    • A bed built for a princess! Nice job!!
      By RYOBI NATION, on June 12, 2018

    • I built from the exact same plans, except I did a straight ladder and adjust height for size of room.  I just completed a desk area for under the bed and a reading nook as well.  Look awesome, bed looks so much like what I built so I had to comment on it.

    • You made this space look awesome and function so well, too! Great work!

    • This is exactly what I need to do in my shop! Good work.

      • Thanks! As said on the A Team, I love it when a plan comes together. And this has been a great way to please the wife by giving her the garage parking back while also being able to complete the projects list she has for me. Ha.

    • This is my next project as well. Did you anchor the wings to the wall or is it all free standing?
      By Ellsswhere, on August 29, 2018
      • The two wings are connected to each other via the center, miter saw platform, but they are free-standing otherwise. They are plenty heavy. And I have a sliding miter saw, so I needed the extra space behind. Otherwise it would have hung off the front and I wouldn't have much material support. I've debated going for a non-sliding 12" miter saw for this very problem.

        Other changes include:
        -quite a different plan for one cart to fit my table saw, as it has a 24" rip capacity and now added a router insert to it as well.
        -3/8" plywood for "shelf backs" as I had it on hand.
        -t-nuts and carriage bolts as leveling feet for the wings. (cut the legs about 3/4" shorter than the plans said because of this)
        -I did not add the plywood to the sides of the wings. Instead I just cut a 2x4 as a lower brace between the legs. Cheaper and plenty sturdy.
        -smaller casters
        -lower bottom shelf under miter saw (though now I would raise it a bit more so I could slide a tool set I have under there.)

        I modeled everything up in Sketchup so I could make all the changes and it would make sense for my tools and shop.

    • Your work bench is the exact bench I've been looking for! I already knew I wanted this type of setup based off of Ana White's but needed it modded because I have the same table saw as you!  You would happen to still have the plans you used for the build, and be willing to share?!

      • I do, but some of it was “edit as you go”. I’ll check my sketch up file tomorrow and send the link.

      • Much appreciated!
