Preparation
Cut, sand and finish all of the maple pieces. I choose to drill my pocket holes before finishing my wood.
Step One:
Assemble the headboard frame.
Set the pocket hole jig for 1 ½” material and drill pocket holes in each end of the upper rail and lower
headboard plank. Secure the pieces to the bed post with glue and 2” pocket hole screws. The inside
face of the lower headboard plank will be flush with the front of the bed post which is the side facing
the mattress. Center the upper rail on the bedpost with the pocket holes facing out, and attach. To
keep a consistent center placement for all the joined pieces on the bed posts, I cut a ¾” x 5” piece of
wood as a guide. Example: lay the bedpost on the floor. Position the guide piece next to the bedpost
