« Part 1: Panels, Rails & Stiles for the Frame and Panel Construction Part 2 of Arts and Crafts Style Panel Bed series no next part

The 4th and 5th installment in the Arts and Crafts Panel Bed video series has been released!

If you are intimidated by the through mortise and tenon joint, you should check out the latest videos. I’ll show you a method to make perfectly sized and spaced mortises without a mortising machine or router.

For measured drawings and in-process pictures, you can visit the project page at Eagle Lake Woodworking:

Thank guys! I assembled the headboard and foot board last night and things went pretty well. You’ll see that and the side rails / support system in the next video. Stay tuned.
