After watching 30+ DIY videos for my platform, this is the structural design I´m going for! I enjoy your humor and editing skills too!
Thanks man that’s really awesome! If I were to do it again, I would have glued up the 4 sides in a box (square) first, then pressure fit all 4 top inner boards (like I did @ 3:12). Then you don’t have to deal with the giant pocket-hole L-shaped nightmare I went though 😅 I’d love to see it when you’re done please tag or shoot me a photo 🙌
Love how you keep the precise lengths out
It’s worth mentioning you can throw some sheet goods down on the slats in lieu of the 1x2s if you feel your bed needs more support. This was the original plan but I felt support was adequate, looks nicer, less expensive and all in one piece 🙌
Nice job. I couldn't have expected those LEDs but off such a good glow.
Dani you made it. Thanks for the vid. It was amazing. Great work on the floating bed. It looks amazing. Thanks for making us smile again. Now I understand why it takes you awhile to post videos. Keep them coming and we will watch them. Blessings and wish you the best.
Juan - way too kind! You win the nicest comment award haha, I really appreciate it and I'm glad you enjoyed!
Man you're doing great!! I'm on the same boat, working on a full time job, while trying to get a bunch of projects around my house done, trying to edit videos, learning how to do stuff, just a lot...I'm actually stuck on one of my projects causing me a huge delay on publishing my next video. Glad to hear I'm not the only one who runs with some problems in the middle of a project but encouraging not to give up. Thanks for the motivation and congrats on your new modern bed frame and your awesome video quality, I know how hard it is but it was worth all the work!
Thanks Tony really appreciate that! I can see you're already doing great stuff - I'll be keeping an eye out for you next vid!
Love that for once it's someone who doesn't do everything perfect on the first try but has to fix here and there but still makes it look great in the end. As someone who recently made a screwless shelf that needed quite a lot of fixes it's nice to see videos where not everything works kn the first try.
I’ve watched numerous videos on DIY floating beds. Yours is THE BEST!
The way you explain during video is great!
Ah shucks thanks Dorothy 😁
You are a breath of fresh air with your editing. Thank you for doing something you love doing. Hope to see more of your projects in the future.
So kind Sam I appreciate it!
Amazing! It looks awesome!
Thanks a ton!!
Just found your channel and love the energy, just remember to never burn yourself out. There are to many creators or get burnt out trying to get huge numbers. Just keep having fun and make what you enjoy.
That’s great advice Stephen, definitely still finding that balance 😄 really appreciate you watching!
I am half way through the video and that $150 ikea bed is looking like a good deal right about now lol I do wish I could build things like beds etc looks like a super fun project
Best Video yet. Cant wait to see the next project!
Thank you! 🙏🏻
looks phenomenal!
Thanks a ton Walter!
This is your best video yet. Incredible craftsmanship and awesome editing. Keep it up!
I appreciate it Ian!
That floating frame looks great! You did a great job with this video, it was informative and entertaining. Well done
Very much appreciate that Philippe!
Outstanding transitions and stop motion sequences. Cool project too.
Thanks for the kind words Ethan 🙏🏻
Great video! Looking forward to more.
Appreciate that Benjamin!
i found that slightly rounding of the edges of the holes (a scrap of sandpaper works, or u can ofc use a regualr sinker if that is more to ur liking) before u turn in the threaded inserts prevents wood from spliting most times, other than that it often realy depends on how hard/stable ur wood is, and the size of the used items. still think ur project turned out realy awesome overall ^^
Awesome video!
Great bed and video style. Keep up the great work man.
Thanks man much appreciated!
Nice job! The thing is I think space the under the bed could be used for a lot of storage. I don't know about everyone else but I can't get enough storage. Having the same bed but with some storage underneath for blankets, sheets, any other stuff like that would be ideal. Flipping up the bed instead of drawers would be perfect. Looks great though.
Great project! Awesome Edits!
Thanks Ben!!
I really enjoyed this video and might even use the design! Great job!
If you do please shoot me a photo on IG! Thanks Ian!
¡Qué fácil!
Gracias.
Saludos cordiales.
