With the short rails for the studios photo
Before the final hardware ... bolt covers and mattress brackets
4/24 Were underway on a copy of Sheilas bed. Sheilas my neighbor. She called me from her rental house in town after she closed on her new house a few years ago. She liked a bed on my website and wanted to come and talk to me. I gave her directions and she said: Nice! I just bought the house across the street. These clients also found me on the internet and made the trip from Northwestern Massachusetts to check out our work in person. They liked what they saw and now were making their bed. Wills doing the turnings and Trevor has finished the bolts and joinery and will make up the headboard on Monday ... Should be good to go by the end of next week .. Nice project ... Click the photos to enlarge them ...

Will roughing out the turnings with the duplicator
Cleaned up and first coat of varnish so they can be sanded one more time on the lathe. Once we drill them to join them (the 56" posts are too long to turni in one piece) we wont be able to put them back on the lathe accurately, so we do as much to them before then as we can ... saves time in the long run
upside down posts and rails bolted together. If youve been reading my blog lately, youll notice that the stairs are gone ...
The jig for accurately drilling the bottom posts...
