Simple Rolling Bar Cart
My very first build!! Thanks for the easy plans.
My very first build!! Thanks for the easy plans.
I may have spoiled my Grand-daughter a bit too much and her room was really full of stuff. I decided that I should just go ahead and spoil her a little more by building her a new bed for her birthday. I used the Camp Loft Bed plan but did modify it to fit her full size mattress and raised the height just a bit to make sure that her doll house would fit underneath. I am so happy with how it turned out! I love that I can fit her toy bins underneath the stairs where they are out of the way and how much more room she has to actually play. I used some really fat yarn and crocheted the little stair runners so it is nice and soft on her feet going up and down the stairs. This project did take longer then some of the others that I have done but I do also work a full time job. I had the bed actually built and put together in a weekend but then took it all apart for staining and finishing which took a long time. There were a lot of pieces to stain with multiple sides and coats to get the coverage I wanted so it would match her other furniture. I also did 3 coats of topcoat on each piece. Looking back if I had to do this over again I would have used 4x4's for the legs/bed posts. She is only 6 right now but as she gets older I will probably switch those so that it is a little more sturdy as she gets bigger.
I made the bulk of this bed from 2 sheets of OSB to make it cheaper. The headboard is from salvaged pallets and scrap studs from a construction site. Baskets or drawers forthcoming. Easy plans to follow.
Thank you for the great plans. It was an easy project thanks to the easy to follow directions. I am getting a lot of compliments on them.
Single door slider. Made the hardware from standard 1 1/4 flat metal and rollers from a couple pulleys. Top is rough cut white pine that had some great saw marks and knots for character. Back is ship lap from an old barn.
I loved this plan from the minute I saw the post. We got the kids and their friends involved in this build. I love having a outdoor table that is large enough to have everyone around.
Easy to build. Just used 1x4's and 1x3's.

Awesome looking project! And well done. Do you happen to have any plans for it? I'd like to have one at my house.

Wow, this is plain awesome. Do you have detailed plans on did you make one. Am planning to make a cabinet which fits this dart board - Winmau Blade 5? Will it fit inside it?
Beautiful table
This is my 2nd table built from plans on the site. I built the pocket hole farm table originally and our family used it for 2 years and then I sold it to another family to enjoy! I built this one a full foot longer and used a 2×10 in the center to widen it. We host large gatherings so I wanted the additional space. The dark walnut came out beautiful if darker than the plan table. We love it!

Thank you for sharing, it looks like a wonderful gathering place!
Just bought a vacation home and need to furnish the place. Started with the size Farmhouse bed with side tables. Used Behr paint from Home Depot called Cotton Whisper sanded edges and used a dark walnut stain to antique. Finished it off with 2 heavy coats of poly.

Did you use a metal bed frame or did you make the side rails and frame? i am curious how high my mattress will sit above the footboard because I want to make the side rails and use slats. I have a boxspring that I will be using. I dont want my mattress to tower over my footboard. did you adjust the length of the 4x4s on your footboard?
Modified the potting bench plan to make an outdoor bar.
Used your plans and modified with carriage bolts on the legs to attach the box to the frame. Thank you Ana, my son LOVES IT.

Thanks for sharing, that turned out totally awesome!
My two daughters really enjoyed helping daddy make these birdhouses but most of the loved painting them.
This table was a cinch to put together and only took a couple of hours
This playhouse was built by my 4 year old son and I. We used the general plans and even added the drop down desk. Most of it was built using my miter saw stand, another great idea by Ana White!
We wanted a round bar height dining table for our kitchen area and no one really had that. I used Ana’s wonderful plans and lengthened them with some additional support for the X-Base. My first project of this type and Ana’s site is a god send. Happy to share specifics if interested
This cart was smaller then I expected but makes a great little addition to my office
This was my very first project... I went with antiquing the table, thanks to my Golden Retriever. (Even though he's a hundred times better than his puppy stages, if he chews, it won't show easily.)
The wood sizes are slightly off, but hey - this is what you do with free wood! Still worked perfectly!
I came up with the idea of having something on my back porch to hold all my outdoor stuff.... things I wanted handy, like Pool Towels, Gardening tools and gloves, Sunscreen and Bug Spray. I started looking around for something to buy and finally decided to look for something to build. I was looking on the HGTV website when I found this and thought it was perfect. I'm not sure what exactly made me take it one-step further, but I found a small link embedded in the article and I clicked on it, and a love affair was born. I found the Ana-White website with tons and tons and tons of plans to make all the things I've dreamed about making. So, I signed up, printed the plans and got to work. First time I have built from plans and had to work slowly and not rush to complete it the same day. Snuck away in the evening, after dinner and cleanup, and spent about an hour a night in the garage with the heat and the mosquitos. BTW, tucking dryer sheets in your clothing does really keep the critters at bay. And here is the finished product .... doing exactly what I had planned and fitting perfectly in the location I wanted. On to the next project..... I have several printed out and haven't decided which to start on..... Is it the toy box for my son's toys that scatter around the living room.... or the queen-sized Farmhouse bed for my daughter who has been begging for more sleep room. Or the bookshelves for my room..... So may choices.... and I love that about this webiste.
I took the original plans from the Farmhouse Table - Updated Pocket Hole Plans - and I modified it so that my table could be countertop height and join up to my counter - like a modified breakfast bar, so this table it countertop high, and is also more narrow and alittle longer. I can easily pull it away from the wall and sit 6 people around it. It is now my favorite place in the house!
