I did edge all of the plywood with hardwood strips. That was a much bigger pain than any of the rest of the construction. But I did finally finish it after several late nights. I didnt see the the...

The nearest Ikea is about 6 hours away. =)

I am shooting for a 24" height with the mattress. I don't know how that works for tying shoes, but it seems to work on the rest of my beds, so I just...

How did you attach your footboard? I thought of using T-nuts or hanger bolts, but was somewhat worried about how robust either of those solutions would be.

I originally wanted to split it lengthwise, but there were two reasons I didn't. First, the bed has travel down a somewhat narrow hallway and make a left to get to the room in which it is going. I...

Really the only reason for not using a solid sheet is weight. I agree that there may not be enough support over the drawers though. Maybe a vertical support at the front edge would strengthen it...

I am designing a four drawer full size storage bed. My idea so far is to make it in two sections, one for the head and one for the foot with two drawers to each section on the right and left sides....

I wouldn't get offended at that concern. It is an issue to consider. I didnt really explain the entire use/design of the feeders. They are movable temporary fixtures that are dragged around with a...

I have found a used Delta 2HP cabinet saw for sale but I have no idea what I should offer for it. The gentleman is asking $750 but that seems high when comparing to new Grizzly equipment. This would...

All of my closets are lined with cedar including the master walk-in, the linen closets and smaller bedroom closets have all shelving made from cedar. It will be strong at first but the smell really...

My boards are air dried and I am sure the ply is kiln dried. There is quite a bit of difference not only between the ply and the boards but between the individual sheets of ply. Some get close to the...

I am building some kitchen cabinets with walnut and my intention was to keep the finish as simple as possible, hopefully just a few coats of spray lacquer. I finally picked up the plywood (all $900...

I am building a new house and for the deck I hired a portable sawmill to come and make 5/4 eastern red cedar decking and 6x6's. It has all been planed and now is being installed. How and what can I...
