One of the most challenging wood working projects I ever attempted was making a pencil post bed with 8 sided tapered vertical posts that had a floating mortis and tennon headboard. Thank god for good plans!

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Very interesting piece of furniture, doing the 8 sided is hard enough but with a tapper Wow ! Table saw with a jig of some sort ? You could build planes with that skill. Lots of thought and maybe some trial and error, thats how I make a lot of plane parts trial and error , all custom fit to the old fittings. The thing I hate is that once we figure out how to make a part we never have to make it again so its always a new cut, angle or different wood .
