On this episode I build a DIY plywood platform bed with drawers along one side. A large drawer in the footboard, and sliding doors along the other side. I also build a simple headboard with a ledge for holding and charging all of our electronics while we sleep :)

Thanks again to SimpliSafe for supporting my channel and sponsoring this video (simplisafe.com/foureyes)
Also...if you're interested in watching me come up with and model this piece in (almost) real time - here is a link to that video on my second channel czcams.com/video/EC6pPnDwkIs/video.html
How are you joining the three boxes? I am almost done building this but I am wondering what is the best way to join these perhaps make it modular and be able to break apart when moving, but sturdy enough when put together
How much did the wood cost
Thank you very much, am going to try this today
Hi, the modeling video of this piece is set to private and I cannot view it.
I would like to make something remotely similar to this - just two side sets of drawers and no drawers by your feet.
This is awesome! The only thing that I would maybe do different is to put slats in the middle part instead of another platform as mattresses can mold eventually without air circulation
Great build Chris. I love the visual aspect you put in your videos with the drawings. Helps understand everything much better. Great work dude
Thanks komar. I think so too. It's saved me many times, in terms of being able to convey something that would have otherwise been hard to visualize.
Your space is so cleaned
Hey a quick tip when you used the rputer against a wooden strip you want the round part of the base of the router to touch the fence because (at least with my router) that part is perfectly round. And if you use the flat part it will rock around and you wont get a straight cut. With the round part you can move it around and the cut will still be straight btw. Great video as always keep it up 👍👍
exactly what I've been thinking to do for my bed. thank you to make it more clear for me to execute it
This video helped me solve a problem with a completely unrelated project I have in the planning stages. I’m planning a wooden snake cage with front-opening sliding glass doors, and I could not fit the life of me figure out how I was going to get the doors into precut dado tracks without taking part of the frame apart and reassembling it around the glass doors. Your instruction of making the top track deeper just solved this conundrum. Thank you.
You are still by far my favorite maker youtube videos to watch. Combination of good designs, woodworking skills, presentation, and tongue in cheek humor is unchallenged in my eyes. Keep doin yo' thang!
Thanks Brandon. Really appreciate that :)
I like the fact that your priority is functionality. I also loved the advises, tips, and tricks. Subscribed!
Espectacular trabajo,y increíbles herramientas
The way explained it's really cool thank you.
Love a good puzzle!! Beautiful work😃
Awesome design and build. Nicely done!
Awesome video. Really impressed. Love the editing of the clip as well. Well done all round
Love your work and vey glad to see you growing still with your channel. Definitely inspires me to keep designing and building more...
Thanks Mitch...appreciate it :)
I love how unobtrusive the sponsor sections are in your vids :) You flow nicely from the project to the sponsor and back again, there's no dramatic or jarring pace change that just throws off the aesthetic of the whole video. I end up just waiting through it instead of skipping.
I think you just have that kind of calming and gentle voice that's comfortable to listen to :)
Thank you. Really appreciate that. This one was on the longer side, so I'm happy to hear it kept your attention at the very least :)
@@Foureyes.Furniture It is the linus of maker space!
Nice project Chris! Thanks for sharing the video with us.👌👍😎JP
Lovely piece of furniture. I am planning a similar build for my son just wish I had a nice big work space and tools like you. Nice video.
This video earned you a subscriber. I've been looking for a good video since I want to build my bed. And while I won't use the same design using the ply wood structurally didn't occur to me. So it will same my money when I start.
Love your sense of humor and your design skills
I didn't even finish this video and I am already beyond impressed. Excellent work, my man. I am never buying a bed box again.
Isn’t every bed a charging station?
ha...I guess they are. The original charging station :)
@@Foureyes.Furniture Surely the original was a smooth rock and a soft animal hide.
@@arbitrarystuff1229 Technically still a bed
Woah..
Giggity Giggity Goo
Hi Chris. Nice build. I've made a few similar builds and one advice from me to you, free of changer, would be ventilation holes under the mattress, and plenty of them. Even with a latex core, I've had issues with moisture build up between the warm mattress and the colder plywood. The first layer of glue will stop the plywood from absorbing the moisture.
