How can I convert keyhole fullsize (aka Plate-and-hook) next queen? It is an iron headboard antique footboard and side rail. The headboard and footboard where women were receiving the side rails of a man "button" found in the receiver. It is easily converted to the width as the bed base to sit on the crossbars wider, but I need 5 inches longer and do not know how to convert.
I go to a local high school which offers courses in business or perhaps even the local community college and ask a teacher if they can recommend a student. There are a lot of talent there. I have a rail and they can be redrawn with the necessary extra inches. Keep the old rails in case you want to do something in the future with the whole being.
