Wood Furniture Design: A Finished Piece of Furniture

Before today, I never had sat on something I had designed, refined, and built myself. The futon is sturdy and comfortable! There needs to be some small adjustments made in the channels, as the folding action doesn't quite work perfectly yet, and ideally I will stain and lacquer it as well. But for now, it works, it sits flat and sturdy, can support three people, and, when opened flat, you can lie all the way at the edge and it doesn't tip over. All in all, lets mark this one in the WIN column. Now for pictures!
















Thanks to Jake, Paul and Martin for all their help and tools!
