reclaimed random wood but followed the original plans almost exactly. I used an extra large jar of peanut butters top for the front of the plane and the propeller was made for a random little piece of wood I just sanded down the edges to round them. The landing gear is from two corners of scrap wood and I bought the round pieces of wood for the wheels at michaels for about 10cents because I do not have a hole saw.

I made this planter out of some left over pallet wood that I had.  It was pretty quick.  It went together in about 2 hours.  I have the step by step plans on my blog.

Smaller firewood shed. So pleased with how it turned out.

This was one of the 1st woodworking projects I did on my own. I never tiled before so it was a challenge. Even bought myself a tile saw to do it. I could not be more happy with the way it turned out and I love having it in my living room.

I built 3 30" picture ledges for my daughters for all of their books. 

My daughter wanted a Farmhouse/Industrial look for a headboard, so I found a nice selection of hardwood pallets that had heat treated wood and put together this headboard & attached and wired a light set.

This was a very modified version of this plan. I mostly just dismantled two stools and built the top. The top is one solid plank of wood and two layers of 1x2's to create the frame. It goes perfectly with my Farmhouse table. I love the character of the wood top, its so unique. Enjoy!

This was the easiest and quickest build I've done yet. The more time consuming part for me was stapling down the curtains on the underside.

Here's my attempt at Ana's birdhouse plan.

I want to thank you for such great videos and plans!! They worked so well that now I will do the wall on the left side of the photo.

With a little one on the way, we just couldn't find a changing table that fit our space and wasn't too expensive. So, thanks to Ana's plans, I was able to put together a smaller changing table with a slide out shelf. In the future, I'd do a better job of measuring out the height of the middle sliding shelf...anyone over 5'5" will have to bend way over to slide it in/out. I switching the 1x4s from the top to the middle shelf and made sure to measure my changing pad before starting (after reading the comments on Ana's original design). My local lumber store cut my 3/4" ply to size for free, so if you can go in with dimensions already planned out, it'll save tons of time and headache driving with 4'x6' ply floppin' around.

I built this for a friend's daughter who collects the Tractor Supply farm animals. This is the first time I have cut on angles to make the roof. The directions say built it from bottom to top but I found it easier to start for the top and work down. Then attach the whole roof where it marched on the barn... Hope this helps. I did not finish it cause the friend wanted to stain it herself...

I stumbled across Ana White one day 3 years ago when I was 18 and about to go off to college. My parents weren't home for the weekend, I was bored, and decided a twin bed at my rental just wasn't going to cut it but I was an 18 year old who had champagne taste on a beer budget. I had been helping my dad ever since I was little with wood work all around the house but furniture was something we had never tackled and the idea of building a bed was a little daunting. However, these plans were super easy to follow and I must say, the finished product is absolutely beautiful. After 3 years and many more projects, this bed is still my favorite. 

Needless to say my mom asked me for a few years to bring it back to go in my old bedroom at their house - so now I get to build another one!

Here are a couple my Grandson and I built with pressure treated lumber with PVC handles and Azek seats. Grand kids love them!
