Platform Bed Complete Build

There are lots of ways to make a platform bed but I prefer to have it without LED lights or sharp corners that protrude outwards in the dark of night, waiting to make your shins bleed. This design is flush to the mattress and low to the ground and with a full toe kick all the way around because its just better for your body parts. The platform comes apart in two halves for easy moving and has ventilation holes that are concealed with the toe kick. I used cheap spruce lumber and one sheet of poplar plywood. The spruce is not the best quality and if you use this material you will need double the amount to account for waste factor, but still is cheaper than #2 pine. We got a Dreamcloud mattress and are very happy with it and the functionality of the platform design. The ventilation is important to allow moisture build up in the foam to dissipate. The construction method for this project was very clamp intensive but there are no exposed nails or fasteners on the outside. If this bed were paint grade, then the framing could be stapled instead of clamped. I found a new use for silicone bumpers as alignment pegs for the wood slats. also very helpful in the finishing process as all sides of the slat could be finished at once. I will have this design posted on my site for download momentarily.

I don't know why you don't have 3 million followers, you're great

A master class of technique.

Sweet. Love the cutting board feet idea.

[@RandomDoive]

Thanks! Love your work. Something to aspire to.

Cool design and sturdy job, at least it seems to be sturdy enough for sleep and fun. However, to increase the fun-factor I'd installed a ring of dimmable multicolor LEDs, maybe even motion-sensitives ...

[@hffcom]

thats funny you mention LEDs. now YT recommends I watch bed DIY vids with LEDs. really makes that thumbnail pop out.

6 months without a video. Getting worried!

[@timguffey7907]

looks like somebody got new forstner bits!

Always enjoy watching your builds, thank you for sharing. I’m saving up for a jointer and I have been looking at Grizzly, how are they in terms of setting up, as in setting up the in feed table , squaring up the fence? I’ve never had a jointer so I’m very much a beginner

[@hffcom]

I bought several grizzly machines. generally its not much different than more expensive brands. sometimes identical, just cheaper paint job. the idexed carbide cutter head is worth it if you can afford it.

Isn't that tablesaw missing the riving knife?

[@TonyT-lo2sz]

Been 6 months sense your last video. Are you not making them anymore. Sur hope not

[@RedBottomHippie]

Hello, do you by chance sell your products or can one be purchased?! Id like to have this bed slightly higher from
Ground for more floating effect and ability to add led lights. can u tell me if you can build this? And cost plz?

[@hffcom]

Yes I can build one customized for you but we would have to find a practical shipping solution

[@mmk421]

What was the estimated cost of material?

[@hffcom]

around $150. for the spruce wood I buy 2x the amount needed as a lot of it ends up being junk. I'll have to make some end tables to use the waste

[@CheaddakerT.Snodgrass]

Wait, you make stuff with wood?

[@hffcom]

new microscope is here

[@CheaddakerT.Snodgrass]

@@hffcom A wooden microscope. I gotta see this.
