I couldn't find an exact plan for the kitchen table I wanted, so I used a combination of the farmhouse table and pub table to create the perfect table for my space. I liked the look of the 4x4 legs, but my local lumber store did not have a good selection of 4x4 boards. So I used a 1x4 and 1x3 kreg jigged together in an L shape to get the look of the 4x4 legs. The overall table dimensions ended up 44" square by 31" tall.

Built these window box planters with cedar fence pickets, for the trim I just ripped down some pickets to keep costs down. These look great on the local coffee shop! The brackets were found on Amazon. 

This was my first Wood Project - EVER.

Working with this plan was quite easy. I just changed the design of the table top to my wife´s wish. I used "Golden Oak Stain" for the Legs and "Provincial Stain" for the Table top and Bench. The Legs are covered with Water seal and the Tops with 3 layers of Polyurethane. Chairs are Stained in Provincial also. Was a lot of fun for all of us. Learned a lot during this build.

Thanks

The project went relatively well. Had to readjust in order to fit our king. I used 2x4s and 2x4 joist hangers to support the mattres. 

Loosely based on the small cedar fence picket storage shed plan, this was my first attempt at making a storage unit with a roof. There was only one unplanned trip to the store (to replace two 2x4's that I cut to the wrong length). Pro tip: "measure twice, cut once" doesn't work if you measure the wrong length twice. Also almost lost two fingertips because I'm an idiot and forgot the most basic of safety rules for power tools, namely the "don't put your fingers near the blade of a circular saw when it's in use" rule. Very lucky to only come out of it with a good scare and some wounds that will heal without permanent damage. 

This was my first project. I am pretty excited how it turned out. If I did it again, I would recommend sanding and painting prior to building.

Chose the small firewood shed project as a "template" if you will .. built this to house our garbage cans and eventually put a gate on it to "help deter" the Florida black bears (we do multiple things to keep them at bay) but this will also just be a nicer looking way to keep the cans outside.

I modified the floor since the firewood shed had a floor that was suitable for, well, firewood but not so much for rolling garbage cans. Had to leave the one slat off the back for the depth of the can which I didn't completely account for in the beginning. Overall, still need to paint it and water seal it but happy with how it turned out.

I had worked on this project a while ago, but did not had time to add my brag post. I actually modified the dimensions to fit my needs. I enjoyed making this pedestal along with my son.
