DIY Plywood Bed
Had a blast trying another plywood DIY. In order to make this simpler, I bolted the headboard and footboard to a basic metal bedframe. I'm feeling confident with this material and can't wait to fall into another project. Also eyeballing the CNC hobbyist scene... Here is my SketchUp file if you'd like to build something similar!
Some things I learned along the way,
SketchUp basics and woodworking settings
Characteristics of wood species
Working with plywood
Cutting large sheets
Making smoother cutsLaminating layers
Building boxes
Wood sealants and finishes
Lightening wood color
Water-based vs oil based polyurethanes
Finishing paste and buffing technique
Bending wood veneer
Sanding techniques
Cabinetry hinge types, installation, and adjustments
