These were a blast to make. Cant wait till my next project.
Well...this was pretty much all done by me.
I am really not liking how many bad boards there are at the store. It takes forever to find a decent board. I had some of my x12s measuring closer to 11 (yes I know they aren't 12 inches).
The door is a little wonky but if it bothers me too much I will just replace it with a curtain on a tension rod.
I love the yellow and I am very proud of myself :)
I didn't have a Kreg jig (too expensive for us right now) but it would definitely have been helpful...

I run into that problem as well!!! And with two kiddos at my hip it gets more annoying to sift thru 5 boards before a good one comes up. But it's all worth it. I made this as well and and the magnetic closure made all the difference. This is really nice by the way. The color is fab!
My kitchen needed a rustic pot rack to hang all my pots and pans. Instead of paying way too much money, I decided to get exactly what I wanted by making it myself. $20 worth of 2x6's and spray painted hardware purchased at The Home Depot in an oil bronzed was all that was needed to create this rack. I attached the hardware with metal screws to give it an even more rustic feel.
My husband loves to set outside and look out over our 10 acres with his coffee in the mornings. I thought this chair would be a great birthday gift to use for that purpose! It was fairly easy to put together. I just have to purchase some cushions and it'll be ready to give to him. I did modify a few things...used some 2x4s, changed up the back boards a bit and put some angle cuts on the arms. I'm very pleased with it! This is the third or fourth project we've made from Ana's plans. We just love them!
Thanks to Ana White for the free plans

Wow! You have been quite busy. Great job on all your accomplishments!
My wife is a crafter, and her room is chockful of material for projects planned and projects waiting to be inspired. Our house is not a large house, and I had this desire to give her some organization. She already had a cubby bookshelf similar to this one, but that was store bought. I have only recently begun building things in my retirement, and I wanted to give her something that was me. It turned out nice, if a little wobbly, but I fixed that with a couple diagonal cross pieces across the back. It fit the space we had perfectly. The important thing is she loves it, and has (obviously) filled it up nicely.
This was my first Ana White project! I didn't do the x's on the ends, obviously, and it's both taller and wider than the plans in order to fill up the giant space along our back wall. I notice the glue blobs that didn't stain, and the decorative hardware was trickier than I expected, but it was fun to build... and totally functional :)
Initially made this to display Christmas cards in.
Made from 1 by 4 No. 2 Whitewood. Was stained with Rustoleum Driftwood and then painted with some left over paint I found in garage. I then sanded it back a bit to show the grain and stain through.
The nails are 1 inch Clavos nails from a website called www.Directfrommexico.com
Measures about 30 by 25 inches on outsides.
This is from your plans for your favorite chaise lounge chairs only I beat them up 2 x 6 Bass four by four legs and 5 quarter tops also change the tops so they're all the same directions this made it a lot sturdier for heavier folks of course my dog Dozer thanks I made them just for him thanks for the great plans
I have made many of these ledges and I just love them so much! I love that I can build them to any length or depth I want. I like to use them for more then just pictures. I feel like there will be many more of these in my future!
A buddy of mine brews his own beer (great beer btw) and mentioned that he was looking for some tap handles that he could write on to identify what brews he had on tap. I decided to help him out...

This is a very cute doll crib--love the curved ends above the slats. I have made six of these, each one a little different, and this design is perfect for the next one--hee hee. Would you mind sharing the dimensions; are they the same as the Olivia doll crib? Thanks!

Oops!! the plan i used was http://ana-white.com/2010/11/olivias-doll-crib.html …
I used those direction .. just modified the end to be slats like the sides then made a curved line that appealed to me … sorry for the mistake!
I did make the farmhouse bed too for another grand-girl!
I was just thinking I would be making more of these .. glad to hear i'm not the only one!
I needed a good sturdy bunk bed for my boys and I didn't want to spend a bunch of money. Every bunk bed I looked at seemed to wobble and cost a fortune so I ventured off to make my own! I came across the Side Street Bunk plans and did a little modifiying to make them work with the mattresses we had. I absolutley LOVE the way they turned out and my boys are so excited to finally have their bunk beds! Thanks Ana!
I've been doing only little projects here and there, so when I got an order for a bench, I was a little apprehensive, but of course I said YES! I immediately started scouring the web for ideas on how to, and what the cost would be to build. I came across Ana White's modern bench design and knew this was the one. I priced out all the materials and gave my customer a quote which she, without hesitation, accepted. The next day, I took a trip to the local lumber yard and purchased all I needed. Now, here's where I messed up a bit. Like I said, I priced everything out before purchasing. Well, I priced out the wrong 1x6s which threw me almost $35 over my original budget. Womp womp, right? I still made a little profit. But this bench cost me $100 to build. The customer ordered this bench for her garden and wanted it to be stained rather than painted. So, the wood, the decking screws, waterseal, and the outdoor waterproof stain and sealer was my purchase for the build. Totally worth it! The bench turned out great! I am delivering it to her in a couple of hours from now and I cannot wait for her to see it. I think it turned out beautiful especially for my first! Thank you, Ana, for making the design so easy to follow!
Basically, I was on the hunt for a bakers rack, but jumped on the site and saw this. I modified it a bit. Turned out cool with the decor.
I had peformed internet searches on Pet Crates and decided to build my own. This one has a touch sensor small 1 watt light inside so I dont have to keep other house lights on when I am at work. The light has no heat and purchased at Rockler hardware. Shiloh's crib is on wheels and the only thing I screwed up is the width. I could not get it thru the garage door from the house. Had to take it thru the front door and had to take the door off the hinges. Either way I should not ever have to build another one. It has a kitchen cabinet black laminate on top purchase from a damaged piece at home Depot. Half the cost. Should be durable enough for my kids Printer, radio and Cable box. Doors have two hinges per door so they can fold back out of the way.