Hi Chris, great build and just what I have been looking for. I have a Casper mattress and they stress to use slats spaced 4" apart as a mattress frame so that there is air circulation underneath it otherwise you could have mildew problems. I don't know which kind of mattress you have so this isn't feedback on your situation, I'm only thinking of how to adapt your design for my situation. Your content never fails, I love it! Also, those are my fav kicks so far!
Great build as usual!
Chris.... Your Brilliant! It was a pleasure to watch this awsome build!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed :)
Nice working place, great built 👍🏻
The best DIY bed with drawers I've seen on any channel. I would really like to see some plans to print with measurements so I can make my own. Such a nice build and video. Best of wishes from Puerto Rico.
Subscribe to his patron program and I am sure you'll be able to access
Can anyone confirm if it’s on patron
The length was great with me. No reason to worry since it flows nicely and timely.
I need this bed! this bed is absolutely amazing, Awesome job!
Flat bottom bits - boy you got me there 🤣😂🤣
Not sure if I can ever listen to that normally 😂🤣
Awesome work - DEFINETLY will inspire our new bed!! Thanks 😇
I couldn't help myself :)
They certainly do make the rocking world go around.
I like it as is, without any finish. I know you’d have to seal it with some clear to stop it marking up, but I’ve learned to trust in your design decisions. Nice job. 👍🏻
Thanks! I'll know for sure in a couple months once the rest of the bedroom is complete :)
love your videos! Question - have you ever considered creating a "woodworking vocab roundup" style video? i think it would be great for woodworking newbies to boost our knowledge. especially since your channel and your artform here is so visual itd be great to have a visual glossary so to speak. i ask bc whenever i watch your videos i am confronted with the following:
what is the difference between:
groove vs. bevel vs. dato vs. domino vs. rabbit vs butterfly vs. etc etc
anyhow, keep it up.
Wonderful and every time a new idea
Thanks! glad you liked it :)
Explained very well... 👌🏻
Flawless victory thankyou man love your work from philippines 🤩🤩🤩
I love your vids!Amazing builds always r for u!
Thanx.....you really hv made a good job...
Great build. Ive been thinking of doing this myself
Nice. You should :)
I seen this video several times and i really like it each time a bit more
I thoroughly enjoy your personality man! Keep it up.
Methodical! Excellent
Linens.....n' things.
Love it.
Perfect usage of “comprise.” Congrats!
YES!!!!
Awesome video as usual. Towards the end when you made the cable organizers I could not help but think that some T track in the top with sliding cable organizer would be cool. Also, that could lead into additional fixtures such as LED lights or hooks etc all sliding and adjustable.
Workbench / headboard. 😊
Loving the Crimson Tint’s 👌🏻
Thanks man...me too :)
no clue howni stumbled on to your channel but im glad. awesome job.
Nice. I got some good ideas. My son is going to build a bed frame and I really like the drawers on this one. He needs the storage.
Your equipments. 🥰🥰🥰 bdw Im 28f and liking this things is taboo in our community.
I have ideas but this is a good basic for them thank you love the video
Awesome job Chris! 😃 👍🏻👊🏻
Thanks Fred :)
as always a perfect video !!
Thanks! :)
This is almost exactly the design I did for our king bed...well, not exactly. But the long side boxes for me were broken in half to make assembly and taking them into the room easier. Ours will be drawers all around and ideally solid Walnut that will have a continuous grain on each face, but not face to face... that'd be one massively long glue up. It will also require floating night stands to get to the drawer under your head and I'm excited to design those...want charging,maybe light, and speakers... we'll see. Great video 👍. Also, I thought for sure you'd go with Blum undermount after building your outfeed /assembly table. I can't go back now that I've used them unless they just can't work in a particular application
At the point that I built this I had never used blum drawer slides. I actually just used them on a project that will come out later this month though. They are kind of hard to wrap my head around still...but they work great. You can definitely see the quality difference :)
@@Foureyes.Furniture yeah that's what I thought too. Trying to get everything square and perfect... seeing the tolerances they put in the catalog...it was overwhelming. Then setting in the drawers for the first time and seeing how much adjustability they have 🤯 it was awesome. Could easily be out of square or have a slightly wavy piece of ply and be fine. Also they can be side or bottom mounted to the box so they work for slide out drawers behind doors too.
