Beds

by Jeff Miller

A well-made bed can be a significant piece of furniture, more complex than a first glance may show. For that reason, Miller begins his book with a review of the basic factors — components, sizing, foundation and hardware. The nine projects that follow are small first bed, Shaker, Craftsman, pencil post, City, Windsor, platform, sleigh and bunk beds.

Skills required range from simple joinery to some challenging bending techniques, but the detailed measured drawings, cutting lists, full instructions, more than 130 color photographs and numerous tips and warnings make these projects suitable for the hobbyist woodworker.
