Murphy Bed with Cheap $20 Hardware
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ม.ค. 2018
- How to build a wooden Murphy wall bed with twenty dollar hardware. Save a TON of money by not buying an off the shelf Murphy bed kit for almost $300 and make your own with these simple boat seat swivel bearings.
The wall bed is made from 3/4" red oak PureBond plywood and the design is my own, which you can find plans for below, but is similar to other designs you will see. In total you will need 5 sheets of plywood to complete the bed. I skipped over the shelf build in the video as I would like to make a dedicated video for that later but you will need QTY 3 3/4" sheets and QTY 2 1/4" sheets of plywood to make the additional shelves on either side of the bed.

Loved seeing your pint-size helper using the vacuum while dad drilled holes in the side boards. Teach 'em early and they'll have good work habits for a lifetime. And wonderful memories of helping daddy.
I plan to buy your plans for one very specific reason. I loved hearing your kid in the background. You didn’t kick him out. He was a part of the experience. Good dad, good plans.
Well planned bedframe. The Lazy Susan bearings are such a cheap and easy option with many being rated for a couple hundred pounds. *Your push stick though, oh boy no wonder you were uncomfortable. I built a sword style with a handguard in the center and then at the very end to accommodate my safety needs. It's been great for everything and awkward pieces I can still easily grapple with it from whichever side, and use a scrap stick for the other.*
28 years ago, a massive piece of plywood yanked my hand into the blade.
I lost an index finger tip that completely grew back, and the ring finger pad was totally blown open but the doctor flopped the pieces in, put in a few "Dr. Frankenstein" looking stitches, and it healed really well.
*I did not touch a table saw for another 13 years!*
I was and am an ultra elite level guitarist and that happened to my left hand, *the string hand!*
Bought your full size plans about a month ago. Built the bed in a low ceiling spot, with an angled hip wall, and had to convert it to a horizontal build. Had to build unit in place, as bed box and cabinetry would not have rounded the corner up the stairs and into the room built in the attic. Added a bookshelf to the top in the remaining space. Came out pretty good. Had to use it this week for company, and it wasn't entirely finished. Finished trim work tonight, and will prep and stain in the next few days. Thanks for getting me started!
I have to do a horizontal build. show pictures. I would love to see the bed.
I now offer plans for a full size bed, horizontal.
I am not a carpenter but I love you masterpiece including the little guys help and your wife. Great job!
I love that your son was working right along with you. Looks like he just loves to be around Dad!
The quarantine brought me here. I gotta say there’s no way I can build that because I lack all the tools and space to put it together but I enjoyed the video. And the kiddo helping around 🙂
I'm going to find the macguyver version
I bought the plans for a double and queen Murray bed and didn't get them
I’ve built one with a hand saw. Anything is possible.
Fantastic project, Tyler! You explained everything very well, and the wood finish looks quite elegant. Plus, I love that glue squeeze-out straw trick!
Love to watch how your son was a little handy around. Look like he really enjoy working alongside with you. How lovely.
Great Job, great video. It is awesome to see you having your kids help and just being around your work.
Thank you for making this video. I just discovered your channel today and wish I would have a long time ago. I have plans to make one of these beds in the near future and this is very easy to follow. I really like that you have your little boy help in the shop. That is incredibly important not only for learning but for bonding as well. My little boy is going to college next year so I'm already getting nostalgic for the early days.
Tech Tip:
You mentioned that you had a tough time holding the large frame with various clamps etc. What I have done in the past is get a ratchet strap or put 2 together to get the desired length. Wrap it all the way around the frame and gently ratchet it together. It will hold even pressure around the entire frame and give you the rigidity you need to adjust your joints and shoot in the screws.
Great tip I will use next week!
Very good and smart of you to have an expert helper there, your son, vacuuming up the sawdust. Nothing better than teaching the young how to do things. I learned a lot from my dad by helping him and him teaching me. Thanks.
