Step 10Cutting and Drilling the Railing
The rail can now be cut in half and assembled with the drawer glides. Cut the two bars at the 25" marks. At each of the hole marks you made above, drill a 3/32" pilot hole into the bar 1/2" deep (wrap painter's tape around your drill bit as a guide, if you don't have a drill press). Remove all the tape pieces.
On the bottom bar of the fixed half-rail, drill out the hole nearest the cut end with a 3/16" bit. This hole will be used to anchor the fixed rail to the mattress support panel for stability. This is shown in the close-up.
