Kitchen pantry… top is 2x4’s ripped & glued glued .

This is the second project I have made from this website, which I LOVE! I needed some sort of table to use with a large sectional sofa because I refused to give up my huge ottoman for a coffee table! This is perfect. I loved the brag post with the shelf added so I used that idea also.

When it came to decoration, I used some apple barrel craft paint and found some scrapbook paper I really liked. This was my first use of modge podge so it was not as flawless as I hoped but I still think it turned out well. And best of all it will be used often!

FYI - by saving money on the particleboard shelf, I ended up spending a lot of time applying wood filler.

I decided I had to have a farm table, but could not pay the store bought prices. SO I spent weeks poring over plans trying to figure out which one to make.
We picked this plan because I felt like as a beginning it would be hard to make the legs. I REALLY wanted to get the husky legs found in the plan but they were a little pricey, so I just got the same height legs at lowes.
I am SO happy with my table. For anyone feeling daunted by pocket holes and a kreg jig: get a kreg jig mini. I couldn't afford the regular kreg jig but the mini was only 20 bucks or less.
Happy building!

This was my first project and took about two weeks to complete from start to finish. I used an oil based walnut stain and five coats of an oil based semi-gloss polyurethane to finish, sanding in between coats. Be sure to wear a mask and eye protection.....holy sawdust!

Built using pallet wood for the top.

Directly from plan. Fun to make. Kreg and glue attachements.

These are pretty easy to make, the hardest part is cutting off the extra length on the knobs, but make great presents!

Easy to build 2-3 hours. Weather proofed because did not want grey cedar in a few years. Liked the color of weather proofing but color continued to leak off. Polyed and sanding eventually stopped the leaking if colors. Scored pottery barn cushions 50% in the winter + 15% new email customer. Still $150... bought some pillows from pottery barn on sale for another $60. All in all looks awesome! VERY easy build. The rest ($$) is what hurts... Test any weatherproof in you use first before using.

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

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 

Spruced up guest room by replacing full size bed with Ana's design for a queen size headboard and frame. Love the result! Thanks Anna

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.

Love this stain and how it makes the grain stand 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.
