    This was such a great tutorial. You’ve got 197k views, and roughly 30k of them were me going back to reference how you did it again and again as I built mine into my closet. I just finished, and it turned out great, thanks to your expert camera work and explanations.

    Probably one of your best edits I think. You did a great job on this...and this type of build is not easy to shoot and put together. The baffle behind the cutout handles is a great idea! This looks fantastic, Michael!

    • @MichaelAlm
      @MichaelAlm  5 років тому +1

      Thanks Bruce!!! It was a challenge shooting in there for sure. Tried some new things with the edit, so I’m glad to hear it’s working 😁

    Looks awesome. The box behind the handle hole is one of my favorite details.

    Great build! That dark blue paint color for the room, though...reminds me of old-time "Air Force blue"--this was used on building interiors and on vehicles.

    Love the fact that you use your S123 for what it was built: transporting things. Nice looking bed!

    Sweet! I've changed a bedroom into a library, it has two closets and eventually one of them will have to have a bed like this. Glad you did it first. My room is a similar color, I think it was Valspar Classic Teal.

    • @MichaelAlm

  • @dooovde

    Looks really good. Definitely inspired me to do something similar. I can’t help feeling tho that the 10 inches of space behind the bed could have been better utilised tho. Maybe as a place to store a duvet.

    Thanks for this video. Love the color scheme of plywood and that deep blue walls. Also, your friend have got cool looking flooring! Never saw this before.

    • @MichaelAlm
      @MichaelAlm  5 років тому +2

      Thank you! Yeah, the building is from the 60's and it has some cool touches. The oak floor technique is called parquet, which has fallen out of style, but it does look good in that space. The cool thing is the building manager has a bunch of extra tiles, so they are able to swap ones out if the ever get damaged.

    • @NukeJlb
      @NukeJlb 5 років тому +1

      ​@@MichaelAlm Wow! Thanks for reply! Actually, here in Russia parquet flooring is pretty much only kind of real wood flooring you can get. It was allways quite popular and even in small and cheap appartment you can stamble upon nice herringbone pattern parquet. About 15-20 years ago rich russian folks were paying incredible amounts of money for crazy looking custom floors. But now this trend is dying and there is only couple of parquet shops left in my town. But those square once in the video looks so cool and idea to keep spare tiles deserves apritiation.

    Also I'm a low voltage electrician, and that closet is an example of what "FREE" installs look like.
    You did awesome job with the space you had to work with, two videos in a row!

    I like the use of foam insulation on your saw bench. It may be more expensive than plywood, but appears much easier to move and replace. And easier on your blades I would think.

    I am going to try to build one, thanks to your help. In the written description, it states it is for a twin bed, but in the intro you say a full (double). Could you clarify? Also, do you remember the width of that particular closet? Thanks for the inspiring video. Beautiful work! Very inspiring.

    I bought this exact kit six months ago and haven't gotten around to building it yet, I will be using an entire wall with bookshelves/kids desks on either side. Do you have any suggestions as far as tricky spots with the hardware, any issues you ran into that would help me? As I explore UA-cam channels I see a lot of people using Baltic Birch, I haven't bought any yet and just started looking for Hardwood dealers in San Diego that supply it, I have found 5x5 sheets, which is a bit weird. Anyways, I'm just rambling at this point, thanks for the video build, and the walnut end table video that led me to your Murphy bed build.
