Yeah I’m late
What was the cost of all the cabinets and wood?
Follow the info link in description.
You should link the updated (freestanding...) video here.
Your daughter is so Lucky.
Even your picture looks jealous XD
Adam K 😂😂😂
Am I the only one that wants to make this solely because underneath the bed is like an awesome fort?
+RubyOpheliaQuinn no
+RubyOpheliaQuinn yes
+RubyOpheliaQuinn i just want it to hotbox and still not stink up my room ;D
+ImRefraction you're pretty cool
Jaden Wilson thanks :)
This is some good dad stuff right here. Shoutout to all the dope dads who build stuff for their kids.
im an uncle, and i cant build stuff. but I do cook nutritious meals for the kids, and I babysit. Can the uncles get a shoutout?
@@FloorManiac Indeed good job there!
I wish i had a dad to hlep me do this my dad went to the Grocery store to get me a bag of crisps and never came back😭
@@robbyz512 must be an black american thing. most of the black people i know living in the uk have both parents present. we have been spared from the promiscuity, careless and irresponsible culture you guys have cultivated for yourselves leading to the abandonment of fathers. you cant idolise crime and gangster lifestyle and worship whoreness then expect to be there for kids
@@FloorManiac no
You could probably have a full time job just installing these beds in people's homes.
Debbie's Dilemmas honestly lol
I myself was even thinking of contacting him for this 😂
Prior to seeing this comment was going to comment, "You, sir for hire!!!" 👍 😆😂😂😂
Im guessing he does this to get paid..
In San Francisco for sure. I'm in a studio and I'm like: MAKE THIS FOR ME
LITERALLY!! I want to do this so bad but I know that I would never get it finished
You know sir..........YOUR THE BEST. This bed is awesome!10000x
You're*
xZombie Slayerx Oh sorry...haha I'm wrong shit
10 000?!? It should be 100 000 000 !!!!! Just sayin lol
Jordan Nochief hahha ok then, 100 000 000x AWESOME
+girl pango lol
Aww the doggie is like: "Thank you for my new bed, I love it!"
Woof
woof woof
BORK BORK
Thanks for showing this without being extremely annoying like some other DIY guys out there. So pleasant to watch. Such great tips. You're a legend!
That cute little doggy says "it's my new bed"😀
Do you get the dog with it lol
Ikr
You should keep a white wood panel inside of the crawl space so in case there is an intruder, you can hide in there and if they look inside the cabinet you can put the panel against the hole so it would look like an empty cabnet
its call a gun with bullets for intruders...🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫
XD
Danj126 I was thinking the exact same thing.
Learn to shoot and get a gun. U should never have to think about hiding in your own house.
thehutch357 what if you are a kid and home alone
i built this bed about three years ago and it’s great! still sturdy, the storage is great and it looks good! everyone who comes over loves it :) thanks!
Great to hear! Thanks for the comment!
I’m planning on doing this myself... 13 y/o, did some research and this will cost $661+ and my parents aren’t willing to pay for any of it... check back in about 7 years to see the progress
❤️
All the best!
Ima do that too it’s so saddddddd aaaaaa
Oof
How’s it going?
I would totally PAY someone to build this set-up for me!
Roger Or you could do it yourself. You know DIY
All I could think was that the crawl space would be a good place for a murderer to hide in your house 😫😫
Monique Bowen better for playing hide and seek if you have kids :)
Monique Bowen That's funny cause I inly thought about how well you could hide from a murderer in your house in there...
or a place u and a murderer can put a dead body
or you could hide your boyfriend😏😂
murderers be murdering, not hiding.
Good job on the bed! And I especially like the occupant of the bed at the end! He (she) seemed very happy with the bed as the tail was really wagging! lol!
IT LOOKS SO EASY! I AM PLANNING ON DOING THIS TOO! ALL I NEED NOW IS MONEY HAHAHA
First step: you need a dad who can do this
😂😂😂😂
And who can be bothered doing it
Hahaha ^O^
Sucks when your dad lives a couple 100,000 miles away...
Taylor Byrd Sorry to hear that.. ):
WOW that is my dream bed! Your daughter is lucky! nice work
Me too
EXACTLY !
That’s one cool Dad...handy, practical and recognizes a girl’s need for plenty of space for ALL her shoes! :)
Storage...bruh I would hide there xD
Panic room.
jim crow ominous
Perfect hotbox
Put a TV stand and TV, a mini fridge, and some blankets and its a great little cinema room
Imma convince my mom to let me build this bed
I'm so envious of anyone who has carpentry skills.
My last name has some
+Isabel Carpenter I envy you.
+titania GIGANTE There are no carpentry skills required for building this bed.
+soppoi123 It require competency with hardware tools though.
