I took the Grandy Sliding Door Console plans and added another middle section to make the entire plan fit the nook in my man cave. I manipulated the plans to have openings without shelves to fit a mini fridge and an area for blankets (currently in the wash). Total length is 12 ft and height is 37.5 inches high (36 inches + the top). I tried to stain it to match another table in the room and it worked out pretty well.

One of the kitchen accessories is
a bottle rack. There are many kinds of bottle
rack depending on the type of bottle (oil or whiskey) and the use of it
(sliding, stable under the sink, in a single cabinet roundtrips etc).

The demands of my own
construction is on bottle rack wagon (ie kitchen pulled out of context), will
find below and next to the sink that will use the entire height of the cabinet
and will have bottles of oil that can be dirty and will therefore be wash.Finally it is two storey with
the second shelf can be moved in height. The dimensions are length 53,2 cm width 25cm and
height 50cm. The materials we use are white
melamine 16mm aluminum angle, aluminum tubes and aluminum sheets to dress
racks.

Melamine White 16mm: 4pcs x

Aluminum angles (15mmx15mm):

I built this console table for my son's room, and added a matching hutch for additional storage and display. It's a versatile piece of furniture. He uses it for games, books and collectibles, but it would be great for a tv and game system too. Thanks for the plans!

This is our first real furniture project. We wanted a large enough table to be able to sit 10 people comfortably around without the table legs getting in the way of the people on the corners. We are really happy with the way this turned out. Each leg was joined with a double floating mortise & tennon. The overall dimensions are 47" wide by 80" long by 31.5" tall.

For a while I’ve been wanting to build a bed. I had two days free this week so I began. I actually completed it in about 6 hours. First time doing this size project. Plans were SO easy to follow. Thank you Ana
I LOVE IT! And am motivated to do more.

Modified the salsa console by taking the drawer off and stealing some from Patrickhosey's (bragpost). I built it for my dining room. Measures 57-1/2" long X 17" depth X 39" tall.

Farmhouse / cottage style bed based on your plans.

This replaced a huge formica countertop in our laundry room. The counter collected unfolded clothes on the top, and piles of shoes underneath. Also, we had a 4 hook shelf from Target holding all 3 of our kids bags and backpacks. My husband was against this, because "where would we put all the laundry?" Well, this is the solution and we both love it!

I measured this out and drew diagrams and then finally decided this was too big of a project to do for the first time. I did hire someone, but he said the measurements were right on.....he had never built something like this before. The outside of the door is painted with magnetic primer and holds magnets. So much more functional that the counter.

I know I didn't build this myself. I think I could have done it, if I could have a week to do this without interruption, but that was impossible and I needed this YESTERDAY (the 4 hook wall shelf fell out of the wall). But I wanted to share in case anyone else is having a space dilemma! We LOVE it!!!!

This was a great project. I had some trouble with getting the X's perfectly connected (due to off square boards) and had to use some wood filler here and there. Beyond that, everything came together really well. The longest part was getting the finish just right.

I work for a large manufacturing company that frequently has 'desirable trash'. Found 3 beautiful, heavy-duty pallets with beautiful wood on them. Took them home, took them apart, and got to work. The wife had been wanting a swing out near our children's playset so she could sit and watch them. Used Kreg pocket holes for everything that I could so as to hide as much hardware as possible.

*Side note regarding why I did the rope the way I did - the original post had mentions of it being a bit tipsy (particularly with little ones!). With this design, there's no flip front or back and the rope only gets tighter the more weight that is applied.

I love my cat, and felt she needed a pretty feeding dish. I stole some old spindles from my sister's garage, cut them down and threw this plan together. It was actually harder than I expected because getting into tight little spaces with my drill to drill in the pocket holes was almost imposible. The wood split, nothing is square and the holes for the dishes are messy...but it doesn't really matter, it looks good from a distance and my cat doesn't judge. Not that I know of, anyway.

- made directly from the plans
- decorative hardware was spray painted "flat black"
- there are decorative bolts in the legs, they were installed after these pictures were taken.

I am so ridiculously proud of myself... This was my first wood building project and now I think I'm addicted !!!! Next project a bookshelf!!

Childs table and 2 chairs.

My first brag post ...Fun to make

I wanted our bird's cage up higher and on something that the kids wouldn't be able to tip over. So my Husband came up with this. Its car siding. and stained. it has 2 hinged doors and a shelf.

Loved doing this build, I have been thinking of making these for a while.

Based off of a few of the comments I read, I modified the plans a little bit. Instead of using three 2 x 6s for the benches, I used two 2x4s with one 2 x 6 in the centre. Shortened up the bench support length by 3" to make up for the difference. This allowed for a smaller seat, which is easier to get in and out of when in table mode, but still plenty to sit on when used as a bench.

I am trying to come up with an alternate system for pinning the table in each position. I have found that after only a few uses, the table has some wiggle in the top, most likely from the bolts going in and out repeatedly. I would love some ideas on how to get these to hold nice and snug when in each position!

I posted a few pictures of these on my Facebook page, where I now have been asked how much I am selling them for and have about 3 orders already placed! Looks like the spring will be busier than expected!
