Finally! I started this job about 8 weeks ago with the customer
understanding that I do not put in full time days in mid 90's heat. We delivered the 14 separate pieces of the bed in two trips on Friday and on Saturday morning we returned to remove the old king sized box springs and bed frame and moved the new bed into the bedroom. Then we moved some other pieces that I built a few years ago. About an hour later we were done. She is happy, he is happy, and apparently the two cats are happy. https://www.flickr.com/photos/lcb112...posted-public/ This shot was about 1 week from being finished. https://www.flickr.com/photos/lcb112...posted-public/ |

Apparently they got a really good deal on close out. AND it looked 10 times lighter in the catalog. AND no refunds. |

Question: Do your heels ever kick the drawers when getting out of bed in the morning? No! I/we typically step further out. Now having said that our personal bed has a double set of slightly shorter drawers, 18 total. My calf sometimes hits the handles but I never notice. Ours was the first attempt and I did not design the drawers to actually stop, they will in fact push all the way through. Thanks again! Sweet! |

Since I am building a (much, much, much simpler) bed for my daughter, I have been sharing your build pictures with SWMBO to show her what real woodworkers (with real shops) can do. Earlier on she thought the bed was "over the top", too fancy, etc. When I showed her the final product, along with the matching nightstands, she took back everything she said earlier and now really likes the outcome. Please stay on your side of the country. I can't afford to have SWMBO start talking to you. ;-) |

With Old Masters gel varnish. the two night stands beside the bed were Lawrence McFadden Candlelight GEL stain and Old Masters gel varnish. We were very lucky that the stains matched as well as they did. I had no idea that she was going to want the bed when I use the last can of Lawrence McFadden stain and they went out of business about 5 years ago.

Sonny I do not think that she has done a Mardi Gras blanket. The quilts on the wall in the picture were done by the customer. ALTHOUGH my wife may start quilting the tops for this customer. We recently upgraded my wife's "long arm" sewing machine to be robotic, so quilt stitching designs are very precise. A lot like a CNC. |

Finally! I started this job about 8 weeks ago with the customer understanding that I do not put in full time days in mid 90's heat. We delivered the 14 separate pieces of the bed in two trips on Friday and on Saturday morning we returned to remove the old king sized box springs and bed frame and moved the new bed into the bedroom. Then we moved some other pieces that I built a few years ago. About an hour later we were done.
