[@paxtonducks]

Mike, would it be just as easy to upholster the headboard with human skin?

[@paxtonducks]

just asking for a friend

[@buckeythedog6132]

Paxton Smith Take a look at my foreskin It's the only skin I got Not much of a foreskin I never seem to get a lot Ba, ba, da, da, da, ba

[@karlackdamack4238]

Paxton, if you get a little bit of foreskin from Buckey The Dog you can add it to a container of Lacquer Thinner for a few days and it will stretch out over the entire headboard. I'm not speaking from experience...this is just what a friend told me.

[@africancichlids3011]

suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure. :)

[@markaustin1965]

Asking for a friend...... haha

[@cameronwilliams7272]

And how do you expect me an amateur DIY Weekend warrior to sleep at 1am when I have just found your channel

[@HardstylerProvo]

Words

[@rashpalsingh1918]

Love this book! kzbin.infoUgkxpCNxqmAkyjN6NPx1fyB7QiEFWyO5mUWL it is simply one-of-a-kind! I really love it, because karah explained all tools required to have the job done, not mentioning the fabulous diy pallets ideas. I'm pretty sure this will be a fresh start in my new endeavour. Amazon was great, they delivered on time. Thank you!

[@biladitanya]

Love it. The way you tackled the drawer is a great touch. Simple yet brilliant.

[@ModernBuilds]

That's a lot!! That's cool to hear

[@benicio1967]

You have no idea how badly I wish I could make this bed. Lost mine in the flood and have searched the Internet unsuccessfully for two years and can’t find one to buy. This was more difficult than I thought it would be. Required a ton of lumber I wouldn’t have expected. It turned out perfect. It’s everything I’ve been looking for and can’t find.

[@brianmccullough8493]

I love this one. Easily my favorite bed of yours. You could have also glued carpet scraps to the bottom of the draws to get them to slide

[@Taydiablo3]

I’m afraid of attempting to make drawers so casters is what I always wanted to do. You have me the push to go for it!

[@kyletenor2450]

Really love the look of this mike! I love your style, really looks great

[@ModernBuilds]

Thanks a lot Kyle!

[@shadowblade9461]

hey mark great build just what i was looking for. love the idea for the casters instead of drawer slides

[@victoriashockley2846]

My dad has taught me how to build and I think it is a useful skill to have. I might end up making this because it dose look pretty simple.

[@workshop_edits]

Sweet build! That mask is cool too and seems super useful for any project in a confined space. when can we get a simple shop tour from you?

[@ModernBuilds]

No doubt! It is. I'm planning on doing one once I get the new shop all set up in the next week or two

[@MyFoot]

The mask are amazing, i own one for projects. super great. Bought one for my parents that are bright colors so they are easy to find, super nice and very comfortable.

[@workshop_edits]

Had no idea you were in a new shop! I think you mentioned before the barn door vid that you had moved but I couldn't tell if that meant a new shop space, etc or just a new apartment or whatever. Well awesome - looking forward to the tour and as always, love the vids you put out!

[@workshop_edits]

I think I'm sold on it - going to get one today!

[@karenreed9620]

Thank you. I showed my husband and he will make me two for me. Our room and the guest room. Bless you.

[@just_a_guy13]

Plan on making a bed soon and I think i like this design the best. That headboard is boss too

[@silveravnt]

Doh! I just bought an RZ mask on Orval's recommendation. I love it so far. Awesome bed! I agree that the glue ups do not need any dowels.

[@ModernBuilds]

Right on! They're great!

[@BlackBeastWorkshop]

this is my favorite build so far, definitely going to try this in the future

[@ModernBuilds]

That's so awesome! Thanks a lot

[@carmendarlinseattle]

Really beautiful. Love the headboard.

[@Lasomie]

always so exciting seeing new videoss

[@ModernBuilds]

Yes!!

[@apurupamargapuri4192]

I'm obsessed with the way you talk. I don't understand half of it but it's soothing AF.

[@ModernBuilds]

Haha! thanks..

