Bunk Bed With Slide

Watch our newest video: "A Fancy Dead Blow Hammer, a Back-Saving Quick Lift, and a Bargain Router Plane | Tools Unleashed 02 "
• A Fancy Dead Blow Hamm... -~-
My son has been asking for a bunk bed for a while. To be honest, I procrastinated due to the scale of the project and I am surprised Nicole didn't just go out and buy one. Thankfully, she didn't and this sweet bunk bed with slide is the result.
Built with a crap-ton of Alder from my local supplier Austin Hardwoods, the bed is big, heavy, and takes a while to build. But the smile on your kid's face makes it work every second of effort.

Looking for the plans? Here you go! www.thewoodwhisperer.com/videos/bunk-bed-with-slide/

[@buff_panda]

Awesome, thank you!

[@RJ_Taylor]

You’re a good egg, Marc. Thank you so much for those plans! They are a great gift while we await the return of Wood Talk in the new year. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

[@AlejandroGonzalez-yw9wt]

Excelente Maestro, sobre todo la felicidad de tus hijos eso no tiene precio. Realmente sin palabras y gracias por compartir los planos.

[@juanjones3472]

How much is a bed like that

[@robertnelson2615]

can't seem to download the sketchup file. is the link broken?

[@markschneider1366]

There's no better blessing in woodworking than to hear your kids scream and laugh with joy ! Job well done 😎 COOL DAD

[@barnyardkh4]

More importantly, he said "thank you!" without being prompted!

[@magrildz]

Can't decide what was the highlight of the video... The build itself, the "pause to play with doggo" or the kids joyfully screaming and enjoying the finished bed. Quite impressive Marc! Amazing work and amazing family. Cheers

[@woodwhisperer]

Thanks man!

[@RenaissanceWW]

Nicole's muscles, no doubt

[@patprop74]

@Danilo, couldn't of said it better myself.

[@AGlimpseInside]

If the end of this video doesn’t make you smile... well it should. Such a great moment Marc! Thanks for sharing it with us!! Father of the year right here ladies and gentlemen!! Great build man!! Chris,

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Golly! Seeing how excited and happy your kids were about the slide really makes me want to build one of these for my room :)

[@Googaliemoogalie]

for yourself? I'd watch that video Mr. Foureyes

[@rawlsawh2804]

coolest dad award goes to....

[@webjr1981]

Matt Cremona.

[@rawlsawh2804]

William Berg not quite

[@Khalid.Al-Bahi]

John Doyle!!

[@kylegrudniski6049]

Agreed

[@youngflash9060]

My DAD

[@xKillerSlothx]

Thanks Marc. I made the mistake of watching this with my son in the room and now he wants one.

[@yojuanjose1]

Lol

[@JRBardown]

Came for the woodworking....stayed for the look of fatherly satisfaction on Marc’s face when the kiddos loved it. So cool.

[@jonathanlau1221]

THIS is what life is all about. Learning a skill and working with the hands we're blessed with, to bring joy to others, to teach about appreciation and passing those skills as well as love on to the next generation. I'm sure 20 years down the road your son and daughter will remember what you've given to them as kids, gifts made with your hands and fatherly love, and that will inspire them to pick up your love for woodworking, then passing those skills on to their kids, and their kids' kids.

[@lindasanderlin4444]

Dad, you are awesome! Your voice is so easy to listen to because you speak slowly and clearly. That you explain what you are doing so well and give pattern is stellar!! Thanks

[@billdouglas1721]

Fun and interesting project. My favorite part was seeing the kids' excitement at the big reveal. Nothing I've ever made for my kids has gotten such a loving, enthusiastic response. Great job!

[@foxhallww311]

Kids laughing and enjoying your work is what it’s all about my brother. Good work sir.

[@andysegelke3798]

That big thank you hug... THAT is what's up. There are exactly zero things in the world better than that. You're doing that dad job just right.

[@dennisdownes9319]

Every one of us makes mistakes......however, no "ill will" intended; it is comforting sometimes to actually see someone with far greater skills than mine look down at something gone wrong, and say "what the hell just happened?" I guess I'm not alone! Thanks. Great video!

[@narnia1233]

Everything just looks so smooth like butter. Very beautiful. I’ve never done any woodworking before but it looks like a lot of fun. I want to build a castle themed bunk bed for my niece and nephew.

[@mrcwoodworks4523]

As a wood worker I also built my daughter a loft bed with closet in the bottom and a ladder her friends love it ...

[@Sardious]

"I( don't like it......I love it" followed by epic hug. The best dad award a dad can get.

[@cryptosky4823]

Nothing is more joyful than to see your children happy and smiling..nothing compares.

[@gbjones54]

Absolutely love the kids reaction. Now that's a pay day. Great build Marc. "I don't like it, I love it."

