Boat Beds II

Daniel got home around lunch time today, giving us an early start to the weekend and more time to work on the bunk beds! He managed a lunch break yesterday to pick up the cherry from the lumberyard. He has been figuring out how to make the trim this afternoon. It seemed kind of complicated, so while he did that, I cut lots of plugs to fill the screw holes on the posts.I drilled way more than we needed, just so they will be readily available for future projects, and cause it was kinda fun.
Here's a look at the posts. I sanded them today and will put another coat of varnish on tonight, once we are done sawing.

I like using the drill press best out of all the tools. It is quiet and doesn't seem life-threatening in any way.


Trim pieces
That's really everything new. With running on Monday night, soccer on Wednesday, and Happy Hour on Thursday night this is the first opportunity we've had to spend some time in the tool room.

  1. How did you curve these pieces?

  2. Daniel cut the curved pieces of trim out of a wide piece of cherry wood using the jig saw. I'm sure if you ask him, he would love to give more details. The paneling was thin enough to curve around the frame.