+titania GIGANTE You can't handle a tape measure and an electric drill? Learn it in 5 minutes from anyone!
I want a dad like this
I had the same thought!
I have a dad like this. He has amazing such skills when it comes to cabinetry. It is as great as you think it is, but some builds take a lot of time too, especially since he's a perfectionist.
Lucky :D
You mean you want a dad that does all the work for you?
I already has a dad who builds everything. Same as me
I'm no carpenter and do not pretend I want this bed, but it has been fascinating to watch your work. Thank you.
That space beneath could prove to be a cool safety feature. especially if has a hidden space.
dad of the year
I'd put a couple of blankets and fairy lights under the bed just so I can sit under there and watch shows and movies not for storage
+Melissa Jade thats all well and good until a spider crawls past and you have to get out quick and hit your head all over the place, or maybe that would just be me
+lily no problems here. I like spiders. they eat the nasty mosquitos and other critters. if you don't bother them, they won't bother you. though really, it's a STORAGE AREA, so if you do get bit, you had no business turning it into a playhouse anyway! Centipedes are also good.
+lily omg this comment killed me
*****
I like totallu it sounds cool
*****
Mistakes are there to teach u how to correct said mistakes.
Awesome hack. 👍😎👍 The dog wagging its tail at the end made me smile. 🤗
Adorable puppy....he got the reward of your hard work...
The crawl space? A cheap panic-room! :D
lol
no, a way to hide when i don't feel like talking to anyone
Andrea Parducci That crawl space would drive me crazy. I would check it everything I came home from work and before I go to bed at night. Cool idea for a less paranoid person.
No! It's a place to hide and eat
kokolatte825 I'm so relieved I'm not the only paranoid person. I always check my shower and even my backseat 😂 I've seen too many scary movies
Collage dorm bed goals 😍
College*
+Penguin omg I love you
That's actually perfect for a studio apartment. Or a 1 bedroom apartment. Plus you can minimize the furniture and other clutter in your house.
I'm watching this on Father's Day!! Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful dads out there! You do so much for us that we don't appreciate enough. Thanks for always being there even when we might not give you enough credit for the things you do. And thanks for always being there to support us through thick and thin!
Shoutout to all Fathers!!!!!
Thanks so much! 😊
My fav part of this vid was seeing the dog on the bed
if only it was a cat...
+Silas Kuemmerle same.😹😹
Same
I need this in my life omg
Same
+Viktoria Karafa I totally understod that
+Viktoria Karafa ugye?? 😜
You're amazing!! This is brilliant work man! And I love how it's not too complicated to listen to. Great job!
This is beautiful! I love the space you can go under it.
Hahahahaha the dog was glad to be FIRST on that bed ! beautiful job by the way, well done sir
If I get that bed I would totally put blankets and stuff under the bed and just chill there so No one can talk to me :) #introvert
Lol same
same😂
Me too. Especially when hiding from my mother. 😂
But I've got this tiny fear of tiny spaces. 😢
I wish I could but I'm claustrophobic
Yeah put a mini fridge under there too
I love this dog sitting in the bed
That is every child's dream bed. Sooo much room for playing. Knowing me, under the bed would have been the Batcave for all my Batman toys.
It will make the crawling space even lower, but I would make the matress slightly sink between the cabinets. It would look prettier IMO, more like a whole. +it would prevent the matress from sliding a bit away from the wall, wich would annoy me big time :P.
+Fenke B I think sunk beds do look kind of cool but they pose 3 problems. My parents had a water bed those mattresses are usually sunk. Putting sheets on was a nightmare. Also, the comforter never sits nicely. Lastly, I remember my parents ALWAYS having a bruise or 2 on their shins and randomly hearing "ow!" as they crawled out of bed. It is so easy to hit yourself on the corners next to your mattress because the mattress sinks but the hard wood doesn't.
That's another practical perspective that should be considerd.. Didn't think about the possibility of bruising against the edge :P
+Fenke B you wouldn't have to completely sink the mattress to stop it from moving. You could slightly drop it so that the mattress has a frame around it, and it shouldn't be too hard to make the bed as you can still access the corners and sides, just gives it the support to stop it moving around.
+Reeni how do u make ur bed than
Jasmine Mounsey you just tuck the sheets in........ if its only like 1inch then it doesn't make it difficult.....
I'm not the only one who would get comfy in the crawlspace instead of the bed, am I?
Noope...lol
I would live in that crawl space!
if my friend would have this i would crawl in there but a box that i can control and a camera in the corner of the room then play some creepy sounds or crawl under there myself and creep out at night and scare them
In a perfect world where spiders didn't exist to inhabit places like that? Yes, that would be my clubhouse. #ruiningdreams
Hahahahahha....no, you are not :-))
If you’re building for your daughter, best dad award goes to u! 😂 Great job at the bed! Looks amazing. My dads gonna do this himself for me! SO EXCITEDDDD
Brilliantly explained and a genius idea!
