no sorry steve, i made it up as i went along. i can, however, offer my lessons learned:

since we were using memory foam mattresses, i had to contact the manufacturer to ask about slat size (evidently, it made a big difference). i used 1x6 for the perimeter and 1x4 for the slats for the top support. all put together  with kreg screws. i made this part 2" narrower than the width of the actual mattress.

each drawer rests on 2x4 frame, which gets it up off the floor to avoid stubbed toes when making the beds. think kitchen cabinet with no toe kick :/

3/4 birch plywood for the drawer boxes

solid drawer front and at the foot

the bed is meant to slide into a corner, with a nightstand at the head, so no drawer at the head

i had to cart these pieces up a spiral staircase, so each drawer is its own complete piece. once all the pieces were in the room, i used 1.25" wood screws to join it all together

all told, i made 5 storage beds; 2 queens and 3 twins

Product Reviews

New Kreg 720Pro

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.

I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.

First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
