Re: My new bed
Thanks! I'll pad it with a sheet or something. ;-)
It's going to make a solid foundation for the mattress....

Re: My new bed
Thanks! The Thuma bed was partly inspiration to build this. But it's actually the "Staked Bed" from The Anarchist's Design Book by Christopher Schwarz. Since it's a queen size, I did as he suggests in the text and added a third batten down the middle.

Re: My new bed
Very nice, again! I got that book this year, and I thought your bed was reminiscent of one of his chapters. Great work; let us know how it works out for night-times.
Re: My new bed
Very Nice!
Too bad it will covered with a mattress.

Re: My new bed
Nice legs! Can we learn a more about how you made them, and how they mount with those splayed angles?

Re: My new bed
I knew I had seen that design somewhere but couldn't find it in any of my books or plans and it was right on the shelf behind me the whole time. You did a beautiful job with it. Now you can use it for some well deserved rest.
Thanks much,
