Things to avoid in joinery.

Re: Bed Frame WIP

Short side back.

Re: Bed Frame WIP

Short side back.

yun naman pala eh, No problem 😀

Re: Bed Frame WIP

I think my short side front has gaps also,both visible and not visible.

Re: Bed Frame WIP

I'm about to start a new wip soon, bed frame also, watching your progress as mine would be very similar...

Re: Bed Frame WIP

@timber,

that is a rather wide bed frame! anung size ba ng mattress yan?

i am rooted to place the support bar on the cross section rather on the longitudinal.

on my list is a futon bed frame.my prob is wood and metal fixtures.

Re: Bed Frame WIP

@Timb.I may agree with Violane. I redesigned mine and will place 2 lateral support of 2x3s. If you will be using slats for matress support, it might hold up also. Depends on how much activity will happen on the bed also I think. :p

Re: Bed Frame WIP

Thanks for the advise, this will house a king size mattress, the design allows a queen size pull out underneath, hence the design and size. No room for center supports.

Re: Bed Frame WIP

Here is my finishing schedule, feel free to correct me:

1. Several coats of shellac, sanding (hand and ROS) up to 220 grit in between coats.

2. Konig oil stain.

I want to increase shade a little, my options:
-------------------
3a. More oil stain

3b. Sand, then oil stain

3c. Shellac, sand, oil stain.
-----
4. Sand
5. Shellac
6. Poly, maybe wipe-on.

Comments, suggestion?

Re: Bed Frame WIP

never tried Konig, had success and can recommend Ace brand though. Now depending on the color, I can suggest you stain before you seal. anong color ba gagamitin mo? :matrix:

Konig Red Mahogany.

Re: Bed Frame WIP

Konig Red Mahogany.

if you already have it, I suggest you try a story-stick for finishing on scraps first and see if you like the final color... :eathis:

That's what I'm doing now. Initial results seems to like like the color of your box.
