I live in a poor country(Romania),you have no idea how much you've helped me look cool and have a house i love to stay in
I visited a friend in Bucharest in 2006. Getting equipment and supplies seemed to be a big challenge back then. We spoiled Americans don't realize how blessed we are! Hope you much success on your projects!
Romania is poor?
Kirk Sansom little do you know bud some of us “Americans” actually fuckin feel like shit having all this over other family’s. Speak for all of America again n I’ll slap the shit outa u.
@@jamarwiggins9703 ok brut
@@jamarwiggins9703 I think he was just making an observation that it's easy to forget
"I believe I could build that" has go to be not only one of the more frequent comments, but also a great compliment. Well done you!
When I was much younger I loved water beds... I was also an avid bike rider... so I took some bike wheels and an old wooden column and made a head board... I cut the column in half and mounted to the wall... then I arranged the wheels to looking like the head board of an old iron bed... then pretty much did the same thing he did when making the bed frame for the water bed... I still do a lot of building... I built oak cabinets in my old house.... I also got a ton of old cedar boards and made my own parquet floor.. I’ve built a rolling island for my mother-in-law for Christmas one year from reclaimed barn wood.. I even built my youngest son’s changing table ( favorite project ever ) my wife loved how beautiful it was she wanted as a rolling island kinda like what I made for her mother with it... both have granite tops...also something just came back into my possession was a solid oak chopping block I built when I was 15 years old....and it’s also still beautiful too

Great video! I will be building this very soon. Im starting to get the pieces. I have the plans, thank you for making those available. The only thing I'm having trouble with is finding a similar distribution block. I'm finding car audio in my searches.
DIY Creators ii
Ok
This my new favorite channel. I'm not handy but I like watching other people do this stuff.
Nice Thank you :D.
What a bed.I realy like your bed and your channel too.Great job man.
This dude is ...SUPERMAN!... It's hard for me to watch these kind of videos...Because these guys aren't only...DESIGNING THE FURNITURE...THEY CREATING AN "HOW TO VIDEO"...TEACHING THEIR SUBSCRIBERS WITH QUESTION AND ANSWER SECTIONS...AND STILL HAVE A LIFE!...THIS IS CRAZY!...GREAT JOB!
Thanks, man it's a challenge, but when you're passionate you'll find a way.
Ditto!!!
lennysvibe I agree. total respect! it would be hard enough making a video like this... add the quality and looks of this bed... amazing
It's amazing indeed, no words can describe this incredibly stunning job. !!
That bed is sick buddy nice job
This isn't a DIY anymore, it's a wonderful free masterclass! 😊
You're the live example of "Hard worker". Man that's unbelievable how you make these projects alone with so much of precession. Hats off to you bro!
Not even watched the whole video, just gave thumbs up for the freakingly nice looking bed you build, my respect for you!
Nice! Thank you :)
Always good to see a brother using power tools and building things , great job!
Just got done building this and I love it. It is HEAVY...I built it using just one switch with a bus board for all the lights, a little easier wiring.
I also built it without the platform around the frame...much more practical, and I won’t bang my shin on it. Built the frame around the boxes that I had for my temperpedic mattress so didn’t have to mount the plywood to go under the mattress.
Did you buy the plans?
Copey_lad • yep
Temporary bed, I'd buy that bed in a heartbeat
Amen
@@virginialpinon748 His "temporary" bed is what millionaires pay thousands for to be designed. Amazing!
I love it. Amazon has plarmtfirm I'm ordering. Several varieties. Reasonable
Uh uh I
Much obliged to the creator of this plan for sharing such awesome work of yours in an extremely moderate expense [Link Here== *TopFineWoodworking. Com* ]. The nature of the work and the materials far surpasses the cost. This is the best offer as such.?
Dude, it's so cool to see real handcrafting vs a Costco purchase. I love your "old school creativity".
If this is a temporary bed. I can only imagine what your ideal bed would be. Nice work!
Thank you. All I can say is it's going to be different :).
DIY Creators safe to assume you're building it yourself?
very nice!!!!!
lol I'm pretty sure we can assume so.
I somehow consider it to be pretty similar. I mean, LED's, dark wood and electricity: it got all we know from him. Perhaps a concrete footing or something... Oh and a little decorative well. Perhaps an Aquarium at the head too... o.O
Just built this w/ some slight modifications for my Cali king but it was super easy to follow and understand KUDOS to you brother all these other videos an hour long etc etc but you boiled it down to the basics any competent handy person can follow. Jolly good 5 stars!!