Seeing the fails and pivots in your process makes me feel a lot better about my projects. Also, very interesting to see how you overcome the obstacle or find a way to "erase" your mistake and try something else. Subscribed.
Love that feedback 🙏🏻 Thanks for the sub!
Please keep the videos coming!!!
Glad you enjoyed! Next one in the works! 🙌
This is so cool!!!
Thank you! 🙌
Your video editing is among the best I’ve seen! You put a lot into making this entertaining.
The content is what will make me subscribe. Keep doing it!
I'm glad the work I put in shows :)
Really appreciate the kind words Ryan!
When ever I choose to use a screw as you did with your head board I'm inclined to use "t-nuts." When appropriate "dowel nuts" are another alternative. Both nut styles require some alignment. Great video.
your editing is incredible. Keep up the great work!
Many thanks! 🙏🏻
Just found your channel out. Love your style and your editing. Keep it up
Thank you! 🙌
Inspiring 👏
Awesome work! Looking forward to seeing all new projects you have, keep up the awesome work!
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻
My pleasure, you seem to have a well centered vision of what you want to create, all the tricks and now how in wood working will eventually come across your path, just as they have to every single person that has done and those who do woodwork, so, when you think you noticed something didn't work, don't see it as a "mistake" it is simply one step that you have learned that is not adequate for what you meant to do. Feel free to drop a line and ask my I can be be of service.
I promise you next time I reply I won't do it while riding the Metro, this way I might look like I did finished at the very least college 😅
Very nice!
Thanks Troy!
Would love to know how you went about setting up a workshop and what sort of tools and pricing of it all sometime, been looking at getting one myself but its a daunting task
Just wanted to say that I really enjoy the humor and fun edits you put in your videos. It makes them stand apart from a lot of the other "straight to the point" build videos out there.
Really appreciate that Marc glad you liked it!
You’re awesome don’t give up
Thanks Stan I'll keep it goin!
The effort in editing and production is greatly appreciated.
It was cool that you left in your issues and mistakes, I can definitely empathize. I make car build vlogs, but still seems like every single project has multiple issues and feels like endless problem after problem haha.
Good luck in your CZcams journey man. I think this channel is guaranteed to pop off. Just a matter of time.
Haha the issues never end do they 😭
I really appreciate that man and same to you!
I just watched your garage video then this one. With only 4 videos you have 6.6k subscribers witch tells you a lot about your presence on camera and editing. I honestly thought you had been doing videos for years before I realised. You could be up there with some of the best if you keep at it and obviously life does get in the way. Really enjoyed the videos if you couldn't tell haha cant wait to see some more. New subscriber 👌
Wow I really appreciate those kind words Kyle, so kind 🙏🏻 Thanks for watching and next one is in the works!
hahah humour is impeccable got roasted with the ironone :p thanks for the useful tips !
😂 I burned myself as well - thanks for watching!
Wow!
I suggest you put out more videos! :D
Thanks Linn! I’m hoping to!🤞
love the bug in the back, "sup bro"
Good eye! Sneakin in a few easter eggs 😁
Hilarious, humble and good !!! The idea of using the 2 x 2's instead of the usual 1x4 bed slats were an eyeopener for me ! Why do we use those weak boards for slats anyways....I wonder ?......Love and God bless all, Lisa
Thanks for the kind words Lisa!
Very impressive! Your Shop make a serious progress.... cool editing by the way ;-)
Thanks a ton!
That's a great start after a long time, I was watched your renovation vid almost a year ago & it's good to get notifications from your channel
This is a serious content Keep going Bro 👍
I like wood work especially when they finished with epoxy Hah
Hey thanks a ton, glad to have ya! I haven't tried epoxy yet but I have some sitting around somewhere 😄
@@ModernRemade yeah I saw that but I suggest paint with epoxy or something before we feel the pain of wood pieces in our Bear hands 😂
This video is incredible! I feel like we're close in skill level, so it's so awesome to view a video from a peer with similar tools as me, as opposed to massive industrial size shops with a million dollars in tools.
Thanks Benjamin! It’s amazing how far a couple hundred dollars in tools can go!
I was shocked to see such low sub count. This is great content, keep it up.
