Since I can't sleep in today...a post about a bed.

As you can tell, I'm trying to get caught up on some of the examples of things I've built over the last few weeks. Here is another one from a couple years ago.

This is a queen sized bed I designed and built.  I wanted something that stood really tall, both from mattress to floor as well as the height of the headboard.  It was a fairly simple project.  The head and foot are built like a shaker style cabinet door.  The joints are all tongue and groove.  The corner posts have a mortise to accept each panel.  The rails are removable for easy shipping and storing.  I went with a fancy clip that is mortised into the rails and corner posts, but I think if I did it again, I'd do something beefier, and increase the height of the rails.  I also would do a small footstool or set of steps that matched, to use for crawling up onto the bed.  That is something I always pictured when I designed a bed this tall.  I hope you like it.