Great build. I loved how your little assistant was so helpful. It's hard to get grown folks to do this kinda work nowadays. Great parenting, keep it up.
I always wanted one of these beds in the spare room as space is tight but couldn't afford one. You've inspired me to make one - I just have to convince the husband to go away to spend a long weekend at his brothers and it will be a nice suprise when he comes back ! Thanks for a great video.
did u manage to finish it then?! :D
I haven't encountered many cats that are into woodworking or even able to use power tools
@@martuni1539 - I know, right??? I thought I was hearing things! 😂 My cats are very lazy and just sleep all day while I'm at work!
I wish you had a how to video for literally everything. You explain everything so well, have good camera angles on key parts of the project, and you have a way of stopping talking to let us digest whatever step you just described with such great pacing.
I'm a tile guy, I don't know a thing about video editing and production. I'm certainly not the best judge out there but you really seem to have a talent at this, both woodworking and educating. Sub'd
This is beautiful work... and your little man watching and helping is even more wonderful. To those doing this and using the bolts... I have an existing murphy I use daily, and this is how I anchor mine too (bought the bed used and original top clip was shot). I'm looking at making one for a sunroom as a summer bedroom and this is perfect! Thanks!
I am so impressed with your young assistant: he will ask for a bigger paycheck at the end of this project! I look at him and remembered my son when he was his age. Now he is graduating from engineering at Penn State U. Thanks for this awesome video. A real inspiration for many.
I am about to build a Murphy Bed for my Travel Trailor. The main difference is that mine will be a horizontal build. Thank you for the incredibly informative video. You made the project feel accessible and manageable for people with little to no experience. I am pleased that there are more affordable hardware options like this one.
I want to thank Tyler for answering my question about the depth of outer frame .I built this bed using thong and groove 1x5 knotty pine. This was much cheaper than using plywood because of the pandemic raising the prices of big box lumber. It came out just great a little heavy for folding . I also added 3 in. to the outer shell as suggested by Peter Lowe because my mattress is 17 in. thick I also added a extra 5 in to the top of bed box. When we first folded it shut the open the mattress stuck nothing a strap did not fix you just have to take strap off before sleeping. It only took me a week to build thanks to the great plans and some helpful hints. Also my wife helped and her help was greatly appreciated!
Murphy beds are just so sweet. Nice work!
First time I've seen someone I subscribe to comment on another video
This project looks great! Your little guy is awesome help, he's great with the shop vac! Great instructions too.
You are so talented in woodworking and instructing. I could never build anything like this, but it was interesting and fun to watch and I came away with a couple of clever tips, namely mixing stain with topcoat and removing excess glue with a straw. Thanks for this very nicely done video!
you could probably just drill 4 holes through each mounting plate and screw them in, no need for bolts. 8 screws can hold a lot of combined weight. I've seen other people add in gas struts for car boots and other mechanisms to offset the bed weight. Looks like an easy enough addition to your project. Great job.
Excellent tutorial! Best you tube diy video out there by far! quick, to the point, clear information, how to’s, links and best part plans..thank you so much! Can’t wait to try the build.
You have an adorable mini me.
So thank you for making this.
Your instructions were easy to follow with your helpful tips.
And was a fun project to do with my own mini me version.
Actually my son is not so much a mini me anymore, and more of a much larger grown out version mini me.
We both enjoyed doing this project together.
And thank you again for making this presentation!
Sincerely best regards from Rob and Seth, Seattle Washington.
I love that your kid is behaving well and doing his own project. I clicked on this video to make my own but changed my mind once you showed your workshop lol
This is my first time watching diytyler. I just knew there had to be a cheaper way to DIY Murphy bed hardware. Thank you!
Great job Tyler, you have inspired me to build bunk beds for my two grandsons on your other video which I thought was fantastic. I really like this idea for temporary bed service for guests and your room is back to normal when they leave.
Good stuff, love it.
Al
Use it and then hide it! Thanks for watching Al!
