Used the Create-a-bed kit from Rockler

Here's a queen size one I finished last year, also using the Rockler
hardware.

Both your beds are great. Beautiful job. I've wanted a murphy bed for
years. Been hoping to get one for my spare room so it can be multiuse.
Hopefully one day, when I have all the tools to build (or buy) one.

Happy Holidays All!

I don't think the Create-a-Bed system from (among others) Rockler
requires that much sophisticated tools. One of the requirements I
somewhat struggled with is space. The "holder" that Doug came up with
should help, but still you end up with a bedframe and a bookcase bigger
than it.

Also, for esthetics you need to contemplate edging of the plywood and
other parts where they'll be visible.
