Thanks again to SimpliSafe for supporting my channel and sponsoring this video (simplisafe.com/foureyes) Also...if you're interested in watching me come up with and model this piece in (almost) real time - here is a link to that video on my second channel ua-cam.com/video/EC6pPnDwkIs/v-deo.html
How are you joining the three boxes? I am almost done building this but I am wondering what is the best way to join these perhaps make it modular and be able to break apart when moving, but sturdy enough when put together
Hi, the modeling video of this piece is set to private and I cannot view it. I would like to make something remotely similar to this - just two side sets of drawers and no drawers by your feet.
This is awesome! The only thing that I would maybe do different is to put slats in the middle part instead of another platform as mattresses can mold eventually without air circulation
Hi Chris. Nice build. I've made a few similar builds and one advice from me to you, free of changer, would be ventilation holes under the mattress, and plenty of them. Even with a latex core, I've had issues with moisture build up between the warm mattress and the colder plywood. The first layer of glue will stop the plywood from absorbing the moisture.
Hi Chris, great build and just what I have been looking for. I have a Casper mattress and they stress to use slats spaced 4" apart as a mattress frame so that there is air circulation underneath it otherwise you could have mildew problems. I don't know which kind of mattress you have so this isn't feedback on your situation, I'm only thinking of how to adapt your design for my situation. Your content never fails, I love it! Also, those are my fav kicks so far!
This video helped me solve a problem with a completely unrelated project I have in the planning stages. I’m planning a wooden snake cage with front-opening sliding glass doors, and I could not fit the life of me figure out how I was going to get the doors into precut dado tracks without taking part of the frame apart and reassembling it around the glass doors. Your instruction of making the top track deeper just solved this conundrum. Thank you.
You are still by far my favorite maker youtube videos to watch. Combination of good designs, woodworking skills, presentation, and tongue in cheek humor is unchallenged in my eyes. Keep doin yo' thang!
The best DIY bed with drawers I've seen on any channel. I would really like to see some plans to print with measurements so I can make my own. Such a nice build and video. Best of wishes from Puerto Rico.
Chris, another question. Have you considered edge banding the plywood edge? I know that if you paint it, it may be a non issue- but I would probably go with a stain. Also, did you consider any perforation of plywood that is directly under the matress for air flow? I see arguments on both sides. I assume that is why is is popular to use slats instead of solid supports for the mattress.
Hey Joe...i don't like edge banding. Hardwood strips for some projects...but not this one. I was embracing the ply. For paint. I want bright pops if I do it...just on certain portions. Drawer fronts, etc... not the whole thing. Slats are a good idea. I wasn't worried about it though...Might be fun to redesign using slats just as a design challenge though.
Yeah, I was kind of testing them out. I just got that new attachment for the festool, from woodpecker, that makes it act like a huge miter gauge. That thing is a champ when it comes to quickly lining up a 90 degree cut, knowing its perpendicular, without needing to measure. That said, for the track saw systems themselves. Factoring in the price. I actually think the Kreg is as good and it's WAY less expensive.
I love how unobtrusive the sponsor sections are in your vids :) You flow nicely from the project to the sponsor and back again, there's no dramatic or jarring pace change that just throws off the aesthetic of the whole video. I end up just waiting through it instead of skipping. I think you just have that kind of calming and gentle voice that's comfortable to listen to :)
Hey a quick tip when you used the rputer against a wooden strip you want the round part of the base of the router to touch the fence because (at least with my router) that part is perfectly round. And if you use the flat part it will rock around and you wont get a straight cut. With the round part you can move it around and the cut will still be straight btw. Great video as always keep it up 👍👍
This is almost exactly the design I did for our king bed...well, not exactly. But the long side boxes for me were broken in half to make assembly and taking them into the room easier. Ours will be drawers all around and ideally solid Walnut that will have a continuous grain on each face, but not face to face... that'd be one massively long glue up. It will also require floating night stands to get to the drawer under your head and I'm excited to design those...want charging,maybe light, and speakers... we'll see. Great video 👍. Also, I thought for sure you'd go with Blum undermount after building your outfeed /assembly table. I can't go back now that I've used them unless they just can't work in a particular application
At the point that I built this I had never used blum drawer slides. I actually just used them on a project that will come out later this month though. They are kind of hard to wrap my head around still...but they work great. You can definitely see the quality difference :)
@@Foureyes.Furniture yeah that's what I thought too. Trying to get everything square and perfect... seeing the tolerances they put in the catalog...it was overwhelming. Then setting in the drawers for the first time and seeing how much adjustability they have 🤯 it was awesome. Could easily be out of square or have a slightly wavy piece of ply and be fine. Also they can be side or bottom mounted to the box so they work for slide out drawers behind doors too.
