Hardwood bed frame - DIY Build
Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 06. 2017
- For my ever first real DIY project, I decided I would design and build myself a queen bed frame out of hardwood (wormy chestnut).
Started with an idea, sketched it out, then took it into SketchUp for a 3D model of it. Ordered a lot of wood for the project as I was wary that I might stuff some of it up along the way... in the end I used about 30 metres of timber for the bed, and still have about 10+ spare for bedside tables.
The build took about approx. 80 hours of effort over a handful of weekends. Thankfully had some help for some of it or it would've taken a fair bit longer. Start to finish was around a month of work. It was certainly a lot to bite off, but it all came together very well in the end and I couldn't be happier with it!
The slats came from IKEA, and the side rail and centre rail brackets came from here: elraco.com.au/?product=genuin...

Yes the music is bad. Yes I should have been wearing footwear. You'll be happy to know I'm working on a new build video which will hopefully make up for the mistakes I made in this one! Should be finished building and have the video up with a month or two... stay tuned folks.
@The Disliker deep question... I'm not sure the world is ready for the answer
Chris Kastner the video is actually more enjoyable with this type of music. Just the barefoot made me worried. Other than that, it was perfect.
I thought the music was very relaxing.
The music was fine except it was a bit tinny. I had to turn it down part way through.
Other than that, I loved it! I’ve been looking for a frame to build on my own and I think I just found it! Thanks!
Wonderful seeing so many clips of a saw moving.
Very nice. The chestnut is beautiful.
Simply but beautiful bed, love it.
Why do people give thumbs down or dislikes. Here is someone who is doing something positive that he enjoys. He has limited tools but does a nice job with what he has. Thanks for sharing. And as far as the bare feet go, he will learn his lesson . Nice bed keep up the vids
Why do you let that bother you? This might be the most important question to consider.
Well, thumbs up means I like what I'm seeing. I'll let you use deductive reasoning to figure out what the thumbs down means.
Limited tools? That's funny, he has more than the average guy for sure.
I would give a thumbs down or dislike because this is suppose to be a tutorial video and the guy doesn't talk or explain anything throughout the entire thing. That's a good enough reason for me. Why waste the time making the video if you're not going to do it correctly and explain what you're doing and the equipment/materials necessary to do the project?
@@seanpiercy9291 there is something called "watch and learn" not every video needs explanation.
Nothing wrong with the music or the project. Good on ya for doing it in the first place and sharing it. For all the critics take a good look at yourselfs.
I like that the video showed me the structure of how the bed is built. Maybe the your next video could be a detailed tutorial of how you built and framed each piece, what tools you used, and any additional information that would be beneficial to someone actually trying to build this. It came out beautiful, good job.
love the music...! love this bed! 😁 I thought, what a human being can do with his hands?... wonderful things😁👌
Very nice build and one that will stand the test of time. Great to see a creation that isn't laminated MDF.
Impressive work, I am going to try next week, it is so fancy but rustic, simple but complex, it is amazing. Thank you for sharing
Thank you very much, I really enjoy you video. Music is awesome, I hope it represents your state of mind when you build, cause it become a form of art.
Wow! Excellent work for your first diy!!!
Great lookin bed, thanks for sharing!
It looks like professional! Love it!
Nice work can't wait to build mine.
Looks like a great project for my new planer. I've never used a planer before so I'm looking forward to trying it out. Need to find me some good hardwood.
Excellent video quality. Great design.
Thank you for sharing this. I love my Ikea Malm ,but I've been considering making it out of hardwood.
Those slats are really unique never seen them before,very practical
They're really cheap from IKEA!
Loved your project, good work.
Great build Chris
Beautiful! Nothing like doing some woodworking in your socks😉👍👏 Great video 👍
Very nice build!
Thanks bro for sharing , I just started working on one
Nice Bed. Well done.
Haha, your building a bed, not invading Normandy, such epic music :P
Great looking bed, nice work.
I'd rather hear the saws.
New video is up - hopefully I did better this time round!
Keep it going men. We support you promise☺
Beautiful Bed .Fantastic work ,Well done .I'm after a good one of these ,The one I own presently is not well made and falling apart . The ones I've looked at and liked are well made (pretty akin to this one) They are going for thousands .
That music makes it like those hunks of wood are taking a spa day
You know what? I like it very much minus the music. You did a great job. Nice finish 👍
Very nice...good job
Very Nice Work
Bon travail!! Good job!!
Wonderful work, thanks for share....
Um excelente vídeo parabéns 👏👏👏
Looks like a $3000 bed. I know how good it feels to wake up on such an awesome bed you've made. Cheers.

Nice job .
nice job! beautiful finish. im looking to do the same, with a super king... tall husband, wide wife 😅
First ever project? Damn, nicely done. Was feeling guilty about using hardware for joinery in my daughter's bed project, maybe I should get over that.
