Hi Folks….Carl here,

I sure as heck hope you enjoyed my last post on those great tips.  And don’t forget to check out my other posts about how I got started searching for high quality platform bed plans. My goal is to help you guys out and save you a lot of time and effort and get you to the right spot quicker.

In this post, I want to go more into the actual platform bed building plans I used to make my son’s platform bed.  What I liked, what I didn’t and so forth.

Alright, let’s recap about my little platform bed project.  My son Andrew just graduated college and I offered to build him a platform bed for his apartment now that I have my own woodworking shop. So, I hunted around on the Internet for a set of really good platform bed plans to build my son’s bed from.

I tried a couple of the generic free platform bed plans and they did not turn out so well. Actually, there weren’t so great at all.  The plan I thought was the best resulted in a rickety and unstable bed that wasn’t solid and firm.  Now way my boy was going to sleep on that.

Ended up, I called up my woodworking buddy, Clayton for some advice.  This guy builds some of the best well made wood projects I’ve ever seen.  He sent me an email link to a website that had tons of high quality woodworking plans and was sure he had seen several high quality platform bed plans to chose from.  He said they weren’t free.  But at this point I didn’t care.  I just wanted a good set of woodworking project plans, period!

I tell you what! He sure nuff was right.  Not only did the site just have the simple platform bed plans I needed, hell it had thousands of plans.  Over 14,000 wood working plans to be exact.  Not only could I build a contemporary platform bed, I could make anything I wanted.  After my wife found out, she was like…”Good, now you can quit hiding in your little playroom workshop and build me some outdoor furniture for the garden.”  I just ignored her but I was now set for good with my platform bed plans and a whole lot more.  My own personal woodworking plan library all in one place.

I found some nice really bed building plans to choose from and spent a 1 day building the platform bed for my son.  And that time we ended up with a really nice, well made study bed.  And my son says it sleeps very comfortably.

But, I’m sure you are wondering what exactly made me choose those particular platform bed plans from that library?  Here are the pros and cons of my decision:

PROS:

• I had more than 1 option for platform bed designs all from one place
• The project plans were very detailed step-by-step instructions which a novice like me needed
• Extremely detailed diagrams that were labeled and matched back to the materials list
• The plans gave me the type of wood and exact tools I would need.
• Extensive library of over 14,000 woodworking plans!
• Plans were the highest quality but not designed just for professionals. They were easy for beginners like me.
• Lots of extras to use with the platform bed plans came with the site:  Woodworking tips, woodworking videos, list of DIY projects, woodworking guides, etc
• Instant access to the plans at anytime plus a 60 day money back guarantee if I didn’t like the library

CONS:

• Steep Price Tag!. A bit more than I wanted to pay.  But the whole library package was on sale at 1/2 off for $49.  That translates to less than .01 per plan.  I think it’s still on sale if you want to go see if it is.  I knew I wouldn’t see a woodworking library like this for that price again.
• I did find some of the other plans were a bit hard to read but soon learned that was the exception and not the rule.  The platform bed plans were absolutely perfect!

I had to thank old Clayton for turning me on to that library.  Maybe one day I will give him a run for his money!

Here are a couple of pictures using the Platform Bed Plans from the nice plan library.  These pictures are from Work In Process but I ended up adding side panels and drawers for storage.  Turned out very well.
