I been doing an open shop at the Eliot School and this week I started building a pair of toddler beds for my two girls.

Tonight I milled a 10' board that was 2" thick down to 8 posts.
Update: Night 2... jointed all of the rails so that once face was flat and then ran them all through the planer, making them all equal thickness. Then I switched to starting the mortises on the posts but only got part way through and will now have to try and get the same setup on the machine next week.
Update: Night 3 and 4... finished drilling the mortises and then cut all of the tennons. I've fitted the tennons to the mortises on the footboards. Here's one dry fitted. It almost looks like a real bed!
