The Best "How To Build a Bed" Video on YouTube

[@timstratton9]

Wonderful build... and for those wondering about the plans, stop over-thinking and get a set now. You'll have no regrats..er, regrets. I've built a few from their plans and was able to easily extrapolate what I learned into some additional furniture custom to me.

[@TJWorksWood]

100% agree! I have used the knowledge from the plans I have purchased to build other items and they came out better for it!

[@dreamworkshop6279]

Awesome to know! thanks for sharing

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Appreciate the kind...and unprovoked...endorsement of the plans/courses. I can understand how people might be skeptical when it's me talking about "how great they are", so it's awesome to have actual customers chime in. Your check is in the mail. Just kidding...again. unprovoked :)

As someone who works in audio I gotta say... Your voice overs are some of the cleanest on KZbin. And I appreciate the effort you put into them.

[@ephronx]

Chris, the care you guys take in each build (and the humour and humility you show and frankly, wear on your sleeve at all times) makes each of these videos an absolute treat to watch. Some of the things I have learnt and applied without even thinking about it, I can often attribute to something I have seen in one of your videos.

Hey Shane...appreciate that. It's funny. We just put out a new "woodworking tips" video this morning, and my bonus tip was to "Stop watching tips videos and go watch some projects". The sentiment was similar to what you mentioned. All project videos have plenty of tips in them...and seeing them within the context of actually building something is way more impactful than just collecting random tips. I don't know if people will take that tip...but I tried :)

[@mtnbourne]

As someone who has also taken college courses and have a degree in industrial design, you are 100% correct in saying your content is far more informative than anything I learned in school! Great content!

[@Das_B00T]

Went to vo-tech for residential carpentry, grade 10-12. Really fell out of love with it because framing cookie cutter houses wasn't what I really wanted to do for a career. Now, many years later, your videos and that delightful random philosophic rambling you do got me falling back in love with the craft on a hobby level. Thank you guys so much, I will definitely be checking out your templates if there's an idea there that my Mennonite buddies can't provide on their own,

[@briangolia8278]

In 46 years of experience I’ve used your technique to cut joinery more times than I can count. It’s a good procedure that insures accuracy. Enjoy your work.

Concerning your comment on the cost of your courses. Knowledge is priceless! I went to school for 40 years. (13 years of post Doctoral while working full time). My Dad always said “knowledge is something no one can take from you”. He was right. Learn all you can, please. Thanks Guys!

[@anneoreilly4900]

It’s a privilege to watch you work. And your voice is easy to listen to - even the ad and the discussion about the price of the plans - anyone watching this video understands the value!

[@hamzasfaksi5359]

Again an amazing lesson of woodworking, and I really appreciate the metric measurements added, it's something small but really helpful 👍🏼

[@tomanny528]

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jonny555ive]

The main reason I like watching your videos isn't the project in itself.... It's, you.... And what I mean by that is, I like how humble you are and I like how, yes you are selling something but you don't act like a salesman. You give complete and total freedom of choice to your viewers, and that is something very rare these days on KZbin. And, (definitely not a side note) of course your furniture is absolutely out of this world beautiful.... So, Thank you I 100% appreciate that, and I love watching you work. Your level of craftsmanship is insane good, very entertaining to watch. So, thank you for that also. Take care, stay safe out there. ~Jonny5🥁

[@nudgeaussie]

Amazing! I’m not a woodworker, I watched a few of your videos to give myself an idea of how competent I would be at a particular job or project based on my current skills & equipment. I therefore have no “built in” opinions, correct methodology or critiques. I do have extensive experience in viewing You Tube instruction videos. So here’s my two cents: You guys should make “How to make How to make Videos “ 😊 Your videos contain the correct ratio of images to tasks. i.e. No sped up footage of 25 nails being hammered etc Your voiceovers, as stated by other viewers, are calm, rational & seperate facts from opinions without bias or judgement of other’s preferences. You’re dry humour is well executed and integrated without detracting from the task at hand. Possibly one of the best examples of Videos That Tick All The Boxes I’ve seen on the internet. It’s like watching the Love Children of Jamie Hyneman & Adam Savage build things, and I mean that as a sincere compliment. Thanks for what you do, you’re good at it. 😊👍🙏❤️

[@michelmanning3763]

I used your course for my coffee table, and I can say that they are really easy to follow and are well made. It is very afforadble and well explained. Thanks for making these. Prochain plan, the bed is on my list

[@johnsanchez1619]

Excellent, this will be a project for my 16 yo son and I!

[@piermanuleydet3803]

Hi guys, I want to thank you to put every mesure in metric. I’m from France and I’ve been watching you guys for quite some times now. And this little détail goes a long way for me. So thank you, for that, obviously but also for your amazing content.

[@clemoniii]

Glad you mentioned all the toe comments. That was my only issue with this beautiful bed frame. GREAT comment on stance! Alas, bashing toes is a deal breaker. Thank you, but still looking.

[@Dogo24h]

The bed is very beautiful. I like its lightness and serenity!

