New Bed Job
Well I started a new bed job today. This one will be another with the
storage under the mattress platform, 18 drawers this time. the last only had 9 drawers. This will be the fourth bed I have built like this in the last 6 years. This bed will not be stained but will be built with white oak and walnut. The main components in the base that the drawers will fit between will again be MDO. I love that stuff, no tear out, less chance of splintering and the material tends to stay very flat. Anyway this is where I am headed. If you want any details feel free to inquire. https://www.flickr.com/photos/lcb11211/29952666765/ |

Would you like a copy of the drawing file? I can e-mail it. But all details are not there. Enough to build it but methods of attachment and types of joints are not drawn. Change the obvious in my e-mail and I'll return with file if you want. Or I can display an inside view. |

Or I can display an inside view. The base unit is mostly pocket hole screws to attach the large MDO panels to the face frames on each side. Dominos for both face frames assembly. All bracing and tracks are attached to the MDO panels with screws. The drawer rabbit joints will be reinforced with through domino tenons, 8 for each drawer. Outer drawer fronts rails and stiles will use stub tenons on the rails into groves on the stiles. The head and food boards will have stub tenons into groves on the majority of pieces with Domino's and screws to attach the legs to the mid panels. |

LOL I think it's more about long it takes me to do simple builds vs. you cranking out masterpieces like clockwork. Well I will admit I probably waste a lot of time and if I spent 8 hours a day working I could do it at least twice as fast. I spend a lot of time waiting for the 2~3 coats of stain/varnish to dry so I lose a lot of days with that process. I try my best to prefinish before assembly and that can happen 2~3 times during a build and adding a couple of weeks or more of simply waiting for the finish to dry between coats. I told her that all I need is a 3 car garage, some green tools and one less full time job. ;-) That is a start. ;~) It used to take me months on end, sometime a year or so to finish a project when I was in your shoes. Hang in there! |

My wife does them by hand for each grandchild. Anyhow, at the end I showed her your new bed design. Guess you're going to need a nice new dump truck, as she said you must get a ton of money for one of those. |

It reminded her about when she was the age back in Delaware and their quilting parties. Well actually we do not have any grand children yet. That little girl is something. She is a neighbors grand daughter. She is 9 or 10 and is getting into sewing, plays the violin, and this past weekend she moved up to spot 35 in the top 100 all around gymnasts in her age group in the country. She was impressed with all the quilts. My wife does them by hand for each grandchild. My wife started there about 15 years ago. She has been machine quilting for about 13 years and gets lots of work from the ladies that do not want to quilt their tops. Anyhow, at the end I showed her your new bed design. Guess you're going to need a nice new dump truck, as she said you must get a ton of money for one of those. Well I'm not cheap but my customers do not hesitate or balk at my prices. Thank you! |
