Good things (SWB bed) come to those who wait...and wait..and wait

Well I picked this one up last weekend (THANKS ROB!!)...and spent a few hours yesterday and today taking it apart...yes, you heard me right..a "few" hours..I'd say it only took me around 4 hours total..maybe 5 at the most.

Two reasons..I think..I've been PB Blaster-ing all the bolts every night for the past week...so every thing could soak really good...but I had to come up with a way to remove the @#$% carriage bolts myself...since I was taking the whole bed apart with no help available.

So I thought about it..and came up with this handy little tool...I thought I'd share it with you guys..just a simple little piece of 2x4 cut to length, with angled ends..and used as a wedge to keep the carriage bolts from turning...I still had to cut about 6 off..but thats not bad...and here are some pics of the bed...it's in REALLY nice shape for locating it down here!
