I just finished and delivered a Murphy bed project to a customer.
Pictures at a.b.p.w.

The bed is not very exciting as the customer wanted a large flat surface
to hang material on while assembling quilts.

I do like the towers however and all the Arkansas walnut pulls. I used
the same design pulls as my, earlier last year, bedroom project that I
built for my wife and I. I used Cherry for those pulls.

Are you saying that quilts are not exciting?? Do you have ANY IDEA how much
trouble you can get into saying that around a quit person?? LOL

Just thought I would mention it.

The whole bed "wall" swings left, covering the window and left side
cabinet. I assume that "wall" has a caster on the bottom right.
That's pretty neat.

Scratch that. Foot of the bed view. That's another cabinet in
another corner of the room. Still neat, though.

For a moment, I thought the bed door opened/swung to the left. I was
trying to figure out that pivot point.... LOL.

I paid Astraweb $10 in June of 2008 for 25GB of downloads, and I still have
more than 24 GB left to download. Good retention, and in the time I've had
Astraweb maybe 2 times that the servers weren't accessible fora few hours
each.

If some one is not willing to pay a couple of dollars a year to see
pictures that is fine with me. Chances are they are already paying way
more for internet service than for a news server service.

But seriously that actually filters out those that would not be
serious about buying anyway.

If thats your story then ok. I feel if your paying for internet service
anyway why not fully utilize it to "you're" benefit. When it comes to
accessing the Internet thats the only thing I want to pay for. My website
hosting is free, my off site hard drive storage is free, and theres many
sites that host pictures for free. Hell my Operating System is Free. I put
out enough money why not benefit from the few things that are FREE.

There are a gazillion *free* web based picture galleries out there that
I see no reason whatsoever to put them on a newsgroup.... *especially*
if people now have to pay for binary service. Antiquated.

Yabbut, it's one pic posted and then at least seventy five "Kudo"
posts praising it, even if the Pièce de Résistance is a flipping bird
house made of pineywood, or some silly bow saur. Crikey...

But most clients don't have newsgroup awareness or access. Free
picture posting sites are all over the internet and they're great.
Some folks post pics on their own websites, too, which is better.

http://www.google.com/search?q=free+picture+hosting

Some, like Google, make you use their proprietary programs (Picasa,
etc.) which can be a real PITA.

Others make you sign in, which is a PITA.

Flickr, ImageShack, and PhotoBucket are pretty cool.

That constitutes a PITA in your life? really?

BTW you have to sign in to newsgroups, too. But you probably have your
username and password already in your newsreader settings and it signs
in automatically..... which is the same thing *any* web browser worth
its salt does using the cookies the website stores in the browser's
preference file.

Was wondering after looking at the pictures. I'm getting ready to put
together a pre-made Murphy Bed for a customer. I completely remodeled the
room its going into with high baseboard and custom cabinets for a 2 desktop
workstation area. Is it better to have the Murphy Bed sit up against the
wall without the baseboard installed? I haven't installed the baseboard on
that side yet and was thinking it better to have the baseboard installed up
to the cabinets on either side.

Thanks,
Rich

Sweet! How do you like that style of Murphy hardware? Are they easy
to install? (How can they get nearly $300 for that?)

Actually my customer e-mailed me these pictures with a better camera and

Was wondering after looking at the pictures. I'm getting ready to put
together a pre-made Murphy Bed for a customer. I completely remodeled the
room its going into with high baseboard and custom cabinets for a 2
desktop workstation area. Is it better to have the Murphy Bed sit up
against the wall without the baseboard installed? I haven't installed the
baseboard on that side yet and was thinking it better to have the
baseboard installed up to the cabinets on either side.

Thanks,
Rich


Rich if the bed is like most any other fold down bed the top is going to
have to be securely attached to the wall. This keeps the whole thing
from coming down on top of you when you pull the bed down. So that you
can easily lift the bed back into the closed position there is a lot of
stored energy. When pulling the bed down that is quite a bit of force
pulling away from the wall at the top of the unit and probably an equal
amount pushing towards the wall at the bottom.

I strongly recomend that the bed not be pushed up against the baseboard.
It should fit as close and flat against the wall as possible. On my
installation for my customer I simply cut a notch at the back bottom of
the bed side columns to let the base board continue unobstructed in case
they wanted to relocate the bed and so thew would not not have to patch
the base board. This also gave me some left and right leeway with out
having to deal with the base board. The side cabinets simply push up
next to the bed assy. and up to the base board.

Thats what I thought. I'll install the bed and cabinets on either side
first, then install the baseboards ( 7" high ) on each side to complete. I
have an extra piece of baseboard already painted to fit the wall in case
they ever decide to relocate the bed or just remove it.

Thanks,
Rich

I have the hardware I just haven't built the bed yet. Once you look in the
box, the $300.00 price tag seems rather reasonable. The hardware package is
very complete and well made. The instructions are the best I have seen in a
long time.

When I installed mine, I used a scrap of the baseboard to mark the
cutouts where the bed and cabinets went against the wall. Didn't want
to have to replace the baseboard if I ever move the Murphy bed, although
after wrestling the thing in from the gar^H^H^Hshop, if I move the bed
stays.