Sketchup for the modeling...and the animations using a plugin called "key frame animator" :) - I actually have a link in this video to a second video where it's literally me filming myself coming up with the idea, in slightly edited real time ua-cam.com/video/EC6pPnDwkIs/v-deo.html
Flat bottom bits - boy you got me there 🤣😂🤣 Not sure if I can ever listen to that normally 😂🤣 Awesome work - DEFINETLY will inspire our new bed!! Thanks 😇
So much room for storage. I do hope one of those drawers is for your favorite shoes Also have you ever taken the leap to Fusion 360 to design your furniture? I wanted to use Sketchup but it’s no longer a desktop app and is a web browser app for the free level.
I like how you compared the different types of corner clamps in regards of how much time it took you to complete the task. It's interesting that there wasn't much difference between highest cost to lower cost.
The Smart Doorbell Camera has been around since 1957 and 1967. It was first seen in the Whirlpool Miracle Kitchen and the Monsanto Plastic Home of the Future.
They certainly do make the rocking world go around. I like it as is, without any finish. I know you’d have to seal it with some clear to stop it marking up, but I’ve learned to trust in your design decisions. Nice job. 👍🏻
Chris, I noticed in your sketchup drawing of this platform bed that the top and bottom panels of the big side drawer boxes were *not* rabbited, only the side panels. But in the build you did a stopped rabbit on those top and bottom pieces, so the 1/2 inch back panel was "received" all the way around. What made you change course there? Any reason you wanted the rabbit to go all the way around instead of just being on the two side panels?
This video earned you a subscriber. I've been looking for a good video since I want to build my bed. And while I won't use the same design using the ply wood structurally didn't occur to me. So it will same my money when I start.
At 14:18 19 sec to be precise What is that piece of equipment that you bumped your foot on while pushing the wood at the final stage of cut on the table saw. Looks hazardous.
love your videos! Question - have you ever considered creating a "woodworking vocab roundup" style video? i think it would be great for woodworking newbies to boost our knowledge. especially since your channel and your artform here is so visual itd be great to have a visual glossary so to speak. i ask bc whenever i watch your videos i am confronted with the following: what is the difference between: groove vs. bevel vs. dato vs. domino vs. rabbit vs butterfly vs. etc etc anyhow, keep it up.
In this video you used a circular saw with the kreg guide, the kreg track saw and then a festool track saw. Was this a tool acquisition improvement as the build progressed (if so were the other tools not as accurate?)? or do you actual use all three (if so why a specific tool when?) Sorry for the interview style questioning......
I use all three just because I have them. I just got the woodpecker attachment for the festool...so I've been using it a lot in order to form an opinion. I use the circular saw for a different application (long rips) where the tracksaws would need longer tracks (which I don't have)
Hi Chris, love the video as usual but I wanted to give you some feedback on the videography (if that's even the right word). I've noticed the last few months something kinda changed about the style of the videos - still relaxing, still love the music, and the woodworking - but - there was something about the mix of the soothing sounds, the woodworking, and the old garage, random kid/wife running around and the day getting brighter and then fading into the night that always stylistically went very well together. Not sure how or if that helps, just thought I would point it out a bit if it helps you think.
Yeah. I'm very aware of that. That was one of my fears going into the new space. That the videos wouldn't have the same charm. And I think certain elements are lost in that respect. Ultimately though, I feel like 97% of the feeling was carried over. And the new space is a lot nicer in a lot of other ways. Like not being 110 degrees in the summer for example :)
Peaceful video, even if I only understood about half of it lol. Would there be a way to do this as a beginner? @.@ You voice is pretty soothing and the music is nice. Thanks for such a zen DIY video. While I do enjoy high energy a goodly portion of the time, it's nice to come across a relaxing one occasionally.
