I was so delighted to get the notification for a new video, and I’m so excited to see the new build once you’ve finished it! As always, 🙏🏽 offering so much gratitude for the inspiration. Btw, what are you always listening to in your headphones as you work? …..I’ve always wanted to ask that! 🤗

[@Dualex_Builds]

@@poeticjusticet.v.7377 thanks for watching! My headphones do connect to my phone but they’re mainly for hearing protection so I’m not always listening to something. I’m listening to something about 70% of the time. Usually an audio book. I don’t really listen to music too often

[@amaliapolizu9347]

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I love this idea of of couch and bed. I have tried a gazillion times to download the building plan but it gives me a blank screen. Is there any other way I can download? I have just installed the floor on my van and I want to give it a go with your invention.Pretty please find a way

[@vinces6508]

Love your creative mind when it comes to this stuff. If my wife and I ever hit the lottery we’re calling you

[@ghomerhust]

ditto! im flying him out to my crappy town to build a popup camper in my little vw rabbit pickup!

[@williamnighthawk6630]

You are very talented and ingenious when you design and build your Van interiors. Great job 👍

[@TawandaClark-ii9ps]

I love your confidence, how you believe in yourself to do your projects from scratch ...just goes right to work. Another job well done again.💪🏾💫✨

[@lsh3rd]

I remember when he was just building stuff in a parking lot and how astounded I was with his talents with basic hand tools.

[@ghomerhust]

he's extremely skilled, and im glad he's getting a following befitting his talent. getting close to a million subs on here as of oct 2024.

[@WisconsinWanderer]

When your feed pops up I get excited and can’t wait to see your creativity literally at work your a unique builder for van’s. Much appreciated 😊

[@lovestosingalot55bodin7]

Great job Dualex. You are multi-talented and will never be out of work. Enjoy the ride as you explore new ways to implement your ideas when designing these homes on wheels and perhaps making them them easier for you. You are really good at your woodworking skills and the use of all of your tools and safety while using them all. I like your designs and I don't tire watching your videos I look forward to see what you are going to show us next. Good on you!

[@youngsamty1351]

It’s absolutely pleasure watching your videos.

[@BigDukeX]

Awesome build DualEx, appreciate you sharing this.

[@karenz5112]

Always loved a Murphy bed!

[@allegrosotto2126]

And this is the design that suits me best👍

[@Sally-v6f]

Me too, best use of space ever !! I saw someone with a murphybed on one video, on the bottom side of the bed ( which wud be a wall) he placed a circular window or frame,with a light inside it and a picture of outdoors it looked like a real window awesome maybe dual will read this and do that too. I mean a real window on the wall ? Sounds like something dual wud come up with , hes the bomb ❤

[@Coffeemate41]

Wow your are genius in carpentry.

[@bobstewart4342]

that's an understatement

[@gullinvarg]

A thought for the leg, some home Murphy beds have a shelf on the bottom of the leg. Stuff can stay on the shelf when the bed is down and it camouflages where the leg is when it's up. It also might make the leg a little more stable since the "foot" would be wider.

[@Marlow4Faust]

You continue to evolve in your craft! By far you have consistently produced some of the absolute best vids in the industry. You need a sponsor, shop, and trained staff and you would be an absolute blessing and beast in this space!!!!

[@samegalle1089]

He's good at what he does because he has no overhead, a simple design and construction process, no salaries to pay or opinions to suffer, and 100% freedom and latitude. Sometimes bigger isnt better.

[@icecold5707]

He’s back!

[@allegrosotto2126]

👏👏👏

[@kimavery3867]

I love the idea of a Murphy bed and yours looks really good but I am concerned about the leg support. Won't it just move if you don't have a cross brace. It looks really flimsy.

[@naturallyfree01krj50]

Your videos always give me that WOW!!! Amazing work, as always, you keep finding ways to creatively outdo yourself. Dualex.

[@slapnut892]

Dude I'm learning so much from you it's unreal, and I like how you mention what tools you use and how to use them. The whole getting accurate curved cuts was driving me nuts, but now I know how.

[@rhylynadams7842]

AMAZONG WORK BROTHER!

