Bed progress
Check out my king bed progress. This is by far my most difficult project.
It looks like it would be quite easy, just a bunch of rails and slats, but she is deceiving! I am 3-weeks in and all I need to do is sand and install the ledger and mattress support slats. Look at the Ellis bed and tell me how close you think I got. I think I nailed it other than the inlay on the slats. I will post again after I finish. Thanks for looking! http://www.garagewoodworks.com/Ellis_Mission_Bed.htm -- Stoutman www.garagewoodworks.com |

Thank you Edwin. I forgot to mention that I still need to install the corbels. They are already made, just need to be glued on. Thanks! |

Check out my king bed progress.
http://www.garagewoodworks.com/Ellis_Mission_Bed.htm Looks very nice! I have to say I'm impressed that you've gotten that far in 3 weeks - is that full time, or a spare-time-project? I made a mission style bed that was only slightly more complicated than that one, and it took me almost 9 months (of spare time) from start to finish, and I was following a pre-made plan pretty closely (http:// www.woodsmith.com/plans/classic-cherry-bed/). That was my first major project, though - the more recent rocking chair came together in about 3 months. Recently I've just kind of been "puttering" around the shop - made a picture frame, a router bit holder, an air cleaner, a little box, etc., so I'm really looking forward to starting another "real" project. Good work anyway - keep it up! Andy |

Looks very nice! Thank you! I have to say I'm impressed that you've gotten that far in 3 weeks - is that full time, or a spare-time-project? I work on it most of the day on the weekend and a few hours here and there during the week in the evening. I made a mission style bed that was only slightly more complicated than that one, and it took me almost 9 months (of spare time) from start to finish, and I was following a pre-made plan pretty closely (http:// www.woodsmith.com/plans/classic-cherry-bed/). That is a cool design. It looks a lot like this guys: http://www.uniqueprojects.com/projec...issionbed1.htm I thought about doing that design also, but I saw the Harvey Ellis bed in person at Stickley and fell in love with it I pulled a Norm and measured it up (and converted to King)! That was my first major project, though - the more recent rocking chair came together in about 3 months. Recently I've just kind of been "puttering" around the shop - made a picture frame, a router bit holder, an air cleaner, a little box, etc., so I'm really looking forward to starting another "real" project.

Stoutman, VERY nice work. I like the grain orientation that you used for
the slats on the head/footboards. It looks very nice indeed. "Stoutman" .@. wrote in message ... Check out my king bed progress. This is by far my most difficult project.

Very nice Stouteman. Walnut? Thank you. The walnut was the wife's idea. How did you cut the taper on the head board and foot board vertical slats? I actually used the table saw for that, not the bandsaw. |

So far so good! I'm eager to see the finished piece. Thanks Morris! I am eager to finish it. Our box spring and mattress has been on the floor since moving into our new house 2.5 years ago!

Cheers, cc TitebondIII. My wife helped me apply glue and it took us 15minutes from glue to final clamp. It was ok. |
