"Floating" Platform Bed

Thank for watching!
This is an old woodworking project that I recently pieced together. I'm still trying to improve my editing skills, so pardon the mediocre editing. On the other hand, the "Floating" Platform Bed turned out very well in my opinion, keeping in mind that it was one of my first big woodworking projects. I currently use as my own personal bed and it's very sturdy. Maybe I went a little crazy with those cross members, but hey at least it wont break anytime soon.

That's genius with limited tools. Awesome and amazing work of art! Thank you for sharing..

[@michaelingram1184]

One of the more practical builds on KZbin.

[@manionhikes3475]

Something so rehabilitating to watch projects being built

[@CarloRay]

It's all i watch!

[@OliverKoolO]

The clam. The Ruler and Circular Saw for straight cuts with out a table saw or miter saw is game changer for me. Thank you for sharing. Great work

[@CarloRay]

Haha! I really appreciated that. Thank you!👍

[@shaweewishissime6718]

Technique, propre, esthétique, ambiance musicale adéquate merci pour l'inspiration. ;)

[@randyrobertson7775]

Dude. You have mad skills with a circular saw.

[@CarloRay]

It's all I had brother! Thanks

[@forgedelitegeneralsaow376]

[@CarloRay]

Thank you

[@nalzazlan]

The amount of wood used in this is astronomical. I'm sure one can use less like 50pc less to achieve the same result and make it easy to assemble and disassemble.

[@Adainair]

Great design.Building smtig similar. Thanks for idea

[@Samantha-sy7ww]

Im putting together ideas to create a base for my king size waterbed. I need LOTS of strength. This came out killer! Very nice-thank you for inspiring! :D

[@CarloRay]

That's fantastic, I would love to see it one day!

[@Rainman270]

Did you make you bed yet ? There is a great article by Ian Kirby on building Torsion Boxes. Very lightweight and strong/resistant to twisting. It's the same principle as Airplane wings. Fine Woodworking, ?1982. Let me know if you can't find it.

[@bruce5834]

Saw the thumbnail and was definitely going to make it. Watched the video and um.. I'm going to have to make a few adjustments. It's a heck of a build. Not sure I could pull it off as good as you did. Nice work!!

[@kimfleming8097]

10/10 on your music selection! Your video was pleasant to listen to.

Thank y'all so much dearest 🌹 Y'all such an inspiration 🥰 Appreciate y'all from the bottom of my heart 💖 Be Blissful Eternally 🙏👼🌈

[@paulsholar9356]

You produced an attractive and sleek design, so congratulations. My experience with this kind of furniture is that it's difficult to get in/out of the bed without banging my shins on the platform's edges. So I would want either to be sure that all the platform's edges are strong enough to stand on when I enter or leave the bed, or at least to round off the platform's sharp edges and corners in some way. Your design should also support convenient disassembly of the bed frame, so that it can be moved from room to room or to another home if desired.

What was your process when finishing the wood? Was that wood conditioner and what type of stain? It looks fantastic.

[@JLT2342]

[@kerihughesart4088]

[@terrifields8206]

I love the bed. I would like to have all the specs so I could replicate it. My son would love to have one just like this. I have been looking for one just like this but haven't found it until yours. Thanks

[@mardakworkshop4450]

nice job man well done 👍🏻

[@CarloRay]

Thank you

[@Kid617]

What kind of wood or stain u use did u have to plane any of the wood most 2x6 come all warped

[@anthonyg9822]

Awesome

[@CarloRay]

Thank you!😊

[@injun65]

I am sure I have missed it someplace, but is there a cut list provided,and how can you go crazy on bracing on a bed exactly, I dont think there is any such thing for this application,great project though

[@stormiechantell]

this is amazing but can you list what you use for this project

[@ottarjenssen832]

this is the best one ive seen. Wish youd put the plan up, or added the components and cm you used. Thank for the inspiration!

[@paoPerez944]

Sweet craftmenship and design! Love the music along the video. How much did you spend on all the wood?

[@janetteandrades1557]

Que tipo de madera utilizas?

[@willywill6486]

God's talent, amazing

[@CarloRay]

Thank you

[@maintenanceman449]

Hello. That netted-wood insert lay in deal up under the mattress.What is that?

[@aendgame8898]

this is very satisfying to wach and I really want to made this is any way you can share a list of all the materials and all the measurements your use

[@victorcharlie6384]

Are these type of beds practical ??? Thinking of buying one but not sure yet

[@gabrieloish]

Bro, quiero hacer algo similar aquí en México, podrías pasarme medidas de las tablas y productos que utilizaste para teñir la madera por favor?

[@azuanatoya]

video is nice, music give me ellipsis

[@gjunger]

I enjoyed the simplicity of production. And it was nice not listening some guy try to keep it alive with forced energy. I think I’m gonna make what you made. Probably with an angled headboard. Not sure how yet, but I’ll get there.

