My daughter and I built this bed together and she loves it. We made hers from Nova Scotia maple and finished it with Osmo. We modified a few details (we used bed hardware from Lee Valley) and even added a lot of shadow lines inspired by your other videos. Thanks for the plans!!
I can not WAIT to watch more of your videos! You make it look so easy BUT what I like the MOST is that I’m not nodding off while watching because your light hearted and funny! Your truly talented and your sense of humor is a breath of fresh air for sure! If I had the tools I would build furniture every DAY!! It’s a passion I’ve never been able to really establish in my life but have always admired those who can because of their creativity! Super excited to see what else you have on your channel!! Subscribed and already addicted!
I did something similar for my eldest boy recently. I used 4x4 posts and scaffold boards (approx 9x1.5 inches) with the head and footboards mortice & tennoned together directly (I will unashamedly steal the panel idea next time) and used cranked hook & strap gate hinges to attach the side rails as he wanted a chunky industrial look. I hear you on the sanding though, scaffold boards are as rough as a badgers arse when they arrive and took a lot of sanding to get them smooth. The resulting bed was finished with a coat of sanding sealer and Osmo oil polyx hardwax Dark Oak
Man, close call...wife almost caught me watching this video. I would be working on a bed this weekend if she did. Awesome job not only with the bed but humor as well 👍.
Thank You Thank You Thank You!!!!!! Making a bed from a pair of reclaimed 6 panel doors and wasn’t sure how to attach the side rails. Problem solved! Nice work on this build. 👍🏻
I like how you kept one of face boards natural instead of planing. I see a lot of videos where they plane both sides. I think it defeats the purpose of the reclaimed wood . Got a new subscriber . Keep it up brother good work. Thanks for sharing.
I just finished my version of this bed. Ours is a king size made with western red cedar. All my lumber was rough cut so I milled every piece. I used 6x6 post that were milled down to 4 1/8”x4 1/8”. I used everyone of my floor tools on this one. So glad to have a nice jointer! Plans do not match the bed in the video or, for that matter, my version either 😅! Keep ‘em Coming Mr Bourbon Moth! Now for some bourbon on ice 😋
Very nice, did something like this for a neighbor right around when the pandemic started. But I did it almost all with 2X4 studs and the rails were 2X8's. Made a spacer for the slats which were vertical on the headboard and footboard and also use 2X4's for the mattress support slats so there was no need for a center rail. The only hardware other than some screws were 8 carriage bolts where the 1/2 lap joints on each leg supported the rail and all that was needed was the bolts to hold the rails and the headboard and footboard together. IMHO the 1/2 lap joint is TONS stronger than using the hardware and if you are using 4X4's it's super easy to do. The new bedframe was also a ton better than the steel one she originally had where a few of the wheels were broke off and she ended up with storage under the bed.
Good job! I like the presentation. I just built a queen size bed frame for my son. I used the same concept in this video except that I do not have all the specialized tools, so mine has a neat, smooth, rustic look. Not a very professional job but a good one. Thank you very much for the inspiration. Ha! I even danced at the completion of my DIY!
I built a bed about the sane size as this. But I sure wish I would have watched your video first! Now I know for the next beds I make. Awesome content and great craftsmanship brother
Yeeeee!!! It’s Back!!! I mean, the “SMMS” Man I’ve missed it big time!!! This is what I love, would working doesn’t/shouldn’t be boring and overly serious. I’m glad we get to have this again. Thank you! And now: “let’s dance” ha ha ha (SMMS = Sarcastic Monotone Monologue Satire)
This video as usual is great. My 50 year old bed just died. It seems that if you want a quality bed you must do it yourself. Thanks for the plans I'm going to modify just a bit. God Bless!
One thought about when you glue up the three pieces of the panels, just put the fourth one in place without glue. Then clamp the fourth one with the other pieces to help with alignment. You can measure the diagonals to check for square. Once the glue is dry lift off the top rail and proceed.
I always find it so fun when you get to the sanding part. I know you hate it, but for some reason, it always makes me think of the scene from the movie "The Boondock Saints." when Willem Dafoe is at the crime scene, and yells while twirling, "And there was a firefight!" I think of the same thing when you sand, but you saying, "And there was sanding!" If you haven't watched those movies before, you seriously should!
Damn man, just came across your channel, searching for vids on making a bed frame for when I get my new bed.... I really like this bed frame. And your commentary is pretty funny. I will be buying these plans probably next week when I get paid, so I can get my frame done hopefully when my bed gets delivered.
small suggestion might be when gluing the 3 outer bits together is to slide one slat into the top (not glued) to act as a squaring/glue clamping assistant.
Instead of the spacers for the mattress lath, use a couple of lengths of twine and staple them to each end, using one spacer. Put a dowel at each end to stretch the twine and hold the lath in place. When it is time to move, you can just pull up the lath and roll it up in an easy bundle. Monkeying with those spacers is a pain in the tuchus.
If you have a taper and you’re trying to remove it with a thickness planer, put the fat side in first so that it removes the material from the fat side before the thin side.

