@@JohnBuildsIt right... I mean it is great finish without specialised painting room. I love it man. Begging you for a detailed video on it if you don’t mind :)
Finally! Found a bed frame that my wife likes, more than anything she has seen in a store. Thank you so much! Nice set of plans and good video so I'll be able to get started on this shortly.
I actually bought stuff I saw in his videos. Different brands to accommodate my budget and sized differently cause my workshop is 50m2. Just started like 3 weeks ago, just doing what he does here :)
@@JohnBuildsIt I agree...The shop where I work is the GF retailer for the area. We’ve had several discussions about the difficulty of working with this product.
Great build! Very approachable and i loved the forethought of the grooves. Before I saw it come together I could have sworn it was actually tongue and groove boards.
Very nice build. I think this has given me all the ideas I need for a slightly smaller than queen sized bed. Thank you. Also, many thanks for using bed rail clamps instead of pocket screwing everything 😂
Looks great, nice and clean. Love the cove and taper, gonna have to keep that in mind for future projects. I think it would work well for a dresser or bench too if the legs are long enough. Well done!
I'm just discovering your channel and your videos are awesome. I'm going to try this build with a twin size while adding drawers on the sides for my daughter.
Looks great! The taper with the cover is a very nice. Also, the Mirka gold sandpaper is the best I’ve used. Once I found that sample pack on Amazon, I was sold.
I might have to build one of these! The wife and I have broken the last 3 beds we have owned. This one looks a bit tougher! It might be able to withstand some movement.
Love the project. Also, love the saw. I bought one last fall and I love it. A little update for your cross pieces, to make it easier to slide this bed, is to add a piece on your crossmembers. This would reinforce them and remove the legs.
I'm seeing an upscale cottage vibe--versatile design--that I prefer. You've inspired a plan for a pair of square planter boxes in this style (maybe, a bit under the height of your footboard). Recent garden preps got me behind on my vids views 😕.
I just found your channel and love your bedroom set. I showed to my wife and she loved it as well. The only thing we are trying to decide is if we are going to stick with the grey or go with black walnut tops. Great work!!!
thanks this is an awesome video, I am making a canopy bed with a carved lion head. i fleshed it out in 3D first and how the pieces will fit together.. still lots of work to be done.. also i want to put LED lighting... :) man it's exciting! 😍
@@JohnBuildsIt no problem. My 2 daughters rooms is exactly what I'm trying to do. I need twin beds when our basment gets finished here in a month or so.
Where can I get the pull out work bench you have. I really need that for my shop. Btw I purchased your night stand plans a few months. Nightstands and now complete and I absolutely love it. I’m working on the bed frame now. Thanks man. Your awesome
What a really nice piece of furniture. Nice simple design with a classic look. I'm going to give it a try. One thing, how long in total time did it take from start to finish? And approx how much did it cost you?
That looks really great, John! I'm beginning to really like the look of contrasting solid wood / white finishes. I built a free-standing kitchen cabinet a few years ago with a similar look - finished with a white base, solid Walnut top and black hardware and it came out awesome. It'd be great to build everything out of beautiful solid wood but it's just cost prohibitive for many people. Can't wait to see the rest of the pieces in the series! Did you do anything to finish off the bottom of the headboard like edge banding or just paint over the exposed sandwich of plywood and MDF? Certainly not necessary for the footboard since it's so low but depending on mattress height, I could see how the bottom of the HB could be exposed while lying in bed.
I can guarantee all watching that this bed is better finished than any shop bought!
That’s how I got the sale! Haha everything they looked at in stores wasn’t up to their standards
@@JohnBuildsIt right... I mean it is great finish without specialised painting room. I love it man. Begging you for a detailed video on it if you don’t mind :)
I loved this. Building a bed right now but usung a different design. I probably will buy this plan.
Best bed build on UA-cam.
Brilliant well done.
Thank you!!
Just now finishing my bed frame from your plans, wife loves it! Now on to the chest of drawers and nightstands. Thanks John great work!
Awesome!!
How much does it cost all together to build?
Dis paint.... man make a dedicated video on how to paint like a pro... really needs it :)
Wow! Beautiful! I will definitely build this in King size. Love the taper!
Usually not a fan of white furniture, but wow you made that thing look good. That grey stain really sets it off
Top job and a great tip for painting using the two screws to allow the boards to be painted all over without any marks.
Always helpful to save a lot of waiting time!
Finally! Found a bed frame that my wife likes, more than anything she has seen in a store. Thank you so much! Nice set of plans and good video so I'll be able to get started on this shortly.
Awesome, enjoy the build!
Thanks for building this bed for us John! Not only is it gorgeous, it is very solid and very well built! Great job as usual! I absolutely love it! 🥰
Covetable. Especially your skill. I have not found a calm craftsman like you in Johannesburg.
Thanks for watching!!
I wish you would do beginner classes and teach all about setting up a workshop and what tools to purchase.

