HOW TO Build A DIY Full Size Bed | HIDDEN NERF GUN STORAGE!

[@carlmainwaring4349]

Awesome thanks for sharing. Love the pocket holes and wasn’t sure if they’d hold for something like this. Now I know. Thanks again!

[@addicted2diy]

Carl Mainwaring thank you! And yes, it’s still just as strong and sturdy as the day I finished it and it’s been over a year.

[@scottslotterbeck3796]

Use good quality sanded plywood. Pocket screws don't work in mdf or particle board.

[@bschuske]

You are a Craftsman. Excelent work.

[@adrianramirezp.6716]

exelente trabajo , muy práctico y fácil de realizar felicidades

[@mhaz49]

Super project. I have to build a bed with storage within the next year and you've given me a bunch id new ideas. Thanks!

[@marleew6455]

This is amazing!! Well done!!!

[@scootersworkbench6347]

That is a really great project. I could see something like that working well for my daughter as well!

[@addicted2diy]

Scooter's Workbench absolutely! She could use the storage for whatever she likes!

[@Andreas_Achleitner]

Well done Katie!

[@addicted2diy]

Andreas Achleitner thank you!

[@joewalton2726]

fantastic idea, I love all the hidden storage.

[@scottslotterbeck3796]

I plan on a twin size. That obviates the hidden cubby, but drawers will go full width of bed. A nice project, for sure.

Wow, great build!

Handy Dandy Mom great job so proud of you!

[@ChadTomford]

That's pretty amazing! Any rough estimate on the cost of wood involved to build?

[@anthonyjames6472]

I am building one right now and the lumber using Birch Ply and dimensional pine I was at $600 and no hardware yet. But, it is a great project I am doing with my daughter for whom the bed is for.

[@scottslotterbeck3796]

Baltic birch is the best for drawers. Otherwise, regular sanded plywood works great. Lumber prices have doubled since January 20, 2021. Ridiculous.

[@rchavez5056]

Great job.

rchavez 505 thanks so much!

That’s Pure talent , I wish I knew how to make things like this you could be extremely rich

[@courtnrysalamone7677]

Im gonna take some inspiration, i have a trailer with weird walls that im renovating to live in and im looking for a captains bed thats tall but not too tall where i can have 2 sets of drawers, or drawers and an extra pull out bed, and possibly a pull out slab to use as a nightstand or something. My main thing is i want it twin size, and need it to fit into a hole where the bottom half of the wall comes in at a drastic angle, and still want to have drawers and possibly a second bed. I do like the look of this though, so my main inspiration will be taking the aesthetic lol

[@anthonyjames6472]

Katie, this is a great bed. I started building it this weekend with my daughter. But, I had a couple questions. On the desk/nighstand did you use 1x3 on the outside or 1x2? I am using dimensional lumber and yours looks more like 1x3? Just looks like a large frame around the flats. Thanks..

[@addicted2diy]

Anthony James for the frames of those two components, I ripped the wood down to be 2”. I would definitely love to see photos of the finished bed and please let me know if you have any additional questions!

[@anthonyjames6472]

@@addicted2diy Thanks much.. I would be more than happy to seed you a few. Guessing through your website?

K pretty awesome, you are a craftswoman. But anyone that has all the tools and shop space that you have doesn't need to watch a youtube diy video

[@davewilliams355]

Your brilliant, hi from the UK

[@nathanielmontoya7936]

do you have the actual plans that you used on this build ? My daughter loves it so I got to build it.

[@stephenwgreen78]

Looks great. I hope he loves it...I hate stepping on my kids nerf weapons 😂🤣

[@Kevin15047]

You win at moming.

[@addicted2diy]

Kevin Hosford 🤣🤣 My kids would likely agree with you sometimes😜

[@kenrubio1200]

What would I have to do to covert it to fit a twin bed?

[@scottslotterbeck3796]

I'm looking to build a twin-sized captain's bed. Sunset magazine has plans in one pf their Storage books, but looking for other ideas. Good ideas here. Not a fan of pocket screws in general, but in this application, a good idea for strength.

[@addicted2diy]

With assembling this in the house, it is definitely necessary to use pocket joinery. That being said, it’s been almost 4 years and it’s still sturdy as ever.

[@scottslotterbeck3796]

@@addicted2diy Yes, they work well. BUT...fine furniture does not use pocket screws! I use dowels generally myself. The best is mortise and tenon, but you need a mortising machine or a router jig. Anyway, you did a very good job, and I like the design. With small houses, we need all the storage space we can get!

