Move the switches out of the bathroom.

One long screw if a recipe for tilt and spin.

Use at least two fasteners to secure a butt joint.

Movement is fine, so long as it doesn't come apart. We're definitely not going for perfect, or even good looking, we just need functional.

Link doesn't work for me but I googled it and I think I know what you're talking about, this was the other option to drilling and screwing. Something like this here

Then you are pretty much limited to screws which are fine. Look up how they make houses and make a little version of that. The bed is the roof

Don't have a miter saw unfortunately. We're somewhat limited with what tools we have.

We've already made the bed, just got stuck at this part. We'll probably go with that option for now.

Those will work. If you want to hide the screw ends, you can countersink the screw and insert a dowel over it. There are also lots of decorative caps available that could be nailed and/or glued on top. I'm going to use these for an upcoming project. You could also veneer the entire face.

> Check the breaker.

> Check the GFCI outlets in the bathroom to see if any of them have been tripped. Sometimes those get daisy chained together, even though that's not the proper thing to do.

> Get a basic voltage tester pen. Take the pull the wall plate off the switches and see if any of the wires trigger the pen. If they do, kill the power at the breaker box (check again with the tester to verify). Then pull the switch out to make sure all of the connections are secure.

If none of those things work. Call an electrician. They are extremely worth it! Unsure who to call? Realtors are a great resource for recos.

Pull out the switch and make sure everything is still wired correctly. Use a multimeter with the switch disconnected to see if it is working correctly.

If they both stopped working at the same time I'd suggest checking the breaker. If the breaker is find turn it off and replace the switch. If that doesn't work move

Sometimes the breaker doesn't fully trip. To reset, you have to manually flip it and return to normal.

If it's not the breaker at the panel, look for a GFCI outlet on the line or trace the wires until you find the issue

If you can get them in your area, these are cheap and easy. It's best if you use the screws which are made for them.

Use the miter saw to cut dados if your saw can do it

The simplest and cheapest ways are to just use long screws in pre drilled holes. But without any support,it won't have a long life,I'm afraid.

You might be able to make it like this?

Ask 10 people, get 10 answers. If you are not fastening the two pieces directly to one another (glue, pocket jig, etc) there is always a chance they could move a little. Your brackets are fine from a structural standpoint, they might wiggle a little bit when they’re leaned on. I would personally attach across the back as well.

If I can skip the prep and glue then I can do one long screw. I found some 150mm ones I could buy, otherwise I found some cheap small brackets too. So I'm leaning most towards that or a single bracket on the back. They don't have to hold 100kgs. But I don't want them to come off if there's weight leaning back on them.

The simplest way is a butt joint where you butt one end piece to the flat side of another piece of wood.

You should prep each piece by roughing it up with some sanding and adding ample wood glue, then secure with nails or screws.

It’s not the prettiest or most structurally sound, but it’s the simplest.

thanks! I've got lots of options just choosing the best one

Yeah, I don't have much better suggestions. Maybe wood glue with smaller nails? I wish you luck and hope you get more answers

ok. I guess I could get something like these

Yeah, I think going across the wood with the nails I have, plus into the smaller cube pieces would probably not be ideal for them, but I don't know. Yeah I just have to weigh up the costs and effort of doing that + buying the long screws vs buying some brackets and using screws I already have.

Ok screws then. And pre drill the holes. Counter sink for nice finish

But it's going into the side of it and it's also then going into a smaller cubed piece of wood.

I did come across these when searching but I'm really trying for the cheapest and most simple options at the moment and I would have to buy some sort of pocket screw rig to make it work. It's just the head of the bed but it will had pressure on it (from pillows and sleeping up right sometimes for asthma). Someone else suggested that too which I didn't consider, if I mount it on the backsides that's where the pressure will be going so it might make sense. I drew a diagram for how I planed to use the bracket here.
