Ana White

Ana White's plan catalogue is useful when the intended object is clearer than the design. Storage, tables, outdoor seating and planters have their own routes, with beginner and intermediate labels helping narrow the list. Timber-based browsing provides another entrance for someone using 2x4s, cedar pickets or scrap wood. Selected storage plans also have configurators rather than a single fixed version. Begin with the object's purpose and the plan's skill label, then read the complete plan and material requirements. Reader builds provide examples of other people's results, not a substitute for the plan itself.

For the tote-rack configurator, measure the widest part of the tote, including its lid. The output includes cut and material quantities plus runner and spacer placement. The plan warns that not every size has been tested, suggests sections for unwieldy racks and says tall racks should be fixed to wall studs.
