Knockdown Childs Bed
 

Hi guys,
I was wondering if anyone has drawn up knock-down plans or know a good source that makes these beds? I would like to make one for my brothers boy as a surprise. I have looked and looked on the web but can't seem to find somewhat of a decent design that I could cut out.
Any help would be appreciated.

Search for FABRICE on this forum. He does excellent work. Send him a picture and very soon at a reasonable price you will have your dxf file

I've got this in AutoCad or dxf. I made it for my son (the old way, templates & router) but is perfect for cnc. It fits a regular crib mattress, but would be easy to scale up for a twin. Here is a link to the file torrent.

Thanks Leko but Im not sure the link is working?

hmmm, well I'll check that. Till then if you want it, email me & I'll send. BTW you need to open the link with a torrent client like utorrent.

I also reverse engineered (pun intended) a train table like this

I have fixed all the files.

Thanks Mike :)

hi james
does your nephew read this forum ?
if not, i can show picture here

Fabrice no he doesn't read this forum. I think he knows about maybe 30 words right now :)
He's 6 but go ahead and post away.
Good to hear from you again.

Beat regards,
James

here we go

verdict ?

Winner!
Chicken dinner.

Very nice Fabrice.

Fabrice, you are a true artist!

But it will use too much material & hence costly to my liking. Maybe less cross bearer.

Or make the cross bearers from a solid wood like pine or similar? (straight square sided planks that dont need to be cut on the cnc)

Nested parts and it will take 3 sheets of ply.

Thanks Fabrice. I am changing a few things but its perfect nonetheless.

you can say thanks to kobus to point you to me
hope we can see pictures of real build soon

Je vais prendre des photos du lit fini bientôt. Mon frère aime la façon dont le lit a l'air. Je vous remercie beaucoup.

Looks Great. My nephue is into SkyLanders. I have no clue what it is.

My only suggestion is to make the Backboard a few inches taller so the sign can be seen above the pillows.

Russell I didn't know what they were either until about a week ago when my brother came down. He brought all his skylander action figures and asked me if I could make my nephew anything on the machine. I made a few things already. Stood in line at "Toys R Us" for a chance to pick up the new batch of characters... First time I have ever done that in my life. The things we do for kids :rolleyes:

Here is some pictures of the two things I cut out.
1st pic is their logo
2nd pic is his favorite character and the grooves glow in the dark

Cool ! :cool:
