I decided to create a bed frame without any previous carpentry experience.
What ensued was a 4 week project that cost more than it should have, and was much more complicated then needed. The project was full of mistakes that I spent countless hours correcting. The reason it is a slide show and not an instructable is because this is a very difficult, and impractical, way to make a bed frame.
Luckily, in the end there was a bed frame...a very strong and heavy bed frame actually.
I'm working on another bed frame now that should be much simpler and better documented.

Not many will do that, but ultimately, it's to the benefit of the reader, so a big thank you and a pat on the back for "taking one for the team".
I'm planning on making a queen platform bed with hinges on the slats(for my bf and myself) so that we can slip the mattress off, flip it open and put stuff like Halloween decorations, rarely used tools(like our air compressor), and guest bedding, underneath for long term storage.
