I have a client that needs bed rails repaired. They were made out of plywood and had cross rails attached to them. At each end there is a metal hook looking plate that hooks the rails to the headboard and footboard.
I plan to replace the split plywood with one by, maple boards.
My question is how have y'all mounted the headboard/footboard attachment plates ??
These plates were originally mounted inside a kerf in the plywood and then pinned with small pins.
I have no way to cut a kerf big enough to accept these plates.
Could I just route a recess on the inside of the board and mount the plate in the recess????
Thanks
Dave