Nice job
You did nice job~
Looks Good!
Fantastic very very nice
God bless you I'm from India
Nice job,
A Great job
Looks good, but curiously, do those brackets allow for movement? I have a pair of them in my amazon cart for when I build my new frame, but I'm concerned how they will deal with movement over the years.
Wow I need that in king size place
Nice bed
hallo, nice bed and nice movie..thanks ! 🤓👍
Very Good
Such a magnitude of equipment installed and skills and knowhow...and then they call it a DIY video!
Well I mean I did it myself in my kitchen with no experience so I'm not sure any anyone else couldn't. Aside from the thicknesser, if you bought dressed timber you could build this with a circular saw, a sander, and a drill... which are all cheaper than buying a hardwood bed.
Dude, that was emotional. Beautiful job! Love the +30mm skill saw trick, I do that too :) now all you need is a female to give it the squeak test after all your hard work!
Squeak test lol 😃
A masterpiece
Nice TWOONE artwork in the back ground.
Graffiti Life haha thanks... it's my favourite thing ever
Good job man. I like platform beds. Approximately how much money you spent on material and how many man hours of time you spent to make one bed?
I would always prefer a voiceover explaining what you are doing and why you are doing it to any music. Nice bed.
Stupendo!!!!
Precioso...!
I would like to buy same bed, but unfortunately can't find any thing like this in Moscow =(
damn)
Perfect work!
yes good job! I think you could write or say what you do and why, if you want to make the video as a tutorial to help people out to build a bed. What kind of wood did you use? what did you use to mark around minute 3:38? And what is the first liquid ? thanks
This Chris Kastner is the man without fear in flesh, last time i was working bare feet in my shop i got a 3 inch screw in my foot :(
I’d say he’s more careless than fearless. Working like that in bare feet is just plain stupid.
P YT นง้เสด
nah, he's vegan.
Clean your shop! Lols
@@Jaqxy Vegan show signs of intelligence. Caring for the world and for themselves instead of defaulting to killing animals.
That's great, I watched you build your bed. Now can you do a video with instructions on how I can build on like it?
Great quality on the bed frame! I love the choice of wood you used and the design is simple and clean. I was curious about what angle you cut on your headboard? I like the angled design and might replicate that element on a build I have coming up! Thanks for sharing. Keep up the great work!
Think its about 15 degrees... basically held it up where I thought it looked the best then measured the inside angle at the back. Used that to cut an angle along the base and also cut out some triangles so it could attach to the bed frame
Beautiful bed! Use the music you like, wear what you will. It's your video/ your way. Good job. Stay free.
Classic 🥰🥰🥰🥰
How did you get the headboard to be strong while it is on an angle?
10:51 you can see there are two triangles behind it. These were dowelled and glued onto the back of the headboard. Then with the tops of the side rails, there are a couple of holes that I have run two allen key bolts (on each side) into an inset nut in the bottom of of those two triangles. Means the headboard can come off nicely... and holds it nice and tight - has a tiny bit of movement but it doesn't get much weight on it anyway.
Fantastic!..music is stunning ..not that bad :)
*TopFineWoodworking. Com* is an amazing book about woodworking. I`m a graduate of a one-year carpentry course from a local tech college. Of all books I`ve read during my study about carpentry, I think this is the finest book I`ve read so far. It explains everything regarding woodworking as well as complements it with helpful photos.?
Hi! Great job! What is the name of that drawing program?
The bed looks great! I've watched the video a few times now to get ideas for building my own bed and I was wondering what oil you used for finishing the bed. Thanks, love to see more DIY projects!
Avnish Mohabeer I used Liberon Finishing Oil. It's a blend of oils... not totally sure what's in it sorry
Chris Kastner That's alright, thank you very much!
Nice
Love the video and the bed! I am woking on a similar project, also using sketchup, is there anyway you can share the plans?
Sure - how's this? kastner.com.au/bed2.skp
@@KastnerFurniture wow. Amazing build. Great video. Epic music. Brilliant talent. Generous to a fault. The last two describe you. Thanks for the SketchUp plans.
The subjects covered in this woodworking website *TopFineWoodworking. Com* varies from wood types to tool types and uses. A few other subjects range from the various kinds of wood along with their distinct levels of difficulty when it comes to managing them. If you are still a beginner in wood working, then you will find this book very beneficial.
Chris I LOVE THIS BED!! I want to make it. Can I purchase plans from you? Or are plans available?
Great works Bro. But I think that your head panel is so short when you put the mattress and the pillows in their places, if it tall over the pillows around 3"-4" that look so better and able to supports your back when you sitting.
Yeah I agree.... I wish it was another board high (so 60cm instead of 45cm). I guess I didn't envisage the mattress sticking out so much in my head. Still very happy with it!
