How to make a wooden bed?

To make a double bed from solid wood we will need the following materials :

• 4 boards for making and assembling the product frame;
• 3 boards for support beams;
• 3 boards for decorative finishing;
• 6 bars for legs;
• 19 slats to create a slatted bottom.

Tip : You can use cheaper lumber for the legs and bottom. And those parts of the bed that will be visible are better made from more expensive wood.

The process of making a double bed with your own hands is as follows:

1. 
   According to the drawing, detailing of individual elements is done. To do this, it is better to use an electric jigsaw and a hacksaw.

2. After preparing all the parts, you can begin manufacturing and assembling the frame .
   Holes are made in the cut parts with a drill for fastening. The ends of the boards are cleaned with sandpaper or a sander. Self-tapping screws are inserted into the prepared holes and the parts are fastened together. For greater strength, the joints of the boards can be treated with glue. After the glue has dried, you need to check the evenness of the corners and you can begin decorating the frame using stain and varnish.
3. Next, we proceed to attaching the supports for the slatted bottom . The supports for laying the slats are attached in the same way as the frame. Holes are drilled in the support boards and the boards are fastened with self-tapping screws.
4. Now let's start making and attaching the legs . There can be 4 or 6 of them. It is worth noting that making the legs is the easiest step in assembling a bed. To do this, take a beam with a cross-section of 100 by 100 mm and cut it into 6 identical parts, 10 cm in size. The legs are attached to the support bars. For stability and strength of the bed, the legs should be placed at a distance of 50 cm from the edges of the frame. To decorate the legs, they can be given any shape. They are attached to the frame support boards with self-tapping screws. You should use at least 2 screws for each leg.
5. Now let's move on to the process of making slats . We make the required number of slats, carefully sand them and cover them with stain. After the stain has dried, the slats can be coated with waterproof varnish. They are attached with glue to the surface of the frame. Before complete drying, the slats must be secured with clamps. They can also be attached using self-tapping screws or furniture nails.
6. Now you can move on to making the headboard and footboard . These bed parts are decorative. They can be made in any shape, design and size. For classic interiors, carvings can be used on the headboards of the bed.
