Preparation for work

Any furniture made in a truly Japanese style is reliable and at the same time simple; it takes a minimum of materials and time to assemble it. But before you make a bed in the Japanese style with your own hands, it is recommended to prepare a set of necessary materials, components, tools. It is enough to buy everything in advance from the list. Their quantity is calculated on the basis of a detailed drawing, because it always indicates the necessary dimensions.

We will make a simple bed with the following dimensions:

• The length of the foot, the head - 1.6 m.
• The length of the sidewalls is 2.08 m.
• The height of the headboard part is 1.5 m.
• The height of the base of the foot is 1.2 m.
• The height of each leg is 0.3 m.

Important! The length and width of the berth are largely determined by the already purchased new or existing old mattress. If you have not purchased it yet, then you can make a bed of any size, taking into account personal needs, wishes, dimensions.

Visit a building materials store in advance to purchase:

• Ready-made furniture panel or board with a thickness of 50 mm - it is better to give preference to beech or use pine wood.
• A bar with a cross section of 50 by 50 mm.
• A block of wood with a cross section of 20 by 20 cm for the manufacture of legs.
• Fiberboard sheet.
• Plywood sheet 1.5 cm thick.
• For the manufacture of slats for the mattress, thick furniture logs of 2.5 cm.
• The middle beam for the lag.

Important! As for decorative finishes, here you can fully be guided by your preferences, personal taste. Japanese style is characterized by dark flowers, the use of natural materials. That is why the bed frame can be painted with dark blue or black paint. To leave the natural color of wood, you can use a colorless stain.

Additional tools and materials:

• If you like everything unusual, then you can take a bold step, decorate the headboard of your bed with tapestry or artificial leather. In this case, in addition to the fabric, you have to buy a special thin foam rubber for furniture. It can be used as a softener.
• Also stock up on fasteners. To assemble a Japanese-style bed with your own hands, you still need screws, wood bolts.
• Tools such as a square, a centimeter tape measure, and a building level will also be useful to you.
• This work cannot be done without an electric planer, a hacksaw or an electric jigsaw, a screwdriver, a drill, a whole set of drills that are designed specifically for wood, a grinder or several options for sandpaper with different degrees of granularity.
• If you intend to paint the bed, be sure to buy rollers, brushes or a paint spray.

Only after such thorough preparation can you get to work.

The process of processing and assembling a Japanese bed

Do-it-yourself Japanese furniture is made in several stages. Remember that the quality, durability, reliability, service life of the future product depends on how well you do everything on each of them.

Production Instruction:

• First of all, process all the blanks for the assembly of the bed. With a plane, remove all irregularities, protrusions, defects from the boards. Given the fact that according to the drawings, the thickness of the boards should not exceed 4 cm, you will have to remove the extra layer of wood.
• Then start preparing the legs. Japanese beds, as a rule, have legs of insignificant height, not more than 30 cm. But here it is also necessary to take into account your own needs. From the boards already processed, cut the blanks to make four legs.
• Cut out the details of the head, foot, skirting of the frame. It is important that the foot of the width was more than the head by 8 cm.
• Form the corner cuts at an angle of 45 degrees, since the rear edge will have to be inserted between the side elements.
• Make the same bevels on the front ends of the sidewalls. It is easier to do this with the help of a square.

Important! If you can’t make a straight cut straight away, then refine it with a plane.

• Given that the frame should be rectangular, it is better to use corners to give it a perfect shape, strength, reliability. You can use furniture legs as corners. On the workpiece, mark the middle, then select the wood from the top, form a groove. In depth and height, it should correspond to the parameters of the side panel.
• Carefully sand all workpieces, remove burrs, bumps.
• Assemble the frame using self-tapping screws.
• Secure the ribs from the inside with bolts.
• Pull the entire structure in the middle of the longitudinal beam to give it extra strength. You can make this beam from a metal bar or a thick bar.
• Then the rack base of the mattress and the headboard are attached.
• At the final stage, the entire bed is sanded, painted or stained, and varnished from above. In addition, the softener is glued, the upholstery is attached to the head.
