Trundle Bed | S6 E5

A useful space-saving piece of furniture, the trundle bed is perfect for sleep-overs. The top bed is low enough for kids to climb onto easily, while the trundle rolls out smoothly on casters. Constructing the bed presents an opportunity for Norm to demonstrate a variety of mortise and tenon joinery techniques. Once built, he paints the curved-headboard frame, made of poplar and plywood, with a non-toxic latex enamel, sealing the maple features with a satin polyurethane for a natural wood accent.

I built this trundle bed 20 years ago and it is still in use today. A very strong bed.

"If you'd like to build one for your children, your grandchildren or even for yourself..." You *had to say it didn't ya. Now I want one for me. :)

I wish more makers would take lessons from The New Yankee Workshop on how to describe and show what they build.

[@NeverStopRolling]

I used to watch this show at my grandma's house 20 years ago, haven't thought about it until now.
I'm glad some things stay the same.

6:45 i can't tell, is that just the line showing up due to the light being from a different angle, or is that already cut?

[@newyankeeworkshop]

That's Norm's pencil mark on where to cut the curved edge.
