Walnut Platform Bed #3: Wings and wing support

well dan from watching you do this, im feeling quite elevated in my thoughts of what shall be next for me in the way of a big piece, as i ponder on this very question my mind is illuminated with many ideas, and this over all project is lifting me higher and higher…..:))......keep us posted as to what is next…

That is going to be very cool when finished and lit up like a long haul semi. I’m following this one to its conclusion.

Fine choice of words Grizz. This bed will get done on a wing and a prayer.

I know you’re a box man. I’ve made one box. I haven’t posted it yet because I’m supposed to put some velour in it and have yet to do that. It’s for a hanging poster to go into. It has box joints and is an elongated rectangle. My first box. I’ve made desks, beds, entire bathrooms, and a bunch of other stuff. I think the box was as much work as the big pieces. The only saving grace of the box was that it was easy to handle and not heavy like this stuff.

Thanks gfadvm (what’s the story behind the name?). You can follow it till the end but I often feel like a guy on a tightrope, always a little off balance. I think a lot about a build ahead of time but usually just build it off the cuff. With this one I started with the size of the mattress and am in effect building the bed around that empty sized shape. All I know is that when it’s finished the mattress has to fit inside.

well if i were to start my projects like dan did on this one, there would be many i say many more off topic discussions, they would see my thoughts exposed…....from the very top, they would see the overhanging mass that would hide the choice of materials…they would know that my diet is not one of all veggies, and im running out of metaphores…..so i shall go to bed and plant my head unto the pillow where i hook up to my extra hard drive, and when u hear all that buzzing noise….its overload…......does any of this make sense

Coming along nicely. It’s gonna be great and looks solid. I need to make my rickety bed some supports like that.
