Day 15 of Japandi bed frame project.

I've done 3 coats of oil now (span of several days). Steel wool rubbing in between coats. Also oiled the slats twice, which might've been a mistake.

What do y'all think, will the oil in the slats eventually seep into and ruin my cotton futon?

Day 14 of the Japandi bed frame project.

The frame needed a lot of sanding naturally. I also finally prepared all 16 slats. All ready for oiling!

Day 12 of Japandi bed frame project.

Decided to work more on the legs to get them to more consistent thickness. Then a bunch of filler to the seams and holes.

Then managed to attach the legs! Went for a slightly different attachment method than planned, seems like a solid choice.

Day 11 of Japandi bed frame project.

The legs didn't get a lot of attention yet, so today was the day to straighten them. They're still not absolutely flat but maybe good enough? 🤷‍♂️

Day 10 of Japandi bed frame project.

Attached two pieces on the sides which will support the slats. These will carry some weight and there's no need to ever disassemble them, so glue and wood screws it is.

Also started filling up some gaps with wood filler and sawdust&glue.

Day 9 of the Japandi bed frame project.

Drilled in the attachments and the outer frame is in one piece now! In the last photo, the tools I used to drill and drive the attachments.

Day 8 of Japandi bed frame project.

Been waiting for screws and threaded inserts to arrive, but they're here now and I needed to finish fitting the joinery.

Realized the file is probably my best tool to flatten those lap joints. Pretty happy with them now.

Day 7 of the Japandi bed frame project.

I'm cutting the joints now, first roughly with the circular saw and then easing into the final dimensions with a chisel.

The frame is upside down in the photo. Finally starting to see how everything fits together!

Day 6 of the Japandi bed frame project. I got a jointer plane (No. 7) and for the first time ever managed to sharpen the blade actually sharp.

Started getting some nice shavings and of course I should've had this sort of plane from the beginning of this project.

Day 5 of the 2x4 Japandi bed frame project.

My futon mattress arrived a week early. There's still probably 2 weeks of work left with the frame. A couple pieces left to plane before I can properly cut the joinery.

An observation on my daily #woodworking YouTube rabbit hole:

Search "painting furniture" and get videos made mostly by women.

Search "oiling furniture" and get videos made mostly by men.

Why is that? 🤔

Day 4 of the bed frame project.

Planing is my life now.

Day 3 of Japandi bed frame project.

I got the second leg glued together. Planing the legs is going to be a big job, but I put them aside to wait for the frame.

Then I hand planed one of the frame end planks straight. It's pretty slow but rewarding work. Just keep checking and marking and planing.

Day 2 of bed frame project.

Ended up creating a model of the bed in Fusion 360. Didn't really need it for this project, but wanted to practice my 3D-modeling skills.

The legs will be these bed-width planks, which I'll make by joining two 2x4s together, and I already started with one leg.

Day 1 of the first real furniture project I'm doing in my own garage.

A Japandi style bed frame made mainly out of 2x4 and 2x2 timber. This stuff is not exactly straight but it'll have to do.

Today I made a quick sketch to confirm the main dimensions and cut the timber roughly to size.

Got one smaller project done. Two shelves for plants. Found these shelf brackets I wanted to use, wasn't sure if they would work for corner shelves.

Then I cut a couple different sized shelves from a bamboo sheet, leaving a cutout in the corner.

French cleats are finally attached. Now I can start designing and building tool holders. First priorities are clamps, power tools and pliers, everything that's difficult to place on the pegboard.

I could use some ideas. What's your favorite tool holder? Please share a photo!

How the hell do I find interesting people here? The Discover algorithm doesn't seem to respond to anything I do here, it's still kind of stuck with the choices I made during account creation.

I guess I already got used to the quick moves #Threads algorithm makes.

Fresh French cleats ready to be attached on my garage wall.

Managed to make these relatively accurately without a table saw, just with some circular saw jigs and hand tools. Still learning this stuff, and every new kind of cut needs active thinking.

I wanna see the movie posters you have on your walls!

Just got the "Dual" poster to complement "The Lure". While both of them are decent films in their own ways, neither are really among my favorites.

Did you know that if you tap to share a song on Spotify, you might see some extra #SpotifyWrapped stats about it.

I need ideas. I want a second film poster next to The Lure on my teal wall.

Something visually appealing, color needs to match and bonus points if the movie is actually any good.

So many cat photos on my feed. Cats are fine, but Bluesky needs to learn I'm more of a dog person.
