Families with limited space need unique sleeping arrangements and loft beds and bunk beds are two options one should consider, reports MinimalistWoodworking.com

Elmhurst, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/14/2015 -- According to WinningStepfamilies.com, 65 percent of remarriages in America involve children from prior marriages. This figure, however, doesn't include children living in blended families where the parents are cohabitating. Situations such as this often make it difficult for all to find comfortable sleeping arrangements. One may not wish to reserve a bedroom for children who are in the home on a part-time basis, yet must still ensure these children have a bed when they are present. Loft and bunk beds are two options families may wish to consider in this situation.

"Many beginners to woodworking purchase plans only to find they can't follow along or the plans are missing basic steps. This is never an issue when one makes use of Minimalist Woodworking (http://minimalistwoodworking.com), as the site recommends plans from Ted's Woodworking. Ted's Woodworking provides plans that a beginner can use, follow easily and customize to meet their unique needs. One can't ask for anything more than this," Chris Harrison, spokesperson for Minimalist Woodworking, explains.

Loft beds provide a sleeping area for individuals while allowing for space under the bed for other furnishings. Space has become a premium in many areas, such as dorm rooms, or in many big cities, including New York City and San Francisco. With a loft bed, one finds they can maximize the space of a small area and possibly make the loft bed part of the room's decor. Care must be taken, however, when selecting plans to ensure the bed is sturdy and can hold the weight of a person easily.

Loft beds offer numerous options, Harrison continues. One may add guardrails if the bed is to be used by a child, yet others opt for a bed with no foot board. As the plans seen at Minimalist Woodworking allow for numerous variations, one can easily find a plan which meets their needs in every way. Visit http:// minimalistwoodworking.com/loft-bed-plans/ for more options. Consumers love the wide variety of plans to be seen on this site, including those with blended families as they make the most of every available inch of space.

Others find a bunk bed offers a better solution for their unique situation. Bunk beds are often seen in families with multiple children and are a great option for blended families. This option is great for those who wish for their children to share a room so they can bond, and many use it when they feel they need more storage space in an area.

"Check out Minimalist Woodworking to see the numerous bunk bed plans currently offered. Pay a visit to minimalistwoodworking.com/bunk-bed-plans/ to see this selection.

Equipping Americans with better building plans and experienced advice can save money and frustration, publishes minimalistwoodworking.com

Elmhurst, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/05/2014 -- Statistics from the retail industry indicate the prices of wood furniture have escalated more than 70 percent over the last 20 years, leading many Americans to consider building their own home furnishings. While tens of thousands of free woodworking plans are readily available online, most have been found less than helpful. In fact, countless consumers report inaccurate measurements, incomplete material lists and instructions that are spotty at best. This leaves numerous disheartened would-be do-it-yourselfers trudging back to the over-priced furniture stores in the wake of failed attempts to follow shabbily contrived plans.

With these issues in mind, Chad Harris recently launched the Minimalist Woodworking website for sharing advice and effective furniture plans. Said Harris, "Our site provides links to more 16,000 woodworking plans, and we will continue to add to that number. This is a compilation of the most comprehensive plans available for a number of different types of furniture. We also offer blog posts from an experienced woodworker who began his DIY journey as a novice just as many of our viewers will be."

Among the most popular home furniture building projects are Adirondack chairs. The new website supplies plans for the basic style of Adirondack chair as well as those for several variations, such as the love seat and rocking chair versions, along with a few others only revealed to site visitors. This collection of plans and helpful tips for such a project can be found at http://minimalistwoodworking.com/adirondack-chair-plans. Also available is a list of the various building media that can be used.

Another in-demand DIY task is wooden gun cabinets. Many gun cabinets found in stores are considered unsightly or overly expensive by most consumers in the market for them. Harris advises this is a project to be taken seriously as it should be designed for safety. Though the builder can customize a gun cabinet through choice of wood, pattern style and intricate details, the core functionality of the project should not be overlooked.

Craftsmen typically envision a glass panel in the door for displaying their firearms; however, caution should be exercised. Using a standard pane of glass is not recommended since it could easily be broken, leaving the weapons inside exposed. Shatterproof glass or a sheet of acrylic should be implemented instead as these offer greater security. The wood used and the construction itself should also be strong enough to support the see-through panel. These plans and additional advice are available at http://minimalistwoodworking.com/gun-cabinet-plans.

Concluded Harris, "These are only a couple of examples of what our website has to offer. Our goal is to help our visitors hone their woodworking skills and develop a hobby or trade they can enjoy. At the same time, we can help save them a great deal of heartache by equipping them with the knowledge they need to create beautiful furniture with their own hands.

The plans, blueprints, tips, and schematics help to ensure every project undertaken is a success from start to finish, reports MinimalistWoodworking.com

Elmhurst, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/05/2014 -- Woodworking remains a popular hobby with many. In 2010, the Craft and Hobby Association found that 56 percent of American households engaged in some type of crafting once during that calendar year, with woodworking and wood crafts generating the most money in terms of sales. The woodworking/wood craft segment brought in $3.322 billion, with 16.8 million households participating in the hobby.

"Although the Craft and Hobby Association has changed the way they collect and report these statistics, making it more difficult to determine the level of participation and money spent in recent years, individuals continue to engage in this pastime. In fact, the statistics might be higher were people able to find plans they could easily follow. Thankfully, many are now learning about Minimalist Woodworking and how it can be of assistance in helping them start and improve in this field," Chris Harrison, spokesperson for Minimalist Woodworking (http://minimalistwoodworking.com), proclaims.

Individuals often rush to the nearest home improvement store when they come across a project they wish to try. They purchase the materials and the recommended tools only to find they don't understand how to read the plans or have never used a technique described in the instructions. When they find this is the case, they often give up on their dream of making a wood project on their own,.

Harrison explains, "Individuals need to start with a basic project, one which clearly lays out the steps to be taken, the tools needed, and the techniques to be used. An Adirondack chair fits this bill for many, yet the key lies in finding a clear, easy to follow plan. For this reason, many choose to turn to Ted's Woodworking, as it offers the only Adirondack chair plans you will ever need. Some, when seeing the price of Ted's Woodworking plans, find they wish to look elsewhere.

With Ted's Woodworking plans, individuals receive not only detailed instructions, but also schematics for each project, blueprints, dimensions of the project, useful tips, and a great deal more, including videos.