You sir have to be the best dad in the world to have the time and patience to make this
That would be awesome for a child. A little cave under the bed :D
Hugtober
That would be horrible knowing you could really fit a monster under their bed 😫
Yaniiroo I think children are only scared of monsters underneath their beds, because they don't exactly know what is under them. If it's their cave, no monsters are invited :D
Hugtober this logic is everything lol
Well not just for children. there are also teens. if you know what i mean. it would be good for too.
SawManga hiding secret girl/boyfriends xD
I love the idea for a loft or attic. And I bet some kids would totally love it! I know I would have when I was younger! Thanks for sharing. Very cool!
Wow!!! I love men that know how to DO (smart, cool, USEFUL) stuff!! 👏🏽👏🏽
I love women who appreciate that handy beats handsome.
I would NEVER leave my bed 😩 the ultimate "Netflix and chill" spot 😂 excellent job !
Gotta make this, and then trick out the underbed space as a Narnia-like clubhouse.
+thepeacefish Same thing I thought. Even though if you have small kids they'll find their own imaginative ways to play under there even if it was filled with crates of christmas decorations.
Gosh I wished I had this kind of talent to build something like this for my daughter. Awesome job!
This man has the greatest voice for reading childrens books.. really gifted !
Wow thanks 😊
my dream bed
***** lolllllllllllllll
MsQueenofallqueens1 Same!!!!
MsQueenofallqueens1 n
oh the hours id spend in that "storage" space
Morrissey ikr
We Are Number One But Baggy Trousers By Madness
You will probably suffocate in there.
i doubt that its air tight....
We Are Number One But Baggy Trousers By Madness that storage place i would made it 2nd bed for fun 😂😂
We Are Number One But Baggy Trousers By Madness same
Really nice!! I made this bed for my daughter, thanks to your really good instructions!
Great planning and design idea. This will be a great bed living in small apartments with ample storage space (i.e., NYC, SF, etc.)
Awesome job!! Your wife/daughter/family hit the skills jackpot with you!!!
please give him the best dad award
please be my dad
+Madeline Grace Ok!
could you do some no power tool projects
Vaggelis Kokonesis ooo
Madeline Grace
This video just saved my bedroom problems. As a template. To start solving my bedroom issues. Thank you. 😊
Which are better: problems or issues?
This is so cool ❤ I've been wanting to DIY my own bed and this is my favorite so far 😁
That crawl space looks great for hiding. Be it for earthquake or intruders. great ideas.
+Alberto Figueroa i would give it some cover useable from inside of crawl space, then it would be ultimate hiding place :D
max Forsey yeah, a bit of shelter. You could even have provisions/emergency kit down there. the design and mattress may offer protection when things fall down, or parts of the ceiling.
An earthquake!? You can't hide from an earthquake
Can you also hide from a tornado
max Forsey sure, but tornados are better at playing hide 'n seek.
Im doing this for my daughter. She will love it
u need to read one comment above yours
I love your puppy
This is sooooo cool. My dad did stuff like this for me. He was one wonderful dad. Like you are... Thanks for the memory and for sharing your skills, talent and innovation!
Thanks. You made my day. 🥰
man if you had just put ads on this video.....
Thomas Kwon I didn't have any ads =0^0=
Nick Stygles People like your prevent the growth of others
Thomas Kwon 20k
Thomas Kwon or at least get sponsored by IKEA
right? he deserves ad money or sponsorship 😣 this man is great
the only thing i could think was "put a removable back in the access cupboard and the crawlspace would be the perfect hiding spot in case of home invasion" i watch too many sci fi and horror movies
I totally thougt the same xD
+Lili D OMG thanks for the idea
But on the backless part I would put another door so if they opened the door they would think it's a normal cupboard ;)
+Louise Alexander LOL that's perfect! You're a genius :D lmao I'd do that because itz cool af
+vivixlife Ikr :')
Thank you, such nice, slow, and clear directions!
Thanks so much 😊
The underneath of the bed would make such a cool fort!!! You could climb in through the cabinets with no back like narnia, and it would be it’s own little room!
My bedroom is VERY small so I don't know if it's a good idea for me... But it's truely the bed of my dreams!!! Anyway my parents will never agree with buy an other bed (actually buy kitchen cabinets XD)
And... Sorry for my english I'm french, peace! ;)
+neru chan Your English is very good. Just two mistakes. (My parents will never agree TO buy ANOTHER bed. peace. ;)
Thanks ;)
+neru chan At least you try, ask to an american or a british guy to speak freanch or spanish or portuguese....
