SHEET B
[1] Repeat the first two steps taken in cutting Sheet A.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

[1] Glue and nail both end pieces to the back . . . as shown in the illustration.
[2] Fasten-again using both glue and nails-the bottom to the assembly.
[3] Turn the bed-to-be over.
[4] Glue and nail the narrow top piece to the back (as in the construction photo).
[5] Again referring to the photo, install the first brace.
[6] Using glue and nails, secure the large top piece to the ends (you can also run a bead of glue along the joint between the two top sections).
[7] Fasten the second brace. (I glued and nailed its top edge in place, but — not wanting to turn the bed over — I shored up its foot with the pieces of scrap shown in the photo of the finished sleeper.)
[8] Guess what . . . you've built a finished storage bed! Put a mattress or foam pad on top and fill the new "cupboard" with about 30 cubic feet of whatever you'd like to get out from under foot!