[@peonylilyg8959]

Wow 💗💗💗🙌

[@ivyb4351]

My daughter would be scared how tall it is. I on the other hand love a tall lush bed it makes me feel like royaltie.

[@jbvol2442]

What are the overall dimensions? Most importantly the height.. thanks

[@scottslotterbeck3796]

Guesstimate it. My question also. Sunset books has a nice Captain's bed with plans. Look in used books for storage books. Look at child sitting, and look up child's chair. Actually, I think you could make it any size you want.

[@the_superfamily]

So cool! How much did this project cost you?

[@kellytucker8184]

I cannot get the plans for the twin bed to download from your site. Any help with that would be appreciated. The purchase site keeps telling me it is temporarily having trouble, and my card was not charged. Unfortunately, I can't get the plans.

[@addicted2diy]

Thank you for letting me know. I will work on that this evening and let you know when things are working again!

[@kellytucker8184]

Any word on this site going back active? Now when I choose the link, the page to purchase the plan flashes up and disappears. Thank you so much for your time.

[@kellytucker8184]

I think it might have worked on a different computer. :) We'll see!

[@cdbgbvo]

@Katie Cleveland Hello, I am interested in purchasing plans for a TWIN XL bed, would you happen to have those available for sale? Thanks.

[@GygaxGirl]

I wish I had all the tools to do this.

[@FringeWizard2]

You just need a drill, sandpaper (or use a sanding brush on drill), a circ saw, and measuring tape. For Tongue & Groove Joints you can use a dado blade with circ saw to do that. Everything else that I saw used in this video is optional and just makes the job quicker and easier except maybe whatever she's using to make those cuts in the edges of boards to fit in tools I don't even know what that is. There's really only two expensive tools you have to buy and that's the drill and circ saw.

[@scottslotterbeck3796]

@@FringeWizard2 there are no dado blades for circular saws. Just find a pocket hole jig. They are not that expensive. I would not recommend nails on this project!!! Need: circular saw, tape measure, a bunch of pipe clamps, glue, drill with screwdriver bits and drill bit set. Get good quality corder drill if money is a factor. Stay away from cheap Chinese stuff. Black and Decker, Craftsman, Skil, Kobalt, others are OK. Lots of clamps. I use Bessey clamps most often.

[@YourGraceMyLady]

How much was the cost to build all of this?

[@Mom2MrBabyHaikin]

How much is the overall cost of equipment and materials? I am getting interested in building my son a similar bed, but have no experience, equipment or knowledge yet...

[@addicted2diy]

I really wouldn’t be able to give you an estimate at this point. Lumber prices have changed drastically over the past year and I feel like they’re almost changing daily in one direction or the other.

[@scottslotterbeck3796]

You can make great furniture using very basic equipment. This is not the easiest piece to start on. Buy a handheld pocket screw jig. You'll need a drill, bits, and screwdriver bits. Clamps are a must. Pipe clamps are cheap and work great. You can hand cut most things using a circular saw. She's right, lumber prices are crazy as inflation heats up to the highest in 40 years, so shop carefully. As for the drawer glides, shop around. They can get expensive. Above all, be safe building and make is strong enough for a person to lay on. TBH, I would start on a simpler piece like a basic cabinet, storage shelves, or bookcase before tackling this.

[@merralindagoddard9530]

Sooo this was 4 yrs ago… Are you ready to sell it me now? 😂 I seriously want one for my daughter.

[@manolostern1779]

Wauuu ples manda los planos.

[@FringeWizard2]

Ah yes how to build a bedframe using thousands of dollars worth of tools. Ah well it's still inspiring and giving me ideas, although I got less tools and only palettes and scrap wood to work with.

[@stephenwgreen78]

You could build this with a hand saw, measuring tape, manual drill, screwdriver, and a box of screws (could even skip screws and drill if you got a cheap chisel set & used joinery/glue). People made very beautiful furniture before power tools/pocket holes...just start planning and build something. If you like it you'll pick up tools that make it easier/faster as you go. (I bet you'll like it) I would suggest starting with how to make a box as everything people usually make are just combinations/variations of this one concept (drawers/frame/headboard...) This style bed would look great with pallet wood too by the way😁👍 best of luck.

[@stephenwgreen78]

Just saw your reply to someone else 🤣have a great day
