Honestly if all UA-camrs gave tutorials like this... The world would be a better place. Let's face it all projects come with mishaps and I thank you. As a person who is looking for a DIY of a day bed.... This is the best tutorial I've seen and I've been researching for 4wks. Kudos and I hope your son is doing awesome in college!!!
Thank you for such kind words. I'll continue to show mistakes and how i got around them. Like most of us I'm not s pro and make mistakes. My son is loving college thanks for asking.
A made two similar beds for my daughter and son. Maybe Ikea beds are cheaper but they are not going to last as long, I weight 275 lb and I can jump on the beds without worries. Nice job on yours!
Very nicely done, I made two frames, similar to this one for a couple of guest and that were visiting me at the time and used two twin air matresses, guest gone I turned them into day beds and store the air matresses away,!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@BronkBuilt Thank you, let me add that I love working with wood, every piece I see has the potencial to be turned into something, I'm only sorry that after ten years of handcrafting, and doing just about everything I can with wood, all my tools are back home alone for a year now, since I'm back in boston, hoping to go back and continue learning from people like you and youtube, its the best school!!!!!lol again thank you!!!
turn out superb sir....i'm a weekend woodworker and only had a circular saw and 2 ryobi drills...sometimes we need to improvised with whatever tools we had...thanks for sharing sir
I live in Fl where termites are a problem so pt. My planer was left outside and when I got it I had to go all through it. It is a Ryobey. It wais in its case with sparre blades and lots of asserts. Even has dust bag.
@@BronkBuilt If your fence is flush, you can push the timber tight up to it and slide the timber along it. If the wood kicks back your hand could go into the cutter. Use the fence and 2 push sticks.
Yep, but I don't have a bit big enough. I could have used router to do half height and then a pattern but fur the other. Didn't want to go through that and honestly didn't think they were going to be a problem. Didn't have time once I discovered it.
Brilliant build well done Matthias (oops sorry, slip of the tongue ha ha ha), seriously though a brilliant build. I see you are using the Ryobi Nail Gun? I have the same one and i love it, haven't got the Trim Router yet as it's not for sale over here yet. Anyway like i said before a brilliant build, keep up these fun videos you do and well done again. Oh and one more thing, your next toy has got to be a Thickness Planer, i have a Fox one and i love it, makes life alot easier especially with a build like this one. Barry (ENG)
Thank you. Yes, that was the first time using my new nail gun and love it. I did shoot one nail out the side so I'll get the hang of it. The trim router works great for me. Probably not for a pro but for me it is great and was really inexpensive. I'll look up the Fox planer. Yes I really want one but need to save money. This can be a very expensive hobby.
I like this video a lot. I am planning on a taller platform bed like this (twin XL size) so I can slide a regular twin underneath built on a platform with wheels. In my head it works anyway :) We'll see. It needs to cool off first though, too hot for the shop right now.
Wow cant believe people are making a big deal about tools?! Even i could tell they were not his and im pretty sure alot of students go off onto college to start on their own and start from the bottom regardless of their parents money....but anyways good for you to be able to have those tools and make some cool stuff. 👍
Thanks. It doesn't bother me. Everyone can have their own opinion and some people I guess get enjoyment in trying to bring others down. I get enjoyment out of encouraging others.
Great job 👌 but euh.. I don't really get it when dowels are used and at the same time screws are used on the same piece of work 🤔 what's the point of interest 🙏
I'll need to go back to refresh my memory but I don't remember using dowels and screws in same joint. I do remember using a dowel in same joint that I have the metal bracket but that was just to help line up and easier to assemble by myself. Which joint did I use screws and dowels?
I went back and watched my video. My first reply I was confusing this bed build with my other bed build. Yes I did use screws and dowels and honestly, I do not remember why. Best guess was timing. Screwing would mean I didn't need to clamp and wait for the glue to cure before moving on, but really, I don't remember. Great catch though!
BronkBuilt LoL. One we're as big as WWMM or April's channel, they'll acknowledge the little guys like us exist. I really wish I had videos of my making my custom kitchen bar, daughters desk/workbench combo or jewelry box. They came out great, but I only have pictures. I may have to make some shameless videos with pics and voice-overs. Keep up the good work.
