A few more progress pics of the Mission style bed build.    Danl

 

I added a profile to the footboard lower rail, similar to the design feature on the night stand.

 

 

Clamped a router jig  to the side-rail for the 5/8" x 4-1/2" x 7/8" deep mortise which goes into the end of the side rail.

 

 

Using a router guide bushing and a spiral 1/2" up-cut router bit.

 

Clamped the router jig for the mounting hardware access 'T-slot

 

Clamped the router jig  to router the mortice for the T-slot cover plate.

 

Added identification marking to the side-rail.

 

Added the identification markings to the legs.

 

 

 

I added masking tap to the TS fence to allow me to remove 0.004" from the slip tenon material to allow for a nice fit.

 

Temporary installed the slip tenons into their respect leg mortice after holes were drilled for the attachment bolt and hidden encapsulated nut.

 

Thanks for looking.   Danl

 

 

 

Roman numerals - classy!

Love the detail. Craftsmanship 'ain't too shabby either. Thanks for pics and story of the journey. Better than reading a ww'ing magazine. Really enjoying following the progression.
