Queen Sized Bed

[Kev]

Maybe I'm just tired or something but, this whole thread seems to be missing..  It had the dresser and the night stands in it as well..

Regardless, here's the finish up for the bed..  If one of you happens to recall where that thread is, feel free to move this to there.

Great looking room of furniture. Thanks for providing the video.

Can you provide a link to the pad that you applied the finish with and why did you use this instead of a clean lint free rag? Also a link to your countersink bit. Thanks.

The pads are just white scotch bright pads that you can pick up at the big box store but, I dug up an Amazon link for you..

I have a couple countersink bits and not sure which one you're looking at..  This is the one that I probably use the most..

So these pads are non abrasive? 
I watched the video on the countersink  The one I referred to is the one you used in the above #2 video of the bed build. I clicked the link and watched the video and looked at their specs. Correct me if I’m wrong but it appears that there is one for each size screw, due to the drill bit size? So if I use #6, 8 and 10 screws, I will need three of these?

Yes, they're non abrasive.  They're more of a polishing pad and really do a great job.  It's a little more elbow grease to apply but, I feel like it really works the finish in and does a bit of polishing at the same time.

Correct, different one for different screw size..  I typically only run #6 and #8 so have two of them set up in drills all the time..  I'll use a different counter sink for the odd time that I'm using a different sized screw..

Kev, your legs to panel joinery went very smoothly, even though you had 4-5 domino tenons. Did you use the 2nd “slop” setting on the machine?

I didn't..    They were all the tight setting.   

Nothing wrong with using the second setting to allow some adjustability during the glue up though.

When I first got the tool, I would use the second setting on the mating piece until I realized that with a good sharp pencil line, there was no use. Your’s just snapped in so effortlessly, didn’t know if you did or not.
