Woodwork project... bunk beds!

[hippolyta_hero]

Kk, so I joined a woodwork class eight weeks ago and my project has been making 1/6 bunk beds! I've made three of these babies - they came out pretty big and substantial and I've only made the bedding for this set so far. I wanted them for dorm type set ups for a photostory I'll be doing soon featuring a basketball team! So yeah.. first I need

The beds are awesome! Well done. My Scene had basketball clothing. Could you not just buy some of them and customize them?

Ooh - now this sounds an interesting suggestion! I wasn't really looking forward to making basketball uniforms... Right, I'm off to investigate ...

[lovehaze]

Ooh, good job! They look really realistic and well done. Can't wait to see what else you make!

Thank you! I already have the next two projects lined up! Heheh. Only thing is next term doesn't start till September. I might have a go by myself but I dunno how successful I'll be without a kindly tutor pointing me in the right direction!

The beds look great! I guess repainted Barbie beds would be too girly hey? Evil twin certainly looks evil; my youngest suggest you name him Eagle. Of course this is the same child that, as a toddler, named her little grey stuffed kitty, "Little grey kitty", so you can see that ten more years haven't changed her naming strategies much ;-D
Does a basketball team mean more action shots? That could be fun!
Thanks for continuing to share your stories, they always brighten my day.

Thanks Susan! And for youngest's suggestion of a name! Lol - I don't think that's half bad actually although he might think he's really bad-*ss if I gave him such a cool name so I'm not going to encourage him!

Still collecting props at the moment for the basketball theme story which is really fun getting all the guy stuff. XD Thanks for sticking by me.

The beds are great! I love bunk beds so much, me and my sister had one for years and I'd like to have one now too. Ours was simple too with a similar ladder so this one looks very real. They never make bunk beds for dolls but they should :)
Have you started your next classes already? Because I'd like to see more woodworking from you :)
I really like the guys in the pics and the last photo is great.

Unfortunately my Monday night class got cancelled! :( I can't do the Wednesday night they're offering instead as I already do my mandarin class that night - grrrr. However, I do intend carrying on with woodwork and need to try and bribe my Dad into doing some Sunday afternoon projects with me... he's a carpenter and joiner but doesn't like teaching T___T However, he has indicated that he might put aside some time in the new year... fingers crossed. sigh.

That just sucks :( But please try to do something on your own, the start was great! And I hope your dad will teach you, that would be really nice, I'll keep my fingers crossed too.
