This one is so eazy.The hard part is to find these frames cheep.This one cost me 20 bucks.I took the foot board and cut two pices out of it to made the side arms. I decided to make the sides 12 and a half inches wide.I like this size because it will have a good bench seat added.I took the head board and drilled two 3/8 in. holes to put in dowel pluges in it to attached side railes.I took the side side railes and drilled the 3/8 in. hole in them to match the hole in head board. I put wood glue on the dowels and attached the side arms to head board.To make the bench stronger I also went to Lowes and picked up some 1and 1/2 in. L brackets for extra support.I let this set for two days so that the glue sets.These pictures show where we are know.i was going to add the seat and my wife came in and suggested to also make this benck a storage bench.So instead of just adding a seat I will added a seat with hinges that will lift upto have enterance to storage compartment.Well check out pictures of were we are so far and should be able to see finished bench in #3.
