Need plans for toddler bed

[BasementJunkie]

I'd like to build a bed for my son, who's ready for a toddler bed (big enough to hold a regular crib mattress).

I'd like something relatively simple but will look nice, last years, and be very safe. I've been woodworking for ~ 1 1/2 years and have a decent TS, workbench, and an assortment of tools but no band saw, drill press, jointer, etc., so there are some limitations to what I can do.

Anybody have recommendations for where to get plans or pictures of beds they have made?

Not having a lot of the tools such as BS, Jointer, planer, etc I would suggest that you stick with a mission/arts&crafts style. This will avoid the need for a lot of the machinery and allow you to buy your stock S4S.

Where are you located? You need to find a wood dealer than can 4S4 the material for you.

Beds like this are very simple. Headboard, footboard and a couple rails. Rockler, WC, LV, etc all have nice bed rail systems that are easy, accurate, strong and make the bed easy to move.
