   Thanks for the reply, I think I mean trundle, I understand it to be a bed with a second bed underneath which can be pulled out on rollers or casters. Is this a case of two countries separated by the same language ? lol.

   Now what do you call one of those beds that fold out of the wall? It is probably more hardware then woodwork. KDMKenneth Duke Masters

   I was suprised to find that the Murphy Bed Company still exists.  In fact it is not that far from me, on a good traffic day;)

   Rich: I see that other than what you put around it in the way of trim it is all hardware. Still not a bad idea if space is at a premium. DukeKenneth Duke Masters

   They are pretty popular, at least on the east coast.  I think we have the market cornered on small apartments for stupid amounts of money;)

   I built a trundle bed for granddaughter last year.  I used construction techniques from Jeff Miller's book on beds and then built the trundle to slide under the main bed.  The trundle is a very simple platform with sides and on wheels.   The bed design was my own.  I do not have any plans or shop notes but if you are interested, email me at [email protected] and I'll email you some pictures.  I posted the pictures in the Gallery around this time last year and I'm not sure if they are still there.
