Re: wooden bed floor kits?
Fostner drill bit, I think 1 1/2". They can be bought at any hardware store.
Just remember to drill the 3/8" hole offset, or the washer/bolt will not work correctly.

Re: wooden bed floor kits?
What's the purpose of the offset washer? Not sure if the fosner bit will work as I already have my bolt holes drilled. I may have to use a wood chisel, any other ideas?

White oak is beautiful and is definitely the wood I'll be using if I go that route. I may just use a composite decking material...I dunno. Nice to see a fellow woodworker here ![]() |

Easy fix, take a scrap peice of wood and drill the hole usin the fostener bit, then clamp the scap wood onto the bedwwod where you need to drill the hole. Remember to only drill the 1/4 "

![]() Glad you responded - have you any pix of woods you've used with red bedsides handy? I'm thinking oak would look okay but would consider other finishes. Easier now than afterward, eh? Very impressive bed, by the way! Posted via Mobile Device

Re: wooden bed floor kits?
I did my own Zoomin .. These pics are during the SPAR stages .. final pic in my GMC build. (you may have seen it already)
just sayin, .. it's not difficult. I have about $165 in the wood, and $40 in the varnish. Then of course my time. It really turned out nice. Factory GM / OEM specs
