The New Bunk Bed

For Christmas we had many hopes and dreams that we could have the boys in the new bunkbed. But we didn't have it done in time for Kings day. There was a lot of work to be done with all the sanding and routering and cutting and finishing. So a week later, the beds are up!


Ta Da! Finished product. We had lots of help in assembling which ended with lost bolts & hammers and the boys spending the rest of the set up time in the crib together.



The coolest part of this all are the joints that hold it all together. Lee has been building and aligning what is termed a "pantarouter" which allows for such perfect fancy joints.  See him in action, its only a minute:
This is the joints now they are finished. Pretty cool.

  2. Hey, a new post AND an updated blog layout! This one is much more visually appealing to read. :)
    Beds look great! I wasn't able to watch the video either, but I'm so glad the pantarounter works! Now all we need is for Matt to assemble his too.
    All looks great! I thought the bunk beds were for the boys...but the only kid in the pictures was Eliora? Does she want new fancy bunk beds too??
