Love the project. Also, love the saw. I bought one last fall and I love it. A little update for your cross pieces, to make it easier to slide this bed, is to add a piece on your crossmembers. This would reinforce them and remove the legs.

That looks really great, John! I'm beginning to really like the look of contrasting solid wood / white finishes. I built a free-standing kitchen cabinet a few years ago with a similar look - finished with a white base, solid Walnut top and black hardware and it came out awesome. It'd be great to build everything out of beautiful solid wood but it's just cost prohibitive for many people. Can't wait to see the rest of the pieces in the series! Did you do anything to finish off the bottom of the headboard like edge banding or just paint over the exposed sandwich of plywood and MDF? Certainly not necessary for the footboard since it's so low but depending on mattress height, I could see how the bottom of the HB could be exposed while lying in bed.
