Thanks. Yeah, I used my router and a roundover bit to slightly bevel the edges on a few of them.

Thanks much.

Thanks, they work well to keep the cords from falling behind the unit when disconnected. I didn't have it in the picture but we have a slim USB charger on the back of each unit (attached with Velcro tape) so that each nightstand has 5 charging ports in easy reach, while concealed in the back.

Thanks. We added the door racks afterwards and they added a lot of extra storage. The Shanty 2 Chic girls have great plans that are real easy to customize.

Thanks much.

Thanks. Yeah, getting this stuff off the floor freed up a lot of space and made them easy to find.

Thanks. They were real easy to make, the only issue I had was that my son, and future daughter in law, live out of town so I wasn't able to get their input before final assembly. I figure I can always shorten them if needed.

Thanks much.

Thanks much!

Thank You.

Thanks much.

It was pretty straightforward. Here's the steps that worked for me. I placed the round table frame upside down on a piece of cardboard and traced an outline with a pencil. I then cut the cardboard, slightly undercutting the outline. This provided a cardboard template that was the same size as the inside of the frame. I placed the composite deck boards face down and clamped them together temporarily with pipe clamps. I then traced an outline on the back side of the board using the cardboard circle. Once I had an outline, I marked the locations of the pocket holes. Outlining the circle before marking the pocket holes allowed me to make sure I wouldn't have any pocket holes / screws on the cut line. I secured the bottom side of the boards with pocket holes using my Kreg jig. I used Tightbond III glue between the boards as I secured them together with pocket screws. I wiped off excess glue and let it dry overnight. I used a jigsaw to cut the table as outlined and then popped the new top into the circular frame / table legs. Although it fit perfectly, I added a bead of silicone along the bottom side at the edge of the table and frame. Good luck with your project.

Thanks much. It was nice to make something functional again when my friend was about to throw it away.

Thanks. It's been nice to be able to move things around, and accommodate the new ONE+ tools I picked up during Ryobi Days.

Thanks, it was a fun project and has motivated me to further organize my workshop.

Thanks and it was super inexpensive to build!

We came up with the design ourselves and determined optimal size as we constructed it to accommodate the canvas cover she had purchased. We determined that buying treated 2x4's and ripping them into 2x2's was cost effective and provided lots of strength without being too heavy. A great place to start is the top of the frame by drilling a hole between the two boards on each side and bolting them together. Having them bolted in place allows you experiment and determine the best angle (pitch). Once we had the angle we wanted we tightened bolt to keep this angle and then repeated the steps for the other side. One thing that helped us was to clamp the boards to together as we mocked up a design. We experimented a bit to confirm the height and overall size and then glued and screwed everything together. The final height allowed 6'6" of clearance in the center. She was able to move it around a few times to determine placement and best shade cover. Once she found the best location we anchored it to the ground by using long tent spikes in each corner. To secure the canvas cover, one side of the structure has eye screws and S hooks, the other side is similar but has a turnbuckle between them that makes it easy to tighten or loosen the canvas. This also makes it easy to remove and store the canvas during the winter. Good luck.

Thanks, it was a fun project in that we were able to build it the fit the layout of the room.

Thanks. I applied Zinsser 123 stain block / primer to the MDF with a foam roller and once dry, lightly sanded before painting. I then used a general purpose paint (Rustloeum Painters Touch) in gloss. For small projects I've had good success applying paint on MDF projects with a foam roller. For big projects I use an HLVP sprayer, it cuts my painting time in half and provides a crystal clear finish without brush or roller marks. With my particular HVLP sprayer I have to slightly thin latex paint but many of the newer sprayers can spray without thinning. For projects that have a lot of hand contact, I apply a couple thin coats of clear coat (Polycrylic) for additional protection. I really like using an HVLP sprayer to apply Polycrylic because it's super easy to spray and cleanup. I've used the same technique when applying a protective clear coat to kitchen cabinets after painting them and they're held up really well. Good luck on your projects.

Thanks. I was inspired by the recent hidden treasure how-to's in Ryobi Nation and am now looking for other areas throughout the house where I can take advantage of hidden storage.

