Thanks China, I figured they weren't the original brackets but I did have the bed together (somehow) with these brackets. I'll try dowels as Chief Tiff suggests. Thanks for replying.

Never thought of some dowels, yes the large holes are smooth sided. Thanks yes I also have some other screws to attach the brackets to legs but it didnt seem enough, guess I'll have to acquire more....

I took apart my bed and put brackets, bolts and nuts together. After 10 years storage I'm setting it up again but I'm stumped.
Yes there are too many holes in the legs of the frames BUT none of the...

Thanks Lappa. I’ll be setting it up to lay it down tomorrow then. Cheers.

Thanks Thumbthumper. That’s a new take on it. Will have to take off cupboard doors to lay down (or at least the handles). I was thinking of putting it on a large movers dolly to re-locate it so that...

Okay, thank you Xanthorrhoeas, Auscab, Potts, & Blackout, I hope you are still watching this thread as I am up to the next step but puzzled as to how to hold up the backing board, ensure it is...

I was thinking about my next project and saw that I had not put up final photos of my last. Please don't cringe when you see it, the joins of the top have let loose a little (probably as you knew...

Hi Rob,
Hope your still watching this thread. Local ‘Woodies’ group definitely inactive due to Covid and even if they had flat cauls I would need someone there to help me use it. After pondering...

Thanks Rob for that great advice. I have got some clamps not sash clamps but I am lucky(?) enough to have a picture framers clamp which was great for the drawer. Will sleep on it, check the dowels...

Okay more photos. Yes if you are calling the legs the whole corner piece it has come adrift clearly showing the 'pegs' at the top in one photo, which is why the drawer runners have dropped out of...

Thank you for that comprehensive answer Rob. I’ll take photos of the piece as a whole as you suggested and put them up. I checked the legs when I first started and they seem to be still fixed in...

476751476752476750I have my great grandmothers dresser. Unfortunately it slightly drifted apart in storage or transportation. I have put 1 drawer back together and am happy enough with the result...
