Farm table, with bench
I started with the no pocket hole plans. I then shortened them to fit my kitchen, and modified them to use the pocket holes.

We have quite a fixer upper and while re-doing the bathroom, I came across Ana's Island plan in her book, The Handbuilt Home. This isn't the finished picture as we have installed the sink fixture and pipes, where I wrapped the exposed pipes with twine to give it a more rustic look. The table was modified in size and the mirror was a salvaged piece where I made a backer and framed it. Though still in need of some finishing touches, the look so far is spectacular... I wish I had a before and after photo. Much of what you can see, such as the tile in the shower and mirror has been made from found materials around the house or were items that were going to be sent to the dump. I love recycling!

Shortened the design to fit the spot and used a slab of white oak I had laying around.

I love the live edge piece you added for the top. It brings the perfect rustic element! :)
Just finished my very first wood project ever . I think it turns out pretty good . But if I did it again I’d make some adjustments . This version is made from pine as cedar has been unavailable for weeks . Thank you for the plans
This was a quick, easy project. I needed a way for the dogs to easily get on the bed and I also needed a place to store their toys. This was a great solution to both problems. I made it a few inches loger and added carpet to make it easier for them to use. I also cut arches out of the bottom back to give them easy access to their toys.
Great buffet for any dining room. Made with pocket hole joints. Built by mgwood_work on instagram
Made the farmhouse hall tree from the plans on the site. I added wallpaper in front of the panels and it looks wonderful!
I used the plans for Ana's $35 Wood Chaise Lounge plans, but changed the frame to the 2x6 boards to match a loveseat & two chairs that I've previously built. My husband helped me with the notches, but now I think I can do them on my own. The chairs are so comfortable, even without cushions.

How did you get the stop block to fit using the updated 2x6 plans?
I used 4x4 post for the base.

This is really pretty! I love the way that you staged it too!

I'd also like to build this table using 4x4's. Can you tell me how you came up with the lengths for the diagonal pieces? Also, how did you attach the perpendicular end pieces to the top? I've been looking to do that as well and on all the plans I've seen they used pocket holes and I know that will not last before the end pieces begin to sag.
Thank you!

Did you ever find the measurements and details? I'm interested in making the same table!
I took the base plans from your Rustic X end tables and added a little more detail on the sides and experimented with the stain combination. I stained the entire table in Golden Oak and for the based I stressed in an Ebony to give it a slightly burnt look in the base. Turned out really well.
I wanted some Cornhole Boards and I wanted to make them myself. I used some vinyl stickers (distressed American flags) that I got on Amazon! I also bought the Cornhole Bag set on Amazon as well! I added some carrying handles from hardware At Home Depot. I found the link here on Ana's website! I love them!
This is my very first project, and is from The Handbuilt Home. I had an old dresser mirror that I just couldn't throw away, and now I'm glad I didn't! It fit the frame perfectly. This project only took a few hours, and the plans were so easy to follow. Just have to get the hooks and she's done! Thanks Ana!

My wife had decided we need to do something special for our great niece's. .Oh that I should. Lol..It was a great experience, and I would do it again. .

These are darling! What lucky girls your nieces are! Awesome job!
Was a fun build. Took 3 days. Ana your awesome.
The Francis dining table by Arhaus was out of my budget, but with the table top plan by Ana White and the table base plan by Jen Woodhouse, I was able to create my own copycat version of the Francis table. It took me some time to figure out the stain order and combination, but I couldn't be happier with the vintage farmhouse stain I achieved with just a few layers and some wax. The table is light enough to carry upstairs, but it's also incredibly stable and solid.
I'm a mother of three kids, so it took me a while to finish, but I also did some additional work on it so I would be able to stain rather than paint it. I used a countersink drill bit to put in a bit of a hole that I filled with wood by using a plug cutter so that it would match more. I also used epoxy in the knot so my son's baby toes wouldn't get hurt. That's it. I love it!

I need to add this project to my todo list. My little one can't walk just yet, but it's coming soon. This will be a cool piece of furniture to have when the time comes. Great job on the build! :)
I followed this plan exactly and it fit in my Grand-Daughters room perfectly. She has a lot of toys and stuffed animals and she needed some place to put them all. I don't like the look of the pet nets and don't like that she couldn't reach her animals when she wanted them. This was a simple project that really didn't cost me anything because I was able to use wood that I already had left over from other projects. It turned out so good and will get so much use.
Very easy project to make. From leaving the house to get the wood, get home, make cuts and assemble was about 4-5 hours. I have used this website as inspiration for other projects, but this was the first that I just followed the plans and it turned out great!. Very sturdy and perfect size. My daughter in the picture is almost 5 and this is perfect for her and will last years for our youngest daughter.
This is my biggest project to date. It's a great craft desk!
I used an oak project panel for the top, and pine for the rest. Finished with Rustoleum dark walnut, 2 coats of poly, and white paint.
Also, I'll probably revisit the hinge placement, adding another on each side.
