Queen Rocking Bed

Design & Technology Major Work

My rocking bed was completed for my 2014 HSC Design and Technology course. There were many design problems to overcome in its production. How to make the circular legs? How to make the bedheads? How to make it be able to be dismantled and reassemble for transport? All of which were solved. 

The circular ellipse legs had many prototypes before the full size mould was built. The 2 oval legs consist of 4 joined quarter parts. Each quarter has nine laminated layers of radiata pine, glued with PVA. Each quarter was then dressed, and joined using XL 700 Festool Domino machine using 2 x 140mm dominos. The bed heads were made by carving and shaping blue modelling foam to the precise curve of the eclipse legs. A vacuum bag was then used to bend and laminate 4 x layers of 4mm plywood over the foam mould using cross-linking PVA for the bedheads. Amongst others Cam and bolts and Allen key bolts were utilised to join pieces allowing them to be disjoined and re joined in the future for simplicity in the assembly process. Polyester fabric was then used to sew the canopy which covers the adjoining top wooden beams.