[@neilbrackstone1819]

Nice job, good to see all three children enjoying the slide.

[@henchel]

Greetings from australia. Mate the look on the kids faces makes it all worth it! Thats the sort of thing money can't buy! Well done!!

[@michaelposey6529]

Subbed. You build things like I do and I REALLY appreciate a craftsman with your level of skill that doesn't remove all safety gear from your saws and then ignore people's warnings because "you're so skilled".

[@arayawoodworks]

Man. I am speechless. You are a great maker and a great dad.

[@omarflores323]

You're bot just a great woodworker but an even better dad. Im glad i foubd your channel. It's always good to watch your videos.

[@bettyboop3626]

You’re a great dad amazing job awesome seeing your children so happy God bless you all🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩👍🏼🙋🏼‍♀️

[@scaryfriend1]

my father in law made a loft bed for my son a while back. Sadly outgrown with age, and now i have just the ladder section that I'm trying to find a spot for. Great job!

[@breslaj4]

The best part of the video was seeing your kids overjoyed and hearing your son tell you he loves it. Good job.

[@KevinMoulart]

The look on your children’s faces alone makes it worth it ! Full of good tips and info as usual ! Thanks for sharing !

[@LutherBuilds]

I turned into the Hairy Giggler when you said if you don't have a Neighbor Jim, I highly recommend getting one. Hahaha. Great build by the way. Ironically, my son's loft bed build video was featured on the Hairy Giggler's shop update video a few years ago. Although I don't recommend watching it as the edit was a bit too long to watch. I am glad that I filmed it though.

[@andywright2380]

what a great video. Watching your kids get excited brings back lots of memories. I built a twin bed for my daughter when she was 4 years old, and we just moved it into storage last night. My daughter is in college now and my wife and I wanted a queen size bed in her room for guests. BUT my daughter was VERY adamant that we keep her bed and store it in a safe place because she wants it back when she has kids.

[@gelosul]

Omg I was thinking so much work for just a slide but the last 10 seconds make it worth every minute of the project.very nice.

[@tylersmith9868]

I'm cringing right now thinking about how much I used to draw all over my old bunk bed. Awesome build

[@demetriusbaloyi2605]

Nothing better than a squeal of a happy child at the end of their project. Thanks for sharing Marc it looks awesome.

[@matthewsplett5701]

I’ve watched for 10 years...this might be my favorite...your kids’ reaction was priceless

[@heatoncustomwoodworkingflo1769]

Wonderful project. On a side note...if I knew nothing else about you, the way that your kids look at you tells me you're a good man. Been subscribing for a while now...thanks for all the knowledge.

[@kiwdwks]

Awesome! It shows on your kids faces how much they love it. A great father with a wonderful family. Thanks for sharing it...

[@OldManYoungMind]

The Best Part of This Video Was Seeing The Joy It Brought To Your Kids - Good Going...

[@TFPadmin]

I don't have an inclination to build such a project, but I usually find something to learn in your videos, no matter the piece, so I watched. The best part, I must say, was the last minute or 3 where you wrestle with the dog and make the reveal to your kids. I loved those parts a lot.

[@TheEveryMaker]

I was wondering how you were going to manage the wood on the slide, makes complete sense now. Man, the looks on your kid's faces, and the look on your face seeing their reaction says everything. Really awesome build.

[@g2macs]

That was a precious moment that will stay with you forever, thanks for sharing with us.

[@michaelcampbell9900]

Marc, this is absolutely amazing. This is one to really be proud of. You’re right, nothing better than making the kids happy.

[@jordanbrewer191]

This is why I'm a woodworker. The look on your Mateo's face is priceless. Great work Spags.

[@aaroncashion7570]

One of my favorites of yours to date. So rewarding to build one for the kid!

[@valeriamino1670]

Great work! I will do it for my little padawan. May The Force be with you!

[@Maker_of_fine_sawdust]

Having your children, or in my case grandchildren, tell you they love it is priceless. Makes everything that came before it worthwhile. Thank you for sharing.

[@manishasharma8839]

omg!! the happiness on the faces of your kids.. Lovely!!! I wish I could build something like this for my son. Awesome!

[@lockcitywoodworks]

Watching your kids and seeing their joy at the end is EXACTLY why I want to start getting into woodworking. We’re almost into warmer weather where I live, and I intend to start VERY soon. I want to make pieces for my kids to enjoy for years to come.

[@tonya6458]

“I don’t like it, I love it!” That was priceless and with all the hours you spent on it, well worth it after that was said. Beautiful work on the bed!👍🏼

[@Yeshuaschosen]

Wow! This bed's finish is absolutely beautiful!

[@alanblasczyk1779]

Beautiful. To see the kids so happy and laughing, make it all worth it.

[@brainfornothing]

Fun before, fun building it, fun after. Thanks for sharing !

