If you are into woodworking, and have the basic tools and knowledge, these woodworking plans will enable you to build that bed that you have always wanted for your family and your home. Some of the bed plans listed, require basic lumber such as pine while others suggest the use of exotic lumbers. If you are new at wood working, consider building the bed using less expensive materials. Once you have honed your woodworking skills you can start working with the much more expensive exotic lumbers.
Always read the bed plans carefully and make sure that there is enough information provided for you to be able to complete the project - before you invest in materials. Some of the plans are excellent, giving a great deal of instruction in text, pictures and drawings while other plans are only drawings and still others are only sketches.
As well, some of the bed plans, require a woodworking shop that is outfitted with a good selection of stationary power tools such as lathes, shapers, jointers and thickness planers.
These bed plans are for the novice to expert woodworker.
