The Bob Mackie Home Signature King Size Sleigh Bed is a fresh twist on classic designs. The inspiration and story is the creative use of materials and veneer work. The finish is a beautiful Rosewood color with veneer details in Primavera, Ebony, Walnut Burl, Mahogany and Cherry. Black Granite, Antiqued Mirror and Golden color accents add depth, drama and sparkle to this collection.
Every night I would do one strip when I got home Signature King Size Sleigh Bed, one after dinner, and then one every hour until bedtime (to give the glue a chance to set). Each panel took about a week to put together, including ripping, bevelling and gluing. Then the fun begins. Bob Mackie Home You've got these nice big curved panels, but there's sawmarks, facets, and little offsets all over the place (so much for good intentions and careful clamping, eh?). I found the best thing to use was a good sharp hand scraper (ow my aching thumbs!). I scraped and scraped and scraped every night for a week to get both sides of each panel smooth. Lee Valley sells curved scrapers, and they work quite well once you get the hang of them. I also built a curved 'buckhorn' scraper (from FWW #118) to help smooth the panels. This worked pretty well, but I'm going to replace the blade in it with a thicker one to see if it makes a difference.
Ribbon, lace, feather and starburst motifs add the 'dare to be noticed' flair to this group. Custom designed jewelry-like hardware, pierced brass collars and brass feet on selected items add a fine, finished look to each piece.
The groove in the posts was plenty fun too. I used a morticing chisel and a Stanley #71 router plane on the prototype (it was just pine so it was easy to work). Bob Mackie Home Signature King Size Sleigh Bed The grooves on the bigger bed were roughed in using a template and a power router with a guide bushing. The worst part was that the panels were not exactly the same, nor were both ends of either panel the same. Close, but not close enough to cut a full-width groove with a router. And the thickness varied a bit from one point to the next. My solution was to make a template that was "close enough" to both ends of the panel, and route a 1/4 inch groove that could be widened to an exact fit. I scribed the edges of the panel onto the post and used some incannel gouges to work the groove out to the lines. This worked quite well, but I really hate that Craftsman router Signature King Size Sleigh Bed.
Bob Mackie Home Signature King Size Sleigh Bed is high style, but scaled for today's homes. From creating a gracious Master Bedroom to a casual Dining or Occasional setting, this collection addresses every room in the home.
The head & foot board crest rails on the Bob Mackie Home Signature King Size Sleigh Bed were going to be turned as three parts, a central portion (as long as I can make it on my small lathe) with holes bored into the ends, and two short extensions with tenons to match the holes. I figured I'd put a bead or two at the junctions to help hide them. However, when it actually came time to start turning I had had a bit more experience with the lathe and with boring [non] concentric holes in turnings, so I Bob Mackie Home Signature King Size Sleigh Bed decided that the job required a single turning. How was I going to make a 42 inch turning on a 36 inch lathe? A cheap crummy home-centre lathe at that. Ah, wait now... that cheap lathe has an interesting feature: no solid cast-iron bed! Instead there is a big steel tube that the rest & tailstock ride on. I disconnected the bed from the headstock and moved it over about Signature King Size Sleigh Bed a foot and bolted everything down to the lathe bench. Now I had a 48 inch lathe. If I had purchased an expensive ("better") tool I would not have been able to do this so easily! I was able to turn a pair of 42 inch crest rails on this setup with no trouble at all.
