Cabinet with doors and shelf
White cabinet made from some doors and hardware left over from my built in book case project and other wood left over from the book case and closet projects. All I bought was the wood for the top and the legs.

Made over two weekends - used pocket holes - stain is charcoal grey and the paint is rainwater by Behr - had some issues with warped wood but it still turned out great - I did not secure the cubbies to the bookcases; my hubby likes the idea of being able to change the size - overall very happy! Plans are so easy to follow
One of my first "big builds.: Learned so much making this! I love it!
My husband and I made this outdoor chaise lounge using a combination of Ana's plan and another we found on the Internet. We wanted to be able to move this easily, so we added wooden wheels that we turned on our table saw. All in all, this project took us about two weekends. We are hoping the next one goes a little faster.
You can see more pictures of the build process on my blog.
I saw the post and loved the table. I changed the dimensions to fit our couch and living room. The wood for the shelves was reclaimed from two old house that were eventually torn down. The houses were 90+ years old. Great old oak wood!
This project took 45 minutes, from measuring to filling up the drawer :)
I ripped some existing 1/4" plywood scrap down to 5" (that's how deep each divider is)
My bases are quite small: they were made from a 3/4" tall by 5/8" deep scrap piece. This made each shelf fairly shallow, but the incline is plenty so that the spices don't slide up and down.
This was a birthday present for my husband. I made a few adjustments because we didn't want that big of a table. To make it decorative, I added 45-degree angles for the outside edge and then added the planks on the inside. I found the planter size that I wanted and then I built it to fit around the planter that I used for the ice cooler. I liked the hole in the middle for the lid so if I wanted to I could take out the planter/cooler and put a table umbrella in its place for shade if we wanted. We have a family of four so I wanted to make a bench for each person and enough room for more if desired. I mostly used the same plans for the table I just shrunk the size and made sure that they would push in under the table. My husband loved it.
I'm a complete amateur and the instructions made it so easy!

For my first woodworking project ever, I decided to make the Rectangles Daybed. I have not handled a power tool before, except the drill. So, over all, I'm quite happy with the result.
I got odd lot fir, which was more expensive, but prettier and easier to work with. I would probably not do that if I had known I was painting it. I also decided to put in IKEA slats instead of making my own.
I put more details in my blog posts.

Is there any chance you are making this to sell? if so, how much? Email me at [email protected]
We shortened the original table plans by 2 feet to fit it inside our breakfast nook and it turned out perfectly!

Love the bright beautiful space! Great build and mod, thanks for sharing!
This was a fantastic project and I love the way it turned out. You can check out my blog post for more details how it all came together.
Started down this road on May 30th 2020. First it was the $40 Coffee Table (Which cost me $47 in wood from Lowes) Highly recommend a Miter-saw with a long enough fence to make identical cuts, I learned my lesson. Cut and built the table over the weekend. Had some trouble with the X's on each end, do not use the dimensions in the plans for the X's they were 3 inches to small. (Watch the video and follow Ana's technique.) Sanded all the wood stained with Jacobean 2750 tint Minwax and sealed with Satin Polycrylic. After it was finished my wife asked for the matching side tables see the other Brag Post. See Photos for Details.
We decided to build the Farmhouse Table after our 30 year old dining table began to crack and just wasn't working so well for our family of 5. This was our first project, so we made a lot of mistakes but also learned a lot. One of the hardest things was finding decent lumber that wasn't warped or split. We also made two Farmhouse Benches but they aren't included in this photo.
Needed a big desk. Made mine at 8' long.

The desk came out great. I made the same desk, I went with the 2x12x6 dual board top. I like the look of the solid piece on top...will have to try it on the next one.
Thanks Ana for your great plans... Unfortunately it hasn't stopped raining since we finished the armchairs! All we need now is the sun :)
We used 4x1 for the seats to match the outdoor sofas.
DIY Octagon Picnic Table
I used the wall jewelry cabinet plan and modified it a bit to fit the materials that I already had in the garage. The whole project was built using salvaged barn wood and siding that was built in the 1800's. It took a little longer to square up the boards and sand them to a friendly feel but I had little to no finishing time in the end. The plans were so spot on that used them almost exactly.! I just added another cross support to the door and used old barn wood tongue and groove for the back. I also fastened a little piece of wood at the top of the door with one brad nail. I did this to keep the door shut in a more attractive way then a clasp or hasp. The little piece swings out of the way with ease. I bought the knob at hobby lobby for 2 dollars and the hinges were less than 2 dollars. The hardware cloth came in a roll that was 24 inches by 25 feet long for 10 dollars. Basic wood working knowledge and tools are super helpful with this project and as is stated in the original plans... a kreg jig makes it so much faster and easier.! Thanks so much for sharing!!
I saw a post on Fixthisbuildthat.com about making wall art. It looked super cool so I thought i would give it a shot. My wife loved the first one so I made two more per her request. These are pretty easy to do if you have a table saw and a miter saw.
This is the 52 inch waterfall console. I fell in love the it and thought it might be a great way to store my bed pillows when they aren’t in use. I modified it to be shorter and taller, to fit my space and needs. This was my first time using a kreg jig and brad nailer… tutorials on those would be great, but I figured it out! And I’m so excited I did - this is a game changer for my building projects!
