Another Bed
As it turns out, making a nice bed out of wicked bad knotty pine is about as hard as making a nice Sunday School class out of wicked bad naughty boys.
Here's my best effort. The wood gave me fits. I sanded, I stained, and I sanded some more but at the end of the day I was dissapointed. To add insult to injury, my daughter, Mary, for whom the bed was made, still prefers to sleep on the floor.
Lesson learned: don't trust the fella's at Ace hardware to lash the best wood to the roof of your car.
But it was still fun to make.

She prefers the floor? I think it looks great!
I think the floor feels cool so she likes to be down there. Not sure though.
Wow, Michael - you are on fire with making those beds! I think this one looks great! It looks like something that you'd find in a lodge or something.
Michael, maybe one reason you guys were supposed to be in AS is so that you could get training for your custom made furniture store you'll open up when you get back, lol. Jimmy's grandma was Elizabeth Bates. She wrote Pioneer Children Sang as They Walked and Book of Mormon Stories. The thing was that she was completely blind and had been for like 30 years when she wrote them. I think she was like 32 or something when she lost her sight. When she could see, she loved music and was a piano teacher. She said that she started writing her own music because they didn't have sheet music for the blind and she wanted to play songs. She said that if she was still sighted, she wouldn't have had the need to write her own stuff and she would have been intimidated by all the music everyone else had written. So!! Maybe being in AS is like being blind for you :) You're getting to practice skills that you haven't had the need to before, huh?
Good insights, Jan. We certainly are learning a lot down here. Want to buy a bed?
