Bed Frame

This is the first piece of the bed I have completed. It also contains the first design change. I took two of the crosspices and turned them flat. I built brackets for them out of spare 2x4. This way we can pull them out and use the space for storage.

Overall I am happy with the way it came out. I did manage to glue one of the corners with the wrong overlap. I was checking the diagonals for square and could not figure out why it was so out of line. One head smack later, and a was scrambling to rip out screws before the glue set.

But in the end it worked out OK.

One down, some rather large number to go.
