I want to make my own bed, and have several example pictures. Where do people find plans for their furniture?

    I’d recommend learning SketchUp or TinkerCad or something similar to make your own plans because part of the beauty of making your own furniture is it can be exactly the way you want it to be. However, that kind of software can be intimidating if you’ve never had exposure to it.

    So, the next best thing I would recommend would be to find a video on YouTube of someone building a bed, these makers sometimes have links to the plans they used to build it. There are a lot of bed builds on YouTube and they might even give you some ideas you’d like to incorporate into your own design.

      To add to this. Before even opening up any cad program, sketch on paper some ideas. Overall and small details like joints to get an idea what you want to build. Those YouTube videos can give good ideas for that
