...(or with family, or working, etc.)...I'm in my woodshop. I was fortunate enough to have a father who taught me, among many other things, his trade. He taught woodworking, and I loved making projects with him---and he was very kind to make them with me even though it prevented him from making things he wanted TOO. Anyway, I was very pleased with how these turned out, so thought I'd share. I made the first twin bed last year, and finished the second one just this week. Our daughters are now sharing a room as we just became licensed foster parents this week (looooong journey to get there), so we needed a room for our first placement. They are made of soft maple with a MDF panel (quarter inch). Side rails are attached with a mortise-free bracket (http://www.rockler.com/5-surface-mounted-bed-rail-brackets), and everything is painted with Benjamin Moore Advance Paint through a Graco sprayer. I cannot say enough about this kind of paint for high quality finish, and after using a Wagner sprayer for years, the Graco was a nice and recent upgrade. Just thought I'd share...
(P.S. - the decorating is my wife's touch...I just made the beds!)
