Starting at the end. Basically finished.

I had access to a CNC plasma cutter

All bent and powder coated steel parts

I went with a very pronounced texture powder coar

Another basic oak frame, similar the the other beds

All the wood parts in alder, finished and ready.

Beginnings of the panels

My brother is a pretty talented artist and he did these panels for me

All painted and clear coated

Starting assembly. This bed doesn’t hang from the ceiling since his room is in the basement with a lower height

All the parts coming together

Mounting up the alien paneks

Worked out pretty good

Some shelving on the end.

Ready for sleeping

I made a blanket fort for my kids once. They showed up at the restaurant an hour late for breakfast with me this morning.

Great work and all but honestly it looks like a shitty bed from my college dorm

It’s a fair critique. Hard to blend the artsy with industrial well.

This is a surprisingly common theme;)

Those beds would be a real pain in the ass to change the sheets. Maybe it's the mum in me.

It’s not that bad. But I also taught them to do it themselves.

When someone says “check out what I made in my spare time” and it’s like this... I might as well got back to crayons, glue and scissors.

Yes. But it’s only 50’ long. I had to scale it down to make it “practical”

Reason 1 to have kids: excuses to make things.

You have to do something with the madness acquired in the early years of diapers and sleep deprivation.

I am rich because of my kids. There isn’t enough characters to describe how I pulled this off with other people surplus/scrap.

These are off the charts. You seem to have a lot of spare time.

6 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Tv is the largest spare time suck in America. Take 1 hour a day of tv time and make memories.

Don’t be. My dad didn’t build fancy stuff for me, he just spent time with me, and I never doubted for a moment I am loved. That’s...

really all it takes. Everything else is (undoubtedly very nice) icing on the cake.

My dad didn't spend much quality time with me either.

I’m sorry about that :( If it’s something you want, maybe you could be a father (or father figure) to someone one day, and give what...
