  • I used LEGO to make concrete castles joints for this DIY Bed project. Most of my castle making experiences involves Lego so when I wanted to try and make a castle joint bed I decided to go with the literal and obvious method. I used lego bricks to make a castle and then Mold Star 30 from Smooth-On to make the molds. This project only requires a handful of basic power tools and was time-consuming but quite easy to make.

    I love this. The beams could be easily extended past the castles to put them more under the bed if people are worried about stubbed toes. I love the whimsical concept!

      honestly, I'd rather take the chance my toes would glance off the broad surface area of this concrete castle than clack my toes on a regular metal one where the contact point is so much smaller, it threatens your very existence.

    I love this. My art teachers would hate a castle joint that looks like a castle. My only addendum would be to cut your mold with a jagged line instead of a straight line so it references better when putting it back together. If you could sell the mold or feet, I would buy lol.

    Two things: You want a middle support touching the ground to prevent sagging, and if that is a foam mattress, you want a sheet of plywood directly underneath it to stop it from slowly seeping through the slats.
