Here is my personal one...

Use it or don't idc. The one you posted will work fine tho.

sliding dovetail

I would use a draw pin to make sure they hold with all the motion a bed is subject to.

This thread is relevant to my interests. My wife has been bugging me to make a bed frame.

This is how I made my bed

the acute angle in the pink part looks like it will be an incredible stress concentration and will absolutely crack due to fatigue over time

this. All these excessively complex looking joints have too many weak spots to actually be durable construction methods. From how I imagine op pic to be put together I'd feel like it would have the same issue/

There is 8 square inches of wood there. The pink post is a 4x4 unlike the longer dark pink post.

I know people tend to think my jointery won't work. But ive used it with zero shakes or wobbles. Its a bed after all not a ships rib or keel.

Where are you buying these 4x4s you cut these shity 2x2 end grain notches out of? The last 5,000 I bought are 3.5"x3.5"?

ayy I'm guessing you also go to /r9k/ then?

Literally any sawmill..

nigga leave decorative joints for coffee tables, use proper joinery for bed

inb4 muh japanese joinery - they didn't make beds with it, those guys slept on the floor

That gave me a chuckle.

I think if OP's joint would be nice for a table where it was exposed.

Would not the use of a proper adhesive make that joint solid enough for a bed given that the legs aren't going to be long?

this seems overly complicated, why not just offset tenons to the outside, and mitered in the middle? then you wont get the end grain showing.

you're using foxtails in other places, so you don't want to take it apart later. that's the only reason i'd probably consider something like in the pic.

Pic related is what I just built. Super simple bed frame that is held together by gravity alone.

The small piece in the middle of the pic is what the corner pieces look like from straight on. Each corner piece is a 4x4x8 piece. A 1 inch deep rabbet (kind of) is taken out of the outside sides of the corner pieces. That is where the 1x16 planks sit that cover the bed frame and box spring will sit (haven't made them yet). Then, further up, 4 inches down from the top, is cut a 2 inch deep rabbet.

The green 2x4 sits in that second rabbet. Into the green 2x4 are cut 2 inch dados for the orange 2x4's to lay cross ways but flush with the green 2x4's and the corner pieces.

As it sits right now, I have the corner pieces, the green 2x4's and the orange 2x4's assembled. I slept on it and it is solid. It will be even more solid when I get the 1x16 planks on the outside, because they'll be joined by box joints and sit flush with the outside edge of the green 2x4's.

There are no fasteners or glue, just gravity and joinery. The whole thing was done with a circular saw.