[@LadyLuvGemStones]

👍🏻👍🏻 yes, the castors drawers was very smart ! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@aidran007]

Love the look of this. 💜 the idea of casters for the drawers 👍🏼😃

[@ModernBuilds]

Awesome!! Thanks!

[@rawmark]

Ahh caught ya showing off your southpaw hand. lol. It's always good to see another lefty on youtube. I do a little wood working left handed but all of my stringed instruments are lefty so guitar, violin, and banjo. Cheers m8.

[@airisoo]

WOWZA!! I'm in love!!

[@areemetz07]

I'd love to make a sofa/day bed with storage like this! I loved your other diy mid-century sofa/day bed, but my roommate only likes furniture that sits flat on the floor because she has a few small animals.

[@beachbraids6747]

Could you please make a similar bed (with storage) but in the size of a double bed? Or could you possible put up the measurements for this bed but in the size of a double bed? Thanks, love your work.

[@marlagotzrandomality]

I was literally on your channel yesterday looking for something just like this! Lol perfect

[@ModernBuilds]

Nice!! How bout that timing!

[@newhorizonslifecoachcheers]

Great vid! I wished you lived in my city so I could get you to build this for 2 beds. I love custom builds! The only thing I would add to this would be a 2in. platform riser to raise it up just a little.

[@diyhuntress]

Dude - pretty much obsessed with how cool this bed it. May have to make one for my brother. Sweet project!

[@ModernBuilds]

Go for it!! But you'll put a cool spin on it I know!

[@crazybooklover1187]

This video is amazing!!! Thank you so much for the idea!!! Now i have an idea on what bed to make on our new house!

[@ModernBuilds]

That's awesome! let me know how it goes!

[@ClarenzTV]

This really a big help!! THANK YOU 😁

[@nessy96presljic]

This is great!! I really like furniture like this..and tools, I wish I have all those tools..(maybe, one day..). Nice job 👍

[@ModernBuilds]

Thanks!! One day!

[@jivkopetrov7049]

I enjoy to see how you grow with time. Keep up the good work

[@ModernBuilds]

Thanks a lot! I appreciate it

[@kenolandt4627]

Really informative and inspiring! Good job!

[@cristelahernandez7488]

I think your idea is excellent. I love it.

[@justine1.26]

Turned out perfect!! Well done!!!

[@ModernBuilds]

I appreciate it

[@BUMKID622]

Love the bed and the headboard, awesome job!

[@ModernBuilds]

Thanks a lot!!

[@igreene2514]

Really nice! i kinda wanna get rid of my eldest son's bed and make this one!!! Love it! Thanks for sharing - definitely gonna use your promo code to get one of those masks!

[@ModernBuilds]

Right on!! Let me know how it goes, or hit me up on Instagram if you have any questions.

[@Doorkicker505]

I like the idea of castors. Lining up drawer hardware is a pain the butt. Your way looks easier. I like those RZ masks !!

[@ModernBuilds]

Especially when the plywood had as much bend in it as mine did. Yeah, the RZ Masks are awesome

[@alexnolan7848]

I'd think its been a great year for that mask company

[@gravins32]

That came out awesome! I can't wait to mess up trying to replicate it 😁🐒

[@pedrocastro9718]

Hey man I’m a junior at my high school and I really liked what you do you inspired me to create things and i just wanted to know what did you had to do to get to this level like what career or sum that you did to learn this. You the bomb man keep doing what you doing

[@andreacoralde7993]

With storage very nice to keep things and purposeful

[@datkid21100]

Man listen this things are awesome 💪🏾👌🏾 I appreciate wood work

[@ModernBuilds]

Thanks a lot dude! I appreciate it

[@DOODLEND]

I love the casters! Great idea

[@ModernBuilds]

Thanks Nick

[@nolareborndollnursery4476]

I'm hooked on this channel. Thanks.

[@teresabell1014]

That turned out great !

[@SheikhAhmedBah]

Thanks for doing this. I started designing something like this but I kinda got stuck. This gave me loads of ideas. Thanks again.

