So, I need to build a new bed for my 2½ yr old daughter as she's getting to big for her crib.
Instead of going for what we call a "junior" size bed (70x140cm) I'll use a standard adult mattress (90x200cm).
The wood will be ovangkol (also called shedua).
Head and tailboard will be 40mm thick (1.57") stock and the bed rails and safety rails will be 30mm thick (1.2").
The headboard will be 800mm high (31.5") and the tailboard 650mm (25.5") high.
The head- and tailboard are both approx 950mm wide (37.4")
So, the pictures show the bed from various angles.
The safety rails will be connected to the bed rails with three stainless steel rods 20mm (0.8") in diameter and they will be removable. However they will be secured so they cannot be removed by accident.
The bed rails will be connected to the head- and tailboard with thread studs (correct?) inserted into the head- and tailboard.
A threaded rod is inserted in the studs, and the bed rails are then mounted onto the threaded rod. Through a hole on the inside of the bed rails, a washer and nut will fasten them securely.
Dominos will be used dry to make sure that everything aligns properly.
The edges will have a slight chamfer (made with block plane, spokeshave or similar), but no more.
The finish will be cold-pressed linseed oil.
Let me know what you think and PLEASE be honest - I can take it
Thanks!