Awesome. Like always!
Thanks Devin
Nice work as always!
Thanks :)
I really like this style of talking about the sponsor
Good stuff man. Keep it up!
Thanks Isaac :)
The Smart Doorbell Camera has been around since 1957 and 1967. It was first seen in the Whirlpool Miracle Kitchen and the Monsanto Plastic Home of the Future.
Another video well done, Chris. Great work. And ... sleep on it.
Amazing 👏👏
just listened to the podcast where you were discussing the standard bed comments... so i feel it necessary to remind you that you may bang your shins on the bed!
great video as always.
haha...already did, decided to burn the bed and sleep on the floor until I come up with a design that is impossible to bang shins on. No matter how hard I try.
I like those Jordan 1 crimson tints bro 😎
Thanks man. Me too.
Simply sweet video, just like your translation skills, simply impressive 😁
I simply appreciate it :)
Great job~
Lol dude your humor kills me. Thanks for doing what you do man! Always entertaining.
Appreciate it man :)
I would like to have those woodpecker tools. Especially the long t-square ruler.
Hu Chris
How are you?
Your projects are amazing, beautiful as always.
Congratulations for you and your channel. Allan from Brazil
Thanks Allan...really appreciate it :)
I like how you compared the different types of corner clamps in regards of how much time it took you to complete the task. It's interesting that there wasn't much difference between highest cost to lower cost.
Yeah, they were all pretty darn close to the same. Not sure if any particular model got them the most square. I was happy with all though.
I guess if you wanted to make sure you could send the bed frame to my house and I'll check all the angles for you to be sure they're square.
Chris Salomore this is a great video I'm going to build this for me thanks for this amazing channel...I hope my talent show channel can reach as many people one day like your channel reaches everyday....Keep up the amazing work you do....A+A+A+
Thank you...appreciate it :)
Awesome video
Peaceful video, even if I only understood about half of it lol. Would there be a way to do this as a beginner? @.@ You voice is pretty soothing and the music is nice. Thanks for such a zen DIY video. While I do enjoy high energy a goodly portion of the time, it's nice to come across a relaxing one occasionally.
Air Salomone! What talent
03:40 - Just a small quibble: _never_ write on a piece of wood to label it, with a pen of any kind! A soft pencil is good, and better still is a strip of painter's tape (you can write on _that_ with a Sharpie). I speak from experience when I say that there are few things more frustrating than getting near the end of a project and going to paint, stain or otherwise finish it, only to find that the pen marks keep showing through, no matter how many coats you lay down.
Edit: from later shots, it looks like Chris _might_ be using a mechanical pencil rather than a pen, but it's hard to tell. Either way, it's likely to give some the impression that it *is* a pen, and they could follow suit.
Home Economics at its Finest 💡💯
Was this for a queen sized bed? I'm looking at bed frames that add storage.
Love your work! Please make plans or a cut list available.
Look at little Chris tryna shoe off his shoes. Love ya
Great build! Can’t help but wonder why you don’t use your built in cross cut sled?
nice build man
Nice! I like it!
Thank you :)
This
Is
Awesome
Thanks
Joel
:)
Was holding my breathe for that pun
I got it in there just at the last minute :)
Those shoes are 🔥🔥
Looking good. I wish you have shown more of the "kicker" part, and how it was attached to the rest of the build.
The base part underneath? It literally just sits on top of it. You could screw it down if you wanted...but there really isn't any need. It's not going anywhere :-)
@@Foureyes.Furniture sweet! Thanks! How tall is it?
Chris as always great project and its nice to see you entertaining yourself!! I also enjoy how meticulous you are in your layout lines. Quick question, on your Ridgid shop vac, did you fabricate the arm for the hose or did you purchase this from somewhere? Also it seems like the projects as of late are mainly plywood, is this by choice? Keep up the excellent work.
