Great vid. Exactly what I was looking for. I'm about to upcycle a double bed into a single loft bed and I like the way the bed frame fits on the posts. Thanks
I loved the bed I just wish you had added a little more step by step and provided more explanation. I am seeking to build a bed for my daughter and would have loved to make this bed but since I am new to all this your video is too brief for my entry type skill level. I think you did an amazing job though!!
This is awesome. I've been looking for a simple design just like this, but I think I would forgo the screws/glue, and use threaded inserts and bolts so it could be taken apart multiple times. I would also make notches for slats instead of using a single piece of MDF. Personally my idea bed would have this exact style, but functionally should be easy to take apart and move.
Trying to come up with A diy project for my daughter room. This video gives me hope. My 2 year old son absolutely love the music he decided to come over to me and start dancing and check out what I was watching.😀
Now this is something i want! If I paint it white and add a nice headboard, then i'd be all set! Great video! I'll send it to my dad and see if we can do it ourselves too!
@@keithworrell8171 I made this exact type of bed, and used a memory foam (closed cell) mattress on it. No mold in over 8 years. Correct your opinion accordingly.
Good, but make sure you drill a few holes in the bottom panel, so that mattress have good air circulation. Otherwise it could arise mold with some time ;)
Thanks for thinking of me but it must be the angle in the video. I've still got all my fingers, I thought the router was easily the deadliest tool of the day.
Hi! How well is the bed holding up? I want to make a similar one in twin xl size. But as an obese individual weighing 100 kg, I worry if it would be right for me. Care to review it?
Granted you're not wrong. But I'm not a joiner, I'm a baker and borrowed most of the tools. So it was DIY for me. I could have used completely different tools and built a different bed.
Good video. If I understand correctly you are saying that the measures of the legs is 6" thickness X 4" Width and the other tables of 4" thickness x 2" width. Thanks for your answer. Greetings and regards
I was curious. As of April 2016, I can buy an 8 foot long "2x4" board from Home Depot for approximately $2.39 US. I am under the impression this video is made and produced across the pond and or mainland Europe. I recently bought wood in Sonora, Mexico - at the Home Depot in Hermosillo. Wood is more expensive in Mexico due to the softwood and lumber trade restrictions between Canada and the U.S. The wood I bought was sourced from northern Mexico and at the time the peso was trade at 1 U.S. dollar to 16 pesos. The cost was very close to the U.S. price, however, adjusting for Mexican wages this explains why concrete and brick are more commonly used given the relatively expensive price. Thank you sir.
Thank you David McLuckie! Well you make excellent clean cuts to your wood so that should at least make good use of your supplies. Kind regards, Jim Cameron
This is true, but at the request of the bed owners wife the mattress was to completely cover the frame. You could use non slip mats to stop a mattress moving. This mattress being a heavy one hasn't moved.
What is missing: Drill LOTS of holes in the MDF. Mattresses are supposed to be able to breathe through the bottom, that is why most beds have "slats" instead of plywood.
We aren't really the measuring sort. Apart from making the bed big enough for the mattress everything else was guesswork. We didn't know if would fit in the house until after we finished.
+Roy Hardwick You could but there were several reasons for getting rid of the old bed. One of them being smashing your shins into the sides as they stuck out several inches past the mattress.
May you give me a full description on the products that were used; measurements of the wood, what kind of wood(s) etc. that best fits for a full size bed
I was more than happy to search out this video-channel.I wished to thanks in your time for this glorious video!! I positively enjoying each little bit of it and I have you bookmarked to take a look at new stuff you video post.
Very cool design, although I'm probably going to rout some slots for the support beams just to make it even sturdier. Thanks for posting this. Oh, and here's an obligatory "dude, watch your fingers" remark.
***** That's an excellent idea. Your other option is to glue and screw a U shaped section for the support beams to slot into, means you aren't removing any material from the sides. Thanks for the fingers tip, made me chuckle.
Gra Piken I dont think it should be this complicated. I m going to build my own...get Lowes to cut the pieces to length and the legs dont have to be like that with slots. Remember when we build shelves by laying the planks on bricks? I'm going to just nail my sides, top and bottom to some square, squat pieces of wood.
Gra Piken lowes or home depot gives classes on such as this. They will cut your lumber to the size you ask for....all you have to do is nail it together
my friend thought this was a good idea years ago, turns out the reason the have panels is so that the air can get in through the mattress freely, if the air cant do that, you get this lovely build up of mold layering under the mattress, due to sweat and god knows what else! DONT DO IT LIKE THIS!!!!
+Big Red Well there is no mould under the mattress. I'd also like to point out that there are a great many storage beds with solid mattress bases. Please also complain to those manufacturers.
Good Job.. IM doing one soon I will make sure to post my version..my hat is off to ya mate... minimal tools... I'm a little different.. I use cheap materials.. like you as well.. however I have a knack for making them look much more expensive than they are...2 weeks I should have something to share.. Cheers..
I enjoyed your video, you did a nice job on your bed,but my goodness you gave me the willies when seeing you use the circular saw. Be carefull! God only gave us 10 fingers!
Thank you for this video. I had one simple question and it may be irrelevant. Do you ever get nervous having your hands so close to the moving blades and in this regard, has anyone brought this up before? You obviously know what you are doing, but I am clutz and so I err on the side of being really risk avoidant. Thanks!
Is it necessary to plane the 2x4 studs? I guess it won't matter much if they are already fairly straight. Try not to get the extremely warped/bowed studs, I guess.
Good god. No venting ? I live in Japan and when you sleep there is steam which condenses on the bottom of the mattresses. Without the racks thered be mould. I like your production quality though. :)
Whatever you want them to be, and construction grade pine. No. Seriously. Just go do it. Wood type isn't important if you don't care about the color (which you probably dont as you'd stain or paint the bed, not use special oils to make the natural wood color pop.
My only suggestion. would be instead of 2x4 for the sides. Use 2x8, then use a 2x4 to act as a supporting brace under the slats. Because when it gets down to it, each slat is only supported by 6 screws.
krukera19 The mattress is indeed just placed on the top. But it's a heavy one and doesn't move. If you have an issue with it sliding you could use non-slip matting underneath.

