Bed with own hands

To assemble a bed with your own hands is a task though not quite simple, but feasible. The main thing is to have a goal, clearly understand what you want to do, and follow certain step-by-step instructions. So, let's see below, how can we make a bed in our own hands in a rather short time and provide ourselves with a full-fledged sleeping place.

Master-class - bed with own hands

1. The first thing you need to do is to properly design a drawing of the future bed and its details.
2. We take the shields from the timber.

According to the drawing, it is necessary to mark out the boards and cut them to the required dimensions. After this, the skates are removed from the obtained parts using the hand plane. Then we grind the material with sandpaper.

3. The next step is to mark and drill the screw holes at the edges of the boards.
4. After this, we begin to create the basis for the bed. To do this, we make U-shaped frames, connecting the boards together with screws and incised connecting angles.

Angles need to be cleaned with a knife. The result is approximately the following.

5. We must take care that the legs of the bed do not scratch the floor. To this end, a soft felt should be applied to their bottom. It's best to do this with Glue Moment. Work should be done carefully so that the glue does not get into unnecessary places and does not spoil the appearance of the future bed.
6. Next, we collect the skeleton of the bed. Screw holes are well done with a powerful silk, which are then reamed by an electric drill.
7. The next step is the production of a spinal beam. We make it from the floorboard of pine. Spinal beam is very important, because it does not allow the plywood and mattress to sag. The beam is fixed with screws and corners to the end boards.
8. We now turn to the manufacture of plywood, on which the mattress will subsequently be put. It is necessary to drill from the ground plywood to the required dimensions, prescribed in the drawing, blanks. Then we cut the corners and grind the ends. In order to ventilate the mattress through the plywood, it is necessary to make holes in it. We make them using an electric drill and a circular saw for wood . The diameter of the holes is 45 mm. Inside the frame, the plywood is fastened with small galvanized screws with a countersunk head. That's what should turn out in the end.
9. We make the headboard. To do this, we take a furniture board and boards, with which the backboard will be attached to the bed. All materials can be purchased at an ordinary building store. The boards are cut to the desired size, their ends are ground, the same must be done with the workpiece for the back. First, attach the screws to the backboards to the boards, and then the resulting construction - to the frame of the bed. The product can be opened with a varnish. Here's what bed is obtained after all the above actions.

You can also make a soft bed, or rather her head with your own hands. To do this, make pillows that are attached to the sheet of fiberboard.

1. Using a roller knife to cut the fabric, we make squares of foam rubber. Then cut into the same squares of fiberboard. Squares of foam rubber and fiberboard are glued together with a double-sided adhesive tape.
2. Obtained blanks must be covered with a staple.
3. Now the pillows need to be glued to the back of the bed with the help of furniture glue or PVA. Here's what happens in the end.

A double bed made by one's own hands is an excellent opportunity to decorate your house with something truly unique and unrepeatable. If you have such a desire, do not stop yourself thinking that it is very difficult and almost impossible. You just need to try a little, and everything will turn out.
