DIY Twin Bed

Learn how to make this DIY twin bed frame. My son was needing a new bed, so I decided to make him one and this is what we came up with. It was a little complex, but used very minimal tools. I hope you enjoy it! Thanks to Tuft and Needle for sponsoring this video!

Great build Mitch! I sometimes struggle with dowels too, but I prefer pocket hole screws, and use pocket holes plugs to hide them. I enjoy them better than the dowels now. The best part of this video is the client’s reaction! Thanks for sharing bro, and God bless!

[@3jake5mee]

great build, and so wholesome seeing your son's happy reaction :)

[@Noname-xn5tl]

Aww! Your sons reaction was so cute! Great job!

[@oscar8389]

Ik, it’s adorable

[@rayatlast]

The project was nice but the little one face when he walk in, PRICELESS!

Hello my friend. A great bed project for your son. You did a good job. Your son looks very happy now. And he liked his new bed. I watched with curiosity. It's nice to create and share a variety of ideas to help many people. Congratulations. See you. I wish you have a nice weekend. Great greetings.

[@MadebyMitch]

Hello Sahane! Thank you very much!

@@MadebyMitch You're welcome. See you. I wish you healthy days. greetings.

[@drayzday9580]

Nice I’m building my son his first one as we speak.

[@dunsmoregaines4239]

Great job

[@kd5dvmkatdaddie114]

Thank you for sharing your info. I am wet behind the ears and need to build a bed since I am in between jobs, gave my bed to salvation army to downsize and am sleeping on a coleman cot which I like but it is no permanent replacement for a real bed. I need a twin because my room is about 8x14. I need to make it taller since my back isn't in the best of shape at 62 yrs. It would be nice to have a headboard with a built in bookshelf for those late night reads. I see where your hardware and board build-ups will work really good for this 180 lb. man.Thank you.

[@astrofishics2007]

Can’t wait to make one!! Suddenly grateful my dad made me build a bunch of shit

[@hannieltedla1330]

Absolutely I'll make it happen

[@cakeisalie]

looks like an IKEA Tarva, but way sturdier I bet!

[@prussiancountryhuman]

Just a thing to consider. you could use a 2x3 for the lip just in case the slats are a little short. (edit) slats are cross braces.

[@jontucker7292]

Hell of a job sir, love your comemtary, keep up the great work,

[@ronaldpoddig6188]

Very nice as always.

[@MadebyMitch]

Thanks Ronald!

[@Getclapped-ci3fy]

Bumb

[@banjoman44]

Excellent job.

[@alexanderross3254]

Just fyi the cross dowel nuts you link to in the description are 6mm, not 1/4 inch. Something I should've checked before buying. Other than that, great build!

[@raciocinioinfinito9915]

Linda família parabéns

[@murrayhill9000]

Very nice project Mitch. Question: Did you make the hole too large to accommodate the barrel nuts at the corners? S/B 1/4" hole. I noticed the flat head furniture bolts might have been longer than necessary since they extended well beyond the barrel nuts. When gluing wood together it's always better to sprinkle a little bit of salt on the pieces. When they're clamped together they won't move. The salt will dissolve. I'm thinking that I will add 3 inches to the length and width so that the bedding will fold around the mattress without chafing your hands while making the bed. I like the fact that you chose 1x6 instead of using 2"x lumber. Did you use "Select Pine" for the side rails? I understand the knots have an aesthetic value but I'm thinking of spending the extra $$ for Oak or Clear Hemlock. Again, personal choice. Nice project and nicely done. THANKS.

I`m retired and have a small shop where I perform woodturning, create musical instruments, and some cabinetry. I have a shelf full of woodworking textbooks - but I found this woodworking guide, *TopFineWoodworking. Com* . The comprehensiveness of this book is surprising. It has decent coverage on every topic.?

[@WayWoodworking]

Love it Mitch! Proud of you!

[@MadebyMitch]

Thanks Tony!

[@yhadie01ify]

nice

[@Pavel_Ru_V]

Круто брат👍 Молодец!!!

[@akwoodworker]

this is coollllllllllllllllll

[@MadebyMitch]

Thanks Riley!

[@MoranGuyVideos]

Nice job , it turns great! why not using pocket holes for this project?

[@kulpfamily6525]

Yea pocket holes way easier than those insert things...but if you are looking for the bolt showing look..

[@kellymurphy5256]

Is this considered a twin XL? If not, how would you adjust to make it longer (cuts)?

[@YOBISTUFF]

Interesting :)

[@gsandau]

Can anyone tell me... could you glue the four boards together and then cut instead?

[@rayatlast]

Very informative video thanks, would pocket hole work?

[@MadebyMitch]

Thanks Ray! Yes I'm sure pocket holes could work

[@vantae9541]

So pefct u r ❤😍#love frm india.....can u plz tell me where r uh from ...🤔?

[@queenketlyn4430]

How much is this cost to make it?

[@glumGlumm]

Lol $5 for the plan. You can get free plan build at Anna white she make tons of bed frame with free plan.

[@KimboesliceKnockOut]

Who else's didn't finish this video?

[@jaeblack6463]

Lol

[@kodiham7532]

Had to speed it up and still cut it short.

[@SkinE-Vadee-Veechee]

What type of glue?

[@ileanagamboaflores2817]

Has numerous details in this woodwork book *TopFineWoodworking. Com* . The book also displays several designs and descriptions on the materials used for various woodworking processes and also the guidelines on completing various procedures appropriately. In other words, I`m happy using this book, especially in the process of learning about wood working.?

[@philtorres2975]

Why go go thru all that glue up, buy 4x4 and eliminate at least 4 steps with the legs and maybe more.

[@matthewlavergne5610]

I did it too. This is what I used Woodglut designs for

[@mikefas5406]

Pocket holes are your friend. Way less work...🤷‍♂️

[@freedomofreligion3248]

Music just makes it harder to understand you. Please?? Your spoken voice, when you broke in and talked from the shop/garage, was better! No music, please, we beg you.

[@MegaEnchik]

Why the headboard is damn high, proportion is not correct, i just don’t get why people do this 😢

[@RUBYxx12]

Your teeth are distractingly nice. I just wanted diy info! Lol

[@shanifbutt]

WTH No dimensions 🤷🏻‍♂️
