   What type are you looking for?
   I made this one recently for a friend, I don't have any plans but I made a few notes while building it. If your looking along these lines I'll be happy to share what I did.

   Hi Harry,The wood is just poplar (the bearing cover and the threaded lock are walnut) and I finished it with blonde shellac (I wanted to be sure it was non-toxic).Scott

   Thanks for the complement.By "just poplar" I meant it was nothing uncommon.
   Maybe I should have phrased it " Nothing exotic, common poplar"I like poplar also, and some of it can be quite beautiful.Scott

   I like the work you have done on each of the 3 pictures. To me they are a piece of art. Fine lines, smooth finish, the person who will be the benefactor of these marvelous pieces will enjoy your work.
   Excellent 10/10.

   You should be looking in books and magazines for plans. Looking on just the web is extremely limiting for most folks. Catalogs like Rockler, etc sell plans as well as the hardware.

   I don't buy plans! But if I do it is only for the critical measurements and those usually get changed anyway.   It's much more fun to flip through catalogs, magazines etc.etc.  Figure out the manditory measurements for hardware, mattress size or whatever.  And take the design features out of the pieces you like and then draw up your own plans and make it individual to your tastes. I've found most plans leave little to be desired and often with mistakes.

   Really, It's the truth..  I have two sets of plans that I've bought in 40+ years of WW.  Bed and Shop building plans and I modified both of those to my liking.  I'am not cheap just frugal ;-)Work Safe,  Count to 10 when your done for the day !!
