Reclaimed Wood Bed

I was inspired by Ana's plan for a reclaimed wood bed. I went through the wood in my garage and was able to make this bed in an afternoon and for $0!

Tool List: Drill and screws, jigsaw (or handsaw), orbital sander (or sandpaper), nail gun (or hammer and brad nails), miter saw (or handsaw), polyurethane and a paintbrush.

Material list: 2 wood pallets, 2 – 4×4 posts cut to 54″, 2x4s and 2x6s to make the bed platform (I have a double bed so the finished product is 53″x74″), 1 – 2×6 cut to 57″ to make the ledge on the headboard.
