Simple Platform Bed Plans | My Search

Hi, Carl here.  If you are looking for the type of platform bed plans not to use, please continue to read.  My goal is to SAVE YOU TIME and EFFORT and FRUSTRATION.

If you are like me, you want to find some plans quickly. So you could get started on the project.  Well, I dug around on the Internet and found a handful of free woodworking plans I figured would be fine.

After my first couple of tries, I knew the bed wasn’t going to work out.  Andrew climbed up on the bed to test it out.  The beds just weren’t sturdy enough.  They were wobbly and the bed slats on 1 of the beds didn’t hold up.  The culprit was the platform bed plans that came free didn’t recommend enough screws to hold the slats in place. I just tore the beds down and scrapped the wood for fire kindling.

I called a more experienced woodworking buddy of mine that I know to get his advice.  I knew he made top quality stuff and even sold a few pieces of his work.

He told me to throw those free plans away and he would email me a link for a library of woodworking plans he uses for all his projects.  And he was certain that library contained some high quality premium platform bed plans.

I couldn’t believe what I saw after looking at the library of plans Clayton suggested.  It had oodles of high-quality woodworking plans for just about anything you wanted.  They contained perfectly clear diagrams, step-by-step instructions, the tools you needed, measurements and even the types of suggested wood for what you wanted to make.

I ended up using those platform bed plans and they made the job much easier.  And much simpler too!

Look for my next post soon that will include a picture of the finished platform bed.  Until then, have a great rest of your weekend………………………Carl
