Latest project

[Ron Don]

We went looking for June a full size bed a couple weeks ago. Pretty much everything we found in stores was OVER PRICED JUNK! Well I popped off and told my wife I could build something better than these! The last thing I needed was another project on my hands, BUT she said I had until Thanksgiving or she was buying one.

I only had about $85 in lumber and probably another $80 in primer and paints. Im glad I went this route because it turned out pretty nice. Steph is into the old vintage look so I went with a crackle paint scheme. I plan on building a trundle for it soon.








Heres a couple pics from our Christmas tree hunt. I don't remember the last time June had this much fun! She would run up to just about every tree tree and say "Dis One???" "How bout Dis One?"

Looks about right since i assumed wood working comes natural with your last name. Very nice craftsmanship.

She is at the right age, Christmas is going to be blast. Picking out the tree Griswald style........ but where's the snow?

Ah, a fellow L-7 builder. Nice underbed storage - luckily I built ours 15" off the floor cuz now its so packed with stuff underneath a roach would have difficulty crawling in.

Didya get that tree?

Great Job on the bed there young man. Good thing I ain't a raising your little girl. I would never be able to tell her NO. And we all know that's not a good thing.

 

[Ron Don]

Thanks guys. The bed was pretty simple... I used pocket holes for most of the joinery. I did this one 12" off the floor. One more inch and her wagon (that sounds like a freight train roaring up and down the hall) could have slid under the bed and out of the way. But once I get the trundle in there it wouldn't matter anyway.

Russ... Snow?

 

[AtticaFish]

Geesh, has little June EVER seen snow? Can't imagine life with out a snowman?!?!

 

[Ron Don]

Ha she's only two! I can count on one hand how many times we've had enough snow to build a snowman in my lifetime. This ain't Lubbock!!!

I can tie a jig but don't do woodwork. Bed looks great and June is a cutie. They grow up so fast.
