New bed for my daughter
New bed for my daughter
Finally completed a bed for my 3 year old daughter. This was my first project in 20 years, so it’s taken me about 9 months of relearning techniques, practicing, finding the right tools, and just finding time really.
Originally was just M&T and half lap joins, but when setting up I decided it was a little too wiggly so I put 38mm and 17mm angle brackets to reinforce it.
Mostly construction lumber from local hardware shop. A few pieces “feature pieces”, Blackbutt and Macrocarpa. Finished with walrus furniture oil. The slats were cut down from someone selling off pieces of their bed on marketplace. (?)

Looks great. You planning on doing anything with the top part? Like maybe one of those canopies so she feels like a princess haha
Maybe. I designed it this way so my partner could easily come up with something to go over the top/on the posts. She’s into the crafting and cricut stuff, so she might get an idea to make this look nicer.
Seconding a princess canopy!