I'd like to find a place for your Murphy bed in my next cabin. Glad to see the little man helping out. That is so important at his age. You will reap a reward when he gets older.
Wow i am impressed and you're the first one with a great solution and how to do it. And the finish is awesome. 👍👍👍
Great Job and I love the pocket hole jig I think it’s an awesome invention makes life easy.
Best built I've seen so far! Thank you! PS: I've been using clear coat finish and tinting with stain for many years. I don't have an expensive sprayer, I roll it on with a foam roller.
I went through a ton of videos on YT, this one is the what I need. Elegant design in less price. Thank you very much.
I like your shop so organized and really compact and useful. I see you put to drawers on the 2 sides of meter saw to hold your stuff you are working on. thats so smart.
I'm a little unclear on why TH-cam thinks that I have either the inclination or the ability to build this...lol... But I really enjoyed watching. A really well made video and your shop help is adorable!
I have watched this video several times and I never get tired of watching it, someday I will do it, it makes it look so easy I don't have your knowledge to know the exact measurements, when I am going to do it I will go in and look for the Necessary measures, thanks for sharing this video
Thanks. I was going to do this exact build. It’s nice to see I’m thinking like you already in it’s construction. Great video.
the little helper made this vid awesome. look at him vacuuming.
Great videos, and great finished results, I think that is what we are all looking for in our projects The finished results!!! Great Job Tyler!!
Excellent work. Simplest to build, I've seen so far
Overall build and that finest stain finish is just amazing.
That liitle kid of yours will outsmart you when he grows if he's always helping around when you build something. Nice build
Absolutely a great video! I love how you made it very straight forward and easy to understand. I would also kill for your workshop! Great job.
These are hands down the most brilliant Murphy Bed building plans I’ve come across so far. And I’ve been searching online for months! Thank you for this!!!!!
Glad to have helped!
Hi Bro. Tyler, God bless you and your family!
I built a wall of various depth of shelves 30 years ago using 3/4” birch plywood and discovered the iron on veneer tape and it has held up well. I used Minwax Antique Oil Finish without a stain but it gave the wood a deeper look with a soft sheen and it has held up well despite having plastic bins of fabric and other items sliding across them without not having to be retouched. The tape on the edge made the shelves appear solid and was so easy to apply. We had recently moved in at the time and I wanted something that could quickly be completed without the typical multiple steps for traditional finish. I remarried 6 years ago and my husband who has become interested in woodworking had never heard of the veneer tape. They did have the typical glue on variety back then but I had more than 40 feet of shelving. We have talked about a Murphy bed in one of the bedrooms which drew me towards your video. Very nicely done!
Really enjoy seeing your little helper. Would like to see more. THANKS!
So excited to try this bed project myself. Thanks Tyler....looking forward to more good coaching!
What a fantastic addition to the office. The finish is spectacular too. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Great job Tyler! That looks fantastic. I especially like the idea of mixing the stain and clear coat.
Keep up the great work
Thanks for sharing
+Roy Wrenn Saves a TON of time! Thanks for watching Roy!
I like how mini Tyler is all setup to watch n learn
Your little boy totally makes the video. I'll be buying these plans. thanks
Wow that looks beautiful! I love the finish, I never thought to mix the stain and clear coat... great idea.
Huge time saver!
Amazing I would like to make one, thanks for your elaborated technical skills
Just what I'm looking for....thanks Tyler beautiful craftsmanship!!!
EXCELLENT, SUPERB and PROFESSIONALLY Built my friend!! I certainly have the utmost respect for someone who does not edit out an "overlook". GREAT JOB and Video, Tyler.
+Orange Rocket Good to hear, Thanks for watching!
Really nice job finish looked great and good to see the little one helping out
Great project. Keep the younger helper engaged!!! It's the same way I learned
Another great job Ty. I again commend you for getting the kids involved.
Thanks Dave!
Thanks for the 'alternative' mechanism. I love it!
