Best video ever on this bed I went though a few videos before finding I made my daughter bed but myself in a matter of hours she loves it, I added a light and curtains to mine it’s amazing
Thanks for watching, Relly! I'd just do them at 45 degrees, then you only have to modify the length of the gable boards to make up for the added width. I'm working on some plans to post online, I'll try to get some made for twin mattress dimensions too.
I'm really sorry it took me so long to reply, this comment got stuck in YT's filter. I cut everything to be 45 deg angles so that the peak angle between the two boards is 90 degrees. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching, Art! The length and width will be pretty easy, just make those members the size of the mattress. I'd have to recalculate the angle of the gable ends, based on the width.
Hi dennis,im a bit of a novice with woodwork just learning and building my tools as i go but i just wanted to say thank you for this video and plans ive just built this bed for my daughter with a few changes to suit but excellent project to make really appreciate youre time for making this video its was very infomative aswell which helps massively p.s the threaded inserts are brilliant 😃 thanks again Chris (UK )
Thank you so much for watching, Chris! I'm glad this helped and I agree.....those threaded inserts are great. I've used them for a couple of projects and have become a fan. Thanks again, I hope your daughter enjoys your work. My grandson loves his bed.
Dennis Coffey thanks for the reply,yeah i done a dry fit the other dsy to make sure everything went together properly and pleased to say it did😂 she was climbing around it shouting house daddy house 😂 is there anyway i could send you a pic of when its finished? If not thats fine once again thanks for the video and i will take a look at your other videos see if i can build anything else 😃
Oh man, I 'd love to see pics of it! You can send them to me at dwcoffey3@bellsouth.net. I'm glad your daughter is so excited about it. My grandson is still so happy with his and he's had it for nearly a year. He now climbs up on the beams like monkey bars. haha. Thanks for the great feedback and I look forward to seeing your work!
Thanks for watching, Maria! I used 2" coarse pocket hole screws for assembling the ends and knock down screws to attached all the beams between the ends. I have included links for all the supplies and tools in the video description. Thanks!
Oh, yea I think shipping costs would be prohibitive. I'm in Georgia. I'm sorry, I'd love to build one for you. Check online, I've seen some pretty nice ones that aren't terribly expensive to ship.
Thank you Sarah! I appreciate you watching! I bought 8pcs 2x4x8ft boards. I basically started cutting my longest pieces first, then cut the longest possible out of the drops, etc until I had all my pieces. Seems like I had very little waste when done. Thanks!!
Hi. Thank you. I was asked to build one but I have to go a little wider. So my outside dimension is 36” on gable ends. How do I figure out my gable end (rafters) measurements, using 2x3s, 45 degrees at one end?? Thank you!!
Thanks for watching! If you're 45 degrees at one end, take your 36", divide by 2 (because you have 2 rafters) = 18 inches. Multiply by 1.414, that equals 25-1/2". That is centerline to outside, so you have to account for your material width, etc, but that should help you lay it out.
Hi Chiquita, thank you for watching! I'm not set up yet for selling but I am working on it. I've got my website kinda built and published, but don't have any inventory or method to sell yet. I hope to have it all situated soon....I'll shoot you a note when I get it all working and can get a bed built. I plan to offer toddler size and twin size in this pattern, with an few options on finish.
@@dwcoffey no problem, anytime ! Thanks , for responding. I would love to purchase a crib bed from you . Just let me know when you have your site ready I’ll be ready to buy .
So hold up. The 44’s were cut at a 35 degree? What’s the actual length and angle cut? I’m just trying to make my son a bed. I don’t care to be guessing but you do just kinda throw the first half of the vid together without providing much info. The video description just says mitered.
No problem at all. I really should have included a drawing in the video, it would have been more helpful. This bed has held up through 2 grandkids so far, and has been moved 3 or 4 times. I kept the angles at 90 and 45 just to keep things simple. Please let me know if I can provide any other dimensions, etc. I'll be glad to. Thank you for watching!
This is the best diy video of anything I have ever watched on youtube. Even sped up, I got everything. All of it! Thank you. 🙏
Fantastic! Thank you so much for watching!

That's fantastic! I'm sure she loves it and the lights and curtains are a great added touch! Thanks for watching.

Great video. I built this bed for my daughter. Thanks for the step by step instructions
Thanks for watching, Jose! My grandson loves his, I'm sure your daughter loves what you've built for her too!
I really love your super professional approach to building stuff. Learnt a lot here! Thanks!
Thank you so much, Jakub!
Brilliant design and so well explained! I'll be making this for my grandaughter in the next few weeks, can't wait to get started. Thanks.
Thank you so much for watching, Ranbir! My grandson loves his, I'm sure your grandaughter will too! Let me know how it turns out!
Hey Dennis! Thanks for the video! Do you know the angle of the gable ends if I did this for a twin mattress?
Thanks for watching, Relly! I'd just do them at 45 degrees, then you only have to modify the length of the gable boards to make up for the added width. I'm working on some plans to post online, I'll try to get some made for twin mattress dimensions too.
What angle is the 2×4 cut on the uprights?
I'm really sorry it took me so long to reply, this comment got stuck in YT's filter. I cut everything to be 45 deg angles so that the peak angle between the two boards is 90 degrees. Thanks for watching!
Great Video! How would you go about building one of these for a twin size mattress?
Thanks for watching, Art! The length and width will be pretty easy, just make those members the size of the mattress. I'd have to recalculate the angle of the gable ends, based on the width.

Wow that's so awesome
Thanks for watching, Kenneth!
do you need special screws for top of bed?
Thanks for watching, Maria! I used 2" coarse pocket hole screws for assembling the ends and knock down screws to attached all the beams between the ends. I have included links for all the supplies and tools in the video description. Thanks!
My 1 year old son needs a toddler bed also I wish you could make us one for him
Thanks for watching, Paula! Roughly where are you located? I build furniture for people also.
@@dwcoffey hi I am located In Pueblo colorado
Oh, yea I think shipping costs would be prohibitive. I'm in Georgia. I'm sorry, I'd love to build one for you. Check online, I've seen some pretty nice ones that aren't terribly expensive to ship.
Hello dennis great job!!! I'm building one for my daughter, is the angle cuts for gable 45degrees? Thank you!!!
Thanks for watching, Jesse! Yes, those are 45 degree cuts. Let me know how it turns out!
Hello! Do you remember the number of boards you bought? Example how many 2×4s? Thanks! This is amazing.
Thank you Sarah! I appreciate you watching! I bought 8pcs 2x4x8ft boards. I basically started cutting my longest pieces first, then cut the longest possible out of the drops, etc until I had all my pieces. Seems like I had very little waste when done. Thanks!!
How much did they cost you for the supplies?
Thanks for watching, Marie! At the time I built it, about $150

Emphasis on the "i set my bit to 7/8ths" part cause if you don't you end up with fire wood.
3 pieces of fire wood to be exact
LOL! True story. They say woodworking is half knowing what you're doing and half figuring out how to fix your mistakes. 😂
