Fortunately the Family have been more interested in the Swimming Pool than me, allowing me to get into the workshop, and get on with some work, on the bedside tables / night stands.
As a result I have assembled the tops, and sides, minus the trim, using pocket hole screws and glue, sanded them with 80 grit, until they are all level, next I will attach the trim, before continuing the sanding.
I have also sanded the side trim and the legs.
Like the bed, these will end up sanded to 320 grit, but that will take time.
