| This design has been made both
functional and attractive by use of pattern cutouts
in head and foot uprights, which serve as ladders.
Since most children love to climb, getting them
to bed will be less of a chore.We'll start with
the cutting list that you will need to make these
bunk beds. You can find the rest of how to make
these bunk beds below through these pages on the
left of the page.
INSTRUCTIONS
(1) Lay out parts on plywood panels as shown. Allow
for saw kerfs between
parts.
(2) Cut plywood parts to exact size. Cut puts are
made by drilling holes at
inside of each corner and removing material with
a sabre saw of keyhole
saw.
(3) Next, cut all bunk rails and cleats to proper
length. Make a 1/2" dado on
all inside rails 1 1/2" from the top edge.
Then rip foot rails only to a
width of 2" and notch side rails for 2"
x 2" cleats as shown in detail 1.
(4) Glue and nail dadoed side rails to end rails
and bottom "E". Drill
matching holes for3/16" bolts in 2" x
2" cleats on uprights and fasten
with glue and 1 1/2". No. 8 wood screws.
