Anyway, many months ago I pulled it apart to change it from a single to a double. This meant making it an eight-poster (because that was the easiest way to make it wider).
I did a quick 3D model in Blender to plan out how I was going to make it ...
My planning didn't avoid a couple of "challenges" along the way. I forgot that I'd originally made the bed head higher than the foot. I also found in putting it together that I'd originally (accidentally) made the side rails along the top 1 inch shorter than the bottom rails. Now I know why it had never gone together well as a single bed!
The biggest challenge was when I tried to assemble it all myself, resulting in falling and crashing and breaking and undoing of quite a bit of work.
This time around Jesamine helped me to assemble it (Jesamine also did most of the staining and lacquering of the new components).
And here it is - all finished ...
