Trying to take a few pictures along the way of my first serious project, a queen size bed frame for the wife and I. I went with Poplar for the wood because it's cheap and easy to work with.
First step was preparing the legs. found a long piece of ~3"x6" wood at the lumber yard and ripped it in half by hand to get 3"x3" legs. Used by jack plane and jointer plane to clean them up.