Oh man. That little guy used to be me in my dads shop. Love it. PS - love how clean your shop is..
That Murphy wall bed is perfect. I need one in my small office to make room for my grand kids when they come over. Looks very sturdy and simple and not much time to make. Thanks for the vider, gonna give it a shot.
Good luck! Thanks for the sub!
Hey, lets see what your little boy is making! Love it!
beautifully built
Nice work, and nice explanations. thanks for sharing!
I really enjoyed this video, and am thinking about a murphy for my son's apartment (which was my formal livingroom). On a personal note, I am very impressed you are starting your boy off right helping in your shop and his wearing eye protection. Some folks don't really understand how important that is, and I want to compliment you on leading by example.
Lame
MrShatterGames Have some respect.
@@annestratinga4157 have some respect for how much I hate eye protection
@@XtheEntX Have fun poking your eye out and living blind one day
@@KawaiiKandikidPLURR im to quick, nothing is going to go into my eyes
Awesome Job .. I liked the involvement of your kid and wife :D
Your skills are awesome, very impressive. Wish I had your skills great job
definitely using this style of floating shelves in our bathroom remodel...as always, looks great!
Such a great helper you have. Right there for you the whole time.
Great job I love this idea of yours. The paint job is beautiful. I would love to have this in spare bedroom / office. This would work great for us. Thank you so much.
You have an outstanding helper.
Fantastic workshop.
That came out nice. Great job Tyler!!
Excellent!! You have a very well equipped shop.
Love the shelf design for the legs! Great idea!
When I saw the thumbnail, I thought to myself, What a good finish. Haha you had the little guy help you. Nice video.
Nice wood working shop and nice work. Nice video too. And you have one of the a coolest shop supervisor kid!
Good video. Thanks for great information. Love your little helper,. What a great job for him.
Nice job! I particularly liked your tip with using the straw to remove extra glue!
Love the face grain on your plywood panels. Nice build.
Man you have one of the coolest and cleanest shops i have eve seen. Major Envy :)
Seriously, this is the best version of this that I have seen!!! Thank you so so much!!!! #SUBSCRIBED
Fantastic job! Looks so good!
A very nice build. I’ve been wanting to make one of these for a while and am glad you’ve done such a good job with the video. Subscribed, liked!
Owww that little guy with his protection gargles on vacuming the saw dust was the whole you tube special it took my freaking heart away!!!! I had to go back to see it a few time
Just downloaded the plans. Looking forward to making it. Sounds like something I can do. Thank you
Really nice project. Congratulations from Canary islands Spain
Wow your work table is amazing.
I am so glad I watched your video . I was so lost with how I was supposed to build this. I only wish my brother's were there to help me move it into place. I would love to have that little man to vacuum for me. 😊
That is really great.....a really simple design, but nicely done....Love that.....I am an avid woodworker, but was afraid of this type of project...I think I will try this.....Thank you!~!~
Nice job. It's a relatively simple build, but looks really good. Thanks for the vid.
Are you able to close this with a completely made bed with pillows? That is the only flaw I can see. This is beautiful, practical, and very functional piece otherwise. Your son is adorable. Nice parenting. :) Thanks for the video.
Love this build, something I may end up building!
Great build!! Just what I was looking for!
well organized shop ,construction, and planning. A-PLUS.
THIS was, what I was looking for 😁
Thanks 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I love your workshop.
Very smart build. Like how you use the shelves as a bed base. 2 suggestions. 1st, for your your corner attachment. Get some of those inexpensive 90° clamps that are about 1 1/2" wide. 2nd, in the video you should have mentioned what you used for the swivel. I'm going to mention that those are $10 boat swivel seat bases. I have them on my boat. It takes a bit to swivel around which makes it a great use for something like this. GREAT JOB!
This is fabulous! But I want a queen size and I'm not confident enough to makes the changes in the plans! Beautiful and you did a great job of describing what you were doing!
Very impressive! Looks better than most murphy beds out there.
