August 2022

Worked on assembling the bed. Got the front panel bolted in as well as welding and re-primering on the rear cross-sill. Test fitted the outer boards in place and drilled the holes to match the angle strips. Stored the partly assembled bed on the chassis. Put the first coat of stain on the bed wood, Brushed on and took forever to dry. Pics show what I used for stain.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
