Bed frame out of construction brackets and lumber

Hi Everyone,
I am sooooooo tired. I spent a long, hot day cutting and assembling a full-sized bed frame out of construction lumber and construction brackets.
I must say the concept is good but needs a lot of refinement. Here are the two photos I have the strength to upload:
Heres all the stuff:

...and here is the bed:

For the most part the bed went together quite well. The construction brackets make this thing very strong and very sturdy. I think you could park a car on top of it.
Im going to make another one and next time Ill use better quality lumber and take more time to make it. Then Ill post the procedure and photos.
Its been super hot here today and Im a little dehydrated so Im going to go get something to drink and relax.
The gift boxes came out well. They need one more coat of varnish and then theyll be ready.
Ill do a Labor Day posting tomorrow.
Take care,
VW
