Hello. It’s Carl here. I asked my son how I should start off on the website. He suggested for practice, I should tell you why I needed the Platform Bed Plans in the first place.
My youngest son just graduated from University of Virginia in December. He and a buddy of his are sharing an apartment and he was looking to go buy a cheap bed. Well, I had been to Europe some over the years for work conferences and enjoyed those platform style beds they have over there. My son is a big guy and a firm bed was what he needed. Plus the great thing about platform beds is you can make them with built in storage spaces.
He figured what the hell, let his old man build his bed, how bad could it be?
The REAL reason I suggested a platform bed was to give me a new woodworking project. I love my new add on workshop. Anything I can find to build from scratch is a mark in my book. Plus it would save my son a lot of money and it would be a gift from me. To get started, I needed a good set of quality platform bed plans to go buy. I wanted to do the job right and as perfect as possible. This would be my first attempt at building a platform bed, so having the best plans possible was very important. Also, I needed plans good enough to make sure the bed would hold up. Remember, my son is a pretty big kid.
Now this is my first entry on the website. My next entry will talk about my first attempts at this and why I do not recommend just using any old platform bed plans out there, as I quickly found out.
Hey..My name is Carl. I wanted to share my experiences here on my search for the right Platform Bed Plans to build my son's Platform Bed. I hope you will benefit from the tips!
