A few months ago I finished a queen size platform bed that took me quite some time to complete.  It's made of Cherry and Lyptus.  Festools were integral here as:

I used domino's to align the parts of the bed so that it can be taken apart and reassembled.
Alot of sanding with the 150/3.
lots of accurate cuts needed and done with the TS55
Alot of edge routing with the OF1400

I'm really happy with how it came out as I had many challenges -- a lot due to the size of the project and the amount of pieces - especially when finishing.

Unfortunately I didn't take alot of pics during the construction - I hope to do better with future work.  If anyone wants close up pics of certain areas, let me know.

Attached are my sketchup pics and then pics of the finished bed with and without the headboard (which I did a bit later)
