Project has been derailed a bit:
Had our first child on 12/12, but now that things are starting to settle down, I am hoping to get closer to finishing the bed this weekend. All we need to do is a little bit of welding, and then it's time to take the unassembled bed to the media blaster and start prepping it for paint. Also, I found a wood worker who is going to make my bed floor for me for $15 an hour, plus the cost of materials.
I'm hoping to use natural maple for the floor (going for a modern look), and then stainless strips with hidden screws.
Anybody have anything creative for the strips, without having to spend an arm and a leg for something from chevsofthe40's or something?
A buddy of mine used these (waiting for him to get back to me and tell me what he used, I remember them being inexpensive though)
