Nowadays, many people go directly to the mall to buy a bed, thinking that it will be simpler. After buying it, they can go home and assemble it. However, in many rural areas, in order to make the quality of the bed better, Okay, you will directly find a woodworker to use boards to make it. So let’s learn about what materials are needed to make the simplest bed made by woodworking and how woodworking makes the bed. I believe you will gain more through the following.

What materials are needed to make the simplest bed made by carpentry?

First go to the market to buy two pieces of 8*20*200 cm square wood and 20 pieces of 2*12*200 cm bed boards. And two 3 * 30 * 200 cm bed edge boards. The wood is generally more affordable fir boards. You also need a mattress of 140 cm x 200 cm. Of course, the size can be adjusted according to your own needs.

How carpenters make beds

1. Making bed legs

Generally, the wood purchased at the wood market can be determined according to your own requirements. This is also a hassle if you need a large cutter to cut your own large lumber. First, lay the two purchased square pieces of wood 8*20*200cm flat and upright to make the bed legs. Cut a 2cm horizontal slot every 8cm on the bed legs. The groove is used to fix the bed board and is then planed by a carpenter after being opened.

2. Make bed boards

Twenty pieces of 2 * 12 * 200 cm bed boards are required. Mark the position at the two ends with an indentation of 30 cm, and overlap them vertically with the bed legs. Mark the lap width lines on both sides. Then the other three sides of the extension mark i.e. left and right are also marked with a pen or scribe combination. Use a scoring knife to accurately score the edges to be cut, ensuring that the bed boards and legs pass past each other.

3. Make bed edges

The side length of these two beds is 3*30*200 cm. If the wood is not wide enough, it can be joined with tenons. The next step is to assemble the bed planks and legs. Since beds come in slightly different sizes, match the appropriate bed boards one by one and then fix them once the bed size doesn't fit. After the assembly is completed, write the corresponding digital marker to facilitate the next assembly. The bed is then laid along both sides of the bed board, and the ends corresponding to the bed board and the bed on the board are fixed with round dowels.

4. Sanding and painting

First use 180# sandpaper, then 240# sandpaper, and finally 320# sandpaper. After the parts are finely sanded with 320# sandpaper, there are basically no sand marks visible, and they will be very smooth after varnishing. In the past it was used to cover the structure with paint without the need for polishing. Nowadays, paint is used to express the texture of wood, so the treatment of the wood itself is very important.

5. Completed!

The bed frame actually used now includes two parts: solid wood bed frame and mattress. Experience tells us that a mattress should not be so hard that your hips and shoulders cannot bend properly, nor should it be so soft that it makes it difficult to move your body during sleep. Today I am sharing this solid wooden bed in the carpenter circle. The first one is solid and there will be no shaking feeling when sleeping on it. Secondly, the shape is bright and the height of the entire bed has dropped, with 25 to 30 centimeters being popular now.

After reading the above introduction to what materials are needed to build the simplest bed by carpentry, and how carpenters make beds, you should already understand it after reading the introduction, and then choose the materials. In the future, you should naturally find a carpenter with relevant experience, so that the quality of the bed produced will be better. However, if you think woodworking is more troublesome, just go to a brand store and buy a bed.