Man I closed my eyes with your fingers that close to the blade 🤣 but we'll done looks great 👍🏻
Please you guys, don't get your hands so close to the blade. This is a. Cool way to do it
I've slept on this exact bed and can confirm it is both solid and comfortable. Good job guys!
Thanks Dan.

Really nice bed design by the way , great for under bed storage
I made a smiliar design and definitely worth it, cost me around $40 and will probably last a lifetime. Thanks for the video :)
Finally, I sturdy project! I’m tired of seeing beds and chairs built with pocket screws bearing weight! I’m 210! I need a bed I can rock around!!
I recently slept on this actual bed, I can confirm it was very comfortable! Well done lads!
Fanks.
This is brilliant, I think I'm going to shrink this design down for my camper. Just need to find some 6x4 posts. Nowhere seems to sell them.
Now this is something i want! If I paint it white and add a nice headboard, then i'd be all set! Great video! I'll send it to my dad and see if we can do it ourselves too!
You must drill many holes to desk under mattress because mattress need fresh air and be ventilated more than you have
Exactly what I was thinking. As is, mold will destroy the bed and frame within a couple years.
@@keithworrell8171 I made this exact type of bed, and used a memory foam (closed cell) mattress on it. No mold in over 8 years. Correct your opinion accordingly.
Best bed making video EVER!!!
It's a miracle that you're both still alive. I'll put up another comment if I'm still alive after making mine!
This is exactly the type of bed I was looking for. Some are saying "that's a table". That's perfect for some of us lol.
Are your fingers still complete?
Can you please make a video on what are the materials you use and its sizes
I LOVE this video. Not only does it look drop dead simple, it's exactly what i wanted!! Thanks so much for posting!
The perfect valentine gift. 😍
very good work, gave me the guidelines to do something similar, I am a beginner, thank you, greetings and blessings.
It amazes me you have fingers.
This is really brilliant, my dad and I are going to try this
Good, but make sure you drill a few holes in the bottom panel, so that mattress have good air circulation. Otherwise it could arise mold with some time ;)
Nope. Did the same exact bed type. 8 years, not a lick of mold. and this was in a house that had mold.
Exactly what I was looking for! You made this super simple...Thank you so much!!
The coolest video I ever see on YT.

Mold will love the mattress
their just jealous u made an awesome bed!!!!!
Alot of people don't have fancy ass tools. Diys should be for all audience

Rookie Mistake#1
Keep your fingers far away from moving parts.

That's a table...
A table big enough and low enough to sleep on lol
With a mattress on. So it's aaam... a bed
LetoZeth that’s what I need lol
Excellent build.
I was waiting for blood all over the place . I'm glad you have all your fingers.
Take old bedframe, place on top of new bedframe?
+Roy Hardwick You could but there were several reasons for getting rid of the old bed. One of them being smashing your shins into the sides as they stuck out several inches past the mattress.

Really really want to know how much materials cost

What is the size of this bed .Please mention all size
How do you call this type of saw that you are using.
Nice project I like it
How many fingers will this guy lose from using the skill saw like he does ????????
I love your filming and editing job! So awesome.
Many thanks.
Hi what kind of wood is it?
Pine.
in my opinion, the mdf don't allow the mattress get "breath"
i prefer put a ripped to support it
Good shit. Way to keep it simple and actual DIY friendly
How many inches tall did you cut the post for this frame?
still got all your fingers mate ?
Probably can’t reply with no fingers so I guess not.
Yup, all 7 of them 👍
We should worry since he never replied to you.
No shit
yeah really you had them so close to the blade that was the first thing i noticed, LOL

