My daughter is now ready for the toddler bed I made for her. Here is some pictures while I was working on it and some tips if you would like to make one yourself.<br />

First I made a cardboard mock-up just to be sure I liked the proportions and the forms.<br />
<br />

Fortunately the wood shop near my place sells their sheet of birch plywood in 30 in by 60 in, which was perfect for my design (well, technically I knew that, so I designed the bed in consequence). I had them cut in half so that means 4 boards of 15'' by 60'' (I only used 3 of those boards). 2 for the sides of the bed which is the length of the mattress, and the third board is parted in 2 boards the width of the mattress plus 2 times the thickness of the plywood. That means, in my case, 52 1/2 inches for the sides, and (28 1/2 + 1 1/2 ) 30 inches for the headboard and footboard.<br />

I drilled holes to help the cutting with the jigsaw<br />

Those are the leftovers from the cutting of the legs. I re-used it by cutting them in 1 1/2 '' stripes for the supports of the bed board.<br />

Footboard and headboard have the same design so it's possible to put the bed in different places in the room without affecting the position of the cutaway on the side.<br />

This is the tricky part...<br />
<br />
Drilling holes for dowels and screws. These have to be perfectly centered and aligned with matching holes on the headboards and footboards.<br />

perpendicularly to this one (see next picture).<br />

This is a video of me painting a bike frame. You can see all the layers being applied. First the primer, then the color, and finally the ceramic clear coat. This video was taken this summer but I tought it would be a nice post.Karelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15031903553207817765noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1763063523259746697.post-11557793576520329922011-12-23T06:28:00.000-08:002011-12-23T06:28:44.582-08:00Marantz AmpI had this old Marantz receiver and it was working only on 1 channel, plus the radio did not work. I decided to take it appart and build a smaller case just for the amp, no more radio, equalizer, phono etc....I don't have any photos of the build for this project but here is what it looks like. It's made of 1/4'' aluminum panels and bamboo side panels. (Oh and I had the second channel fixed by an audio shop)<div>

That doesn't mean I can't work on bikes (among other things). I'll try to post pictures of my different projects I'm working on. That may include a couple of bikes, speakers, amp and other audio devices, car etc. Feel free to comment on my projects. </b></span>Karelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15031903553207817765noreply@blogger.com0
