King size Bed Plans
 

I am looking to build a King Size Headboard/Footboard. Does anyone know
of a web site that would have free plans? I am interested in building
Mission Style.

Thanks

IMO, free plans for this type of project are worth every penny you pay for
them. If you're going to build an heirloom piece, pay the $12 for good
plans and instruction.

Rough estimate, I'd figure on a few hundred bucks.

Thanks. One last question, I have all the basic tools, Table Saw,
Router, Chop Saw, for a project like this, is there any tools I might
need that I might not have?

Thanks again!!

Make sure you've a dado blade for the TS. Also, something to cut a curve in
thick material (bandsaw, ballsy jigsaw, etc....)

Depends.
Felling axe, spitting wedge, maul?
Mortise Chisel, tenon saw?
Screwdriver?

I'm in the process of making a queen size mission style bed out of oak.
I think I spent about $500 on the wood, mostly S2S. Tools - make sure
you have some mortise chisels or a drill press + forstner bits to make
mortises.
As far as plans, I have the plan at the link below (or DAGS for mission
bed plans and pick one you like). If you're spending several hundred
dollars on wood, and probably a few hundred more on tools you just
can't live without, the $12-17 spent on a detailed plan for a
complicated project is worth it in my opinion, even if it's just a
starting point. The plans I have include details for how to expand to
king size or reduce to full or twin. I've modified them slightly, but
it sure helped to have everything laid out for me.

Several other places have the same plan - "Classic Bed Plan"
Good luck,