I am NOT a woodworker - not even close. But I love your videos specifically for the narrative! Please don’t stop telling your stories! They are the BEST!!! I actually don’t understand anything you do, 😂 but I watch just for your voiceovers! Hi Delores! 👋

[@jasonwerkmeister5285]

Wow, dude. No lie but seeing the finished product gave me goosebumps. Excellent job that is a beautiful, beautiful piece and my mind is made up. I’m going to buy this plan and hope that it comes out half as good as yours.

[@chuckmeister6518]

I always like your builds. But I think what I like even more is your style of narration. Good job, guys!

[@joelb370]

Yes!!! For the love of all that is good- finally some metric conversions for everyone else in the world to follow! Thanks guys! Love your work!!!

Oh, that’s just so aesthetically pleasing to watch, that it just doesn’t really matter how much you charge for the stuff. When I get the tools and space for it, I just want it ❤

[@davidedwards8552]

That is beyond beautiful, anyone can slap an IKEA bed together, but it takes something else to make one with such detail and dedication. Amazing work

Man, first i thought that "Ishitani furniture" is the best one, probably it is amongst Asian carpenters. You are the top for me in USA :). This bed looks great, the design is perfect. Keep doing your stuff, your aproach in terms of details is maybe exaggerated but the result is on point. You've definitely inspered me, thanks!

Can’t stop watching your videos since I discovered the channel. Love it! I don’t even have the tools to make such beautiful furniture. But I really enjoy to see how you make it. A big thumbs up for every video! And also thanks for the metric sizes. Don’t you ever consider to use it too? To me it feels way way more easy. But I am biased of course.

[@stefang1087]

I discovered your channel some days ago and it was "love at first sight". I love that there is now yelling and crazy music, and all that. What it is, is your voices, pleasant I may say, describing step by step what you do and why, and all other stof and details, in a way so even I can follow all the way. I am not a woodworker, but I'm considering very much to become one, at list as a hobby. Maybe. I hope. I know is not that easy, nothing is, but for now it is very relaxing watching you, and is like allmost smelling the fresh wood cut, if it makes any sens 🤔 Anyway, I don't know what the future brings, but I know for sure that you guys are very talented at making furniture and telling others how to do it. You don't have to ask ME to subscribe 😉

Thank you for adding the Metric measurements.

[@shanenagore2667]

The production quality of your videos is truly impressive sir, my appreciation of them is what’s prompted this message. After recently stumbling upon your channel, I can honestly say that the production value I’ve seen is equaled only by the innovative and progressive designs you seem to consistently produce. It’s been refreshing ( a truly annoying saying incidentally) for me to see such commitment to detail/quality. Full disclosure, I was never a fan of the style of furniture you create/design, which in truth means absolutely nothing. Regardless, I still appreciate & marvel at your attention to detail, the beauty/fluidity of your art and the masterful craftsmanship you humbly & consistently display (despite your self-deprecating notions to the contrary). I suppose I’m writing this to simply offer my (unsolicited) admiration and congratulations to you sir along with my hope that the levels of support you receive are emblematic & reflective of your attention to detail and the innovation shown in the art you produce. All the best.

[@terristroh3965]

Geez, that frame is nice. I’ve been using that bridge technique for years. In fact, I used today.

[@cliffgroce1492]

Could have really used this video a year ago! Good work as always. I don’t think I knew how much I needed the better jointer.

[@dodsg]

I had a similar "make it low" requirement when I made a double bed a while ago. Rather than add support under the centre rail I went with steel C channel (the smallest I could get) as nobody would ever see it. It worked perfectly with no perceptible sag and leaves plenty space for under bed storage.

[@letsRegulateSociopaths]

that's good, cause one wooden support will not work for a king.

[@EmMa-tu8sx]

That bed will sag in the middle after a while, they tested it with supports under the center rail.

[@jacobhoupt]

Nylon strap on the slats so you can just roll them up when you eventually move to a different room or house. Soldering iron makes nice holes in nylon or you can blowtorch a sacrificial 8 penny nail as a hot hole punch thingy. I couldn't personally risk my titanium ankle, but I love the design and I think you are exactly correct about "the stance." Beautiful Work Is Beautiful. 👍🏼

".. and until then, you can sleep on it.". Gotcha! The final look was way better than I imagined

You guys are truly incredible at the craft and what you design / create. I just bought your course for the matching nightstands and absolutely love it. Very well done. One follow up on this video I was wondering.. At about 12:00 you mentioned you can use biscuits to join the 7 pieces together. Are these truly strong to hold together for a bed? Dowels/tenons/dominos make total sense. I would think the thin and shallow size of the biscuits wouldn’t hold for very long. Especially when you know 😉 ….. all of your pets decide to jump on your bed at nighttime and add some extra weight to the bed.

[@kevinf3641]

Beauty in minimalism.

[@ewanevans8938]

Yet another incredibly beautiful design. All about the stance. Honestly love you guys. Thank you!

[@jeremyspecce]

I’m glad I watched the video before I made my toe-stubbing comment. I’m still making it but I’m acknowledging that you mentioned it in the video. And I DO like the way it looks. My recommendation would be to put LED bed lights under the bed, so you have a fighting chance at night. These kits are available for under $20 on amazon and really are very helpful, they have a motion sensor and an adjustable timer for how quickly they turn back off. We have one in our bathroom too. 👍🏻
