I made these for my Aunt. She loved them. Can't wait to do another Ana project!!

I saw a stand like this in a catalog for over $250 and knew I could build it instead for way less! I used the hinges so it collapses and both my daughter and I LOVE this stand :-) It is sturdy enough that my 4 yr old daughter and her 7 old brother can both be on it at the same time, wiggling and giggling.

We needed a dining table. We saw this plan and fell in love. It didn't look like it would be impossible for two people who have never made furniture, so we gave it a shot! We finished it over three weekends and couldn't be happier with how it came out. Thank you for the plans!!!
Tips: we were initially skeptical about using regular old lumber, but it came out amazing.
Rustoleum stain and polyurethane...use it!

Handmade coffee table base on Corona plans. Bottom shelf was chagned to wooden slats instead of solid plywood. 

I helped my 3 grands make this for their mom for Mother's Day. They loved it and she was over the moon!

I loved doing this project and the table came out awesome. But recently with the cold weather Ive noticed splits in some of the wood. Also where the beadboards meet the table top there is shrinkage...any idea how to fix it. I used non treated lumber from lowes.

Using Ana's three-storey dollhouse as a foundation, I amended the measurements to create a narrower dollhouse (36" wide) to fit our space.

I loved doing this project. Having the space so open on the top half made me a bit nervous, so I used some extra pieces to fill in the sides. It took me longer than 6h to complete; but I had fun while putting it together, so things worked out well. Now I can't stop thinking about what to do next!

About a year ago, I stumbled across your site, I was a lurker for awhile, finally joined, and can finally post the projects I have done so far. This was my second build from your site. It works perfectly on the front porch.

My wife and I built this table for our new home. It is a hybrid of the triple pedestal table and farmhouse table top. I modified the table top to give it a little more stability on the ends.

Here is our first stab at building funiture...not too shabby. We built 2 benches with the table!

I made the barn wood frame for less than $30 (the plexiglass alone was $23!). It's better than the $80 they were going to charge me at the frame shop for the same style! I used an opaque black stain to both hide my not so accurate miter cuts and give it a modern feel. I'm very satisfied with the results!

This project cost around $75 dollars for all the materials and paint. It took about 10 hours to complete. It is costructed of pine 2x4 with the exception of the slats which are 1x3.

My first project using Ana White's plans.  Love how easy the plans are and how great the bench turned out.

We like to fly the flag in our family so 4th of July is a big deal for us. I built three sets of crates to share, each with a little difference but all three with red white and blue stain from HD.
Easy to build and the instructions/plans were perfect. Nine crates required four cedar picketts.

This is my first attempt at woodworking. There are plenty of mistakes, but I'm happy with the finished project

Fun day project. Had toddler mattresses left over after my boys moved to big boy beds. Used the mattress and upholstered it to look similar to a couch. Now it lives in their playroom complete with throw pillows from target. I built some of this with scrap wood on hand to save cost. All in all, a very fun project!