Because once I tried to glue them together to essentially make a 4x4 is when I discovered they were not flat and parallel so there were some decent gaps. Rounding them back helped hide that fact. I would have done the same anyway, even if that was the plan from the beginning. It is a quick way to clean up those 2 x lumber as normally they are pretty rough on all 4 sides. I start almost every one of my projects that way that use 2 x lumber. Actually after milling down all sides the boards look pretty good. I always appreciate comments and suggestions if you have better ways. Thanks for watching.
I have watched all of your videos and I'm still lost ... does that mean I have to binge watch all of your videos twice? The reason you only have a 15 amp circuit breaker in your garage is because you live in Georgia ... you don't need much power because you all have out-houses and the garages are used to watch sports and drink moon-shine by lantern light.
+Dan Bronk yes it does mean you need to binge watch all the vids again. Don't knock our moonshine until you try it. Just don't operate the power tools at the sane time.
Hey thanks for the reply,it was just the way you said ''one dollar chisel'' had me chuckles all the way,your videos are fun to watch,everyone has their laughs in their videos but yours are keeping me through the video with a good one,thanks again keep it coming
I truly do appreciate that. I know I'm not a pro woodworker but I am having a lot of fun doing these videos and hopefully people will see that you don't have to be pro to create decent things. With that, I certainly am not above showing my mistakes which hopefully people can learn from as well.
That is pretty accurate my friend. Watch my unboxing of the SawStop in earlier vid and I explain the deal with my wife was that if I get it, then no Christmas, Birthday, or Anniversary gift for me for 3 years. Truthfully it was a very hard decision for me to spend that much money on a single tool.
We do what we need to do :). Thanks for the sub. My next bigger purchase was most likely going to be a thickness planer before a jointer. Reasoning is for edges I can use my table saw to get a pretty good edge. It's the faces of the boards that are tough on a tablesaw. Thoughts on that?
BronkBuilt I’m after a thickness planer/jointer combo, I see on here there are a few videos showing good ways to get a real true edge on the sablesaw with jigs.
hmmm... Thickness planer/jointer combo. Interesting. I'll look for these. I have a jig for planing the edges of boards and it does work very well. Problem is it is for my old tablesaw and I have not rebuilt one for this tablesaw. Yet another project on the list.
Thanks for watching, but you are only partially correct. I could not tell if you were joking or not so just in case you were not... My son is in fact a very broke college student, and those tools are mine, not his. You are correct that there are thousands of dollars worth of tools but let's break that down. 1. Yes, I have a SawStop that cost me $1300. I have a video on this that describes how I came to that decision. Before that I had one of those $99 table top tablesaws that lasted me about 22 years. 2. My next most expensive tool is my drill press which I've had for about 15 years and that only cost me about $130. 3. My new Ryobi nail gun I just picked up last Christmas on sale for $110. 4. My Ryobi drill and driver combo was $79 on sale. 5. My Kregg jig was $30. 6. Every clamp I own, except for 4 of them, were under $10 and most under $5. Harbor freight is where I get them. The 4 over $10 were about $15. 7. My miter saw I've had for about 10 years and it cost $69. 8. My circular saw I've had for over 20 years and it was $49. 9. The palm router was $29 10. The larger router and table were combined $99 11. I can't think of a single tool I own for the past 30 years costing more than $60 other than the listed above. Most of my tools are going to range in the $30 range. So yes, I have thousands of dollars of equipment and over half of that expense is in the one SawStop Jobsite saw. Take out my SawStop and then I have hundreds of dollars in equipment. You could easily pick up a tablesaw every bit as good as this one without the flesh sensing tech for around $400. You could even go the route I did at first and get one of the $99 dollar table top models as well.
@@BronkBuilt I'm sure with a bit of ingenuity and some hand tools you can adapt whatever techniques that were used to complete the project, too. Maybe for some of the lengthwise cuts you'd need to borrow your uncle's SkilSaw or something. This project is totally doable on a student's budget. You're all good, bud.
I do try and put some of my humor in the videos, but it is first a video showing you how to make a full xl sized bed out of inexpensive construction lumber. I'm interested in all constructive comments so if there is something i could have done better if love to hear.
First time watching and honestly you are running off of 6 volts. You need to charge yourself up. You have no enthusiasm. Makes me want to sleep actually I clicked through your video

