Hello from the uk, just watched your vlogs and really enjoyed them. I’ve subscribed and am looking forward to seeing what you make next. Thanks for sharing 👍
The cost varies a lot depending on the wood species you buy and the bed size. A solid, quality hardwood bed frame you can find running upwards of $1200-2,000+ depending on size. The wood we bought was just under $800 for this King bed frame.
The front legs and the back legs are slightly different, but all of the footage in this video was of us actually making the bed. If we had come up with a different way to make them, we would have shown it because we try to show everything 😅
Thanks so much! Yes, I think the design plays nice in both dark and light colors. Definitely might need to test out a lighter finish here in the future 😍
Routers are just about my favorite tool. So versatile. They can do so much. I have a fix based router in a Kreg table. I also have a plunge router and a trim router. Actually… two plunge routers. My first tool purchase was a used miter saw and sander. My second purchase was a router. With my limited tools I learned a lot about what you can do with a router. I love the way this bed frame looks. I love the legs the most. Great build.
That's awesome to hear! Like we mentioned, we had a router for years as a tool handed down from a grandparent, but never really used until recently. Now that we've started to use it, we love it! Thanks for the kind words, too ❤️ we really love how the build turned out!
Hals Wood Shop. new subscriber. routers...check out the new Hercules at Harbor freight...a plunge and fixed. for a nice price. good features.. see Shop Ramblings for a review. Life the bed design.
Thanks for the recommendation Hal! We actually just got a Dewalt Plunge and Fixed Base Router for Christmas. that we are excited to try out! We have some projects coming up that we will be using it for, so keep an eye out for those!
The first bedframe I made had shap corner legs too... you would think you'd learn after the third or fourth time removing a layer or tow of your ankle but no you just end up a year down the line rounding over those legs 😅🤣
We spray the boards with water to raise the grain between sanding grits. After spraying the boards, they feel rougher, but then you sand them back down with the next grit. Once you are done sanding though you want the boards to stay smooth and soft, so we use mineral spirits to clean them. This helps remove sawdust, opens up the grain and pores of the wood, and also highlights any glue residue that may still need to be removed. It then evaporates into the air instead of absorbing into the wood so it won't raise your wood's moisture content. Hope this helps! -Tyler
What do you think of the finish for this modern bed frame? Do you prefer light wood or dark wood? Let us know!
@Christopher Lee Cook thank you! We're definitely partial to a darker finish too.

How much was the material cost for this bed frame?
Im thinking about building one for our guest room, debating if its worth building or buying one🤔

No one noticed the front legs assembly doesn't match the process they shows and is impossible to do the way it shown?

I love the simplicity of this design. For me, a slightly lighter colored wood of finish would be nice. Nice build!

thank you so much for your rubio monocoat comparison post
Of course! Happy it helped!

I love the simplicity and perfection of the work.
Thank you! We love how it turned out!
Great project, and great video!

Yeah we've had bed frames like that too...which is why every corner of this bed frame is rounded off and softened. Haven't hurt ourselves yet!
L I K E Super!
Thank you!
Looks great
Thank you!
Killer! glad I came across this.
Thanks, glad you like it! Let us know if you decide to build one too!
Mineral not water?
