Project Information
This is the long awaited bed I built for my daughter. The first bed I've ever built. Total weight is 230 lbs. not counting the boxes to support the mattress or the mattress itself, which is 19 inches high. . It was a joy to build and a real learning process. The head board is 116 lbs. The foot board is 64 lbs. and each rail is 25 lbs. All panels are tongue and grooved and made out of 4/4 lumber. The bed measures 63 inches wide, 74 inches long, and stands 64 inches tall at the head board. The rails are 9 7/8" wide, 1 5/8" thick. . The posts are 4 1/2 " X 3 1/2" as a glue up. The arches on head and foot board are 1 3/4" thick, as are the horizonal pieces. The finish is Watco Danish Oil. Thanks for looking. BIGD1
