Nice work. Don't ya' love those rails? We have what was my moms bed when she was a girl, it has tubular iron posts and tube head and foot with big spun brass cap finials on the end posts; and those angle iron rails with the cast iron wedge key fittings on the ends. They are worn enough that if one isn't careful, they will slip almost half way through to the other side, so I installed some eye bolts into the corner tubes and made a wire rope bridle that crosses corner to corner, and tightening the turn buckles pulls the whole thing together tight, and I can also square it up with them. I had it powder coated white, polished the brass up, and with one of our hand made quilts for a bed spread, it looks great. It will be passed on to one of our grand daughters.