I am not professional woodworker and just newly found one. I am so thankful for your videos. They inspire me. Thank you for your awesome work.

You find sanding boring - I find it relaxing
😂

Your channel is a breath of fresh air. Thanks for all the content. Much love from Cali
Not only are you a talented wood worker. You have a good sense of humor!
Aww thanks

The wife absolutely loves the reclaimed wood. Good job!!!

Very cool, your approach for this project made viewing this video very lighthearted and fun.

Love your narration style. Best I have seen for ages. Cannot wait to watch your next video!

love the tone, it cracks me up.. good skills by the way

NO POCKET HOLES!!! Great build. The joinery on the head board was first class.
Awesome. I love to listen to your side comments.
You crack me up man. More dancing interludes please. ‘And DANCE!’
I built a bed about the sane size as this. But I sure wish I would have watched your video first! Now I know for the next beds I make. Awesome content and great craftsmanship brother
Great video. Short and sweet, but with enough detail to utilize it in combo with the plans.
Dance.
Your videos have been on play on my headphones as I tread through my work night! Love the humor in them!
Nice design and presentation, beautiful finished aesthetic. Now I must check your other content.
I’m really enjoying your videos. The bed is fantastic!
Love it! You make it look so simple. I hope when I make it, it is as simple as you make it look. I know it won't be but a fellow can always hope!
Great build. some helpful ideas and a great tongue in cheek delivery. more please
Absolutely beautiful!
Yeeeee!!! It’s Back!!! I mean, the “SMMS” Man I’ve missed it big time!!! This is what I love, would working doesn’t/shouldn’t be boring and overly serious.
I’m glad we get to have this again. Thank you!

First time on one of your videos. Sick build, great video. Love the personality that comes through...makes watching WAY more enjoyable. Keep it up.
You are freaking hysterical and I adore you! I don’t have a lot of the tools needed to make this bed, but the video was completely entertaining!
Wow! Looks amazing! Great work! I’m inspired.
😍GORGEOUS! could watch that all day.
Very nice love your style👍 . Keep up the good work .I made a queen size bed a month ago out of New Zealand native recycled timbers and pallet wood .
This video as usual is great. My 50 year old bed just died. It seems that if you want a quality bed you must do it yourself. Thanks for the plans I'm going to modify just a bit. God Bless!
Please keep making videos loving them👍
That rail hardware is so much better than the other stuff I’ve seen.
Que hermosísimo.
Dios les bendiga siempre.
Saludos desde Venezuela
Beautiful job my favorite style

Funny how this was put up a few days before Valentine's Day. Good one man!
Awesome work and information! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Beautiful piece of land,
- VERY good job. Thanx 4 sharing.
That Looks Like Fun!
Just came across your channel,after watching this video I subbed. I'm a marble craftsman but a beginner at woodworking great job.
Nice ..and pretty bed..
That's a dope looking bed.
In the world of pocket holes this was really refreshing build
No kiddin! I love pocket holes as much as the next guy but sometimes it's ridiculous lol
Now that is one cool bedframe. What it needs though is a couple of chain links in the headboard and maybe stocks on the opposite side ;)
Beautiful!!
AWESOME bed build!!!
Legend, amazing video!
totally dig the bed design, subscribed
As dry as a good Wiltshire cider, you sir are entertainment as well as education.
Nice build. Laughed the whole way through because of the tone of voice over. Awesome job man.
Simpson Strong-tie joist hangers work for slat holders too.
very nice work
Hey!!!!! Finishing is the best part :)
Nice work i like rustic nice use of reclamed wood.
Great to see a nice build after the ‘comedy series’! Really enjoy the furniture design and video format.
Great build.

THIS IS AWESOME
Nice build glad I found this channel
I love the voice over! Great video

Awesome video bro!! This definitely helped, because I need to make one!!!
Enjoyed the video.

Another great one boss
Fantastic. Watching from Ontario Canada and couldn’t have found a better woodworker to learn from. Merry Christmas!
I second this comment based on location as well as opinion. Cheers
Ontario has many carpenters and woodworkers. I also happen to be one as well. Great fun Chanel!

Killed it man

great videos man very informative
Great video. Great project
Nice shop
I’ve seen a ton of woodworking channels, but your commentary is fking gold man. Subbed and liked, can’t wait for more

Your house must be amazing!
If you have a taper and you’re trying to remove it with a thickness planer, put the fat side in first so that it removes the material from the fat side before the thin side.
Nice vid man
Thank u for reminding me i had a burrito!!! Real MVP
Thanks nice bed, and those tools everyone have them at home
Enjoyed the videos. Have you ever done any videos on just making simple picture frames and adding glass?
Just some basics for us beginners
This dude is awesome! It is refreshing knowing that there is another person with as much energy as I have... 😂 Woohoo love it. !!