This turned out great! Nice work and thanks for sharing! One thing I notice a lottttt of bed frame DIYers doing, though, is using solid slats of wood under the mattress. It's important to allow the mattress to breath. I'd recommend using lots of thin slats going across instead (or anything that has some gaps for the mattress to breath), for anyone viewing this.
Thank you for this I'm in the process of watching videos before I start on my bed ❤️
And is it comfortable to lay on a wooden frame or on wooden straight planks? It has no bouncing in it... hope to hear.
@@user-gc3rv6jw3n Yep! I guess if your mattress is too thin, maybe it wouldn't be as comfortable. But a lot of mattresses have built-in box spring alternatives or whatever.
I built a queen-sized loft bed for my last apartment I lived in for 2 years. I used 2"-3" pieces of wood across the width of my loft bed frame and spaced them out so there was a couple or several inches between each one. My mattress was 10" thick and cost me about $300 on Amazon (Lucid brand). It was very comfortable.
In summary: as long as your mattress doesn't need a box spring, it'll still be comfortable. Putting a mattress on wood slats is no different than putting it on the ground and sleeping on it, or putting it on a solid piece of wood.
Good luck :)
@@legocircus Thanks! So yes it means that a matress on a wooden slat is the same as sleeping on the floor right. So that was why I am hesitant about this method..
I also dont have a matress with springs in it. I prefer foam.. ;)
You're actually inspiring me to open up a custom furniture section in my company.
Wow man! You really do a GREAT job teaching / doing tutorials! That was thorough, fun to watch, and on point! Great channel!
Wow!
That's what I was thinking. Very well edited and he produced a great bed. I just subscribed.
watching your videos make me miss high school wood shop classes a LOT. I sometimes regret not pursuing carpentry.
this man is a legend, icant even fold my sheets and this man literally makes one
Great job putting the video together. Your videography is solid, you cover so many of the important details and explain why and how certain things are done and you include product information. I wish continued success to you.
OMG!!! My dream bed I always wanted and planing to build on my new house in Puerto Rico, once my house is done. LOVE, LOVE this amazingly, beautiful bed made from what I will called a Real Wood Designer in my book the most expertise one!! Yeah!! Love all your original work and piece of Art :)
nice one brother years later this is still helping people sucha great design
I have two observations:
1 - I would have made the bed platform corners round. For me it is an elegant finish. Also just in case, if you trip over it, a square corner is more likely to cause injury.
2 - the floating night stand design didn't made sense to me. The mattress blocks the side it is facing. So, I can't access it if I am laying down. Once I am done using the tablet or laptop I would have to get up to put it away. Not good for lazy asses like me. I would leave the sides open, but I would have made the front piece a door attaching a hinge to the bottom piece.
I wonder how functional it would be, but I would give it a try. Also I would have made them a little bit larger.
Other than that, a beautiful build. Man, you have a gift. :))
Flecha57 I was thinking the same thing about the door hinge, put it on the side so the top can open sideways and since there would be a lamp on top of the floating night stand I would get rid of the lamp and make one built into the wall that can be turned on and off from a switch in the night stand that way you’d have space on top of the night stand with no lamp in the way
@@berny9753 That is a good one. Anyway it is a beautiful bed. I really liked it. Cheers!
Coming from someone who can literally build almost anything....your floating bed build is badass
I couldnt hear your horn from here. Could you toot it any louder?
@@imayhaveadhd There's a difference between being arrogant and being truthful. Let the man toot his horn if he's good at what he does
@Heru Jr. of Kemet 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Heru Jr. of Kemet who hurt you?
Bedass
Your content keeps getting better.
Thanks man.
Dude that bed is for dreaming up more amazing builds for your channel. You Rock
Looks awesome. Only changes I would make is to have the opening on the front of the nightstands so you can reach in while still on the mattress. And the part you painted black, I would have painted it to match the color of the wall so it would give a better illusion of floating.
Just wanted to let you know, I bought the plans for this. I used your idea to make the headboard, but I changed the design quite a bit. I really appreciate your videos, please keep them coming. Looking forward to your bathroom remodel.
Hi,where did you buy this plan? I am also interested in this bed!
