jmoore - It sounds like your wanting to build your own bed starting with unfinished wood. From what I've been able to search, no one has posted the actual mounting hole locations/patterns. Some of our usual vendors that sell board kits offer to drill the holes for you as an additional service or part of the kit cost (depending on which ones you buy from). They have the templates but aren;t sharing.
If you want to know who those vendors are, let me know and I will provide some links for you.
In reading through posts by other Bolters doing their own bed boards, the majority seemed to indicate that the boards were cut to length/width and edges grooved (as required) using the specs from "GMC Paul" that Fibonachu noted above. Once that's all done you move on to placing the bed, boards, strips set on the frame in the proper place and squaring it up, then drilling the holes from the underside (up through the mounting points in the frame) with an extended length bit which will provide your basic hole location. Then you switch to the top side and finish the bolt hole and bore the counter sink recess for the offset washers so your whole placement is all lined up and ready for hardware.
Make sense?
