How hard would it be to make a bed frame for a queen size Ben?!?

2017-09-01 21:13:18 UTC  

Bed

2017-09-01 21:15:09 UTC  

not to hard. depends on what you want. I love those "floating" bed frames, and they are cake to make, and you could add storage in the box(frame).

2017-09-01 21:21:33 UTC  

I'll have to look up a guide

2017-09-01 21:21:41 UTC  

Floating frames look sweet

2017-09-01 21:38:29 UTC  

And you can be sloppy because no one will ever see hahaa. No shame bro

2017-09-01 21:39:58 UTC  

Haha I got a lot of stuff to learn

2017-09-01 21:40:12 UTC  

I'm a home owner now and my trailer needs some work,

2017-09-01 21:40:43 UTC  

This would be a nice project because if you fuck up a little, like I said no one will see it. And you can learn a lot.

2017-09-01 21:46:53 UTC  

Would a drill and a circular saw be good?

2017-09-01 21:47:41 UTC  

Yes sir.

2017-09-01 21:47:51 UTC  

You can do anything with a circular saw.

2017-09-01 21:48:13 UTC  

It might not always be the easy way but you can do it

2017-09-01 22:45:40 UTC  

Okay good tyvm!

2017-09-01 22:47:13 UTC  

I pretty much have access to anything carpentry related. So if you need a little help with cuts, I might be able to show you how to make the cut in pictures. or a video

2017-09-01 22:47:32 UTC  

Sweet!

2017-09-02 04:08:50 UTC  

If I could buy any three carpentry tools to start my own home workshop for basic home repair and construction of simple wood objects like chairs, tables, birdhouses, etc, what would you recommend I purchase? Assume I have half of a garage to work with.

2017-09-02 12:26:58 UTC  

Probably a radial saw or a compound miter saw. A planer and a router table.

I feel like you could do any drilling with a hand held drill.
Chairs and tables would need legs or spindles, if you're turning them yourself you'd need a lathe or buy premade ones.
@Envian or @Jhawk nc might be able to give some good advice here. I believe they have hobby shops.

2017-09-02 12:54:04 UTC  

Ok I had to see what other guys out there recommended, and the router and planer is a must because almost everything is going to start with an even flat surface.
I saw one guy recommend a band saw but I feel like you could use a crosscut or circular saw. Now I'm thinking about it a table saw would be good because you can do some joinery on it, tenons and box joints, even the tails for dovetail joints. You can rip even parallel edges. It'll give you a good straight cut you might not be able to get with a circular saw.

If you're looking at making bedframes and things you should get a Pinterest. You can find a design you like and it will usually have all the measurements @Whitelash

2017-09-03 23:03:29 UTC  

@Whitelash Careful on the circ saw. Maybe check out some videos on operating if you're not familiar. They're simple to use but can fuck you up if the blade gets pinched and kicks out on you. I always hold my trigger arm out and perpendicular and in the direction of my cuts so you can put force behind the saw in case it wants to kick back. Also you can see what you're cutting being to the side of the saw

2017-09-03 23:04:27 UTC  

@RevStench Has some great pics in lessons for using a circ

2017-09-06 00:15:09 UTC  

@RevStench that window job was reeediculous!

2017-09-06 00:15:27 UTC  

^^^

2017-09-06 00:25:22 UTC  

Thanks guys. It really means a lot. That guide is a great start into the historic window restoration world. We're working with a couple of other guys to set a standard on historic windows also, so it was nice writing it out.

2017-09-06 00:36:56 UTC  

If anyone wants to see something specific let me know. I have a ton of jobs going, and I can probably pick up some more weekend work to get little walk throughs on new builds and remodeling.

Doing some boring ass stair treads on my rental today

2017-09-06 00:44:27 UTC  

haha get some Conway and you'll have a blast!

2017-09-06 00:45:28 UTC  

I just caught up on Jim goads podcasts

2017-09-06 00:46:21 UTC  

This is truly a shit job. Just slap it on and go as quick as I can no jig or anything

2017-09-06 00:46:31 UTC  

I have to have something to take my mind off the boring stuff. Are you putting carpet on them?

2017-09-06 00:58:40 UTC  

Nah just basic treads and risers. They had carpet and the treads were just 2x material. It's a duplex we just got

2017-09-06 00:59:23 UTC  

I did oak in 2 units but these are just gonna be 5/4 pine. Cheap and easy

2017-09-06 01:03:35 UTC  

haha nice. I love the natural/stained wood look. I don't care for painted trim or stairs. But I get why people do it.
Are you changing the flooring?

2017-09-06 13:27:29 UTC  

Nope just adding tile in afew places

2017-09-07 16:50:16 UTC  

Getting there
