/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>1546583
Your not the first to ask that question. a lot of the reasons for this particular design are not super obvious, and of course there are a few self wank choices as well, but i might as well have some fun with it.

>What's the Point of all that craftsmanship

I honestly don't know what your referring to, as the design, while over built, is not inherently complex, nor does it require any crazy skill to tackle. Its all lamination, half laps, and ledges. no fancy tenons, no Japanese scarf joint madness. Yes, you could just throw some 2x4s across and be done, but when you put effort into something that you don't "need", it's just that, EFFORT. My mattress is on two hollow core doors currently, and that works fine for sleeping, but its trashy and not the best setup for "activities". The point was to build a bed that met all my requirements of a bed.

>But I don't see a headboard

True, though that's because I'm building it last so i can concentrate on getting the bed into the room first. Once again, hollow core doors and all.
The headboard will be nice and feature packed by my standard, but visually reserved when compared to some of the Brobdingnagian creations you see on the high end. Also not there is the breather board that sits on top which the mattress rests on.
