Post: RE: Beware EnduroVar II
That's too bad about the bad can.  I've never used EnduroVar II but like you, really liked the original EnduroVar. Based on your comments here a while back, I tried the Minwax Oil Modified.  It spr...

Post: RE: a wood to contrast with QSWO
My favorite light/dark combinations with white oak are wenge or mahogany. Wenge might be a bit too much dark if it is for a panel, but mahogany(veneer) would work well.

How about a smaller hole? I've been making several of these this year. They seem to be popular.  I use 1-1/4" rods and drill a 1" hole.  I round the rod ends over on my table saw.  They fit nice an...

How about something they can use with their phones/tablets? Google for images like "wood cell phone holder" or "wood tablet stand" You can make them for specific devices or in batches.

Post: RE: hidden hinge options?
The soss hinges do require depth.  That's not a problem on the cabinet side but for the door, may need to add a piece to the back to allow for more depth.

Post: RE: hidden hinge options?
Not hard, but careful measuring is necessary.  They come with a layout template.  They require routing a recess with two depths. It's a pretty solid hinge.

Post: RE: hidden hinge options?
The SOSS hinges are just for this kind of application.   They have a load table to help you decide which size and how many. They are nice and can handle heavy loads.   I used them for a maple slab do...

Right.. The support is the maple rail connected to the walnut feet with screws. The whole support piece is independent of the bed frame.

The beds I've made, I use a similar approach to CARYinWA, but my center support is not attached to the slats.  When the bedframe needs to be taken apart or moved, the center support can easily be remo...
