I hate to say it but...it depends. Your location and species will be the biggest variables.

The design is very minimal in regards to total square board feet. Most of the board footage of lumber would actually be in the rails that support the bed. This can also vary a lot depending on whether you are building a full wooden frame or simply dressing a metal frame with wood.

Thank you for the excellent reply! They don't show any other photos of that particular bed frame, but there's a similar one that I would use for designing the bottom. And yes, no cherry wood in the slats.

I would probably want the boards to be as ready to go as possible, since I'm just buying tools and clamps on a per project basis as I slowly build out workshop.

Have you talked about your wedding with coworkers? I made the mistake of saying I had to leave work a little early one day because I was going to do a tasting at my venue. That starts a debate on why one shouldn’t get married, how much wedding costs & what a waste it is, dresses are stupid because you only wear them once, etc. I haven’t talked about my wedding much, but I didn’t appreciate this. I ignored the negative comments and we moved the conversation along. Not talking about that anymore!

Don’t want to drive 700 miles per week M-F. What will dual model be like going forward? 1-2 times week, 4-5 month? Seems like tax was more flexible than audit pre-Covid

Has anyone built a barn home? Would you be interested in talking about the process, costs, and considerations? We're looking at that and would be interested to better understand how to get going.

Not that I’ve worn ties much in the last year, but I made this to get a bit more organized. The pegs are actually bolts for door hinges that I cut down. $1.25 for a 4 pack kept this whole thing under $10