Hey ! I believe you should elevate your mattress in order to make some airflow underneath and allow it to breath. When we sleep, we sweat and the mattress get humid, so allowing some space underneath prevent mold for both the wooden bed and the mattress. It can increase comfort as well. Also, why are you using plywood ? I started using it to make some shelves, and I feel that that wood isn't very resistant, get scratches easily and does not look nice. I think pine may to an good alternative, but probably more expensive. Best ! Geoffroy
just listened to the podcast where you were discussing the standard bed comments... so i feel it necessary to remind you that you may bang your shins on the bed! great video as always.
haha...already did, decided to burn the bed and sleep on the floor until I come up with a design that is impossible to bang shins on. No matter how hard I try.
I see that you have been using to different track saws, Festool and Kreg. I understand they main difference between the too as I have researched them both. I am wondering if you prefer one over the other? Does one have a cleaner cut? Let me know!
For me they both make equally clean cuts. Though, I think most of that would come down to the blade you are using. Not talking about on the table for the ACS. so just as a normal track saw. It's honestly about equal for me.
I'm designing a bed that is close to your design. Should I add space between the floor and the drawers to have robot clean under the bed. I have no idea how easy to clean it if I make your way. What do you think?
There are SOOO many of your projects that I want to make but this one shot up to the top of my list. I then realized, i've never sourced Baltic Birch plywood. Holy moly. Now, I live in Temecula so not horribly far away form you. I found 3/4" BB 4x8 sheets for about $110 a sheet. Do you mind sharing where your favorite material sourcing locations is/cost? Awesome videos. If I build this, I promise to become a patreon subscriber.
Hey man. I go to Reel Lumber. I'm closest to the Anaheim yard, but they have some others that may be closer to you. I don't recall the price off the top of my head, but I'm pretty sure it is cheaper than that. If you call they'll give you the price. If you build it...you don't have to become a member. I mean, I'd appreciate it...but I'm happy when people build my stuff no matter what...and if they decide to pledge a couple bucks, that's awesome, but not mandatory :)
We've only had it for a few months, but so far no issues. It doesn't really move a whole lot. We also have one of those memory foam mattresses which probably dampens that.
Awesome video as usual. Towards the end when you made the cable organizers I could not help but think that some T track in the top with sliding cable organizer would be cool. Also, that could lead into additional fixtures such as LED lights or hooks etc all sliding and adjustable.
Hi Chris, long time viewer, first time commenter. I have a question regarding your saw choice for plywood break-down. I understand why you would use a handheld saw versus table saw and vice versa, but what makes you decide to use a track saw or a circular saw with a straight edge? I notice you often times use both for cuts that seemingly could be accomplished by either tool. Thanks in advance!
Hey Nick. Couple of reasons. For my situation, where I'm making videos. Sometimes I'll do things different ways just for variety's sake. Show how you can do the same thing with different tools, etc... But from a non-video POV. Usually when I'm using the circular saw with that Kreg Edge guide attachment I'm ripping length wise (longer than my tracks are) and if I'm cutting a shorter piece I opt for the tracksaw
Curious- watched you other platform bed build (again) and could not help noticing a garage workshop. The latest build is in a larger shop. When did you move and is \this leased space?
@@Foureyes.Furniture Ok. I'm building a similar bed and was wondering if I should add some felt pads or some small plastic feet nails (whatever they're called). But, I also have tiled floor. Thank you!
Wow, this is great. Any way it can be updated for a twin? Maybe take away the sliding doors portion? Just like to know in case id like it build this for my bed.
Honestly...I'd change everything. I think it would get way to high and awkward looking. So If I had to use a box spring I'd start from scratch with the design.
I watched the video and looked at the drawing, but don't see slats or a platform that goes across to full support the bed. How is the weight of the mattress supported in the middle?
Hey Chris how are you? I was checking your website to see if I can purchase the PDF plans and templates for this bed. Couldn't find it. Are you planning to put this project on sale anytime soon? Thank you!!
Hi. It doesn’t currently work exist. It was before we were making plans. I will be doing some DIY stuff this year. So perhaps thus will be one of them.
@@Foureyes.Furniture Hi Chris, thank you for you video, I have watched more than 10 times to figure out each detail, cuz I really want to build one! If you can provide the cut list, that would great! Thank you!
