Cool furniture, design objects and desiderata

I ended up using one of my 3" wide boards for the center rail, hence I had to build another with rough stock on hand.

Cutting these faces flat and removing twist so that they can be used as reference faces for cutting to thickness.







Final thicknessing next time.

Finished one side, I'll walk through with detail photos of the cut out on the next round of photos.

Half of the frame is now together, and I have removed the center supports to facilitate the side rail fitting. The will be cut to length and test fitted after the legs are installed on the frame.

For this work, all the doors need to have been cut from the same board, grain lined up.

+1 The individual boards these doors r made of make the whole piece look cheaper.

Skinny, do you mind posting the sketch of the bed frame? It is always fascintaing to follow your work, but not easy to see where each piece is fitting.

It'll become intuitive soon enough. It's a very simple frame and 4 legs.

The part you're seeing now will have another side attached, that is the platform, and the legs will be attached to the side rails. The joinery for the legs will also tie in with the crossmembers. The platform will have grooves cut in it and then a system of slats fitted into the grooves.

There is pretty much nothing more than the basics of what is needed for this bed;

- Strong joinery at the corners to prevent racking of the side rails
- A strong center rail to eliminate deflection of the mattress
- Crossmembers to offer support against splaying of the legs.

Not quite sure SkinnyGoomba understands what beds are for

Will any part of the frame be visibleonce mattress is on top? It is a shame imho if the joinery and woodwork would be 100% hidden from view.

Francois Arnal T9 coffee table. Legs can accommodate any size/thickness of top.

Ballzy "design" move. Home Depot might sue him for stealing the design idea from isle 12 & isle 21.

All that ******* around and it is no stronger than something i could bang together in less than 10 minutes with a nail gun.

If you are doing a wall mounted toilet this is the only one to consider:

The corner joinery will be visible

You would put furniture together with a nail gun?

I agree. The designer really should have shaped the live edge more artistically.

I disagree. The designer should have picked a piece of wood worth looking at to begin with.

Foo,

Speaking of which, I was over at Willard Brothers this week and that had a bunch of stuff in the range of what you were looking for in regard walnut slabs for a bench. Brian Millen runs the shop and does quite nice work.
