Home Project: Murphy Bed
This project involved designing and building a space-saving Murphy bed for home use. The bed needed to fold neatly against the wall while remaining strong and safe for daily use. I focused on structural integrity, smooth operation, and a clean aesthetic that integrates with the room decor. This project allowed me to explore woodworking, mechanical supports, and ergonomic design.
