      Not sure about the hammock idea. If you were to tight the bed into the wall framing, that could provide enough stability I think 🤷🏽‍♂️👍🏽

    Bridle joints with a hole through the center which would basically work like a drawbored mortise and tenon joint and also with that you could put a threaded insert in the cross support to connect it all

    • @donnygrahambuilds
      @donnygrahambuilds  Рік тому +1

      You're not wrong. Though, that does introduce an easy way to make an errant cut and have to buy more stock - admittedly, I haven't make many bridle joints. I tend to stick to dados and miters. But a good recommendation all the same, thanks for checking out the video!

    • @austinwhited867
      @austinwhited867 Рік тому

      Definitely can be a little intimidating but with the right jigs it’s not too bad Tamar from 3x3 customs has a good video showing a good jig for angled bridles if you’re ever interested in trying them out

    This looks amazing - how many board feet does this use?

      I can’t recall the exact board feet unfortunately. However, I do have a set of plans using dimensional lumber from the big box stores. Link is in the bio if you wanna check them out 👍🏽

    Hi, what is the angle measure of the top of this beautiful bed, thanks for inspire us!!

    • @donnygrahambuilds
      @donnygrahambuilds  Рік тому +1

      Thanks for checking out the video!
      I believe the angle was 22 degrees.
      But I do have a full set of plans (linked in the video description) that will have all the specific details for you to build your own :)
      Thanks again!

    Why in the video do you have your top canopy pieces going into your posts when in your plans you show them on top of the posts?

      @@donnygrahambuilds Thanks for the response. Didn't mean to call attention to it, bought the plans several weeks ago and following them and the video closely. Building for my daughter's 4th birthday. Very green woodworker but this project has been fun so far. Thanks!

    I’m considering building one of these for my toddler, but with a queen mattress since we already have one. Biggest concern is changing the sheets with the rails on all 4 sides. Have you had any difficulty getting sheets onto the mattress?

    • @donnygrahambuilds
      @donnygrahambuilds  Рік тому +1

      I’d recommend, my daughter went nuts for it and still will periodically thank me when we’re both in her room haha.
      No issues at all changing sheets. Just give yourself a little extra room compared to your queen mattress (I.e. if the mattress is 75”x60”, make your frame space 76”x61”). That’s what I did and no issues changing sheets 👍🏽

      The one I built is for a twin. But I have plans for both a twin and full size over on my Etsy page. Link in the video bio.

      So you’re saying, if you had all the nice tools, you wouldn’t have used any of them for this build just because you’re making a video? Seems pretty ignorant to me. Why make your build more difficult just because your audience doesn’t have the same tools? He explained what you would use in its place if you don’t have the same tools available to you and even refrained from using a $1,200 tool toward the end assuming most of us don’t have that option and showed another attachment example.

    Terrible plans! Multiple wrong measurements and instructions. Also, the most important part is the slats and securing them and he glazes right over them in the video. I followed the instructions on the plans and as soon as my wife laid down on them they broke (140 pounds). Save your money people and buy some plans for a bed that is actually sturdy

    • @donnygrahambuilds
      @donnygrahambuilds  4 місяці тому +2

      Interesting - I’ve spoken with several people who have bought these plans, built this bed, and not had any issues. If your 140 lbs wife laid down and the slats broke, I’m guessing 1 of a few things: you didn’t have enough slats, the slat support wasn’t properly secured, or you used poor quality material. In any event, sorry you had a hard time with the plans. Appreciate the video view 🤙🏽
