Got the itch for a new wood project. So I'm building my kid a loft bed. It is nothing elaborate. Made completely of of 2x4 and 2x6 material with a couple of shelving boards. I would have loved a bed like this when I was a kid. it frees up a lot of floor space underneath to play or just hang out.
Got all the cuts made last night Pile of wood soon to be a piece of furniture ![]() Legs clamped and notched for the climbing rungs ![]() ![]() All parts cut and waiting to be sanded and predrilled tonight. ![]() Final assemble will be Friday night when she gets here to help me. Stay tuned

Man... I like the project cause building shit is cool, but wouldn't it be a lot cheaper and easier to just buy a damn bed like that? That looks like a LOT of lumber for a kids bed... unless it's going to double as a tornado shelter or something...

![]() But truthfully, that looks about right for a loft bed. |

Can you build Rangerscott a new garage? One with windows and heat and a dedicated heavy-duty power line...

Yep. I always sigh at that question when I get asked. "Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to just buy it?" I get enjoyment out of doing some things myself and there's a sense of accomplishment when I am done. And something may be cheaper and easier but mass-produced cheap crap is typcally, well...crap.

There is something to be said for building it yourself. I always enjoy building my own furniture, I just don't do it often enough.
I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of the finished product. I'm building a hobby bench for a buddy right now. Maybe I'll post some pictures when it's done.