Oh my goodness I'm late to this party but this is absolutely incredible. Well done! I've just bought my first cordless Hammer Power drill and I am DIY mad! I have just completed a major transformation of different areas of my home and now looking to style it but I've loved the journey on my own - just awesome! Psyche aka Psyche Thompson UK 🌹
I wanted to add outlets to our floating bedframe while keeping the wiring tidy and out of sight. Thank you for the Ideas and keep up the great work!
Hes doing everything perfectly nice and fit. Ohh his artwork like wow!!
💕 this craftsman creator !
Now that's dedication: He owns a jig saw, but he using a coping saw just to show us it can be done!
i just say one word:
u r an artist !
and who is given you dislike?😡😡😡😡😡
Every time you pick up a piece of wood you amaze me with what you turn it into......
I just found you today, well TH-cam can take credit for recommending you😊 I've watched a few of your videos today, and you have give me the confidence and motivation to get on with some of the projects I would like to do. A bed is definitely one I want to do, no it won't be as big or the exact same design but it will be based on what you have already taught me.
Thank you very much 👍
when you said 2"x8" said boy that is a lot of weight; I really like your idea and I'm going to make one with a few changes but I'm going to use a 1/4" plywood in the back and use 1/2" planks on the front it should make it sturdy enough and will also cut down on the weight by at least 50%, thank you for your idea this is the best one I've seen.
Did you ever make it? How did it come out? Thanks!
I like this idea! How was your headboard?
1/4” seems a little thin might want to go 1/2”
I see why he went with 2x8. Using 1x8 would double the price!
This is my favorite page I’ve recently discovered!
The best part is the LED lights to set the mood and the outlet for your ladies vibrator. Well thought out indeed
What a beautiful bed!! I believe I could build that! Thank you, Glen, for filming the build!!
Love it. Clean, modern looking, and functional. Keep up the good work!
This bed is awesome. I really would like to make one in my future house. Just one think you should to do on the end. When you put plywood on the frame, you should drill a plenty of wholes so the mattress can breathe. You are very talented man and your projects are awesome. Good luck mate
Is it comfortable to lay on a wooden frame though? Hope to hear.
@@user-gc3rv6jw3n are you prefer a plastic or metal one. Because I don't understand???
@@mateuszlis7741 I mean the plywood with the wholes in it. Is it comfortable to sleep on that kind of 'underframe' where the matrass rest on? :)
@@user-gc3rv6jw3nexactly there. The wholes should be maximum 20mm big and you put the mattress on it so can breath, otherwise mattress will get dump. And to be honest there is slight difference between solid plywood and slats. If you have a nice thick mattress you can't really feel the difference:)
@@mateuszlis7741 What is the difference between plywood or slats? :)
Sugar Shane Mosely killing it with these bed frames!
this was beautiful thank you
Thank you, your welcome.
Beautiful work!! Great tutorial. You are a very talented man. If that's your temporary bed I cant wait to see your dream bed!!
Never would’ve guessed generic pine at that scale would’ve turned out so good looking. Nice work man
My son really liked the bed frame layout so we built a scaled down version for a queen. Great video.
This reminds me of something my Dad built back in the 70's very similar. Well except for the Plumb Purple wall paint. :)
Awesome build as always
Thanks man! Happy Easter.
lol this is a "temporary bed" he said and builds it better than most homes XD
How did I only find this channel now? That bed is gorgeous, borderline work of art
u sir, are so talented and creative. just love watching all your diy videos dude. pls keep it coming.
I would love to make my own custom bed... love it!
Elegance on a budget
Then do it.
Very nice

Great video!!! Thorough but easy to follow and excellent craftsmanship. Thank you!!
How is this NOT your dream bed???
Holy cow! I want thissssss
I’m so in love with this channel 😍 very satisfying to watch and at the same time you get ideas/knowledge from it ♥️
I can see myself cracking my sheen on that edge everytime I come back from the bathroom half asleep at 3 am
😆😭😁
It happens a lot! Our bed trim was 2x 8 also; cut them down to 4" and no more bumps in the night :)
Yes! So happy I found your channel! Awesome work!
My favorite part is that you mention, three times, that this is only a temporary bed, all while putting in enough work for anyone else's dream bed. Average just isn't good enough for you, is it? Never change sir, this was a fantastic build to watch and I will be referencing it for my own project.
LIKE THE BED! Who is still here during the Covid-19 plague?
me. i got all these ideas now but it's hard to make these trips to hardware store cause it's getting stricter to go out

I am. I just found him and I love it.
