ALUMINUM EXTRUSION DOUBLE BED that Lasts 300 Years

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

What ONE THING did you LEARN Today? 😊

[@tx31]

That I wasn't the only one thinking of a AL frame bed. Now to save up the budget for the tools and materials

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

@tx31 fantastic! Take pic of your bed and show us all ☺️

[@tx31]

@@TheAluminumCarpenter will do, but that's gonna take quite a while

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

I’m sure of that. But i will remember. Dont worry 😉

[@jeremy7088]

People would want to pass on gold and jewellery as their family heirloom but mine will be an aluminium extrusion bed that lasts for generations 🤣

[@chenchrissie1266]

love all the tricks! Flush plates of course! The way you put a marker on your ruler so that no mark line needed! Thanks!

[@lakeshavallejo]

Wow, I wish that my 94 years old grandma could have had one of your bed frames. She passed away on March 20,24, with lots of bruises from her too high wooden bed frame on her legs. Great video! I'm a new subscriber. Stay blessed!

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

Thank you. And i feel you abt the matter. Rest in peace granny.

flush plates.... very easy and simple, thank you very much

[@kdogjalapeno]

awesome talent, Thanks for sharing your knowledge and great job with the video editing

[@RaduVlad92]

You can easily improve it by installing the 2020 on the middle 3090 slot. That way the wood planks would sit lower and when you put the mattres in, it'll be surrounded by 3-4 cm of aluminium and will not slide out of bed. small detail that will improve the confort and make it much more practical for whomever is moving a lot on the bed.

What software you use for design the bed frame???

[@ewen832]

This was a very insightful video. Actually it leads to other ideas for me, especially an outside seating bench for myself and my wife Thank you. 🙏🏻👍😎. I’m from Australia and we are following the American trend of getting heavier. How do we build functional designs that can take different weights.

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

Awesome! You are very welcomed. I’ll know what to build for you. Just contact us through the website and we’ll take it off from there.

[@AJB2K3]

I find bare MDF takes on a pleasing look with nothing more then an oil (or in my case) clear varnish.I have never found coloured MDF.

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

Ok i’m a but confused. But i think i got it as you never got your hands on coloured mdf am i right?

I learned that 3D printed jigs are invaluable

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

Yes… I cannot agree enough.

[@patrickschardt7724]

Great build, design techniques, and utilization of multiple materials and jigs Gotta say though I liked old style delivery better

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

Patrick great to see you again! Thank you! Alright i hear you i’ll make a version within a week to reverse that.

[@chrisracer2007]

You could approximate the weight by clicking on the bodies of the 3d project and multiply them by the aluminium density! Try it out!

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

What software is that?

[@chrisracer2007]

@@TheAluminumCarpenter don’t you use shapr3d? Click on the measurements tool on the bottom left corner and then double click the body you need

[@chrisracer2007]

@@TheAluminumCarpenter don't you use shapr3d, correct me if I am mistaken. If yes then use the measure tool (bottom left) and then click on the bodies that have the same density. Find the density of each component and calculate the weight, density=volume/mass

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

Thank you. It never crossed my mind to do that. I shall try.

[@BobCollins42]

Where did you source the 3030, 3060, 3090 extrusions long enough for the bed sides (~2m)? Or did you splice them?

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

Im a local supplier. All in one piece not spliced.

[@BobCollins42]

@@TheAluminumCarpenter Well that puts you in a far better position than most of us. If it's not on Amazon, the shipping cost of long pieces is substantial.

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

@BobCollins42 yup i know right. Shipment fees has been a hurdle. For America especially.

[@mjremy2605]

Metal shops can probably order it for you. I know the max length by post is 8 ft. It could not be bigger than that on a bed. However, if you are going to put a foot support or wheels in the middle, might as well cut that long piece in half. Easier to break down for moving day as well.

[@alistairnorris2211]

What was the total cost?

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

Would estimate it approx $500. Materials.

[@木工經驗]

節省面積這一點真是誘人，但日本人可能不會同意，他們最喜歡木頭了。

I wish the narrator didn't read word-for-word. It's evident that the person writing the script isn't a native English speaker. Hearing a fluent English speaker (the narrator) read broken English is rather jarring. Or maybe pass the script through GPT-4 and say "make this sound like it was written by a fluent English speaker". Hell, if you do that you could just input your native language. Anyway, very cool project as always.

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

Thanks for pointing out… was so busy and didnt look into this! Next one i’m following your instructions 👍👌👍🤜

jesus freaking christ you realize that there are people actually living outside of english speaking countries??? you realize there are other languages in the world not english?? that is so incredibly selfish of you to only want a properly speaking english speaker. im actually so stunned you have the nerve to even make this comment

The bed looks fabulous! You did a very good job. The black inserts and wood panels look modern and gorgeous. Excellent work. You are ruining your videos with these horrible audio tracks. Music + robot voice + incessant advertising voice = viewers running away. You have a good channel. Keep sound natural. Add no robot voice. Remove ALL MUSIC!!!! Give the viewer some peace while they are concentrating on the build. None of us want music and incessant jabbering. If I turn off all sound, it is unnatural. So frustrating to visit your channel. You ruin every video this way. Remove this music and I will subscribe.

Are we in the 50’s? What is a double bed? There is twin, the rare twin XL, full, queen, king, California king, the rare Texas king. 99% of people don’t even know about the rate sizes or even the California king.

Your comment creates more confusion than aluminum extrusion joinery.

@@TheAluminumCarpenter actually it doesn’t. Maybe you’re not in America but there are only so many sizes of mattress and double isn’t one of them.

​@@koalafan1576Double is a bed size, it's equivalent to Full. Europe and Canada will use this terminology, though Canada does use "Full" more.

[@gaetanclamart5963]

Cool but looks like cash burnt for no reason. This is a regular furniture you can find for 100 bucks. 4meters of 3090 aluminum extrusion is already 100 dollars or more. It's about 300 dollars of material I guess. And it doesn't look good IMO. I don't think anyone would want this kind of design in their home. It would have been cool to use this kind of framing to make something that is actually usefull and not available on the market. Like a bed that is 2 meter tall with high storage capacity underneath.

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

Alright, still thanks for the watch!

[@mjremy2605]

On the contrary. The design belongs in the Museum of Modern Art. This is very beautiful. It is functional, elegant, breaks down easily for moving day, and will last forever with zero degradation. Yes, it costs a lot more in materials but a lot less in labor. Building this in wood you have huge labor costs and need lots more tools, it is heavier, and you finishing labor and materials cost too. Furthermore, on Moving Day, good luck if it does not fall apart, hard to reassemble. Furthermore this material is lightweight and strong. RV beds should be made from this. The same volume in wood would weight far more. Weight and strength are important in van builds. This is a gorgeous bed in my not so humble opinion.

Toxic? Are you cooking in it? Storing acidic foods. Unless you are using some subculture slang use of the word 'toxic', you are way off base. You may want to speak English the conventional way so you can communicate clearly. What a ridiculous comment.