That’s encouraging to hear, thanks a lot! 🙏🏻
Good video mate keep it up 👍🏻
I appreciate it! 🙌🏼
Like your work keep it up I like to see.
Thank you!!
If you're still looking for a workbench, try the The Paulk Smart Bench.
I will check that out; many thanks!
🤣🤣🤣 "checked my mask for spiders!" 12:55
As a 22 year spray painter of everything from bicycles to fighter jets I feel that one! 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
I'd have never figured you were self-taught, very impressive. You're finished product always look so awesome. Did you just learn though trial and error? CZcams? Plans?
Thanks Kris thats too kind 🙌 I learned 100% through a moderate CZcams addiction over the past several years haha.
03:12 "sup bro" .... pure hilarious
I just watched the video. First if yours I have watched. I like the inclusion of mistakes and fails. I'm not alone...🤣.
Keep it up. I'm going to look through your other work.
Thanks a bunch! I appreciate the feedback!
I was shocked to scroll down and see how many subscribers you have. Would've easily thought you were close to a million with your editing and woodworking skills.
Huge compliment thank you so much 🙏🏻
Thank you for this video. When u have plans let me know. Creating the bed for my daughter ful size bed at our new house
Will do! Thanks or watching!
Thank you so much for the video
Do u sell the plans for California king size.
Unfortunately I don't, sorry :(
However, I plan to create an improved bed v2.0 in the future and release plans at that time! Thanks for watching!
This guy is an artist.
I appreciate that! I do approach woodworking as an art form so I love that it resonated with you in that way 🙏🏻
glad to know I’m not the only one that checks my respirator for spiders before putting it on
I almost passed out laughing with the mask spider check, lolol I have definitely done this! LMAO
😂 I saw a picture somewhere online where a giant spider nested into one of these mask. I’ve never been the same since 🫣
A real craft piece wid amazing use of mind..... ++fun......no reason for such a low no. of views......wish u best of luck buddy from 🇵🇰.....u r really doing wonderful job👌🏻
Thanks so much for the kind words! 🙏🏻
yes i got one it just has 4 legs to keep it self upright
I need to know which brand of clamp is your favorite. Or perhaps there is some Feng Shui method to the mix and match clamp colors?
So far I like Harbor Freight prices but appreciate the Dewalt quality 🤙🏻
great build. love the idea. May you please tell me what was the length of the 2x4's, 2x2's and 1x2's?
Thank you! I used 8’ long boards for this one. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Those tools.. wish i had them all
Ik you will grow huge on CZcams good luck 🙌💪
Thank you! 🙏🏻
I’m thinking about making a bed really similar to this, this information is super helpful! Do you mind if I ask where you found the outlines for the headboard support? 6:40
I designed them in SketchUp! Unfortunately I don’t currently have them available. If you’re still interested, please reach out to me on Instagram of my website and I’d be happy to send them your way! 🤙🏻
Yeah I’ll be purchasing a bed. I want to build one but I dont have enough tools and supplies
Where I can get this types of gauge
Do you have a plan for the bed? I would love to tackle this project when I retire. Thanks
At the moment no, sorry! I'm hoping to make some in the future so please check back. Thanks for watching!
Lovely looking, but those sharp corners would have my shins in bloody ribbons in a week!
Haha! I had the same concern. Luckily my actual mattress is larger and more square than the blow-up in the video, so it hasn’t happened yet! 😮💨 now that I say that though…
Thanks for watching!
If I wanted to make same version but with higher base, do you think it'll work or would it tip over?
I think you'd be good!
Although you might lose the "floating" look. I had to find the "sweet spot" and push the legs in as much as I could without tipping. As long as you find that balance for your setup, you should be solid!
@@ModernRemade true, I kind if tested last night with the angles and height. I think best is to make the top frame higher.
can i suggest you use teenuts but rather then use them on the face board to use them from behind so as you screw your bolt in they pull tight against the back face. tnuts are used in commercial and domestic furniture applications they cost about 35c each at home depot.
Great idea thanks for the tip!
Nice video.well done .and can i get the measurement plz.
Unfortunately I don't have any plans but I may consider writing some up in the future. Thanks for watching!
