BED AND STORAGE BOXES
BED AND STORAGE
BOXES
A platform bed that's more than just a place to sleep.
Beds are for sleeping, right? Well, not if you're a kid. If
you're a kid, bed is the place to read, dream, plot and
scheme—or just while away a rainy afternoon. It's gossip
central after school is out and the intensive care unit during
a bout with the flu. It's the place to return to when the day is
done—and sometimes, it's just the best place to be alone.
Now that you know it's special, the job is to build a bed
that's up to snuff. Our design takes care of all the basics,
with a little extra just for fun. It's made of plywood and
poplar and we've designed it to go together without a
cabinet shop full of clamps. Underneath, there's ample
storage, with enough space for a pile of games, books and
the family cat. As for good looks, we've incorporated a
strong but simple visual theme that matches the rest of our
bedroom suite.
Building The Headboard
First, cut 1 1/2 x 3 1/2-in. poplar to length for the
headboard stiles, mullions and top rail. To make
accurate cuts with a circular saw, use a Speed
Square to guide the cut
(Photo 1)
. Position the
square the appropriate distance from the cutline
based on your saw's base plate. Then, clamp the
square in place.
1--Crosscut the 1 1/2-in.-
thick poplar headboard
pieces to length. A square
clamped to the work helps
guide the cut.
Prepare the stock for the wide bottom rail by
crosscutting the available widths a few inches
longer than finished dimension. Apply glue to the
mating edges of each piece and use clamps to
pull the joints tight. Add clamps across the
thickness of the assembly at each seam–at the
ends especially–to help keep the boards aligned
(Photo 2)
.
After about 20 minutes, scrape off any excess
glue, and let the glue set for at least 1 hour before
removing the clamps. Cut the glued-up panel to
finished length using a straightedge guide
clamped across the work to guide your circular
saw.
2--Apply glue to the wide
headboard rail pieces and
clamp. Use clamps at the
ends to help keep the faces
aligned.
Mark the locations of joining plate slots for the
headboard joints. Note that these joints are
formed by a double row of plates. Using a flat
table as the registration surface, hold both the
joiner and workpiece against the table and cut the
slots nearest one face
(Photo 3)
. Then, flip each
piece over to cut the remaining slots.
3--To cut the double plate
slots, use a flat surface to
register the slots on one
side. Then, flip over work for
remaining slots.
To cut the headboard panel grooves, first dry
assemble the headboard with joining plates and
use clamps to hold the joints tight. Install a 1/4-in.
piloted slotting cutter in your router (Bosch cutter
No. 85520, arbor No. 82811) with the pilot bearing
mounted on the top of the bit arbor. Rout a 1/4-
in.-wide x 1/2-in.-deep groove around each panel
opening and 1/2 in. from the stock face
(Photo 4)
.
4--Dry assemble the
headboard with plates and
install clamps. Rout the
panel grooves with a piloted
slotting bit.
Flip the headboard over, and again run the router
around each opening to finish the grooves. Before
routing the actual headboard stock, make a test
groove in a 1 1/2-in.-thick block to make sure your
router is set up correctly.
Disassemble the headboard parts and use a
sharp chisel to square the rounded slot ends left
by the router
(Photo 5)
. Cut the 1/2-in.-thick
plywood panels to size, lightly sand them and
thoroughly dust them off.
5--After the grooves have
been routed, disassemble
the headboard and use a
sharp chisel to square the
rounded ends.
Spread glue in the headboard joint slots and on
all joining plates. Insert the plates and join the
mullions to the wide rail. Slide the panels in place
(Photo 6)
and install the top rail. Position the
stiles and clamp the assembly. Compare opposite
diagonal measurements to check that it's square.
If the measurements are different, adjust the
clamps until they're the same.
6--Slide the panels into
place, and join the top rail to
the mullions. Finish the
assembly by joining the
stiles to the rail ends.
Cut a piece of 3/4-in.-thick poplar to size for the
headboard cap. Secure the cap to the top of the
headboard using glue and nails
(Photo 7)
. Set
the nailheads below the surface and fill the holes
with wood filler. Sand the entire headboard with
120-, 150- and 180-grit sandpaper, dusting off the
assembly thoroughly between grits. Carefully
ease all sharp edges when you sand.
7--Use glue and finish nails
to attach the 3/4-in.-thick
poplar cap to the
headboard. Set the nails
and fill the nail holes.
Storage Boxes
The main support for the bed is provided by two
back-to-back storage box units. Use your circular
saw guided by a straightedge to cut the plywood
parts for these boxes–a fine-tooth blade will
minimize tearout
(Photo 8)
.
8--To cut the plywood
storage box pieces, guide
your circular saw with a
straightedge clamped to the
orkpiece.
Mark the locations of joining plate slots in the box
parts and use your plate joiner to cut the slots.
Clamp guides and fences to the panels and
worktable to help register the plate joiner when
making these cuts
(Photo 9)
. When you cut the
slots in the end of a panel, you can use your
worktable as the registration surface
(Photo 10)
.
9--Clamp a guide across the
top and bottom panels of the
storage boxes to help locate
the plate joiner when cutting
the slots.
w
10--Use your worktable as a
registration surface when
cutting the slots in the
storage box partition panels.
To minimize the need for clamps, some of the
plate joints in the bed are used only to align the
joint, and screws are used in place of glue. Use
dry plates to assemble the partitions, back panels
and top and bottom panels
(Photo 11)
. Then
install screws to hold the parts together
(Photo
12)
.
11--Install the plates and
position the partitions
followed by the backs.
Finally, place the top panel
in position.
12--With all parts aligned,
bore screwholes through the
top and secure the panel.
Turn the assembly over and
fasten the bottom.
Spread glue in the plate slots and on the joining
plates for the end pieces. Position the ends and
use 6d finish nails to hold the joints tight
(Photo
13)
.
Rip strips of 3/4-in. poplar to a width of 7/8 in. for
the facing. Cut the pieces to length using a
miterbox and backsaw.
13--Use 6d finish nails in
place of clamps to hold the
ends tightly in place while
the glue on the joining plates