Thanks man...the arm is part of the X-carve's Dust collection option. I have been using a lot of plywood lately. It is just kind of by coincident honestly. I have a couple other projects coming out this month, both of which incorporate more hardwood :)
Good job
I was just thinking in make a platform bed with storage, and this is just what the doctor ordered.
perfect timing :)
Chris, I noticed in your sketchup drawing of this platform bed that the top and bottom panels of the big side drawer boxes were *not* rabbited, only the side panels. But in the build you did a stopped rabbit on those top and bottom pieces, so the 1/2 inch back panel was "received" all the way around. What made you change course there? Any reason you wanted the rabbit to go all the way around instead of just being on the two side panels?
Best way to start my morning!
...by thinking about Bed :P
Chris Salomone about how much I would want a bed like this!
Hey Chris, I've been watching your videos for quite some time now and have found plenty of inspiration from your videos, both in your projects and in the way you plan and construct. I do have a potentially dumb question; in this video I saw that you used several different circular and track saws (in addition to your table saw). May I ask why so many? Is each one for a different purpose for you? Just curious! Love the videos and the calm aesthetic you have going in them!!
Hey man...I've gotten this question a lot. I think I might need to make an instagram post about it. In short. Track saw vs Circular Saw usually has to do with length. Full sheet of plywood. I'll use a circular saw with the kreg rip cut attachment (I don't have tracks long enough) cross cut I'll go with a track saw. I'm using two in this video because I was also testing out a new woodpeckers attachment I got for the festool :)
Hi Chris, love the video as usual but I wanted to give you some feedback on the videography (if that's even the right word). I've noticed the last few months something kinda changed about the style of the videos - still relaxing, still love the music, and the woodworking - but - there was something about the mix of the soothing sounds, the woodworking, and the old garage, random kid/wife running around and the day getting brighter and then fading into the night that always stylistically went very well together. Not sure how or if that helps, just thought I would point it out a bit if it helps you think.
Yeah. I'm very aware of that. That was one of my fears going into the new space. That the videos wouldn't have the same charm. And I think certain elements are lost in that respect. Ultimately though, I feel like 97% of the feeling was carried over. And the new space is a lot nicer in a lot of other ways. Like not being 110 degrees in the summer for example :)
@@Foureyes.Furniture You need some colour on those white walls. Now it feels a little anonymous. Bring back the warmth!
@@Foureyes.Furniture More like 96% - sorry.
until then...I'll just SLEEP ON IT
Was the whole build just for this one line... lol.
@@ParkourHiggiE Precisely.
fkn NAILED IT.
@@aarond7799 And glued it...and...domino'd it...and....rabbetted it...
This line was amazing
Chris has the best sneaker game in DIY.
So you have a cut list or plan I can buy/download?
Yes, that’s what I’m looking for, a plan so I can build it.
There are SOOO many of your projects that I want to make but this one shot up to the top of my list. I then realized, i've never sourced Baltic Birch plywood. Holy moly. Now, I live in Temecula so not horribly far away form you. I found 3/4" BB 4x8 sheets for about $110 a sheet. Do you mind sharing where your favorite material sourcing locations is/cost? Awesome videos. If I build this, I promise to become a patreon subscriber.
Hey man. I go to Reel Lumber. I'm closest to the Anaheim yard, but they have some others that may be closer to you. I don't recall the price off the top of my head, but I'm pretty sure it is cheaper than that. If you call they'll give you the price. If you build it...you don't have to become a member. I mean, I'd appreciate it...but I'm happy when people build my stuff no matter what...and if they decide to pledge a couple bucks, that's awesome, but not mandatory :)
I love his air jordens
Overall, I really like this cool and modern platform bed. The details of explaining the process of making this bed, to me, still somewhat confusing. I didn't have a clear picture in my mind of how you put all of pieces together. It would be helpful if you could shoot more details explaining how everything is put together.
Ughhhhh just the start looks daunting 🙀🙀
Hello I'm Migs De Jesus I like that bed with wardrobe and charge.
I just found this channel Chris, love your work and am subscribed to support a fellow tradesman!!

Great new intro style!
