Camopjeep, GREAT job... I like those beds. Did you use a special machine or jig to do the joinery? One thing though... my three girls are grown now, but even when they were little their rooms were NEVER that clean. Boys I heard were even worse in that department. Tell me you cleaned up before the pics, right?

Again... great job. Lots of satisfaction from milling lumber and then using it in your house.

Beautiful job Camo. Thats what I need in my sons room, something stout. How thick were the boards and the battens? Very nice!

 

[camojeep]

there all 3/4 nailed the wall boards with 8cc nails and drilled the batten in the middle and drove a 16cc through that between the boards

i dont no about skilled

BTW, have a look at www.aspenlog.com the next time you need to justify more milling equipment. You'll be amazed at just how much $$$ rustic furniture like you just made is selling for.

 

[pyromaniac guy]

what size are the rooms? how long did it take you to mill everything for the walls? did you sticker and stack the boards, or just hang them wet and use the battens to cover up the shrinkage?

great job

 

[camojeep]

rooms are 10x13 i was on vacation for a week in the first of nov and got most of the wood milled at that time hung them wet and been running a dehumidifier in there for couple months boards gapped between 1 inch and 1.5 inchs so i cut the batten 2.5 giving it some more room if it shirks more i dont have a meter but they feel dry

How long would wood like that have to be dried before you could use it? I know temp and humidity matter but am just looking for a ballpark time frame.

 

[ASEMASTER]

nice work

the boys will be able to bounce of them walls and not hurt the walls, maybe a few bumped heads and skun elbows.
how does it smell down stairs?
