Footboards: DONE!

Bed #2 is well underway. After getting all the cuts done last week, every couple days I've tried to get some assembly work done. Hubby helped out a bit by lining everything up for one of them too and I got to play with all the glue and clamps again - and yep I used the giant manly man weights again lol.

Hubby and I did a bit of teamwork on these footboards to get the sanding all done. We finished sanding tonight and got the sides and tops put on just in time for our neighbors not to hate us lol, it was only 930 PM :). Much better then the midnight that we finished bed #1.

Hopefully tomorrow the rails, slat supports, and the slats can be sanded. Then we can paint and clear coat. Maybe by this weekend we'll be ready for that. We are going on a road trip on Saturday to VT though, so we may not have time. We will see.

Here is one of the completed footboards:


And while it may seem weird that I did 2 footboards, it makes sense when you know that the original plan I'm working with from Knock-Off Wood is creating 2 twin beds and each twin normally has a tall headboard and a short footboard. but in order to convert it into a bunk bed - the bottom bunk uses 2 headboards and the top bunk uses 2 footboards. So the completed pink/purple bed is the one with the 2 headboards, and this one we're almost done with is the top bunk.

Here they are lined up in my hallway, excuse the giant pile of laundry lol.


That's it for now :). Stay tuned!
