Horizontal Alpine Murphy Bed

this is a nice looking set. I like what you’ve done for the hanging files. That’s a cool idea.

thats cool. i also like the hanging files. i would never have thought of putting that little rabbit. thanks for the post.

I have done the rabbet which is a good alternative to the insert. Another alternative is to use 1/16 or 1/8” aluminum or metal strap. However for the best frictionless and ease of construction, the add on insert or cap from Rockler is only $5 per drawer, alot cheaper than metal, but slides easier than just wood. Just my 2 cents. Great job on the projects.

Hi Chris

Nice looking bed and desk unit. When I seen the desk it reminded of the desk we built for the Universities. We built thousands of these desks every year, along with wardrobes. loft beds and bookcases. Thanks for posting.

God Bless

Here is what Tooldad suggested the Hanging File things

The one problem that I have is the new 5×5 sheets of Baltic Birch is almost 3/8”. I don’t like it. I don’t know if I was sent the wrong stuff or if it was a bad batch.

As long as you’re taking suggestions, I’ve done the file drawer with a width adapted for letter size pendaflex files, but with a notch for an aluminum cross piece about 15” from the front, so the user can use the same drawer for either letter size, as you show, or legal size, going in the other direction.

Sandy, great idea thanks for the info.
