Murphy Library Panel Bed Do-It-Yourself Kit Full
The size of the library bed is 117 1/2 wide by 88 inches high. This whole unit is pre-cut and drilled so all you have to do is assemble and install. The estimated time to paint or polyurethane is about 6 hours, the estimated time to assemble and install is 8 hours
We use a 11/16 stainless steel continuous track on the base and top of the cabinet.This track can be painted to match the cabinet. We use six steel rollers with ball bearings per sliding cabinet, these are rated at 60 pound each, these rollers (wheels) are 1 3/16" diameter sheaves. I mortice four of these wheels into the bottom of the rolling shelves. The upper track I mortice in two sheaves. The rolling shelves are 30 inches wide by 10 inches deep. I rabbit out the back end of these vertical panels for the 1/4 plywood backs,. The full depth of the shelves for the rolling cabinets is 9 inches for books, and the side cabinets are 15 inches deep. I build a floor base for the whole unit 117 1/2 long . On the very end of front of the cabinet runs a stainless steel track 5/16" high by 11/16" wide. This track and rollers are made to hold 300 pounds. The same track runs at the very top of the bed, with trim covering it up. This makes the rolling shelves locked in place so the won't come off the track.If for some reason the shelf should become detached from the upper track I have installed a scalp or trim that comes down over the sheaves so as to block the cabinet from falling forward away from the wall.The scalp is attached to a piece of plywood with the track on it, it runs continuous across the front of the unit and is screwed into the top of the vertical panels and front braces with 1 5/8 screws. This unit comes with 1/4 birch plywood backs on all four cabinets.
I brush on the stain( I like the natural by min-wax) Pecan looks real good too(like a violin). Or pick any stainyou want. Wipe off the stain with a cloth, wait 8 hours and put 2-3 coats Satin water based polyurethane, sand with 220 grit sandpaper between coats,I like the Pro Series sold at Home Depot because it doesn't bubble up as much as the others and it is cheaper (as it is drying take the brush and lightly go over the surface to blow up those little bubbles.
