I "doctored" the plans for the reclaimed wood look headboard to using 4x4's for legs and created a footboard of the same style. I then make the siderails for my bedframe by laminating a 2x8 to a 2x6 to completely encase the box frame. I was able to put my boxframe inside by screwing and gluing 2x2's along the inside of the frame. This is a STURDY bed frame!

How did you go about
How did you go about doctoring the plans to use 4x4's instead of 1x3's and 1x2's?
