The Tower bedroom progress
As many of you may know I have been working on a bed room over haul. I
posted pictures several weeks ago of the Towers and now we have the bed head board, foot board, and under bed storage in place. I still need to add the 18 under bed drawers, 8 muntins for the upper sections of the head and foot boards to match the tower center door muntins and caps for the bed posts. I'm currently waiting on the Bridge City Tools Kerf Maker to help with the 192 half lap joint cuts for the 8 muntin assemblies. The progress so far http://www.flickr.com/photos/lcb1121...7622991960362/ The video of moving day, comical, short, and very low resolution. For those of you that thought the bedroom may be getting a little small. ;~) http://www.flickr.com/photos/lcb1121...7622991960362/ |

The Dane was afraid to set foot in the bed room for about a week. She prefers her kennel, bed, or under my desk, and that is a sight to see. |

Towers have been in there about 4 weeks. There is going to be much more added to the room. New tall dresser and a light bridge between the towers and an area to hang misc clothing. Not sure which wall is going to picked for one or two of the additions yet. And there is also the LCD TV that is going to be hung on the wall. |

With the CT22E dust collection you get pay back in other ways other than money in your pocket. Certainly a safer environment, not breathing in all that dust and bringing all that dust home with you. Clean up is faster and easier. |

I used to build big, custom waterbeds. I built a bunch of the under bed drawer systems. One standard feature I would include, either under the bed or under the headboard, was a "shotgun holder'. This was a hidden storage compartment that was easily opened to allow instant access to a shotgun. I also have built small, lockable compartments behind a movable headboard to hold hand guns. For home defense purposes, of course. |

Some folks would find lockable compartments suitable for holding whips and chains to also be useful (don't want the _kids_ to find out that Mommy and Daddy are kinky). Be sure to include appropriate attachment points for the chains. |

Have you considered making some of the drawers under the bed very deep, for the storage of quilts and other bulky things? Thank you. I had considered deeper, when I was only going to go with a single row of drawers. When I learned that our new mattress did not have to have a lower box springs I decided to go with a double row of drawers and shorten each row bit. Not to worry, I have already built my wife a quilt rack that is food for a dozen or so quilts. She is a quilter. The towers, the night table replacements could hold 5 or 6 quilts each in the upper cabinets. |

When ever my wife and I go on a trip we usually stay in a King sized bed. Going back to a queen is Ok but we were sorta looking for a new bed anyway and went a head and decided to bite the bullet and go bigger. The only advantage I can see is footroom. I'm only 5'11" and my footsies are a bit cramped in a queen, but since I sleep alone, I can sleep diagonally if I want. Try it at 6'4". I use a California King (albeit H20). No modern mattress is lightweight, that's for sure. Mine is, when empty :-) You must not have a waveless. Mine, when drained, weighs about 300 pounds. Can't get all the water out. |

Weren't you happy with queenie? Just turning those king mattresses takes two people. I'm happy with my new/used queen, solid foam-rubber mattress. 6" of firm heaven! Nothing like a comfy bed.

If you can get really good siphoning action (a large drop using a hill, etc), you can get a great deal of the water out of even a waveless. Not all of it, but it is manageable. -- There is never a situation where having more rounds is a disadvantage Rob Leatham |