03:40 - Just a small quibble: _never_ write on a piece of wood to label it, with a pen of any kind! A soft pencil is good, and better still is a strip of painter's tape (you can write on _that_ with a Sharpie). I speak from experience when I say that there are few things more frustrating than getting near the end of a project and going to paint, stain or otherwise finish it, only to find that the pen marks keep showing through, no matter how many coats you lay down. Edit: from later shots, it looks like Chris _might_ be using a mechanical pencil rather than a pen, but it's hard to tell. Either way, it's likely to give some the impression that it *is* a pen, and they could follow suit.
A few reasons. Yeah, the hardware would be insanely expensive...but the actual impossible factor to overcome (in my room at least...and probably most peoples) is that you wouldn't be able to pull the drawers all the way out because the walls and/or other items would be in the way.
@@Foureyes.Furniture tbh it's better to have some less accessible storage than none at all. One could just shift things around or push rarely used things to the deep end.
I really miss these chill, serene music'd, more subtly humorous vids. I feel like since Shaun joined up with ya, you've seemed more...snippy? Brash? Impatient? I don't know. I just miss vids from this era and out of your garage; it's what got me hooked. I DON'T LIKE CHANGE, CHRIS!! :P
I'm not sure. I get it at Reel Lumber which is my local yard. Somebody said that if it's 4x8 it may be just "birch" and not "baltic birch" looks exactly the same to me.
Overall, I really like this cool and modern platform bed. The details of explaining the process of making this bed, to me, still somewhat confusing. I didn't have a clear picture in my mind of how you put all of pieces together. It would be helpful if you could shoot more details explaining how everything is put together.
The base part underneath? It literally just sits on top of it. You could screw it down if you wanted...but there really isn't any need. It's not going anywhere :-)
I made a twin mattress platform bed for my son. I didn’t put a frame but I put a couple yoga Matt’s between the two, and that was sticky enough to keep mine in place. You’ll just have to test.
Hello Cris! I see you from Mexico, excellent your videos and very good work, my home is very small and this idea would be excellent to save space, there is somewhere to get the measurements to be able to replicate your excellent work.
Hi I am currently learning more about woodworking and I would love to know what software you use to make this designs, or if you know about anything better let me know

Yeah, they were all pretty darn close to the same. Not sure if any particular model got them the most square. I was happy with all though.
I guess if you wanted to make sure you could send the bed frame to my house and I'll check all the angles for you to be sure they're square.

What size mattress is this frame made to fit? Is it a king bedframe?
I see that you have been using to different track saws, Festool and Kreg. I understand they main difference between the too as I have researched them both. I am wondering if you prefer one over the other? Does one have a cleaner cut? Let me know!
For me they both make equally clean cuts. Though, I think most of that would come down to the blade you are using. Not talking about on the table for the ACS. so just as a normal track saw. It's honestly about equal for me.
I'm designing a bed that is close to your design. Should I add space between the floor and the drawers to have robot clean under the bed. I have no idea how easy to clean it if I make your way. What do you think?
Your equipments. 🥰🥰🥰 bdw Im 28f and liking this things is taboo in our community.
There are SOOO many of your projects that I want to make but this one shot up to the top of my list. I then realized, i've never sourced Baltic Birch plywood. Holy moly. Now, I live in Temecula so not horribly far away form you. I found 3/4" BB 4x8 sheets for about $110 a sheet. Do you mind sharing where your favorite material sourcing locations is/cost? Awesome videos. If I build this, I promise to become a patreon subscriber.
Hey man. I go to Reel Lumber. I'm closest to the Anaheim yard, but they have some others that may be closer to you. I don't recall the price off the top of my head, but I'm pretty sure it is cheaper than that. If you call they'll give you the price. If you build it...you don't have to become a member. I mean, I'd appreciate it...but I'm happy when people build my stuff no matter what...and if they decide to pledge a couple bucks, that's awesome, but not mandatory :)
Love your sense of humor and your design skills
How is the bed holding up? I'm looking and building something similar and am curious about the durability under movement.
We've only had it for a few months, but so far no issues. It doesn't really move a whole lot. We also have one of those memory foam mattresses which probably dampens that.
