Fillman Platform Headboard

Drill 3/4" pocket holes around the side and top edges of the panel's back side, for attaching the legs and header in later steps.

On the front side of the panel, attach the trim with 1-1/4" finish nails and glue, clamping in place and nailing from the back to hide nail holes.

Attach the legs with glue and 1-1/4" pocket hole screws, flush to the top of the panel trim.

Attach the header flush to the back with even overhangs on both ends, using 1-1/4" pocket holes and wood glue.

Attach the panel to the legs with 1-1/4" pocket hole screws. Attach the base with 2-1/2" pocket hole screws.

Cut the moulding pieces and carefully position and attach with glue and 3/4" finish nails.

Sand all surfaces and apply primer and paint, or stain and poly.
