Building a Horizontal Murphy Bed with Recessed LED Lighting - Part 3

[@JoeEvers-h4c]

Great Video!! Appreciate you showing your "lessons learned" (AKA errors).... Next project for my son-in-law and me to build for them in my new shop!!! voice over is the way to go... I value more pearls of wisdom rather than simply listening to music

[@patrickboyer9332]

Can you make me one if you are close to Florida we can make deal

[@betsiemathews7934]

As an absolute beginner I feel that I can make this bed for my tiny studio appartment. Thank you! I like the voice over!

Enjoyed watching all 3 parts of this build and your presentation, music, narrative, on-the-fly adjustments and all. I plan on trying my luck to make one of these and so glad I watched this to learn about the spring mechanism and leg support package you used. I'll probably use the same thing and put on some wheels like you did (a smart and very practical addition!) - I'm guessing that it might be easier (for me, anyway) to make the bed part first before cutting and assembling the outer unit (upright frame & storage cabinets) to hopefully eliminate a need to shave off anything with a router. I'm sure I'll mess up somethings along the way and can only hope I find solutions to fix things and make adjustments as easily as you did. Thanks for sharing this video. You inspired me.

That is a perfect plan. probably what i should have done in the first place with the bed frame first, then the outer frame. good luck and have fun!

hey was wondering how much this cost you wood and everything

[@Henche28]

Great build brother! Would of been nice to see you paint it. I guess you've gone for a natural look

[@greenmanislife]

Thank you, this video is very helpful.

[@ThinkMakeDo]

You are welcome! glad it helped

[@drakanize]

Ty for all your hard work. What was total cost with all the wood and hard ware?

[@ThinkMakeDo]

The total cost varies based on your cost of plywood. during pandemic, a 4x8 sheet of 3/4 plywood was over 100 dollars and i think i used 4 sheets total. Right now i can get the same 3/4 plywood for about 50 dollars each from a supplier in los angeles. the Amazon hinges are 75 dollars. id say about 500 dollars, but could have been 300 dollars. Murphy Beds generally start around 1500 dollars retail fyi Do yourself a favor and look for a local, small wood supplier that sells plywood. I guarantee they will be 25% cheaper than your big box stores.

Would you have any of those measurements written down especially the location of the springs?

[@bradycd7]

I, too, would like to know the measurements for where you put the springs.... Been watching multiple videos, and NO ONE tells where they put them to make it work.....

[@thegimp4819]

See my comment below for advice on another user who gives mounting measurements 😁

[@angiev5350]

Measurements please

[@angiev5350]

And a list of parts. Thank you

[@GForceDrivingAcademy-jd6zz]

a lot of the hinges I see available, including the ones you linked are designed for vertical beds, what is the difference with the vertical hinge? could you use the vertical hinge horizontally?

[@ThinkMakeDo]

Hi, yes, you can use vertical hinges for horizontal and vice versa. its the same weight rating so no impact to useability. theres really no difference other than how you want to orient the furniture in your room. for me, horizontal was a better layout, and the bed stuck out less when unfolded so that worked for me.

[@designsinorbit]

Hello good sir. Thank you for the great, helpful video. I just wanted see if you could repost your sketchup file...it says unavailable...❤

[@ThinkMakeDo]

Hi, i just checked the link and it allows me to download. im wondering if maybe you need to have a google account to download since its hosted in my google drive?

[@designsinorbit]

@@ThinkMakeDo Hmmm...ok, well thanks for checking. I'll get it figured out.

[@chrisjankosky5776]

Thanks! Do you have the measurements of the location of the spring mechanism?

[@ThinkMakeDo]

added a photo and my sketchup file to video description. hopefully that helps a bit

[@jk403]

I love you Phil

[@WongJosephine]

what was the total time on this build? Thanks!

[@ThinkMakeDo]

Hi, id say maybe 20-25 hours

[@joshualaw943]

Good job wanted to see Ur cat lol

[@patrickfee5065]

i like nar4ative over music

[@clayboyd4675]

music not helpful. prefer explanatory voice over

[@ThinkMakeDo]

Hi, thanks for the feedback, will see if we can improve on that in our next series thank you

[@drakanize]

I agree voice over better but music not bad

[@thegimp4819]

For all the people asking for measurements etc. There's a guy on here who gives a bit of help. Search for ranbb and you'll be happy 😁 His username is Philip Holloway.
