I want a bed like this but I don’t have a history of woodworking. How hard would it be for a beginner to build a bed like this, or maybe one a little scaled down?

Also, what kind of wood would I buy? And hardware?
This dawned on me today. All my life I have been better at theory side of things. IE, At school for example in my woodworking GCSE’s I was awful as making anything, However I passed it purely on the high level of my written coursework. Same at art, I can’t draw, but I passed that exam also on the high quality of my written coursework. Onto driving, I have failed my practical driving test 4 times!! But passed the theory with almost full marks which is not easy achieved.
Are some people better at theory than practical things in life? If so how do I find a job that’s right for me? While I passed my GCSE’s I decided not to stay on at school so have just floated from dead end job to dead end job, Ironically I am a carpenter which involved no theory at all, it is entirely practical. I don’t fit in, I know that job is not for me, but its all I have done for 9 years and am not happy. Would I be better going to uni and training up for a job based entirely on writing/theory etc
I need another easy plan for my class. I’ve already made a footstool and a baseball plaque w/shelf.
Please list the website.
I am looking to learn woodworking and am thus looking for a good woodworking book to build chairs, shelves, beds, etc … featuring enough woodworking plans and projects; would you please help me ?
Could anyone help me find woodworking plans for a tea chest? I want to build one for my girlfriend for Christmas, but I can’t find them anywhere! I’ve checked magazines and searched online. If anyone can help me out, it would be much appreciated!
Im looking to make it from scratch, so plans with a pre-made wooden chest aren’t that helpful.
I want to build a few bits and pieces for the house. Unfortunately I don’t have all the tools I need to build the stuff I want and I won’t be building enough to justify buying the stuff I need. Are there places in the UK where I can bring my materials and use their tools? How would I go about finding one in my area (near Bicester, Oxfordshire)?
I am interested in woodworking, but don’t know how or where to get started. I would like to start with the very basics and work my way up. I am also interested in any good books on the subject, any tool lists for the beginning woodworker, any good online resources, etc.
Thanks!
Can anyone help me with plans on building this bed:
http://www.potterybarn.com/products/p12275/index.cfm?pkey=cwood%2Dbeds%2Dheadboards
Queen Bed
Overall: 66” wide x 86” deep x 50” high
Headboard: 50” high x 4.5” deep x 66" wide
Footboard: 21′ high x 4.5” deep x 66" wide
Clearance from head/footboard to floor: 7”
Clearance from side rails to floor: 7”
Interior: Fits standard queen mattress
COMPOSITION & CONSTRUCTION
Headboard and footboard are solid kiln-dried mahogany. Side rails are mahogany and mahogany veneer over MDF. MDF, a man-made fiberboard consisting of wood fibers and resin binders, is known for its strength and stability, and is commonly used as a base for veneers. It features uniform consistency with no knots, and while it has about the same density as medium-weight hardwood, it is structurally more stable. It won’t crack, and finishes adhere well to it, which results in a smooth end coat. Kiln drying is a process that removes moisture from wood and ensures that it will not split, warp, crack or mildew. Platform-support slats are solid hardwood. Finished on all sides with multi-step hand-applied Antique Honey stain with lacquer finish.
I have a circular saw, reciprocating saw, jigsaw, power drill, and soon a router, what can I make that will sale well and where can I sell it? I live in a small town with two somewhat bigger cities nearby. I am new to woodworking but I make quality stuff. I plan on making chests, bookcases, and maybe even computer desks. Give me ideas of things to make with these tools.
