Rather than wing it, at this stage (I know the limits of my own skills), so I began looking around for a set of plans to build my bunk bed[s]. To be honest, there are tons of places to get these plans, but just I couldn't find anything that I felt was complete. Now....before anyone gets upset, let me explain.
Most bunk bed plans out there in home project magazines and the like, are incomplete. They list the different styles and choices of beds, but I wanted to know the in's and out's of building a bunk bed and the very best way to construct one. I wanted to see a set of plans from someone who does this for a living and not just a weekend project. I wanted to see 'how' each part of the project was put together, which is what brought me to Ted's woodworking plans.
The first time I looked over what he has, I fell in love with his thinking. He works with wood for a living and his plans are complete. If you want the very best that's out there, but want something that is in plain, understandable English?
Buy his DVD set, I did. It is a place of not just how to build a bunk bed (or in my case, a set of bunk beds) but all of the steps one at a time. It was the complete 'how to' that I was looking for. Plus as an added bonus, there are all kinds of other woodworking projects. Not to brag, but since the bunk beds project, I have also built a toy box and coloring/reading book racks from the same source. Do you have to buy this to build your beds? Of course not. But if you want a job done right? This is the guy to go to... which I will share, but just not yet. The reason for that is this.... before you can get started... you really do need the right tools. So let's talk about that next.
Next up: Tools you will need.
