King Bed in Cherry and Walnut build, part two
This bed is designed to look like the night stands and dresser: cherry casing sitting on a walnut base. The frames for the headboard and footboard stand in for the cases, but the “base” is actually four separate sub-assemblies. Legs The base starts with four legs. Each leg is 3″ x 3″ and 12 inches long; I glued them up from two pieces of 6/4 walnut that I already had in the shop, then cut and planed them to size. The grain matches nicely enough that you can really only see the glue line at the top and bottom, most...

A king-sized bed frame is a jumbo project. My lumber shopping list included 49 board-feet of 5/4 cherry, 10 board-feet of 12/4 cherry, 52 board-feet of 5/4 walnut, and 5 board-feet of 4/4 maple for the slats. To make sure they’d have enough in stock, I emailed Woodcraft a couple of weeks in advance and let them know I was looking for that much 5/4 stock. On Veterans’ Day I rented a U-Haul van and picked up the wood. The reason for all that 5/4 stock is that all but a few of the pieces of this bed are 2 inches thick. I could...

The final piece of Julie’s and my new bedroom set is a king-sized bed: As you can see, I’ve deliberately taken a lot of style cues from the dresser and night stands so that it is clearly a set. The headboard and foot board have solid walnut at the bottom and top, and the walnut rails joining them together creates a similar look to the walnut base on the other pieces. I’ve also echoed the long curve along the front (foot board, in this case) rail of that base. Cherry frames form the main mass of the head and foot boards....

The compact work bench was conceived and designed as a simple, functional project to fill a need. As such, it’s made of very inexpensive materials, MDF and dimensional lumber, and designed to go together quickly with a minimum of fussy joinery. I also borrowed heavily from the tips and advice in The Workbrench Design Book by Christopher Schwarz, though I suspect Schwarz would be unimpressed with my choice of materials and by some of the design aspects. I started by taking my sheet of MDF and cutting it down into four pieces. Two...

The oldest thing in my shop, aside from me, is this table: My father and I built this in the early 1990s, when I was just getting into woodworking and still had very little idea how things were done. It’s made of dimensional lumber and particle board with a replaceable top skin of 1/4-inch plywood. The front vise is something I added myself years later, though it’s seen more use in the last few months than in the entire time since I installed it. As I find myself reaching for hand tools more often, particularly the planes,...

This project is part of the solution to a relatively new shop problem. I have a back work table in my shop that measures 48″ x 30″, but is effectively about half that size because part of it is now the permanent home of my Porter-Cable stationary belt/disc sander. There is a huge storage space below that table, about half of which is taken up by my old Sears oscillating spindle sander. This makes the belt/disc sander very convenient, but getting out the spindle sander to use it is a pain — I have to haul it out from under...

Three coats of Arm-R-Seal got wiped onto each of my subassemblies, and I gave it some extra time to cure. Then there were just a few more things to do. First, I mounted the cases on their bases. The corner blocks I’d inserted gave me plenty of room to work with, so I predrilled and drove two #8 x 1-1/4″ screws up from beneath to hold the base and case together. Next, while I still had easy access from behind, I attached the drawer faces to the drawers. To start, I predrilled my drawer faces to receive the #8 knob screws that...

Drawers The next step in construction of these night stands was the drawers. Since I dovetailed the dresser, I pretty much had to dovetail the night stand drawers too. I toyed with the idea of using standard lock rabbet joints at the back, but again that wasn’t what I’d done in the dresser and I wanted the set to seem like a set, even down to the details. So dovetails all around. My drawer cavities are 7 inches high, 20-1/4 wide, and 16 deep so I made my drawer boxes 20 x 15-1/2 and went with a box height of 6 inches to get...

Now that my cases were assembled, it was time to start working on the walnut base and top. Top For the top panels, I wanted finished dimensions of 19″ x 24-3/4″. To have room to use my reversible glue joint bit and trim things to size, I figured on using three pieces 7″ x 26″ per top. My stock, however, had other ideas. When I bought the wood I was focused on getting the right quantity of board feet and failed to pay enough attention to the dimensions I would want. As a result I had one very wide board (about...

This night stand is a good project to make in pairs. I started out by making up my cut list and going shopping at Woodcraft. Like the dresser, the night stand case is made from 3/4-inch cherry veneer plywood with solid cherry drawer faces and solid walnut for the base and top. The two drawers are supported by frames made mostly of poplar but using a solid piece of cherry for the front rail. I cut down my plywood first, then went to work prepping the solid stock as per my usual routine. I ran the stock through the planer, checking the...
