Post Race!

Personally I'd rather have a race car bed. But that's just me.

I'm not getting the caption: "Would You Like To Date At Here..."

Yeah. Didn't see that until after I linked the post.

Definition of Boat: A hole in the water into which you pour money.

I... Want... That... Bed!!!!

Hopefully, it's a water bed.

On second thought, perhaps it shouldn't be a water bed. Maybe you don't want your boat filled with water when you want to engage in wreckless behavior.

Here is the Bed I made for my wife and I when we were first married.

It was made to hold a Queen size box spring and mattress.
It stood about 50" to the mattress surface.

The material was clear pine. 2" stock (1.5" dressed).

Head board and foot board were laminated 2x12"
Side boards were 2x12"
Legs were laminated 2x6"

I carved a heart and vines in both the head board and foot board.
I show it here in different woods just to show the construction.

It is a bit rough as I modeled this all from memory.

That's actually pretty romantic. Good for you, sir.

That was the intent.
She wanted one of those Paul Bunyan giant beds.
We couldn't afford one so I made this one for under $100.00 US.

I had to build a loose set of steps so she could climb in.

Turned out really nice.
When we sold it in a yard sale after 15 years it went for about $700.00. Not a bad profit.

I added the heart to my model. Should be a bit smaller though.

Dang, I'd say so. Have you considered going into the bed frame making business?

I don't like footboards. Mattresses are just too doggone short.

Cost of good wood these days is through the roof. So no. I'd have to charge too much.
Not to mention some place to build, Large power tools, Etc...

Maybe when I get that giant 3D printer...

Why have 3D when you could have 7D next year.

Inflation isn't high enough to get to 7D in a year. We'd be lucky to make it to 4D by next year, and Europe will be lucky if they can avoid sliding back to 2D by next year.

If Microsoft get involved we might jump straight to 10D

I love how it has 1 + 1 = 2 in the background.

I like the yellow cube even further in the background.

Dang! And I was just getting used to 3D chess.

Did I mention I came up with a spiral game of chess as a teenager?
Milton Bradley was not interested. (Go figure.)

You had a round board divided into eight segments and eight rings.
One of the radial lines was considered an edge of the board, so un-crossable.

You could set up the board two different ways.
1) Black and white back to back against the radial edge.
You played around the arc.
2) One side around the center and one around the edge.
You played radially.
In both versions the bishops spiraled in and out.