Thanks, it was a fun project.

Thanks.

Thanks, I bought my drawer slides in a 12 pack and am looking forward to doing more projects like this.

Thanks. I've never made cutting boards and am hoping to make a few as gifts for friends. I'm also inspired by all of the creative tables I've seen on Ryobi Nation and would like to make one.

Awesome! We will be on the look-out for more projects from you! Happy building!

Thanks. It was fun project and provides a great way to showcase unique collectibles while preserving them in their original packaging.

Thanks, it was very easy build. It wraps around three walls of the room, providing about 30 linear feet of display space.

Thanks. We have couple assembled LEGO projects our ours that our son spent a lot of time putting together.

Thanks, this was a fun project in that we were able to tailor it to her needs. The pieces on the display shelves are musical rain sticks from Madagascar.

I am sure it's very practical, too! We all need functional storage. What's next on your to-build list?

We are glad to hear that you are pleased with the RYOBI sanders!

Thanks.  This was the first step in organizing our laundry room, our next project is to provide storage for detergent and other supplies. 

Thanks.  We used General Finishes Dark Walnut gel stain, it's one of our favorites.

I still need to try out a gel stain 

Thanks.  It was a fun project and a good use of left over scraps.

Thanks!  

Thanks.  This was a fun project and a good use of left over scraps.

Thanks much.

Thanks, it was a fun project.

Thanks!

Thanks.  Projects like this are fun because you can make several of them quickly using only a few tools.  

We were happy with the design in that it provides multiple uses from the same material.

Whiteboards / dry erase is a great idea, it would be an easy modification in that the same stand could be used.  Thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely have to try it out.

Greg

Thanks.  Yeah, having an organized workshop makes everything so much easier.

Thanks. Yeah, the top lumber rack is attached to the wall studs.  My walls are 9.5' tall and having it mounted above the cleats makes good use of wasted space.  The wood scraps / cutoffs bin works great, I've found that I'm more likely to use scrap lumber when it's so easy to find.  

The outside sections are black walnut and the center portion is a piece of hardwood that my dad brought back from Brazil many years ago.  I'm not sure what it is but I have some more and looking forward to using it again.  I used my belt sander (in an upright position moving back and forth) to make the taper keeping it at the same angle when doing both sides.

Thanks.  This was a fun project and real easy to do

I used plywood scraps to model the layout and a 1x4x8' piece of Maple for the final build, ripping it into 2 strips. Here's a link to the one I built a couple years ago... https://www.ryobitools.com/nation/projects/silverware-drawer-organizer

I'm building another one right now for my mother in law.  The nice thing about making them yourself is that you can customize the layout to meet your needs. 

One thing that I really like to do is replace the standard drawer slides with full extension drawer slides, this allows the drawer to fully open, making it easy to reach things in the back of the drawer.

Good luck with your project.

If your plywood is finished on both sides and is the width you want, it may work fine.  If you go this route I'd suggest gluing a thin strip of wood on the exposed edge of the plywood, or use veneer edge banding.   

I like to spray a clear coat over everything so it is protected and ready for lots of use. Minwax Polycrylic is a good clear coat option, my favorite is General Finishes High Performance Water Based Top Coat, it costs a bit more but is awesome.

Thanks, it was a fun project.  I agree, I would love to see Ryobi come out with a CNC.

Thanks.  I used Varathane conditioner before staining and am a big fan of General Finishes Gel Stain, and their High Performance Top Coat.

I used plans from Her Tool Belt and scaled it down to queen size. https://www.hertoolbelt.com/king-x-barn-door-farmhouse-bed-plans/

Thanks.  What I like the most is the ability to see everything at a glance,  The problem I had before is that things got pushed to the back of a shelf and were hard to find.  

Thanks. They're angled at 30 degrees, I cut two scrap pieces at that angle on my miter saw and used them as a spacer and guide to line them up.

Good luck with your project!

The sides are 5.25" wide with a 1/4" plywood back.  It's made a big difference in organizing spay cans and caulk/adhesives making everything easy to find.  Good luck with your project!
