Twin Bed Drawers

We decided the queen bed in the corner bedroom was way too large for the space, so I set out to design and build a single twin with storage under it.  

The Twin mattresses we found were 37-1/2" wide by 75" long.   The frame's 75-1/2" length, with two interim support frames, will require 3 drawers, each 24-1/2" wide and 12-1/4" high.   That leaves a little space above/below and side to side for each drawer.   The drawers will have a picture frame front but will be flush with the bed frame instead of overlap.   Each drawer front will have a pine inset panel with a 1" wide frame around it.

Edge joining resawn 1/8" pine panels.

The edge of the 1/8" pine panel as its being edge joined to another.

All 3 edge joined panels, ready to sand.   Notice, some of the knots are gone, we'll have to do something about that.
