Framing the Headboard and Footboard

just get a nice 20 craig mini i have a link in my description you guys check out we're gonna clamp it here we're gonna use our special drill bit with the stop collar that comes with this kit we're gonna put a pocket hole in here we're gonna take our two by fours wrap it and secure it with the appropriate screws and of course wood glue now let me show you these two by fours that we're working with these are the two by fours that we're going with and if you're thinking my oh my these are clean two by fours well i sanded them down a little bit just to clean them up and i recommend you do the same it's really hard to find a good set of two by fours because most of the time they're used for studs and walls clean them up they'll be good to go we're gonna cut them up and secure with screws [Music] [Applause] [Music] if that's not the mona lisa i don't know what is [Applause] the only thing that's kind of the big part left of this project are these side rails let me show you what the materials we're thinking about using here two by twelves these are ten footers so we'll cut them up to size give it a good stand here's my issue once everything was wrapped around here i don't like that once we put clear cook on the 2x4 is going to become like this amberish yellow color instead i'm going to give it that same stain as this white i think it's called pickled oak so i'll mask everything off and stain that as well as those side rails what we're going to do is on the back side as you can see i didn't stain it just because nobody's going to see it we're going to start talking about attaching it so we're going to take uh 2x2 and we're going to secure it in place maybe recessed in from here pick a number i'll say inch and a half we'll secure it with screws and glue of course on both sides after that's done we'll put pocket holes because that's what's going to hold them to the headboard to the footboard and uh that'll be our connecting bridge that being said we are so close to actually having a full-time bet here so uh let's see what we can do