And is this for a queen size bed?
This is great. I wish I knew someone good at this stuff...
+Gra Piken Become that person!
scorpion8rage I do think about it. But a middle aged woman doing something like this... I wouldn't know where to begin
+Gra Piken Take a class :)

OMG. That's the bed I was looking for. Thanks for sharing the video
I think its kinda clean looks if the beam is slightly down to make the flaywood flat ..
Good Job.. IM doing one soon I will make sure to post my version..my hat is off to ya mate... minimal tools... I'm a little different.. I use cheap materials.. like you as well.. however I have a knack for making them look much more expensive than they are...2 weeks I should have something to share.. Cheers..
SuperRudeDog Now that would be an interesting video, how to achieve professional results with cheap material.
Honest question, how are those dry wall screws holding up?
Still fine. It's been dismantled and rebuilt a few times for house moving.
What is that like a 2 inch router bit, but you set the height to 1 1/2 inch?
Love the final instructions - toss the old bed. Well done and very funny.
I enjoyed your video, you did a nice job on your bed,but my goodness you gave me the willies when seeing you use the circular saw. Be carefull! God only gave us 10 fingers!
Nice. I think I'm gonna give it a try. Thanks
That was great, except for the fingers on the saw. I have a better idea what I want to do now. Thanks!
Best bed diy video
Looks.good. What's the name of that sander?
Great Video on a DIY Bed Frame. I Thank the guy that put it together... But the Obvious part is how to loose your finger as everyone else stated. :-)
Thank you for this video. I had one simple question and it may be irrelevant. Do you ever get nervous having your hands so close to the moving blades and in this regard, has anyone brought this up before?

+Jim Cameron I am not a professional. Please take all safety precautions seriously. But also have fun, because if it's not fun, what's the point?
I was thinking the same....:/
+David “Big Dave” McLuckie good Video you schould check out my channel would be cool
FOR REALLLL THATS WHAT I SAID AS SOON AS THE VIDEO STARTED, THATS NO JOKE, KEEP YOUR HANDS AWAY BRO!!
Jim Cameron
Is it necessary to plane the 2x4 studs? I guess it won't matter much if they are already fairly straight. Try not to get the extremely warped/bowed studs, I guess.
It wasn't so much the straightness, but the finish of the wood. We bought cheap rough cut timber and planed it just to make it look a little nicer.
nice work
Good teaching and more lesson to learned
This is awesome,My old bed is gone..Thanx men,keep it up...
WHAT KIND OF WOOD IS IT
Wouldn't like to try and get that bed up a narrow staircase, also no finishing of the wood, sanding, varnishing, wax etc,, good DIY bed......
Actually it's been up and down many staircases. It all unscrews into sections. :)
Could you just use a couple or more beams for air flow and just forget about the plywood or better yet, use the plywood to make a headboard?
You could even use bamboo to make slats.
I recently made a bed similar to yours. I used your video as inspiration.
Can we get a materials list please?
Why not, it's Christmas. I'll add it to the description.
Massively reinforce the weight bearing capacity of the legs, and attach horizontal members without any bracing, because reasons.
Buen trabajo, solo una pregunta ¿de que espesor es la plancha de madera que lleva encima de todo?
Yeah baby 👶 this is the one! Thanks for sharing!
Can you give me step by step tutorial of this project?
Good god. No venting ? I live in Japan and when you sleep there is steam which condenses on the bottom of the mattresses. Without the racks thered be mould. I like your production quality though. :)
Nice video can u disclose
1. What is the machine used for cutting wood , smooth and machine that cut edges.
I think you might be asking about the electric planer.
So what happens when one needs to unbolt and move to another room or house???
That. You just undo the screws and move it. It's moved house four times now, takes about 10 minutes to dismantle.
Nice. Those are some really solid legs!
What are the measurements for this build, and what type of wood was used also?
Whatever you want them to be, and construction grade pine. No. Seriously. Just go do it. Wood type isn't important if you don't care about the color (which you probably dont as you'd stain or paint the bed, not use special oils to make the natural wood color pop.
Where can I get 6x4 timber for the bed corners? I can only see max 4x4 fence post on Wickes site here in UK..
It's the furniture I want. I like wooden furniture.
Got mold under my mattress. Pretty sure the cross braces under the bed are for ventilation / evaporation.
My only suggestion. would be instead of 2x4 for the sides. Use 2x8, then use a 2x4 to act as a supporting brace under the slats. Because when it gets down to it, each slat is only supported by 6 screws.
***** Into a contact that's only 2x4 wide/ the screws may be rated to that weight. But the lumber will split before it reaches that.
Hi,question.... did u just placed the mattress on the top of the platform? Wouldnt it slip off or move sideways?
krukera19 The mattress is indeed just placed on the top. But it's a heavy one and doesn't move. If you have an issue with it sliding you could use non-slip matting underneath.
the best table bed......
You could put a zero clearance adjustable base on that because it’s built so sturdy.
Top job mate, I respect the no-nonsense big is best mantra! Like it!
Just wondering if you still currently have all your fingers?