Turning into Marshall law out there shit is nuts .. love the bed I’m a hardwood floor installation and sanding guy so I’m gonna build it but with hardwood on headboard and bullnose around edge and sand stain but yours is beautiful great idea to work off of and do own style
you have such a gift
Thank you.
DIY Creators Great project!
that talent that God gives you yoou should be a happy man living right now i mean happy
Man your projects never disappoint.. The video editing skill is a perk. It's just so amazing to watch your content.
Solid build, solid delivery, solid video! .... Everytime!
This looks amazing!!! I'm going to make something similar when we move into our place.
I could look at your work 24/7...but I gotta sleep...sheesh!
:D thanks man
My man I don't give credit unless credit is due. You bruh have gave me motivation to try some things. Thank you
One of the best looking beds I have ever seen
Great job ,you are a genius ;-)
:) Thank you.
This is an amazing concept. I want to start a small business selling beds, but your method shows me how to line up the supports and frame properly.
Thanks for the thorough instructions. I’m going to look into making one
Thanks!
This is exactly what I have been looking for.... You make this project look SO easy. I guess having all the right tools is key to any project. 👍🏻👍🏻
Hes missing most of the important tools lol. Ex. He's out there with two sanders just because he's missing a planer.
This guy is too damn professional. This is super daunting. I’m only watching being hopeful.
This is hands down one of the best beds I've cam across. Wicked video! All the instructions were clear and great advice for making sure everything comes out nice and square. I'm definitely building one soon? One question...how much was materials in total?
In Canada being a renter that's a lot of money, I think this is a wonderful creation wish I could do this
This guy is the absolute truth!!! Straight to the point and incredibly informative.
Great job!
Thank you.
I enjoy your projects. I like how you keep things simple.

I don't want to know what his ideal bed is. This one is out of the bag.
Looks absolutely fantastic! Great job man. I would love that bed... I wish I had the skills to make something like this on my own. Incredible work man! 👌
As far as I know the slatted frame is necessary for ventilation of the mattress. So when having the bed for a long time, the mattress could attract mold.
This is one the best floating beds have seen around
really nice bed
can you make a big writing desk?
You should make your own business, cause you will definitely make a ton of sales and youtube will help advertise your products and will show the quality of your build
Ian Lesigues como tomar medidas
I would definitely decorate my whole house with his furniture! He could make soo much money and he already has the platform and advertising for it through youtube
He’s making money selling the diagrams for 8$
Love that bed and love your channel..
Very positive blood! Thanks, our family enjoys your videos
I’m so in love with this ideas super cool. I spent my time always on TH-cam getting ideas. I m very happy to find idea like your.
me encanta tu creatividad, constantemente veo tus vídeos aunque no entienda el idioma
Thank you. Wish I knew how to fix this :/
Usted poderia usar los subtitulos automaticos, algunas veces ellos funcionan
Dude, you are freaking amazing
I like that you made sure to inform people of other methods if they aren't DIY savvy.
Bra your room is bigger than my lounge 😂
KMSL HE SAID BRA. 😂😂
Than my nepe*
Bruh, you got a lounge? Ha I bet you got a fancy spancy above ground pool top. Lol
@@layna-heyhey no hablo ingles xd
@@seantolliver6836 Not everyone speaks "American" English!
Love it! So inspired. I thinking of making the headboard higher with built-in lights and maybe led light above the headboard. Wish my husband could do stuff like that.
Personalty I would bullnosed the edges of the bed. Less shin related accidents, especially for accident prone people like myself.
I’m proud of you my brother because of your video I’m going to make my woodworking Bussness thank you brother
Just purchased the plans and can't wait to make this hopefully by the weekend. Do you think 1x8s would be fine on the headboard since the 3/4" plywood is strong or do you feel that the 2x8 is necessary?
Everybody knows (or should know), that the mattress should stick out further than any wood railling. The way those bords are sticking out all around (and underneath) the matress, is a good way to hurt your shinbones. Speaking from experience! Also, not the case here but worth mentioning; all bed footings should be underneath the bed at least 10 inches, not to break your toes into them - speaking from experience as well, ... LOL
I bought excellent handbook from stod doy's plans.
SO perfect
Awesome plans
With lumber prices in 2021, this is a million dollar bed :) And it looks awesome.