[@CarloRay]

Cool! Hope I come across it one day!

[@mrsri2554]

This is a fantastic method 💖👌🏼💯 Thank you so much for the great videos. I am MR SRI channel from Sri Lanka, I'm a big fan... Keep going 💖👌😍

[@CarloRay]

Thank you so much for the support. I appreciate you

[@patrickp6676]

Hi, great work piece. Can you provide link to where the stains can be purchased: Pre-stain conditioner Minwax Dark Walnut English Chestnut. Thanks in advance.

[@partha703]

Can you specify the size of the woods....

[@jorgeduraes3172]

what size if screws did you use?

[@Andy97906]

Nice dude

[@CarloRay]

Thank you!🙌

[@Th3_Gael]

Loved the video, the editing wasn't that bad tbh (music slightly too loud but that's personal. Do you have a cut list for this? If not then adding lumber measurements on screen during editing would be good

[@mrmoraka1]

True because the whole concept of showing this on you tube was about encouraging DIY spirit

[@alexmaster4374]

What is the name of the saw blade?

[@CarloRay]

Diablo!

[@EntropicG]

So beautiful! Do you take commissions? If so I would be very interested in making a purchase of basically this exact same bed!

[@rhondawalker6732]

Very nice. If you don't mind, What did You apply prior to putting on the dark stain?

[@CarloRay]

Thank you. It's a pre stain conditioner, which helps avoid blotches when staining. If you try it, it should give you a more even colour in the end.

[@Master_Blackthorne]

Is that last part a hint of things to come?

[@Lex.Dachstein]

Has already been said but very nice efficient, minimal production method! Can you please tell more about your finishing/staining methods? Wipe on poly?

[@CarloRay]

Thank you! I start with pre-stain conditioner to avoid blotches and unevenness of stain. Then I mixed equal parts of dark walnut stain, English chestnut stain and mineral spirits. Left it to dry for a day and finished with wipe-on poly. I did three coats of wipe-on poly, sanded lightly and did 2-3 more coats. Sanding in between.

[@MindOfAMiracle]

Do you make these for sale? I am in the market for a bed frame and honestly this is beautiful

[@MANUELMONTALVO]

I really liked the project. I have 2 questions ... What is the thickness of the wood? How many protrudes from each side? (the inked part)

[@CarloRay]

The wood is 3/4" 9x96" pine boards. After cutting the 45° angle length wise and joining them, they protrude about 6.5" x3.5". 👍

[@MANUELMONTALVO]

Thank you for sharing the information.

[@jenniferschmidt7630]

What size mattress does this frame fit?

[@lihsor222]

what was the cost for the timber?

[@juansotoipuc3341]

Friend, do you suddenly have all the measurements and plans?

[@bladefaust148]

What did you use to wipe down the wood before staining? It was the stuff in the white bottle.

[@CarloRay]

Mineral spirits

[@carloscamilolopez2829]

Buenas tardes , una pregunta, a que precio tiene ese diseño de cama.. así en esa medida..

Awesome build! What type of wood did you use for this project? Thanks!

Thank you, I used pine boards.

[@mclovin240o9]

I was waiting for a actual floating bed

[@spencerboyer2709]

can someone provide plans for this

[@LucasPerezBaranzelli]

This design is amazing! Can you share the specs or blueprint so I can replicate? I'd love to do one of my own. Thanks!

[@pabloaranegui2749]

Without a blueprint does not help so much.

[@blazinwater]

This bed so solid it can stand an elephant

Do you have a place where you right down size and cut angles that us mortals can refer to?

Where can i buy those woods here in the philippine?thank you for answering me😊

[@CarloRay]

I'm not sure, have you checked a nearby hardware store?

[@user-pi3sw4so1m]

Hello, I am following you from Iraq Your work is beautiful and elaborate. I would like to know what materials you used to paint and finish

[@CarloRay]

Thank you, I used minwax stain conditioner, followed by minwax stain and finished it with a couple coats of wipe-on poly, sanding in between coats!

Doy gracias a Dios por qué hay personas que entienden el verdadero valor de la vida

Thank you!😊

[@slimm2042]

Thanks for the video, I must commend your work. I’d like to know the type of wood you used for the bed, and how much weight it can withstand. Thank you

[@CarloRay]

Thank you, I used pine boards which are cheap and easy to cut. And the bed is extremely sturdy. Maybe too sturdy for a build like this but thats what I was going for.

[@slimm2042]

Carlo Ray thank you for your response

[@slimm2042]

I thought pine wood was soft? 😢 I’m trying not to get some wood that would break after a while, cos the bed frame is kinda permanent. I’m sorry for my english

[@charlestonsasha]

You could wrap foundation around with veneered plywood .
