Styrene Tubing "Brass Bed"

The list of materials:
Styrene Tubing, I used 3/16,3/32 and1/8, but other sizes are available, I got mine at http://www.hobbylinc.com/
wire, assorted beads, glue and wax paper

You can find tons of ideas for your bed on the internet, and bed sizes are easy to come up with. Draw the bed you want to build and cover the drawing with waxpaper. You can then have a guide to build your bed. Curved pieces are easier than they look, the tubing will bend, just put some weights on it after you glue.


If you want to put beads on the spindles, use wire inside the tubing, frst cut the wire to the size you want and add the beads and tubing.


I used Skinny Sticks for the wood slats
