Building furniture....

[Corbs]

Kingsize beaut also made from scaff boards, on with the bedside tables next and the hurricane lamp big light and side lights!

you going to be using the spare room under the mattress for storage, or are you sinking the mattress in like the new fancy beds?

Haha it was perfect by the time i had finished! The hinges themselves weren't bang on we got them from an iron mongers That is the wardrobes waxed but they need buffing further. Not bad for old scaffold boards! Ill post a pic of the bed in a sec

looks better for the old style if its not anyway and to be honest looks better than this new rubbish and will last longer

well the bed i wanted to make was quite a high bed that looked like something out of a beach shack and that had fruit/veg boxes as the under bed storage. However we decided we just didn't have enough space for it. We have plenty of storage in that wardrobe (its 9ft x 5ft x 2.5ft) and we also have the back bedroom that has a lot of storage. So we will see how we get on. I am going to build her a small dresser for in the corner also!

I am debating whether to list the bed on etsy, the price wooden furniture is selling for on their is unbelievable. That bed took 3 hours to measure, cut and dowel together and another 3 hours to totally sand and wax. Total materials cost £100 for wood and wax.

What happens when the other half says, "I think it would look good against the other wall."

I'll launch the lumpy and the bolster at her and say you can move the #$&/*# lamp circuit and switches then!!!!
