Bed To End All Beds
the one we copied off was $2499 - this one $380 - why does that feel so good ? Because therules here are inclusive of a new purchase of a much needed tool for each project !
I am making a step by step powerpoint showing how to make this one using recycled floor bearers and joists..f..n heavy but solid..Love the Bare

Great job !!
How much of the saved $2119 do you get to spend on tools?

Nice job corcorbear. It goes really well with the floor. Now go and spend some money on tools because you deserve it.

Beds
Hi Corcorbear
Great bed similar one at Bungandor Gallery in iron bark about $3000 and you only get the head. I built one out of brazilian mahogony ,timber and pedistal drill needed to bore dowels for legs cost about $800 still a lot cheaper than Harvey Normal and I got quality timber and a piece to be proud of,the tool cost is written down as consumables for the job.
Cheers TonyTony
