Early March I shared with you a prototype of a leg assembly for a Mission style bed.  Much progress has been made.  The design for the bed intentionally has many of the same dimensions between the headboard and the footboard.  I used a router to make all my mortises.  The 1/2” leg-to-headboard and footboard rail mortises were made with the aid of my mortising jig and the 5/8”and 1-1/4” mortises required new jigs to allow me to use a router bushing.  I used the mortising jig clamping surface and clamps to hold the legs when the mortises were routed. .  When I sawed the HB & FB rail checks, I used my TS tenoning jig.  The boards cleared the ceiling by ½.” More pics to show in the next post.  Danl

 

 

 

Excellent Dan. Appreciate all your time taking and posting pictures. Awesome project to follow along.

Thanks Dave.  I'm trying to get the build complete by July 4th.  Probably will not make it.  I have more pics which I will post soon.   Danl