"checked my mask for spiders" - well thanks so will I be now every time I use it, thanks for making my arachnophobia worse ;)
😂
I saw a Reddit post about this and have never been the same since 😨
Hey, I know it's a bit late, but can you add the downloads?
I would appreciate it
Sorry, I never learned to make proper plans ☹️
my game plan is to release a v2, as I think I could definitely improve on the build/design 🤞
Project for a single bed 90/200 please
love the mishaps...
I like the fact u keep ur mistakes in the final cut. Reminds us all, that none of us are perfect, sometimes things just dont go as planned and its not because we're any less. Keep at it bud, ur content is amazing!
Thanks so much Montana!
👍🏾
Watched the whole video, the design is pretty cool but i would've worked with the wood a bit diferrent.
Thanks for watching Alex! I completely agree, this design has room for improvement. I’ve given it quite a bit of thought and I’ll likely build v2.0 in the nearish future!
@@ModernRemade Can't wait to see it.
What size was the oak plywood?
4’x8’ 👍🏻
I built my floating platform bed with all reclaimed wood, leather from a couch and my headboard is mounted to the wall. I wrapped the platform with the stitched black leather. I wall framed an 8'x6' platform and mounted it to a 3 piece 4"x6" open end box. It sits 3 feet high. My cost was 0$
That sounds amazing! I want to learn how to sew for a few upcoming projects 🙌🏻
@@ModernRemade it's easy, everything is sewn inside out. I got lucky tho because the couch was already stitched. I used finished wood from a queen sized bed to give a matched look to the coffee table and the bench. All made from the same reclaimed furniture.
@@ModernRemade I can email you pictures of how I did it and the finished product if you'd like.
I love you
😂 ❤
I would have thought more slats would be needed under the mattress?
If it were foam, most definitely. The mattress used was pretty stiff and so far so good! Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
👍👏👏👏👏
how many 2x4 did he use
I used 8 - 2x4’s! Full breakdown at 15:10 🤙🏻 thanks for checkin it out!
Simple DIY, all you need is 150 bucks for materials, 3000 for tools and years of experience. Simple!
Do you do this for a living?
I wish! Just a hobby for the time being 🙂 Thanks for watching!
You didn't prime or seal your wood ? 🤔
Indeed I did! A few coats of polycrylic @13:00. Thanks for watching!
yo puedo aser todo eso.. sin tanto pedo.. facil.. una base se ase o no..
The main problem about DIY projects comparing them to premade objects is that the invested time is valued at 0 currency
Neither does resident evil
I agree! Hoping I’m interpreting your message correctly - If I were to sell this, or buy it from an independent maker, the time-cost is so important to consider and fairly reimburse. I don’t mean to suggest “you can buy this mirror for $100.”; I just enjoy cost breakdowns, so I include them for mostly curiosity’s sake for other DIYers 🙂
Since it’s for me and something I enjoy, the time-value isn’t monetary, but rather in growth and satisfaction of making for the sake of itself ✌🏻
Thanks for watching!
@@ModernRemade No worries, you understood it correctly :) I like doing DIY projects myself aswell, though only for small appliances and furniture that has to meet my demands but does not exist on the market
It was enjoyable watching your video 👌
are there plans for this?
Unfortunately not ☹️ I never learned how to make proper plans as much of the video was (evidently so) winging it 😬
Hope to release a v2 update though!
@@ModernRemade it’s all good man
Все отлично в видео идея реализация идеи минус этого ролика абсолютная непрактичность для обычного человека из города у которого нет мастерской и такого оборудования и склада.
Use an old credit card for glue or filling holes
$10 glue screws gloves tape finish ect? Times that buy 10 and you’re close
Ah good catch! For that $10, I meant that as the prorated estimate (2 gloves, handful of screws, a few TBSPs of finish, etc). I thought I said that, but I certainly did not! 🤦🏻♂️
Friendly tip for your videos. Drop the "walking in place screws and woods." It is cute, but not needed, and I'm assuming it takes a lot of time to do and edit.
Nice job but too many tools needed for an average Joe
Thank you I appreciate the feedback!
