I made the four bed corners. Two of them are made out of 52 mm x 46 mm blocks and two of them are made out of 100 mm x 46 mm blocks. These blocks are each 1.5 inches thick.
Through the top I made three 5.4 mm holes. These are at (x, y) of (23, 4), (7, 19) and (39, 19). Each hole goes all the way through the block. These holes will be used to secure the bed.
There is also a hole for the studding. This is an 8.4 mm hole all the way trough at (x, y) of (23, 40).
Next, I created the space where the nuts will fit. I put a nut about 50 mm down the studding and then slipped the block on it. Then, I put another nut on the end of the studding and turned it until it was close to the block and one edge of the nut was parallel to the nearby edge (on the short blocks.) On the long blocks, I didn’t have to worry about making it parallel. Once close, I held the block tight to the nut and tightened the nut underneath the block with my fingers so the the nut on top is held in position.
Once in position, I used a pencil to trace the nut. Then, I cleared this area 6 mm deep using my side cutting bit. To get close I frequently stopped and checked to see how well a nut fit in the hole. I repeated this on the other side.
From the bottom side of the block, I used a 10 mm bit to create clearance for each of the 4 holes. These stop 12 mm before reaching the top of the block.
With one of the long pieces I drilled an 8.4 mm hole at (x, y) of (23, 76.75). This goes all the way though. This block will be used on the datum corner.
With the other long piece I drilled two 8.4 mm holes at (x, y) of (23, 75.5) and (23, 78). I then flattened the space between these holes. This block will be used opposite the datum corner.
Finally, I used the side cutting bit to clear the area from the 3 10 mm clearance holes to the side of the block so that I can get a nut in there.
