![]() One tool I used, I borrowed from a friend. Screws were "for free", because I collect them whenever I can and also the dowels and centering spikes were already in my possession from another project (although I needed to buy another pack of dowels, because I ran out). I bought 18 mm spruce furniture boards and I had them directly cut to size at the hardware store (they do that for free). The extra shelf on the headboard did not need to be of a specific depth, as long as it could hold a glass of water it would be alright.Īll in all I have spent a bit und 50 EUR on all the wood (that is a bit more than 56 USD). Like I said, we went for a mattress that was 80 cm wide and 160 cm long, the bookcase needed to be at least 28 cm deep and 30 cm heigh to make room for even the biggest books. By adding hinges of some sort to the bottom that was relatively easy and pretty awesome, so I took that into account too. Then a colleague came up with the idea of a secret compartment under the bookcase. That meant, a small bookcase or shelf needed to be added! Alright, no problem I redid the drawings and made some new calculations. ![]() She had the wonderful idea to turn the bed in a reading nook. Turns out my wife had a different idea in mind. I wanted to create a very simple (read: cheap) frame that would just interlock using cutouts ( edge cross lap joints, to be precise). Of course we could just lay the mattress on the floor, but that is just too easy. That is a standard size and is also cheaper when you order it online. Important: After I build the bed, I found out that a mattress of 70 cm wide and 140 cm long would have been way easier. We decided to use a mattress that was 80 cm wide and 160 cm long Combine those two things, with the fact that my wife and I are interested in montessori education and the parenting style that comes with it, a floor bed was the logical result. Practically enough, her birthday was coming up and she also was going to need a bigger bed. After I finished the instructable for a dollhouse I made for my daughter, I wanted to make something new.
