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?

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

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.

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? 🤷♂️

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

Search "painting furniture" and get videos made mostly by women.
Search "oiling furniture" and get videos made mostly by men.
Why is that? 🤔

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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