You are a true craftsman...nice job John!
Thank you!
Looks gorgeous. Love the tapered legs as well.

Good price on it too! Now I just need one of their sanders haha
Excellent work as usual, can’t wait for the rest of the suite!
Thanks man!

That's beautiful! I'm going to change it up just a little, but I'll build my next bed much like this one. Thanks!
phenomenal....I love this!
Thank you!
Been watching your builds since the flags…you’ve come a long way in a short period of time. Great designs, and great content. Keep ‘em coming!!
Thanks!!
I might have to build one of these! The wife and I have broken the last 3 beds we have owned. This one looks a bit tougher! It might be able to withstand some movement.
Well, I watched this video, three times then bought the plans. Brilliant!
Working in inches made my brain hurt a little as I’m in the UK 😂
Haha sorry about that! I need to make metric versions too, but then it’d be my head that is hurting😂
@@JohnBuildsIt actually, because my eyes ain’t what they used to be, I found working in 1/8ths and 16ths easier to read on the tape measure 😁
Love the project. Also, love the saw. I bought one last fall and I love it. A little update for your cross pieces, to make it easier to slide this bed, is to add a piece on your crossmembers. This would reinforce them and remove the legs.
The best👏👍

Any chance for twin and full plans
Maybe in a couple years when my daughter needs one haha sorry!
@@JohnBuildsIt no problem. My 2 daughters rooms is exactly what I'm trying to do. I need twin beds when our basment gets finished here in a month or so.
That is really nice! Is this a build for new guy?

The bora centipedes? There’s an Amazon link in the video description 👍🏽
What a really nice piece of furniture. Nice simple design with a classic look. I'm going to give it a try.

I really don’t remember at this point, sorry!!

Certainly not necessary for the footboard since it's so low but depending on mattress height, I could see how the bottom of the HB could be exposed while lying in bed.
No I didn’t do anything to cover it. With the box spring, the mattress comes a few inches up on the panel so it can’t be seen 👍🏽 thanks for watching!
what was size of the post after the taper when finished?
Bed looks great!! Just got the plans. Why did you chose to use plywood and mdf for the head and foot boards instead of just mdf?
Just more rigid in my opinion. Could definitely go all mdf though 👍🏽
I'm building this.
🙌🏼🙌🏼
It's not the style of beds we have here in Germany, but I like it.
Great project and build! One question: what did you do with the bottom of the headboard, the raw plywood edge with the mdf? Left it as-is and painted?
Bondo and paint
Do you have a set of plans for a full size
I'm going to buy your plans and build two of them for my kids. I think I can modify your plans for a twin size
Nice! I was thinking the same thing for my daughter when it’s time
Hi, awesome work, but what kind of wood use for this project ?
There’s poplar, ash, mdf, plywood, pine trim.
@@JohnBuildsIt Thanks ! i purchased your queen bed and night stand plans but i dont understand anything at all imperial system lmao
