hello again...to my five followers

Hmmmm....has it really been three months? Oops. Sorry about that.

When my little sister was in high school, she took one semester of industrial arts. I remember teasing her, but she picked up some pretty nifty skills. Check out her new project courtesy of the plans available at Knock-Off Wood. Below is her story.

Here are the pictures of us building our bed. It took us a Saturday and Sunday to build, and then exactly one week to wood fill, sand, stain, and lacquer. We have been sleeping on it since last Saturday and love it!!! We now own a miter saw, air compressor, and nail gun. Yippee!
I will likely put my 1 semester of high school wood shop to good use and spend a large portion of my summer building while Matt's at work.
The first photo is the lumber and the second photo is the finished bed. Sleep tight!
