Tutorial on making a bed from wood boards

The tutorial for making a bed from wood boards is as follows:

1. Make a bed frame: Today the old carpenter shared a simple wooden bed with a Simmons mattress on top, so it must be based on the existing Simmons mattress. specifications to make the bed frame. First place the Simmons mattress on the ground. The mattress size is 120*190cm. Then surround the mattress with four 12*2.5cm square timbers used to make the bed frame (as shown in the picture), and then mark the bed frame specifications with a pencil.

2. Make bed beams: After making the bed frame, add bed beams on both sides of the inner wall of the bed frame to place the bed boards. First, cut two bed beams that are 5cm wide, 2.5cm thick, and slightly shorter than the length of the bed frame. Then place the two cut bed beams on the inside of the two sides of the bed frame, 2.5cm below the edge of the bed (the thickness of the bed board), fix them with C clamps, and reinforce them with wood screws.

3. Make the bed board: Use a tape measure to measure the required width of the bed board before starting to make the bed board. The bed board is made of pine boards, which is economical and practical. Flexible half-groove splicing (or tongue-and-groove edge joint) is used between the bed boards, so that when laying, they only need to be laid in order, and it is also very convenient and quick to dismantle.

4. Saw the bed legs: First prepare some old wooden piles with a diameter of about 12cm, and use a carpentry saw to cut four sections of 30cm high wooden piles (as shown in the picture) to make the bed legs. Then use a pencil to draw the outer positions of the cross tenons at the four corners of the bed frame, and then use a woodworking saw to cut out the cross tenon positions. After the bed legs are finished, turn the bed frame over, snap the bed legs onto the bed frame, cut off the excess section (inside), and finally assemble it.

5. Carbonized wood: There are many ways to make a simple wooden bed. The highlight of this solid wood bed is the carbonization process. The carbonized wood process has been used more and more in recent years, especially for some furniture with unique designs. , handicrafts, decoration materials. The carbonized wood process is the wood obtained by carbonizing the wood. The carbonized wood on the furniture surface is usually grilled with an oxygen welding gun, so that the wood surface has a very thin carbonized layer, which can highlight the uneven wood grain on the surface and produce a three-dimensional effect. Our main task here is to carbonize the bed legs and bed frame. After the carbonization is complete, we will then begin the complete polishing process, and finally the process of applying clear paint. It turns out that this method can also be used for solid wood beds.
