Includes enough brackets for one bed.
Mortise and tenon bed rails.
The posts can also be cut to size and shaped and the live edges treated.
I m designing a loft bed here s a rough picture without the cross supports and other details.
Connecting the rails to the posts.
Now we re onto the last bit of joinery in the project.
Tenon cutters it s a simple fact that tenon cutters make for beautiful log furniture tenon cutters are the log furniture tools that cut tenons on the end of your log rails and spindles.
The top and bottom tabs provide lateral rigidity and prevent rotation while the heavy corner gussets maintain a perfect 90 angle the m8 5 16 connecting bolt is held captive in the bed rail bracket so you never have to worry about losing it.
This will be a mission style bed made from.
Through mortise and tenon joints typically go together one of the two ways shown above either both parts are the same thickness a 3 4 rail mating a 3 4 stile for example or the tenon fits into a mortised part of greater thickness such as a 3 4 thick table apron against a 1 1 2 square leg.
Table leg to rail joint mortise tenon the most common way to join table legs to rails is the mortise and tenon joint specifically the stub haunched mo.

Ellis s rule says that your tenon should be 3 wide.
But a 3 wide tenon is greater than 1 1 2 which is six times the tenon thickness.
Right now most joints will be mortise and tenon.
The remaining two thirds of the rail the tenon shoulders help to counteract lateral forces that might tweak the tenon from the mortise contributing to its strength.
To join parts of equal thickness cut both the mortises.
