This is a first for me. I mixed some metal work with wood. I had the metal power coated. The design is off the web slightly modified to match our current furniture. I had to make my own form to bend the 3/8" metal rod. The top is 2" meta tube. The bottom is 3/4" x 1/8" flat bar. I made a wood jig to weld it up. The hollow corner post are 5" joined with biscuits on the miters. I started it in November. The metal came back from the power coater today. Our old bed was a queen wood slat sleigh bed. My wife wanted something slightly different. My welding skills aren't the greatest but I think it turned out pretty good. The wife is thrilled so all is good. Thanks for looking.
