So little man outgrew his little convertible toddler bed thingie so I built him a bed that has storage under it and is quite sturdy. 3/4in Birch plywood which I then painted a color he picked out.

Here's the anthology of pix...

I used my saw guide and my trusty little 5-1/2in Skil Saw for most of it.

These bins will go in the storage spaces



The mattress...



Post Painting lol...



All painted and assembled

If I have a problem with it sliding off I'll get some small oak stock and make little tiny rails to keep the mattress on. The Painted surface was done with a roller and as such is sorta "bubbly" as I purposely didn't sand that part after the first coat so it's almost like grip tape.

Haha my oldest has those same sheets and looks kinda similar. Cool pics

pretty cool man.


also, i think it's funny when people take pictures of things on the ground and their feet are in the shot.

I can hear you son now ... "My daddy MADE my first bed"

Looks great, man. Quality build. Cute kid, too.

The bed looks great and it's really cool that you built it! He's gonna be one proud kid.

I can't wait to be a dad.

Nice Job

I would be a shitty dad.

This!

That looks awesome! First thing I thought was you should have made the storage into a horizontal 4x12 cab so your son can rock out
