What happens here

After all the 1x8 planks are attached to the frame, use an orbital sander with sandpaper to smooth all the edges and corners of the planks. This is important to prevent snagging clothes, scratching skin, or causing splinters when using the bed. Focus on rounding off any sharp edges for a safer and more comfortable finish.

Goal: Smooth all rough edges and corners of the bed platform

Tools and materials

  • Dust Mask — Protecting against inhaling wood dust
  • Orbital Sander Ryobi — Smoothing the wood edges
  • Safety Glasses — Protecting eyes during sanding
  • Sandpaper — Abrasive for the sander

sitting on it and you can't tell so i got afton over there she's finishing screwing the top planks in and i'm just gonna we're gonna begin taking our sander and just sanding the edges of all these boards because they're actually kind of sharp and you know a little bit rough on the ends so we wanted to be nice and smooth so it doesn't catch your clothes or doesn't scratch you or cut you like the ends of these boards are sharp and when you're getting in the bed we don't want that to actually you know scratch or anything so we're just going to round off all the corners and round off all the edges with our orbital sander
