Define "floating" - if you mean to say "attached only to the wall", then that's really unrealistic. I suspect that's not the case, though. You should be able to get bed frame hardware pretty easily that allows you to connect the frame either by slotted fasteners or conventional angle brackets. The bottom box can be assembled pretty easily this way, notch out the box for horizontal slats, if you notch your exterior frame/band boards, the left/right band boards should sit directly on top of the slats, and then fasten the headboard/foot band directly to the left right boards again with bed frame hardware. You may decide to run a screw from each slat into the band board notch to keep it from moving.
Yup, just 'floating' as an illusion. I like the notch idea on the lower box, that way it just falls in place on top. Am I correct?
*fwiw - I may go with this setup here. Seems easy to follow can I can probably get most of the wood cut at home depot and bring everything home to sand, stain, seal and assemble.
Wood builders, have any of you attempted to build yourself a floating platform bed? Considering on taking on this task in the new apt, while also keeping it to were I can disassemble during the next move with out having it built as 1 giant piece. bed frame, box, back board?
Think ouch. Think bruised shins.
I have a feeling you'll regret choosing that style when you bump into the sharp corners in the middle of the night.
My old waterbed frame is a floating bed. Hell, I'd give it to ya if shipping wouldn't make it impractical.
Anyway, it uses 4 pieces of plywood for the base, held together with aluminum extrusions. Inside, there is an "x" made of two boards joined by a half lap joint like this pic:
except all the plywood boards are up on edge. It held up a queen size waterbed with no issues for many years.
Edit: those plans you linked to are way overkill. This thing is a bed, not a backyard deck.
I didn't sleep soundly last night. I was worried about what these people are doing and to whom. So many different aspects and individual incidents. I am troubled in my soul. I can't seem to explain it any other way. I've typed and erased things because the words didn't suffice.
Apparently the child sex/occult/cannibalism thing among some circles of powerful people has been around for awhile. Money and influence seems to make it disappear from public view. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankl...ng_allegations
The Franklin child prostitution ring allegations took place between 1988 and 1991 and involved an alleged child sex ring serving prominent citizens of Nebraska, as well as high-level U.S. politicians.[1] The allegations also claimed that the alleged sex ring was led by, "a cult of devil worshipers involved in the mutilation, sacrifice and cannibalism of numerous children."[1] The allegations centered on the actions of Lawrence E. King Jr., who ran the now defunct Franklin Community Federal Credit Union (FCFCU) in Omaha, Nebraska.[2]
One of the kids related to this case was a famous one on a milk carton, according to my wife. She listens to the "My Favorite Murder" series of podcasts and watches all of those forensic shows on tv.
