    Loft Bed

    This is my first woodworking project. I purchased a bunch of power tools including the BT3100 for this job. It really makes you feel good when you build something with your own two hands.

    Nice bed! Sure doesn't look like a first, though! I like the shaping on the top rails.

          Good job! It looks solids as a rock, you should be able to enjoy that project for a LONG time.

                  I got the plans from bunkbedsunlimited. I chose the "Tall Loft Bed Plans". I am very happy with it. I was rushing when I put on the poly and I only put one coat on. My next projects I think I will take my time and use higher grit sandpaper and put a couple more coats of poly on. There was just a lot of wood in this project.

                          It is a good feeling when you complete a project especially your first and you did an excellent job on yours. Congratulations.

                              Very nice job for a first. Matter of fact it's a very nice job for whatever number.
