No news on the bed frame project other than I haven't had time to work on it. Between starting fall season and the weather changing toward northwest fall - love this time of the year - I haven't had the time or energy needed to finish off the project. I'm hoping that this weekend will allow me to get more of it done.
A quick recap for those who don't want to go back through the previous four posts.
1. I couldn't find a bed frame that I liked so inspired by my friends Sonja and Chris I decided to build my own.
2. After sorting through antique malls for a door to use as the head board, I decided on old window shutters. Since the window shutters cost so much money and required a ton of prep work I decided to build my own.
3. Designed and built my own window shutters then with my stepfather's help we designed and built the frame.
4. Everything was framed up and nailed into place so we started on building the posts that will hold it in place.
5. The posts were build, cut down leaving sanding and staining.
And that's where we stand right now. The bed posts need a little more sanding to remove the last swirl marks and then the head board needs to be lightly sanded. Then comes staining and it's looking like two coats will probably be needed. Finally will be the remaining frame which is still in the design phase. The important thing is to make sure that it's sturdy yet easy to disassemble for ease of moving. It's always nice having an engineer in the family.
Anyhow that's where things are right now. Zero forward progress but we're almost there.
