My Wood Working Plans

Platform beds have become very popular in the past couple years, especially since they have been featured on many home decorating shows. It is no wonder since a platform bed adds style to any bedroom without the cost other more complicated beds have.

Platform beds plans have also become very popular. Many woodworkers, especially beginners, have taken on this type of project since the simple design of a platform bed is something even a novice can build. Of course, even a platform bed can become more complex. Adding decorative features like a headboard can make building a platform bed more difficult.

Finding a set of platform bed plans can take time. I hear from people all the time who are trying to find a “nice set of free platform bed plans”. Often I am shocked to hear that some have spend several hours scouring the internet looking for just the right set of bed plans. Make things easy on yourself and get your platform bed plans or any plans for that matter from a professional. The cost for a good set of wood plans from a pro is between $8 and $12. However for that small amount of money you get a set of plans that has been tested and re-tested to make sure they are accurate. Think about how much it will cost if you make a mistake cutting because the free plans you found weren’t tested. Quite a bit more then $10.

But the cost of the plans isn’t the only factor. With the extensive testing a professional set of plans goes through the actual design of the bed itself is better. When creating a large project the joinery used in the build is critical to the finished quality of the piece. Testing will reveal any defects in the plans long before you start the project.

I have researched and found platform bed plans that are tested. They have been designed by experienced wood workers and tested to death in the shop. So save yourself the time and headaches and get a professional set of plans.
