    Bro great work. But simple not at all.... 98% of the people to watch this will say I cant do this. But to people who can wood work... thank you for the tips. And keep up the great work!!!!! And not wasting our time with word by word on how you did it.

    To all the ppl saying "not simple"
    Understand the dimensions you need, e.g. mattress lenght/width & measure the person sleeping there when sitting.
    That'll give you the minimum distance to the ceiling so they won't bump their head when sitting on mattress.
    Next, try to build something small so you understand the importance of cutting same length & learn stability.
    Then make sure you pre-drill, very important or you'll possibly split wood.
    You'll run into mistakes, who doesn't, don't rush it & have fun with it.
    If you're not sure, you can always add extra bracing like the triangle supports for shelves on the corners.

      Usually home depot has a 70% off on bad wood, build small scale mock up bed for cat just to try it.
      2ft long 2ft tall 1ft wide, put something heavy on it & see where it fails.
      Have confidence, you can do it.

      How is it not DIY? It's a simple design with no advanced joinery. It's all cheap construction lumber. The only required tools are a drill, circular saw, sander, and a router. The router could even be skipped. It's not a quick build, but simple doesn't mean fast.

    • @BitsandWood
      @BitsandWood  6 років тому

      Yes. I'm a rather plump individual myself and it supported me without any issue. I think I weighed about 290 lbs when I built this. 2x6 construction lumber is quite strong. I would probably try to add a second ladder on the other side if possible though, just to make it easier for both people to get up and down easily.

    • @BitsandWood
      @BitsandWood  4 роки тому

      You could probably make a platform for the existing bed with four posts joined by cross members along the top and bottom, but leaving one side open for access. I guess that would be somewhat similar to what I did here, but without the ladder and with the rails and stiles around the top. Could be a fun project.

    • @unoefxz
      @unoefxz 7 років тому

      assembly seemed simple, the construction was not unless comparing it to pouring a foundation. I could frame the room it went in and finish the drywall before you finished this project. lol. not starting any crap, I am about to embark on a build as well real soon for my youngest... how many hours start to finish? and what was the price tag?

    • @BitsandWood
      @BitsandWood  7 років тому +1

      +unoefxz That’s why I said different scales. For me the construction of this was very simple. Screws, dowels, and bolts. No fancy joinery. For someone else maybe it isn’t simple.
      think it was about $230 not including the paint. Build time was around 8 hours. There was more time waiting for paint and glue to dry.

      dont get me wrong, I have a full wood shop and am going to build one for my daughter, but it will be simple and use MDF. Instead of doweled together railings, it will have a panel. No doubt your work is impeccable, but the average joe could not pull this off let alone identify a fostner bit. Not knocking it at all except for the title. I loathe dry time!!! especially for paint as i can't get anything else done in my small shop.

Do you thing I would be able to get a flat top on the desk? Will I need to buy a power tool? I'm sure this is a silly question, please bear with me.

It doesn't require any special tools or techniques. It doesn't get much more simple than that.

      Yes. Two of them at each corner. At each corner, I trimmed one of the 2x6s by 1-1/2" so that both sides are the same distance from the corner edge. Probably not necessary, but I wanted them the same on both sides.

      Of course. There'd be no joy in the process if I didn't enjoy the videos. It isn't about watching myself, but more about seeing the project be built. If people like them or find them useful, that's great; but I make projects that I enjoy and make the videos of those projects that I enjoy. Otherwise there would be no fulfillment in the process. Obviously not everyone is going to like them, but that's okay. There are lots of other people making videos of things they make out there that those people might enjoy.
