Nathan's little bed 2

Yesterday, I went out and milled the lumber, and got everything rough sized.  I then morticed the legs, and with the help of my son James, drilled the holes for the bed hardware.  (I will post pictures of how this all goes together later.) 

I then used a trick I used on Caelin's crib, and used 3/8" metal dowels to act as guide pins for the rails.  All this probably cost me about 6 hours in effort, but then I ran into a snag.  I don't have any claps long enough to handle the rail glue up.  So this afternoon, I will be buying 6' pipes to make pipe clamps with.

Anyway, here is were we are for now. 

Once I glue up the side rails, I will attach the supports on the side.
