Thanks for the comments, and I hope who ever's read this topic has enjoyed it and maybe taken something from it. Not sure when my next project will start, but I do want to make a cabinet with some panelled doors, however an MDF fitted wardrobes looks more likley to be next. :roll:

;Nice job.

Actually I have got a headboard on my to do list.

Looking at your cutting list/plan (second photo at the start of this thread), I note you have four battens fitted below the headboard pattern.

Are these what are used to hold the headboard to the divan?

I also assume you are taking the outside frame to floor level to create more stability?

 

[joiner_sim]

Yes the 4 battens are what I have used to attach the headboard to the divan. And the frame does go down to floor level. After having it attached to the bed for a few days now, it is still very stable, fiuxed and secure to the bed.

Thanks Joiner Sim for your reply, although I am thinking of cheating at the moment.
Buy a veneered door and secure it to the wall, :wink: sounds an easy project might be the way for me to go.

Anyone tried that?
