Reply:Nice job.  I like the outlets. Cool idea.
Reply:That thing is awesome! Good proportions with the size of the square tubing. The fit and finish appear to be top notch. Just how heavy is it going to be to move? It doesn't look light.HTP Invertig 221Hypertherm Powermax30 XPPlus other stuff
Reply:I all ways wanted to make a new iron bed ,just never got around to it .The addition of  an electric wench would work well with the D rings on the ceiling and the material vibrator under the matress. !!!

Reply:Really nice! I've been thinking of making one for some time now.  I was afraid that 4" tubing would be too big to look good but I was wrong.  What wall thickness did you use?GravelThe difference between theory and practice is that in theory there is no difference.

Reply:Thanks I think it turned out pretty good. It was all 1/8 wall. I would have gone thinner but it wasn't available at the time. 5" or 6" would have been cool to but it's heavy enough as it is lol Originally Posted by GravelReally nice!

Reply:Originally Posted by Mikel_24I got to say I am somewhat dirty myself!It is a matter of compromises... it might interfere with other elements you might need to install in the bedroom. Such as a bed size mirror stuck in the ceiling!Yes I do have one. No, I didn't post it before because it was not welding related. And the best of all is that I built and installed everything else but... my father in law supplied and glued the mirror!And since you guys won't probably believe me...Wooden structureInstallation in progressMy Dad (with glasses) and my cousin helping out supporting the structure. I am the ugly guy with the white shirt looking funny (to say the least)So as not to ask them to stay put for say, 20 minutes, we supported the wooden structure using a masonry tool I borrowed from a friend. It is spring loaded. We used six of them if I recall correctly. I am installing one in this picture.Structure installed, as well as the indirect ligthing.Mirror glued in place and waiting for the product to cure. My father in law didn't want it to fall on us (probably worried about her daugther mostly) and used a high strength mirror glue. Like a full tube or so.Test picture (somewhat). This reminds me I still need to remove the piece of masking tape you see on the ceiling! Mikel

Reply:There's a piece of 2x2 going across the center with a foot on it but the foot isn't really needed and the 3/4 plywood is supported around the perimeter with 6" pieces of 1x1 square tubing Originally Posted by BigteeWhat did you use for supports across the frame?