Same. If I made this I would hardly have any space to walk around
+Bonnie Groom but then the thing is you dont need much walking space after. You have storage, a bed and probs have a wardrobe already in your room, you dont really need much other than that
I would put a second matress underneath for guests
ha ha same they don't sleep on the sofa, they go under the bead😁😁
Won't it be hot under there?
+Jack Eggen are you a boy?
+Somaliya Morrow well look at my face and have a wild guess
+MySweetieCupcakes Keep the cabinet door open, lol. You can put a small fan under there, too.
You nicely built ur way into my recommendations 5 years later
Amazing! I will try to build this for my teenage daughter when we move! I love it!
Ok MY TURN! Can you come build this at my house? 😅😂
I'm not sure why I watch these videos, I'm never actually going to make this :'(
My life
+Girl Wise WAKE ME UP INSIDE can't wake up WAKE ME UP INSIDE sAvE mE!!!!!
+Kiwifruit9 what?
Girl Wise the memes are not strong enough with you so I can't tell u what it means
Ikr
I found this bed a couple years ago, and I still intend to make it when I move to a better place for it. I am so excited for this diy project.
It's a fun project for sure.
The dog was the first one who sat on bed, and he was very happy 🤣🤣🤣
Great work dad👍👍
Thanks
crawl space to hide your boyfriend lol
Lisette Reeves exactly what I was thinking lol
that requires actually having a boyfriend... already doesn't sound like something i'm capable of
or corpses
i'm going to pretend that i am competent enough to do this
Genius!!! I'm always watching this on repeat
I really need one of those. It looks amazing.
best dad ever
This is ultimate cool dad stuff right here
Good word, buddy. You're very creative. Keep it like that.
Wish I had men like him in my family when I was a kid. I would know how to do so many things. Great idea and the finished product is perfect for a young one. That crawl space is a good idea too!!
Thanks 😊
Oh my god, I threw away garbage 10 cabinets boxes, five months before and now I will cry.
oh no :0
+NinjaNarutoJapan and my GF wonders why I don't like throwing good stuff away XD
+sinephase GF always do. Except me, it`s my BF who likes throwing things away! :D
best dad award goes to u sir!
The man is fearless. Hands so close to the saw and no gloves. Wooooow
One great dad! Lucky family.
IKEA should send you a check for your masterpiece and advertising :D
You have 17,498,770 views at this moment. More than IKEA had for any of it's products since the birth of company. That should say something to them :D
LOVED this video when I first saw it last year. It was perfect timing because I was moving from one place with 2 tiny bedrooms to 1 normal sized bedroom. With the tiny bedrooms, I had turned one into a closet and was loosing my closet moving into a bigger bedroom. I modified your plan to use custom cabinets to raise them to 40" and extended out 18" verses 15" (to fit a standard hanger). Each of the cupboard became a half closet! Thank you so much for sharing your idea!!
Bless you for showing every step of the process, HandyDad.
Thanks 😊
that's tight. Go Dads and step dads of the world.
My dad built me a attic room when we finally were able to afford to buy a small fixer upper house. I was a lil obsessed with Hey Arnold room :)
LOVe you Dad
Love you too ❤️
ugh I wish my husband was a handyman like this.
no one says you can't become a handyman!
DaLaMc1 I wss thinking that, but then I realized if I was that interested then I'd probably do it myself.
DaLaMc1 you can always pay for a handyman,not that that would be better
your man can be one anything you want him to.. if he is willing. support and encourage him 😉
Chris Heider - I agree Growing together... and learning some new skills along the way... on BOTH sides.
omgaad i want this and its oke sad my parents but i live in the netherlands and i dont know inches
+Chris Heider thanx
+Tanya De Jongh nederland yeahhh
Pak een liniaal van school. En meestal staat daar inches op. T is zo'n 3cm ofz
+Tanya De Jongh I'm american and I live overseas. I just downloaded a handy app to help me convert everything into metric for myself. It's also pretty easy to Google it. Cheers.
+Jolijn Lammerink haha
this is amazing ! you've done a brilliant job
That bed looks so freaking awesome!!
this is a really great video - thorough explanation, well thought design with the materials used, and really cute dog at the end :~) I hope the bed is still going strong
+Chris Heider make a similar style dog bed? That might be cool
+Chris Heider you could move his dog bowls to a possible doggy door under neath the bed or something.
Honestly though, I love this idea and was wanting to adapt it somehow to add a dog bed. With me and my husband, dog and a couple cats, I would like more room. I try to kick the dog out and she cries all night long and I feel so bad!
Thanks for this video and excellent instructions! Great job👌
This is awesome, but isn't the hidden power strip a fire hazard?
If you don't get a cheap one it should be fine
Q only if you pee the bed.. 😂
No.
I love how 99 percent of people have not built this but it’s just entertaining
Genius. I was looking for something similar for my van
