Console Table
Easy first furniture project. - Brad

What a fantastic fun project. I spent more time on the finish than I did building this piece. I used outdoor rail posts for my legs because it's all I could find. These rails were larger than the 2x2 required so the back top board had to be a 1x6 to accommodate for this size leg. Besides the narrow hinges I also used some supports under the top so the top would stay up when opened. I didn't want any tiny fingers getting smashed.
I am thinking of doing this one again but altering it to be a sewing machine table. I'll post a picture if I am successful.
Thank so much for the fun project.

This piece came out beautifully! Took all of 6 hours to complete it. I used pine on this project.

We recently built the sofa, two chairs, coffee table farmhouse table with two smaller benches. Everything is so comfortable. Thank you for the plans and advice about purchasing the cushions first in order to build to the size of the cushions. My husband built it all super fast. I stained everything and selected what to build. It all is so nice on our new covered & screened in porch that we built our. - Nancy & Bob

Vintage bars stools made for our kids ages 4.5,2.5, 1 (hence the reason they are high) the kids love them and I love the price tag! Around $15-20 each to make.

I left off the decorative corners.

Weekend project worked out well. Also made the tall bar stools also found on Ana White! Topped with a granite countertop. In the middle, I went with a double trash can sliding cabinet. 

My wife has been wanting a faux fireplace mantle so I built one. - Dustin Lewter

Great little shelf for a kids room. Love it.

Ana, Thank you so much for the plans for yoru Christmas Tree Shelf. My niece is a huge fan of the Christmas all year round and now that she has her own place it was a perfect fit. I edited the bottom area so it woudl be able to sit on a table, she is currently in an apartment and does not want to attach much to the walls. Added the boards in the back of the two compartments so it can later be hung, and also predrilled holes in the shelf bottoms in order to crew in eye hooks to hang ornaments from if she likes.

Stuck to the plan as described, but I used my Kreg jig to use pocket holes where I could. I used 1x4s for the shelves and joined them together with pocket holes. This made it much stronger. Without joining these boards, the shelves are kind of flimsy, not sure how much weight they could support without some type of support system. I added an extra 2x4 to the top, this made it overhang about an inch on the front and back. I used 20" drawer glides. Also, I notched out the side supports for the 1x4 shelves 3/4" so the shelves sit flush with the side supports.

Last week I picked up a few pallets while I was at Ace and made these cute stands with some of the wood today.  I spray painted a few cans and threw some flowers in them and have a beautiful centerpiece for my Farmhouse table!  I built both of these in about 10 minutes.

This is a farmtable that i made from your plans, along with the bench also made from your plans.  Turned out pretty good, worked on it mostly on the weekends.  Christmas present for my son and daughter-in-law.  Your website is full of great ideas and plans, thank you.
