Glue together the short rails with their posts as in photos 4 and 5. Once out of clamps, glue the head and foot assemblies together with the long rails as in photo 6.

Cut the head and foot panels to size and slide them into place. Make the two top pieces for the posts and place them in position (photo 7). Bore for screws through the top of the top pieces, and countersink the screws with holes the correct size for wood plugs. Screw the pieces in place, and glue plugs into the holes. Once the glue is dry, level the plugs with a chisel or block plane.

Glue 1/2" x 1/2" strips along the inside of the bed to hold the bottom plate (photo 8). Make this plate, like the panels, out of plywood or solid wood, and locate the strips so that the plate will come just below the top of the rails. Put the plate in place and secure it to the strips with nails (photo 9).

A variety of pre-carved wooden pieces are available from various woodworking catalogues. These are attractive and give some fancy detail to the otherwise square regularity of the bed. Glue these to the panels by securing them with masking tape. Use glue sparingly so that it will not squeeze out under the tape.
