DIY Kids' Racing Car Bed - Woodworking Plans - Etsy

Plans and step-by-step instructions on how to build a Kids' Racing Car Bed. There are 16 pages in the downloadable PDF file. This detailed plan-set with step-by-step instructions is in both metric (mm) and imperial (inch) dimensions. There are clear plans, instructions, pictures, and drawings. This is a compact race car bed and is a good size for kids up to the age of 8 or so. It does not take up nearly as much room as a standard single bed, so it is ideal for a room where space is a premium. I made this for one of my grand-kids and it proved an immediate hit. I don't think I have ever seen a kid more proud of a bed. Sometimes there's a need for a parent to climb in next to their little one for a bit of a snuggle or two. This design allows for just that. Although this bed is compact, an adult can still lie next to their child as there are no feet barriers - hence, longer legs and the feet of a bigger person can hang past the front, unimpeded. It is made out of 3/4" (18mm) custom MDF board for the car frame, and 3/4" x 3 1/2' (90 mm x 19 mm) wood for the bed base. The size of it: The bed base is 63" (1575 mm) long and 28 1/2" (712 mm) wide. The overall size of the unit is 69¼" (1731mm) long, 31½" (787mm) wide, and 2ft (600mm) high. Wood List: In all you will need... # 6 lengths of 3/4" x 3-1/2" (90 mm x 19 mm) @ 8ft (2400mm) long. # 1-1/4 standard 8ft (2400mm) x 4ft (1200mm) sheets of 3/4" (18mm) custom MDF board. You will also need... an assortment of screws, nails, glue, along with paint and any other knick-knacks you might want to add.