[@ModernBuilds]

That's awesome!! Glad I could help

[@phxtonash]

I think your egg table is looking even better than it did in the video where you made it. you might not know everything about wood working but you are making really good stuff, and not just talking about it. nice bed dude

[@ModernBuilds]

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it!!

[@KS-no6ln]

I wish I was more inclined to pull off these projects. Lol. love the vid!

[@ModernBuilds]

Haha! Everyone starts small, then builds to bigger projects. Thanks a lot!!

[@ZehcnasEsined]

yesss I love this design

[@ModernBuilds]

Thanks!!

[@veramaria5617]

Nice! I actually had the same idea just yesterday. Love the storage.

[@ModernBuilds]

Right on!! Thanks a lot

[@antonmessina5304]

Love the build of this bed man!!!

[@ModernBuilds]

Thanks a lot!!

[@andreh3105]

totally earned my subscription, keep up the great work!

[@ModernBuilds]

Thanks dude! Glad you dig it

[@Slovenianwoodworker]

Yet another great build.. Glue gun is good tip for fronts it just could be problem with delicate projects it could make gaps between fronts and actual drawer.I recommend you to use "mitre fast" glue you just apply fev drops and spray activator. Nice work

[@ModernBuilds]

Yeah, for more precise projects it'd probably be good, but for projects like this it's awesome

[@dariusdarrell4334]

the dopple ganger effect was so cool and unexpected ... props to the editor... super dope

[@jillshomesteadexperience6706]

Looks Awesome I can't wait to make one

[@FIRSTDEGREEBAND]

Thanks, this video was very helpful.

[@DjKoraima]

I really love this. I dig it! 👌🏽☺️

[@ModernBuilds]

[@jewete4741]

Hey Mike I really love you video's keep up the good work greetings from the Netherlands

[@ModernBuilds]

Thanks a lot!

[@Sjjones1977]

Awesome project mate. Been thinking of building one of these beds only this week and you've given me heaps of ideas now. Thanks Mike, you're awesome. Keep them coming. :-)

[@ModernBuilds]

That's awesome. Glad I could help

[@RJPHOENIX]

Pretty nice! The only thing I would do different is to eliminate the drawer rollers on the floor, in favor of simple wooden drawer slides made of one by scrap wood. two - 1" X 1"s on the inside of each cross support and one - 1" X 1" screwed onto the outside of each drawer. That makes the drawers just a tiny bit wider and eliminates any wear on the floor, or if you have carpet. Cheers!

[@JosephArning]

And I'm too lazy to even make my bed lol

[@edwinmorales7773]

I want a fullsize bed with sceatcompmartment that i could hide pants and shirts my little brotbet2always usedingmy stuff. I got a parytime job so i can't play r To muchi want a fullside bed Brown write me back keep on with your vidio i going to stsrt learning fromm you

Modern Builds We just moved into our first house and it's unfurnished. We have a mattress but no bed frame. This looks like my next project. Sleek, elegant, minimalist! Keep up the good work!

[@africancichlids3011]

[@ModernBuilds]

Thanks!!

[@mydiy8501]

I really liked the bed. I also apriciate that you only endorse products that you would use yourself, way to go :)

[@ModernBuilds]

[@katherine8017]

awesome love it...thanks this is easy for me

[@Badgerworkshop]

Looks great with your table

[@ModernBuilds]

Thanks a lot brother!

[@AllisonLitt]

Love the storage idea because I have a small room, but I also have carpet + a rug, so the wheels wouldn't be such a good option

[@ModernBuilds]

Thank you!! The casters would still work on a rug, so long as it's not super "shaggy"

[@RobinCoomans]

Nice one Mike! A bed has been on my list for a very long time.. never got around doing it though. ✌✌

[@ModernBuilds]

Go for it man! Thanks a lot

[@maggief1095]

Thank you for this video. I'm planning to make our own just like this one, but king size and this shelves headboard. Let's see how it comes out,; I'm not experienced.
