  • Rather than pay the high price for a new Thuma platform bed, I decided to build my own using American Cherry hardwood.

    Brilliant move one the spline. I didn’t quite understand why until I watched the video a second time and saw where is added structural support on the end of rail.
    Awesome work!

    • @thepeacefulwoodworker9356
      @thepeacefulwoodworker9356  Před 8 měsíci +1

      The splines are positioned at a 90 degree angle to go against the wood grain. Otherwise the notch in the joint will break along the grain.

    @koobs4549 Před rokem +4

    Check your DeWalt Compund Miter saw, models DWS779, DWS780, & DWS790 saws were recently recalled for a safety issue. If it was manufactured between 2019-2022, it has a plastic rear guard assembly that can shatter or break exposing the saw blade creating a laceration risk. If it was made before that, it should have a metal piece not prone to the same failure.

    • @Kaodusanya
      @Kaodusanya Před 2 lety +1

      what happens if you dont have that spline in the castle joint. There seems to be more than enough distribution of stress in the joint. Also I bet its fine with a table, you don't usually have 300 pounds of weight plus and mattress on a bed all the time.

      @@Kaodusanya Weight is not the issue. Just a little lateral movement can snap the tab at the end right off. So he added the cross grain going up and down. Then cut the notch. Like splitting wood. It splits easy with the grain but not against it.

    Mesmerizing build! I've watched this at least a dozen times.
    Great idea for re-enforcing with a spline. Others have skipped this part with inevitable breaking.
    Love the using of biscuits for alignment of add on rails, strength!
    I've been practicing with a length of 6/4 reidwood and really knew I'd need a spline.
    Your method is really on the mark. Thanks
    My dimensions have been 1 1/8 thick to do a build up for the castle. Works okay but
    the overall dimension is 3 3/8. I think your 4 1/2 is better looking for a kingsize.
    How much of drop do you have for the mattress, I was thinking an inch would work and give
    the bed a 22-24 inch height. Your thoughts?
    Thanks again for such an informative and enjoyable video.

      I believe it was an inch and a half drop, but once I added the slats it was under an inch. I do experience a little bit of mattress drift, and I have to push the mattress back into place every so often.

      @WW-hr1hd Před 7 měsíci

      ​​​@@lucaguarro6116 The spline is arranged so that the grain is at 90° compared to the rail. This prevents the end of the rail at the notch from splitting off along the grain.