Your space is so cleaned
Flawless victory thankyou man love your work from philippines 🤩🤩🤩
Awesome video as usual. Towards the end when you made the cable organizers I could not help but think that some T track in the top with sliding cable organizer would be cool. Also, that could lead into additional fixtures such as LED lights or hooks etc all sliding and adjustable.
Workbench / headboard. 😊
Hi Chris, long time viewer, first time commenter.
I have a question regarding your saw choice for plywood break-down. I understand why you would use a handheld saw versus table saw and vice versa, but what makes you decide to use a track saw or a circular saw with a straight edge? I notice you often times use both for cuts that seemingly could be accomplished by either tool.
Thanks in advance!
Hey Nick. Couple of reasons. For my situation, where I'm making videos. Sometimes I'll do things different ways just for variety's sake. Show how you can do the same thing with different tools, etc...
But from a non-video POV. Usually when I'm using the circular saw with that Kreg Edge guide attachment I'm ripping length wise (longer than my tracks are) and if I'm cutting a shorter piece I opt for the tracksaw
Thanks Chris! I appreciate the info!!
Curious- watched you other platform bed build (again) and could not help noticing a garage workshop. The latest build is in a larger shop. When did you move and is \this leased space?
Yup yup. I moved back in October. Right when I went full-time as well. I'm just in a small portion of the shop. It's a friends warehouse space.
Did you put something at the bottom of the bed so it doesn’t scratch the floor, like felt pads or something?
I didn't...but that's not a bad idea. Honestly though...it won't slide. It's super heavy. The plywood is also softer than the Oak floor
@@Foureyes.Furniture Ok. I'm building a similar bed and was wondering if I should add some felt pads or some small plastic feet nails (whatever they're called). But, I also have tiled floor. Thank you!
Personally, I love the unfinished look. It's light and neutral and keeps the room uncluttered visually.
Wow, this is great. Any way it can be updated for a twin? Maybe take away the sliding doors portion? Just like to know in case id like it build this for my bed.
Here is one I built for our son a few years back with a twin mattress. It's fairly similar - ua-cam.com/video/qpJvPsYLNcU/v-deo.html
Would anything change in the design if you went with box spring?
Honestly...I'd change everything. I think it would get way to high and awkward looking. So If I had to use a box spring I'd start from scratch with the design.
Ughhhhh just the start looks daunting 🙀🙀
Air Salomone! What talent
I watched the video and looked at the drawing, but don't see slats or a platform that goes across to full support the bed. How is the weight of the mattress supported in the middle?
Hey Chris how are you? I was checking your website to see if I can purchase the PDF plans and templates for this bed. Couldn't find it. Are you planning to put this project on sale anytime soon? Thank you!!
Hi. It doesn’t currently work exist. It was before we were making plans. I will be doing some DIY stuff this year. So perhaps thus will be one of them.
Hey Chris, i was wondering if you offer the cut list for your projects. I just bout a house and i would love to build this bed before i move in.
I don't currently have anything like that available, but I am working on plans at the moment. will be quite sometime before I'd get to this though.
@@Foureyes.Furniture Hi Chris, thank you for you video, I have watched more than 10 times to figure out each detail, cuz I really want to build one! If you can provide the cut list, that would great! Thank you!
I need this bed! this bed is absolutely amazing, Awesome job!
03:40 - Just a small quibble: _never_ write on a piece of wood to label it, with a pen of any kind! A soft pencil is good, and better still is a strip of painter's tape (you can write on _that_ with a Sharpie). I speak from experience when I say that there are few things more frustrating than getting near the end of a project and going to paint, stain or otherwise finish it, only to find that the pen marks keep showing through, no matter how many coats you lay down.
Edit: from later shots, it looks like Chris _might_ be using a mechanical pencil rather than a pen, but it's hard to tell. Either way, it's likely to give some the impression that it *is* a pen, and they could follow suit.
Hi can you please tell me what is the software you used to plan out this project with?
the 3d software thanks great video by the way
Perfect usage of “comprise.” Congrats!
YES!!!!
Nice build as always! Aren't you afraid from having humidity in the mattress without any bedspring? Keep up the good work, cheers from Belgium
Might not be a bad idea. Personally...I'm not too worried about it though
Love your work! Please make plans or a cut list available.
