		<description><![CDATA[Over the last couple weeks I&#8217;ve completed the construction of the side and end rails and cut the slats for supporting the mattresses. I also settled on somewhat novel connection hardware for the rails. Woodcraft sells a very inexpensive bed rail set bracket set that are nonetheless very sturdy and heavy duty.

		<description><![CDATA[Laying out the Ends Typically I find a detailed SketchUp drawing to be sufficient for my builds. For this project, however, I felt the need to do a full-size drawing to lay the components out on. After drafting an end on a 4&#215;8 sheet of MDF,  I started ripping down another MDF sheet to 6&#8243; &#8230; <a class="read-excerpt" href="http://tenonandspline.com/blog/archives/691">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a>]]></description>

I&#8217;ve replaced it with 1-1/4&#8243; tube steel posts extending from the head and foot of the top bunk, with angles that mimic the back &#8220;X&#8221;. &#160; UPDATED DESIGN &#8230; <a class="read-excerpt" href="http://tenonandspline.com/blog/archives/663">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a>]]></description>

Consequently I spent much time considering the design for the rosette on my first guitar build.

In the intervening days I&#8217;d decided I wanted to build one of the guitars from cherry.

		<description><![CDATA[A few years back I was conversing with a co-worker and fellow guitar player. Aware I was an amateur woodworker, he suggested I build a guitar. &#8220;Luthiery requires special tools and skills&#8230;training. Naw, I couldn&#8217;t do that,&#8221; I said. Google search.
