DIY Twin Bed
Watch how to make a kids twin bed to complete the "Cape Cod" bunk bed build! This twin bed is made from solid ash and assembled with loose mortise and tenon joinery using the new Rockler woodworking and Hardware BeadLock system. The bed is knock down style so the head and foot board assemblies are easy to remove from the rails, easy to move from room to room!
I used rough sawn solid ash from a local saw mill for the build as it is MUCH cheaper than buying already surfaced wood. I used a combination of the Jointer, planer and band saw to dimension all the wood to the proper size. Then I find tuned to the dimensions I needed for the bed using the table saw and miter saw.
Assembly was completed with wood glue and the Rockler BeadLock system. This system is a simple method of creating loose mortises using a drill. After some careful measurements I drilled all the mortises and assembled the head and foot boards.
The Knock down functionality is done using some bed hardware from Rockler. You will need several slightly unique drill bits to complete the assembly but nothing you can't get at Rocker or a local hardware store.
The bed is finished using 3 coats General Finishes Enduro -Var sprayed on.
