Default Progress on the Bed job, AKA actual woodworking

I have not posted much lately as I have been pretty busy with the Bed
Project and all of that which comes with so called retirement. :~)

Anyway I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and hope to deliver
in the next few weeks.

The base and it's 9 drawers have been completed for a few weeks not and
I have been working on the head and foot boards.

Here I was doing a test fot of the pieces before staining the hard parts
and gluing.

And jumping ahead I have stained the panels and inner sides of the rails
and stiles and glued up the units.

I am attaching the legs to the panels with 6mm x 40mm Domino's. I'll be
adding glue and screws to strengthen the joints.

The Domino side.

The screw access hole side, I'll be plugging the holds after final glue
up of the legs.

A dry fit of the entire assembly for placement of the threaded inserts
to bolt the head and foot boards to the bed frame.

After I place the threaded inserts I'll stain and varnish the remaining
parts and add the decking. And hopefully I'll be finished.

Questions?
