From a distance…

… I think this could be confused for a crib!

Last night I did the final test assembly of the frame.  And it actually went together!  I’m thrilled.

This morning I put the spring and mattress in.  I figured I better do that before I do the finishing.  It’s no use finishing it if the mattress doesn’t fit!  But it does.

Now, what I don’t understand is the hardware kit.  The mattress has 5 heights.  Which means 5 holes per leg.  I’d expect 20 inserts.  I only found 18.  So, I went to get the packing slip to see if I had lost two.  No, the packing slip only showed there should be 18.  How does that work?  18 isn’t evenly divisible by 4.  I’ve emailed the hardware supplier.  We’ll see what they say.

I’ve also filtered the shellac this morning too.  Just for reference, liquids do not pour well from a peanut butter jar.  So, I made a bit of a mess, but it’s filtered.

All that’s left now is to take it all apart and shellac it!
