Building a Bed
I’ve gotten a little more handy with woodworking in the past few years, and I recently made a king size bed that I’m really proud of. The whole thing started when my wife and I got a king mattress and we were looking into options for the bed. After we sold our house, we tossed our queen bed and mattress. They were both pretty beat up and we were interested in getting a king size anyway because of how often the kids end up in the bed with us. Figured it’s one less thing to move and store. We got a king mattress (I’m not above sleeping on a mattress on the floor) and decided we would postpone the bed for a little while. I don’t know if y’all realize, but beds are expensive. We looked at a couple of beds at a few different stores and none of them really fit what we wanted. They were either prohibitively expensive, they looked like they would break if I sat down on them too hard, or both. I’m a big guy and I’ve broken beds several times before. I want something that would hold up to plenty...
