I found that if sink those bed rail brackets 1/32 - 1/16" you get a sturdier fit than if you mount them flush. But man, what a gorgeous design, I prefer the natural over the black but, both a beauties!!

[@mmcc_woodshop6288]

Thanks for your input! This was my first time using the brackets so I was figuring it out as I go. Sinking them in makes sense that it would pull the joint tighter 👍🏻

[@OregonBladez]

@@mmcc_woodshop6288 You're welcome, it is a beautiful bed, much nicer than anything I can build.

Giving the guys at 4 eyes credit for inspiration is a class act!

[@mmcc_woodshop6288]

Thanks Ryan! Gotta give credit where it’s due! 👍🏻

[@webkitswkshop]

Great bed, great project. But I like it better non black…😅

[@mmcc_woodshop6288]

Thanks! I love the natural color of oak as well. I’m always on the fence about deciding colors 😆

[@anthonycollins6353]

Nice job Mark. My girl likes to Harvey all the time. Thanks

[@mmcc_woodshop6288]

Nice! It’s a beautiful design for sure 👍🏻

Hi Matt,
After a year, how do the not glued loose dowel joints behave? Would you make any changes? Thank you!

[@mmcc_woodshop6288]

They’ve worked perfectly. All the panels have contracted/moved very slightly (maybe 1/4”ish), and there are no cracks anywhere within the panels or frame. Everything is still pinned tightly and nothing has come loose 👍🏻

[@beyond8981]

Wonderful work and video - will follow the growth of your channel with extreme interest. I'm curious - how many hours in total did the bed take to make?

[@mmcc_woodshop6288]

Thanks! I didn’t keep track but I would estimate between 20-25ish hrs.

[@michaelheaton478]

Fucking awesome!!! As usual my friend!!!!

[@mmcc_woodshop6288]

Thanks Michael! 👍🏻

[@pdiddy2469]

How tight is the hardware? Do those metal cleats pull the joint tight?

[@mmcc_woodshop6288]

The hardware needs to be as tight as possible when it’s attached. As long as they line up properly it’s incredibly sturdy. Anyway downward pressure/weight will only make the joint more secure 👍🏻

Beautiful ❤❤!!!