It's a matter of preference.I like a low head board.Or none at all .My cheap one came with one ,but I never put ir on. Prefere bed without.
HE BUILT IT FOR HIMSELF NOT YOU
@@seenitontv2734 It's my opinion that's user perspective. Have you any doubt aren't you?
I mean it looks modern, it looks clean but is it really comfy though? I‘ve slept on the ground with my mattress and it was definitely not comfortable.
It's as good as any other slat base... which mostly comes down to the quality of the mattress. Been sleeping on it for 2 years with a memory foam one and it's been amazingly comfortable
buen video
i like this camasutra soundtrack
Hi Chris, where did you get the centre stringer end connection from?
Brandon Kieseker there's a link to it in the description... shouldn't be too hard to find them online if they don't ship outside Aus
Love the results but I aint buying that many tools just to create a nice bedframe.
What type of wood is it? How has it been holding up with expansion or warping? Thanks for any info
It's Australian wormy chestnut, which is a type of eucalyptus. 2 years in and no movement or warping. Solid as a rock. Making it in 6 separate parts that slot together allows for some movement... all the joins are glued and dowelled along the length so think that's helped hold it all together. Have moved house once and it was a dream to reassemble!
Hi, great job. Are you in Austria? What was the approx cost of wood used? Thnx
Australia... I think I spent about $1200 on 50ish metres of timber. For the bed I think I used about 20-25 of that, so I guess maybe $500-600ish?
Esta genial amigo yo tambien me arme una base de camaa saludos
Beautiful job
Thickness of the boards?
Paolo
What is this piece of beauty called THE MUSIC
So... where is the video where you show us how to build the shin protectors to go with the bed???
I actually didn’t mind the music, love the bed frame, didn’t need to see the wood go through the machine 15 times lol but a good video
I really wanted to show just how much work was involved in that. I had to run 14 boards or so through maybe 6 times each of the 4 faces. Whilst it doesn't make for a very interesting video in hindsight, I felt like it'd be a lie to only show them going through once or twice!
@@KastnerFurniture respect, *approving head nod*
Great job! Will you be doing more videos like this soon?
Yeah I hope to! Just made some bedside tables and a bench with the leftover wood, but didn't film that unfortunately. Some pictures on my instagram of both though: instagram.com/typekast/
Planning on building a chair next, will make sure to focus a bit more on getting good audio for that one so I don't have to put music over it.
عاشت ايدك تحفة فنيه رائعه
Your video is good visual quality, put some fun music; also, add some voice or written instructions. Add speed or cut those repeatitive part. Remember, good videos are educational. Maybe you know it, but here you just took it easy.
Damnit Man we need plans & a cut list !!
Do u know how to eat
What color stain/finish is this?
Muy bueno pero el material y las medidas gracias eres un genio
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
como se llaman las uniones metálicas? Gracias, genial el video
what does the first machine do? even the surface on both sides by running it through multiple times?
fUjiMaNia yep you got it... called a thicknesser or a thickness planer. Basically makes one side parallel to the other and cleans it up
cool thanks
I hope you nailed the slats. They could come off with a bit of forward-backward rocking. 😅
Nails aren't enough, I've welded them on
@@KastnerFurniture 😂
Criss can you tell us the name of this music?
hello, could you tell me what liquid to use for the wood, please, in advance a thousand thanks, greetings from mexico.
Hola. I used Finishing Oil... not totally sure what that contains but I think it's fairly similar to Danish Oil
Here is the big question. Would you sell this one or make another one and sell it? If so! How much? I'm interested.
Yo queria ver todo y con la musica de fondo me relajo mucho y me quede bien 😴😴😴😴😴😴
I know this was from 2017 and you’ve changed your format since then, but I don’t think the music distracted from the quality of the build. It would have been okay without it, but music is such a subjective subject that I don’t think it’s possible to get it 100% right. At least it wasn’t drum and bass 😬
Before I read the description, I thought you were using Ash, but then I realised it had a warmer, red tone, but was pleasantly surprised to see you’ve used chestnut, which I haven’t seen used in the sea of walnut users. Nice choice. Oh and I have a question, if I may. What brand is your try-square, please? It looks rather smart.
Keep up the great work. I’ve been recommended your channel by CZcams, so thought I’d check it out. You have a unique flair, so don’t change your style too much! I’m slowly working my way through your videos and have subbed too, so see you around.
So it's not specifically Chestnut, but it's Australian Wormy Chestnut which is actually a type of Eucalyptus. Different species look like Ash, Oak... some are pretty pale, some yellowish, and some are pretty red.
The square is a Nobex Octo Folding Square - it's beautiful but I find myself leaning more towards a rafter's square these days.
And thanks for the kind words (again) :)