Your little guy looked so cute jumping on the bed! :) Great project, thanks for sharing!
Thank you. He has graduated now so I'm going to build him a new king size bed. He gifted the one in the video to a buddy of his.
Well done, my friend!! I will refer to your video when I build my bed frame. Thank you, Sir!!!
Thank you. Please let me know how yours turns out. I'd love to know.
Awe what a SUPER DAD !! 🎉🎉
Thank you
Great video it's nice to see someone using Wandels plans while adapting them to suit yourself!
Thank you. Yep, his plans got me half way there quite nicely.
Love your videos, so honest and normal but very very funny.
Thank you! I really appreciate that comment.

+paolo castellano Thank you. Its working great for my son.
LOVE my DowelMax!
That's a great tool as well.
I love the way this bed came out. Great job on the build!👍🏻
Thank you! It is working out great.
You did a great job on this, Congratulations!! I'm thinking about making a bed frame for my 2 youngest daughters.
Thanks. Nice thing about these is they are strong and can be modified to fit your tastes easily. Even use hardwood if you want
So happy i found your channel today!!❤
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
Really love it
Thanks. He used this bed for a couple years after graduating and then gifted it to one of his friends who needed a bed so it is still kicking.
Lol i like your sense of humor...and i like how easy you make it look....hopefully i can somewhat follow
Thank you. Give it a try, it really is not that hard. Change it to fit your needs and above all, have fun.
I am getting ready to build a twin bed and zi will be using 5/4 pressure treated lumber.
Great. Why pressure treated?
I live in Fl where termites are a problem so pt. My planer was left outside and when I got it I had to go all through it. It is a Ryobey. It wais in its case with sparre blades and lots of asserts. Even has dust bag.
PERFECTLY PERFECT! Thanks for sharing your work with us.
Thank you very much.
Just found your channel. I really like builds and your humourous nature makes the video really enjoyable. Thank you.
Thank you for the kind words and welcome aboard. Been a few weeks but I few more coming soon.
I like this video. Good build and funny. Thanks
Thank you
Subscribed. Keep building . With Love from India
Thank you! I'm a bit behind on my editing but i do have more coming.
when you are bull nosing the edges of you timber, pull the fence out inline with the edge of the bearing on the cutter
Why? Not arguing, genuinely curious. I thought with fence about part of board not flat would transfer that to the bevel.
@@BronkBuilt If your fence is flush, you can push the timber tight up to it and slide the timber along it. If the wood kicks back your hand could go into the cutter. Use the fence and 2 push sticks.

if you dont have a jointer you can joint boards on your router table there are a lot of videos on how to do it
Yep, but I don't have a bit big enough. I could have used router to do half height and then a pattern but fur the other. Didn't want to go through that and honestly didn't think they were going to be a problem. Didn't have time once I discovered it.

In relation to the saw stop, have you ever had to replace the braking mechanism? Curious to the damages that are done when the saw is used improperly.
I have never triggered the brake. Hope I never do.

Why cut off the round edges to then put them back on again?

“Completely unthinkable when following one of Mattias’ plans”...

Yeah, I know. It's kind of like going to a very high end steak place and asking for catchup. Thanks for watching.
Indeed. The closest you're ever going to get to a pocket hole in Wandel's plans is when he decides to use screws at an angle, lol.
