I removed the bed floor and added in cross members so the planks will be visible from underneath.

Can anyone suggest some type of wash or stain that can be made up using paints instead of having to buy a container of stain?
Thanks!!

Most hardware stores will have small sample size packets of stain in the same area that they sell the bigger cans. They're meant for people to be able to test a stain before comitting to buying a larger amount. They're not very expensive at all, only about $.25 for so.

What's your method for cutting the basswood? The time I tried doing it, it went crazy and starting splitting. I couldn't get it to cut how I wanted it to.
One of my best tool investments, a well spent $50. I use it on all my basswood and Evergreen cuts. Great straight cut every time.
The Chopper allowed me to build this in 1/25 scale from old Popular Science Magazine plans. I built this to get good at working with basswood and my 1/25 scale ruler.
