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

 

Qty (60) 7/8" x 7/8" spindles with 1/2" x 5/8" x 5/8" tenons, both ends.

1/8" x 1/8" chamfers routered on the bottoms of the legs.

Headboard dry-fitted.  The 1st time I tried the dry-fit it took 1 hr.  This time it took 10 min.  It should be adequate time with the Titebond hide glue.

Headboard, footboard and side-rails dry fitted with the slip tenon also not glued yet.

Epoxied the weld nut to the bottom of the slip tenon

Glued the slip tenon into the mortise and drill hole for peg (belt and suspender approach).  The peg will be hidden when the headboard and footboards are assembled.

Used the cut-off to help make a gluing caul.  I attached cork the side that touches the corbel.  The corbel is splined to the leg.

Getting ready to apply finish.  I will be finishing most parts separately.  The finish schedule is (1) coat dye, seal coat, (1) coat stain, seal coat, and then 2-3 coats of WB lacquer.

Thanks for looking.  Danl
