Wood bed/bedsides assembly
Just finished the new bed wood and I've been been assembling it on the new cross sills on top of the frame with the bedsides off.
Last night I looked at the beautiful bed wood sittin pretty on the frame. Then I looked at the bedsides. Looked at the bed wood again. Then the bedsides..... and thought hmmmmm.... should I have done this differently? The bedsides sit on top of the wood, but the wood sits on top of the front panel and rear sill. I'd appreciate any advice on which order I *should have* assembled the bed wood/bedsides and which way to go now?? I have to replace the rear sill too, so I'm thinking of leaving the wood and cross sills on the frame and setting the bedsides and front panel on the wood before attaching the rear sill. David

Re: Wood bed/bedsides assembly
Assemble the bed sides, front panel, and rear cross sill. Then set the bed on a pair of sawhorses and loosely assemble the wood in the bed. Square everything up, tighten all the bolts, check square again, the set it on the frame. Check for square again.
Did I mention to be sure it is square?? ![]()

Re: Wood bed/bedsides assembly
Is the next step to assemble the wood to the bedsides and then bolt the bed sills on? Did you weld the rear sill to the bed sides?
