CityBilly, Excellent bed build. Im definitely inspired to go finish building my bed. I didn't notice how you connected the side rails to the headboard? Love the bed!
That was amazing video , great family fun and I love the build . I’m going to watch the video again to snap a pic of your plans . Good luck with the rest of your Reno sir
Thanks! Floating nightstands are on the list, but we've got some other stuff that's higher priority still. Part of the problem is Mrs CityBilly and I both have full-time jobs, and we usually have multiple projects going at once. Now that summer is over, the yard won't take up a bunch of our time so we can buckle down on projects a little more. Working on her monster walk-in closet and my workshop currently. I imagine I'll sneak the nightstands in there somewhere too. If you have Instagram, I post more regular updates on there as far as what we're working on. Thanks for watching!
Very entertaining! Good info on the build, as well. I’ll be building my own bed frame soon and will be using much of what I learned. Quick question: do you think I can make a strong enough bed using 1x boards, to lose some weight? Promise no WWE. **True novice carpenter here**
Thanks for watching! If I had to build this bed over again, I'd use 1x boards for the headboard and footboard. I used the milled down 2x6s just because I had them laying around. I'd just lay the 1x's side by side, and then glue & brad nail the horizontal pieces to each vertical piece to attach them all together. The pocket screws weren't totally necessary - I just got the Kreg Foreman and was anxious to use it! I would still use 2x boards for the tops of the headboard/footboard to give it some dimension, but 1x would be fine too. You could always add some small trim around the 1x tops for dimension too, and save on weight. I'd still use 2x for the siderails for strength, but it can be smaller than a 2x12 if you want. It should still be strong enough for WWE 😜 Good luck on your project!
My very rough design is at 2:56 in the video. I don't have anything fancier than that but it should give you a good start. If I did the project over again I would probably skip the pocket holes and just lay the vertical boards side by side, then pin nail the horizontal board to each vertical one to hold them all together. That's way easier. I'd also use 1x6s instead of 2x6s. I used 2x6s because I had them already and wanted to use them up.
Footboard 2x6s are 16" long and headboard are 35.5". There's a lot of wiggle room in these numbers if your you want your mattress to sit higher/lower or how thick the mattress/boxspring are.
I'm definitely going to make this bed. My son wanted to wrestle like yall did in the video my one from Amazon is broke🤣
@@joshuawilson1184 it's much more sturdy than anything on Amazon!

CityBilly, Excellent bed build. Im definitely inspired to go finish building my bed. I didn't notice how you connected the side rails to the headboard? Love the bed!
Thanks! I connected the siderails with pocket screws and metal brackets at 11:52 in the video. Thanks for watching! 🤙

It looks great best thing you could do is actually post a list of the dimensions and maybe a plan
Question, is your bed a cali king seeing that you cut the side rails at 84”?
No just a regular king. We added a little wiggle room to tuck the comforter and so my pillow can fall behind the bedframe haha
And result is pretty nice however there are about 200 excess screws in this build 😮
Do you have material and build plan or cut list so we can build to if we would like ?
My very rough design is at 2:56 in the video. I don't have anything fancier than that but it should give you a good start.

I'd also use 1x6s instead of 2x6s. I used 2x6s because I had them already and wanted to use them up.
Trying to figure out what you cut the 2x6’s or in my instance 1x6’s at on the head board and foot board everything else I have accounted for lol😊
Footboard 2x6s are 16" long and headboard are 35.5". There's a lot of wiggle room in these numbers if your you want your mattress to sit higher/lower or how thick the mattress/boxspring are.
You had me until you had to show that clip using Gods name in vain. Unnecessary to the video man.
I agree
Get a life 😂😂😂
I agree totally, can you edit it out?
Bro get over it, y’all make me laugh posting “Unnecessary” comments like that😂
It's part of the WWE sounds you can use without copyright infringement... plus it's a skit, you're here for the how to not the skit. Best wishes.