[@SuperDolha]

Nothing compares to your kids 🤗. You are a great woodworker and a great dad. Thank you for sharing your ⌚ with us by editing videos and show us your knowledge.. And a little bit of your life

[@stevehubner560]

Wicked happy kids brought tears to my eyes! What a great build!

[@2009reks]

Сhildren's laughter - an award for parents!

[@6ixkingyolo269]

That warm feeling when your kids discover your hard work. Well done dad. Well done.

[@MadduxWoodworks]

Marc, this is awesome! I really appreciate you showing the “screw ups”, and how even experience woodworkers make mistakes sometimes, but also how ingenuously you worked them in. Well done sir!

[@Kkuts37]

Just Great!! The smiles on those little faces are precious! :)

[@thaddeushopkins4256]

Really enjoyed watching the woodworking, and the ending with the kids. Thank you for sharing

[@kadirkadirli6529]

You are good father and abseloutly good carpenter. Well done 👍

[@ChinosLs]

all this work was worth just for the "I love it!" and cuddle that little gave you. both expressions were priceless. excellent job!!!

[@scottlward1]

Wow, what an incredible memory you just made for your kids. The details like the shelves and the hand holds (happy accident or not) make this bed really special. Your woodworking always astounds me. Well done!!

[@suzannedorbert7314]

I just wanted to say what an AWESOME build!! It looks AMAZING! I love your work and your videos! Your children's reactions are priceless. What a reward for all the hard work, time & effort you put into making this!!! ❤👏🏻👍🏻

[@ernestboatwright7172]

What a great gift for your son. It was worth every second of your time to see the smile on his face. Outstanding God Bless

[@MarkKMake]

Thank you Marc! This is one of the best woodworking videos i've ever seen. The pure joy at the end is the crown on the whole build. As a father I imagine the same joy on my daughter's face when i will build something for her. That's what all the failures and hard working hours worth it. I can only hope to build something that could be close to this amazing piece. Keep it up!

[@ianmathews8594]

I spy a bandsaw reindeer on your workbench! Made my first one last year and thinking of doing another to start a tradition with my kids. Great video and bed!

[@TR-yn5tb]

Mark - This is one of the BEST videos I’ve ever watched on KZbin. Huge smile on my face as I saw the finished product and the reaction of your children on this awesome bunk bed and slide. Congrats! Not only great to get to watch the build video, which is first-rate, but seeing the joy on the faces of those who’ll use the final product make it worth all the time and effort you put into this. Thanks for sharing.

[@DoItProjects]

That ending. So heartwarming. Worth every minute of work.

[@billyballard9184]

This is fantastic! I’ve been looking for bunk bed plans for years. Finally gave up for my son. Now I have 2 grandsons that need bunk beds. I love this concept. Thank you so much.

[@colinhawkins8265]

A super cute moment there with your kiddos. Nice work on all accounts. Beautiful bed, happy kids. It can't get much better than that.

[@vtank81]

Great job, man! Thanks for sharing your ideas and encouragement, but most precious of all, your family.

[@CLDiesel02]

Beautiful build, but the end..... the most beautiful part. Congrats on your amazing family my friend!

[@icidade]

it is very pleasant to see the love with which you made this project for your children. Congratulations!

[@AwesomeK285]

I love the kids reaction, especially the boy “I don’t like it I loved it”, just like how my daughter always said.

[@jajablonsky]

Very cool project. The bed turned out beautifully. The kids, and dad, really seemed to enjoy the slide. Thanks for sharing your talents.

[@joelgarcia3049]

Excellent woodworker and best of all, excellent Dad! Congrats!

[@tech4uro]

Thanks, I had some questions about a project like this and your video completely answered everyone, you guys still got it.

[@adamestabrook1584]

Great project and thanks for the tip on how to avoid throwing things around the shop!

[@sellers727]

My daughters are now looking at me with puppy dog eyes for this. Sadly, it's too big of a project for me at this point. You did an amazing job.

[@debramiller4650]

OMG! you're babies are getting so big and they are just adorable!! The bunk bed is amazing and I'm sure he truly loves it. What a great build! Thanks for sharing!!

[@nobull-dozer3356]

Seeing you kids smile and squeal with delight ... you must be stoked man !

[@eXdXgXe4life]

I made my 4 year old son a bed and got similar reasons... Hard to beat that level of appreciation! Good work!

[@John_Malecki]

I wonder if i can make this sized for me..... Killer build bud! Love all the different joinery methods!

[@guiturtlewood]

First bed build on KZbin I've seen that doesn't involve a bed in a box!

[@brentfowler2317]

Marc, is the man. I love this project. Woodworker, father, badhazz. Thanks for being an inspiration for passed 5 plus years. Since the wood talk online, Marc, Matt and Shannon days. Keep up the amazing work.
