A bed is one of the most significant pieces of furniture in most
homes, ranking with the dining table as a major purchase or project.
Jeff Miller, winner of the 1998 Stanley Award for best woodworking
book (
Chairmaking & Design, now out of print), offers nine
attractive bed projects accessible to woodworkers of any skill level.
In Beds, you'll find step-by-step projects for a small bed, a
Shaker-style bed, a Craftsman-style bed, a pencil-post bed, a plywood
platform bed, a Windsor chair inspired bed, a modern "city" bed, a
sleigh bed, and a bunk bed. You're sure to find more than one project
that will inspire you.
Miller provides you with:
- Clear step-by-step instructions to build each bed
- Cut lists that make it easy to get each bed started
- Exploded and measured drawings that show every detail
- A chapter on general construction strategies for building any
bed design
- A wide range of jigs for mortising, tenoning, and other common
tasks
