the little gap in your cap, run the screw in then back it out and run it in again and it will pull tight. the first time you run the screw in it tries to jack the two pieces apart since the screw has threads all the way up.

Great bed plans. I used yours and the other two plans and made a combination of all three. Turned out really well and I ended up measuring everything correctly! Making a router template for the recessed bed rail hardware made things much easier in the long run.

Great project! Thanks for taking the time to make and film it. Subscribed.

Love the idea of the Tea and Vinegar stain. Never knew that you could do that. I am making a bed like this soon and the Joinery is where I am having the biggest stumbling block in my decisions. Thank you for making this video ! The bed looks fantastic!!

Looks great bridget ! Good job!

Thanks for detailed video..I made my own with some modifications...and it turned out awesome

Very nice

That is a very nice bed. When it's all set up in your room, it looks better than Ethan Allen. The tea and vinegar stain looks great. Good job!

Mortise is pronounced like tortoise but with a M , nice woodworking!

That's a beautiful build! I'll be starting a very similar project soon, but will be going with the farmhouse white with espresso stain accents. Your video has given me some better ideas on how to go about finishing my own build. Thank you!

Nice work! I just built a similar queen size bed, but used non-mortise hardware. It's worth looking into for future projects.

Pocket holes aren’t really meant to be used for any load bearing applications. I am finishing a similar design for my son at the moment. My legs have a mortise and tenon 1 1/2” deep into the leg. My side rails are also similar, I stood the blocks up because of the wear strength of the end grain. Anyway, great job for your first project! Looks very nice!

Nice build! Didn’t know you could stain with tea and vinegar. That’s pretty dope.

You guys must need a very sturdy bed! Your husband is my hero lol

Excelentt Design

Great bed! Love the break down rail connection hardware. I was advised to do the same by a friend. However, he advised the non-mortise version so that I don't get into the issues of the mortise. I do wish the audio on your video was better. It was hard for me to understand what you were saying.

With the rest of the slats in place it will be plenty sturdy. Another option is using joists. Attach joists to side rails. Dont attach slats to joists for easy assemble/disassemble. As for a hardware cover up I suggest glue and Brad nails when making the headers for the slats. I also made pocket holes to attach my head and foot posts like. Its sleaker than carriage bolts through the side. Awesome job. Keep it up. Its so rewarding to make your own furniture. Im almost complete with having all store bought furniture out of my house. Bedrooms are all that remain.

You could still drill out those discolored holes and glue in some dowels.

More tis* that’s how you say it lol other then that nice piece

Thank you for sharing your video! We plan to build a similar king bed this summer. We too want to use bed rail brackets for easy assembling. I found another type of brackets called surface mount brackets, which I thought might be easy to use. We will give those a try. In the meantime, do you mind sharing your cut list? Thanks. The bed come out really nice!!

may i ask the size/depth of the mattress?

Wow, awesome! Where did you get that carpenter skill? I took wood shop in high school and love power tools and the smell of wood!

nice job. tea stain, lipton tea with what in it? what is the ratio of tea to water? did you boil the water first? thanks

I would had just screwed the rails in

Great job. What type of wood did you purchase? Was it rough or dressed? And did you plane your edges for that softer look? Thanks.