Where do you source your Baltic birch? I live in OC. Just curious about comparing prices.
Reel Lumber in Anaheim
I hereby do solemnly swear to attempt to make this bed while wearing my FourEyes T and a pair of Oreo 4s. Thank Chris 😉
hahah nice. Just keep the sawdust out of the shoes :)
How did it go lol
Why the hole in the center? As opposed to extending drawers to use all that space?
Is it a matter of not having sliders long enough?
A few reasons. Yeah, the hardware would be insanely expensive...but the actual impossible factor to overcome (in my room at least...and probably most peoples) is that you wouldn't be able to pull the drawers all the way out because the walls and/or other items would be in the way.
@@Foureyes.Furniture tbh it's better to have some less accessible storage than none at all. One could just shift things around or push rarely used things to the deep end.
To each their own. In my room it wouldn’t be hard to get to. It would be IMPOSSIBLE to get to.
Can't justify buying one myself, but those Woodpecker squares are going right to the top of my birthday wish list. Nice, clean build--well done.
What did you use for the support in the middle?
2x4s and plywood :)
Best way to start my morning!
...by thinking about Bed :P
Chris Salomone about how much I would want a bed like this!
My I ask what is the app that you use for the designing
I really miss these chill, serene music'd, more subtly humorous vids. I feel like since Shaun joined up with ya, you've seemed more...snippy? Brash? Impatient? I don't know. I just miss vids from this era and out of your garage; it's what got me hooked. I DON'T LIKE CHANGE, CHRIS!! :P
what software did you use for design?
Typically from what I've read and found, Baltic birch is 5' x 5'. What is the brand/source for your larger sheets of Baltic birch?
I'm not sure. I get it at Reel Lumber which is my local yard. Somebody said that if it's 4x8 it may be just "birch" and not "baltic birch" looks exactly the same to me.
@@Foureyes.Furniture Thanks. It looks great regardless!
My shop sells both 5x5 and 4x8 sheets. I'm told the larger 4x8 sheets use an exterior wood glue. To me, the plys on the 4x8 sheets looks darker.
I was just thinking in make a platform bed with storage, and this is just what the doctor ordered.
perfect timing :)
Overall, I really like this cool and modern platform bed. The details of explaining the process of making this bed, to me, still somewhat confusing. I didn't have a clear picture in my mind of how you put all of pieces together. It would be helpful if you could shoot more details explaining how everything is put together.
Looking good. I wish you have shown more of the "kicker" part, and how it was attached to the rest of the build.
The base part underneath? It literally just sits on top of it. You could screw it down if you wanted...but there really isn't any need. It's not going anywhere :-)
@@Foureyes.Furniture sweet! Thanks! How tall is it?
Chris I see you using two track saws. Which one would you recommend?
Honestly...they are both very good. Bang for the buck. The Kreg. It seems as good to me and it's quite a bit less expensive.
I would like to have those woodpecker tools. Especially the long t-square ruler.
"linens....and things" I, too, would've had to add "and things". ;) I chuckled.
Hello, I'll make one "single" bed, and im wondering, do i need tô put a frame around the mattress to lock him in place?
I made a twin mattress platform bed for my son. I didn’t put a frame but I put a couple yoga Matt’s between the two, and that was sticky enough to keep mine in place. You’ll just have to test.
@@Foureyes.Furniture Ok, thank you, by the way your channel is aweosome, i learn a lot from you.
Hu Chris
How are you?
Your projects are amazing, beautiful as always.
Congratulations for you and your channel. Allan from Brazil
Thanks Allan...really appreciate it :)
Hello Cris! I see you from Mexico, excellent your videos and very good work, my home is very small and this idea would be excellent to save space, there is somewhere to get the measurements to be able to replicate your excellent work.
Hi I am currently learning more about woodworking and I would love to know what software you use to make this designs, or if you know about anything better let me know
He uses Sketchup. There's a free version on www.sketchup.com/
Thanks man :)
hi do u sell the design plans for this platform bed ?? i realy want to build on like this
Lol dude your humor kills me. Thanks for doing what you do man! Always entertaining.
Appreciate it man :)
How many disc saw you have?
#1 dude.
:)
