You done good, rite tools make a big difference. Wish I would have had your saw the other day when I was shaving 1/4 inch off of four 4X4s.
Sure makes it easy. Wife wanted a new bed and I didn't trust the slats. We got a king platform bed so I built 3 supports out of wood I had laying aroundAttachment 137831Attachment 137832
two more slats in there and it would have been a deck
Newly Wed??????
You better run you a board across the top of those supports so all the slats can lay on them and distribute the weight. U going to bust the other slats if u dont.
Been married 9 years. Just time for a new bed
good idea HandiQuote:

Lol GDG. Done broke a sleigh bed where the metal hooks on to the wood frame hehe.
x2 on the board. Then you could have only ran with two supports. One around the chest area and the other around the knee area. This way more support would be area the heavy parts of the body instead of the head and feet. ;)
You shoulda come by and got my table sawQuote:

Think I'll add a 1x4 on the end to support my old fat butt in the mornings. LOL
Nice work, you'll be doing GDG quality work before long.
I've never seen a bed with that many slats. What are they made of?

Going at lunch to get a 1x4, cut it and screw it in place. Worse come to worse, I can get some 1/4 or 1/2" plywood, cut it and screw it in place. Just cover the whole dang thing in plywood,. LOL The bed dang sure sleeps nice. PIllow top then firm under neath it
Handi's idea was the best plan
Use 2in angle iron heck with wood it wont hold up under pressure.
Hmmm....looks like wood to me. :biggrinQuote:

We had the mattrace on the floor at the other house. Took the frame and put it in storage when we were putting in the new carpet. Momma wanted a new bed and momma got one Loki got it all fixed now. Couple 1x4s at the end and a couple running from top to bottom. I put 2 screws in every cross slat. It ain't going no where now with all 56 screws in it lol
