Building Twin Beds, a Tutorial (Part 2 of 2)

No more sleeping on the floor! I built my boys some beds. I hope they're the only beds they'll have before leaving the house! This is the 2nd part of this project. Be sure to watch the 1st video in the series here:

I love how these came out and I know I said it in part 1 I think, but the head board accents are amazing! Love that! It was fun seeing the whole family help hold things!

[@GregsGarage]

Great job staying ahead of the challenges! The beds look awesome.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Thanks so much!, Greg! They about got me down

[@jewdd1989]

They’re really neat beds. Absolutely beautiful

[@BruceAUlrich]

Thanks so much! Appreciate that!

[@FishersShop]

Fantastic job, Bruce! Love how the beds turned out, especially with those black walnut accents!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Well, thank you! Im pleased with how they turned out.

[@mcmathwoodworks]

Nice job Bruce! The grain in that maple is sweet! And the walnut goes nicely with it! I bet your kids are pretty excited for their new beds!

[@BruceAUlrich]

They love them. And my wife is really happy so that’s pretty cool. ;) Thanks for watching!

[@woodnotestudio]

These come out amazing. Thank you for showing the mistakes and how you fix them.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Thank you! Glad it might have been helpful to show the mistakes and how to fix them. That was my hope.

[@brokenleadwoodworks]

Awesome solution for the domino mistake, Bruce! Enjoyed the video! Supper is ready!

[@BruceAUlrich]

ha ha...thanks, Mike! I was pretty crushed by the Domino thing...glad I found a way around it.

[@PianoBoy99]

Love the bed. Maple is such a nice wood.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Thanks so much! I really like maple...it tools very nice.

[@awl_in_woodworks]

Enjoyed watching the process. Always interesting to see how people work through the challenges that come with a build. Oh, and “I could build that if I had all of those tools”. Didn’t see that in the comments yet. I know how much you love that one. LOL. Great videos.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Thanks so much for watching! Yeah, I haven't seen that yet. ha ha

[@krisbabic89]

Great Video! Here’s a tip for anyone who needs to break the bed down more often or quicker. When doing the slats, cut a bunch of spacer block. Glue and Brad nail those in using a small setup block to give you a little wiggle room between the spacers and slats. That way you can just drop the slats in and they won’t fall out but don’t have to remove all the screws to break the bed down.

[@BruceAUlrich]

That’s a good call. The manufacturer of the brackets said to put them together this way, but I don’t see why you couldn’t have the post parts of the brackets on the headboard and footboard, rather than the rails. Might give some more options.

[@krisbabic89]

The brackets could stay the same way. That’s how I did my bed. I meant on the cleats that support the slats, that way the slats could be lifted on and off the cleats without undoing screws.

[@BruceAUlrich]

@krisbabic89 oh yeah, I knew what you meant. You explained it well.

[@MCsCreations]

Beautiful work, Bruce! Amazing looking beds!!! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊 (Cats included! I have 4! 😂)

[@BruceAUlrich]

Appreciate that very much!

[@PatCavanaugh1]

Beds look great, Bruce. I think I would have inlayed the design element as I think the boys will eventually break break some of the walnut accent pieces off. And boy, are they proud of those dog hole clamps!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Yeah, I thought about inlaying the accents. We actually like the 3 dimensional look they give being proud.

[@NomadMakes]

2 years you say? Hehe. I am 3 years into my media console build :D Great job, nice pair of videos and great looking beds. Cheers.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Thanks so much! Now, get on with making that media console. ;)

[@stuffsethmakes]

i'm gonna have to try spaceballs some day. seems like a good trick!👌🏻

[@BruceAUlrich]

They're a little fiddly, but they seemed to work well. I don't know why I had not heard of them sooner.

[@stuffsethmakes]

haha, i'm making a tapering jig video RIGHT THIS MOMENT...😂. not kidding 😬

[@BruceAUlrich]

Ha ha. Nice! A friend made this one but I had to modify it with some good ole hot glue

[@Looyenss]

Great as always. Why didn’t you use the drumsander voor the small walnut strips btw? Keep it up! Henry (manfaritawood)

[@BruceAUlrich]

I guess I should have. I took them over to just hit them a few times by hand thinking it would be quick. I guess after I was into it a ways, I forgot all about having that tool. Ha ha

[@GunflintDesigns]

Does water-based poly bring out the rich green in Kentucky Bluegrass?

[@BruceAUlrich]

You have no idea