[@lynwill9946]

Awesome design skills 🔥🔥🔥 I would use one of the three sections within the chest for a dedicated sleeping space for my small dog. Then use the other sections for her dog supplies, etc.

[@feelosophy1921]

That's a great bed option for a small space. Thanks for providing the plans. 😊

[@Niteskate1]

Hello Dualex, I must say this is a pretty slick unit and the instructions in the video are pretty clear. Thanks for another great video.

[@celestetolbert-rv8wd]

You are a talented young man

[@SeizeTheAdventureCo]

That pencil roller looks great

[@london7982]

Dualex delivered again 🔥

[@bigrobsvan]

Me (at the beginning of video): I should build this! Me (at end of video): I wonder if DualEx will come to my house and build this for me? Such clean work -- another home run. You could hide that horizonal gap by painting the underneat a different color (gray?) and then adding horizonal stripes to the wall to blend it into a pattern. Any pattern with horizontal lines would do it.

[@bethsuter4637]

Greetings from AlbaNY. I have Rochester and Buffalo connections also. What a great Carpenter, you’ve become! Furniture industry word: astragal. And an astragal could be the easiest, cheapest fix for your bed/wall gap. Fine furniture cabinet makers put an astragal on the back of left-hand door. The astragal covers the gap between the paired left/right doors. Let me explain the fix: imagine that your horizontal gap is from two cabinet doors (where the leg is your left-handed door, and the lower sheet of plywood is the right-handed door). Install an astragal trim into your fixed panel, from behind (so tack nails won’t be seen), the thinnest astragal possible. I’d suggest a stiff automotive rubber, flat trim, stiff because you’ll need the header part to stand very proud, that is taller than the gap is. Perhaps 1 inch trim in a cool accent color. Maybe a gasket for a patio door would work. And rubber, in lieu of a wood astragal. would also cushion the noise if there’s any banging of the leg when you’re driving.

[@Dualex_Builds]

Great to hear from someone local to WNY! I will look into the astragal. It sounds like exactly what I would need to complete this project. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience!

[@williegrant3054]

THIS IS NICE❤

about the sponsor: i got anker high output charging blocks for our mobile devices, and they are EXCELLENT. wireless pads, cables, and bricks. charges our google phones extremely quickly. they feel well built and dont get hot even when really cranking the power.

[@dyingsanity3252]

Always a pleasure seeing a new build. What are your thoughts (and plans if any) on tear drop campers?

[@smoofollowingqalroundthewo206]

Some nice mural there can incorporate the line/gap easily so it won’t be seen.

[@hectorquintanilla5520]

Great video thank you for ideas. Keep videos coming thank you for your service!

[@starr_ship]

This is awesome, and thank you for sharing the plans! I do think the durability of this design will greatly depend on the quality of the lazy-susan, however. Not all of those will fare well side-loaded like that in my experience (not that this needs to perform at peak level, but some get very crunchy after a time). Another alternative may be to mount some heavy steel dowels for the bed to pivot on and then embed bearings in the walls.

[@Dualex_Builds]

These are boat seat swivels so they are extremely durable. I’ve tried it with lazy Susans in the past and they don’t hold up too well at all

[@starr_ship]

​@@Dualex_Builds That makes good sense, and I know there are also furniture swivels (I refer to them all as lazy Susans) that are probably up to this task as well. I just had some cheap bearings ($) and even cheaper swivels (quality) lying around that brought this to mind. Swivels likely way easier to install and won't have the issues with wiggle.

[@DrMott]

Just fantastic content-thank you!

I just got a new used high top van. This is an awesome design, definitely considering it.

[@melaniewilliams39]

I love love love your videos!

[@PatricesProjects]

Another great build.

[@BenvanBroekhuijsen]

Looks great as ever, but the leg looks a bit fragile to me. Why don't you put more slats on it in between the slats from the bottom? I guess that would make it more sturdy and it is empty space you are not using. Also, how are you going to make sure the leg won't extend more than 90º? There has to be some kind of mechanism you could put on the sides to make sure that would not happen, right?

[@Dualex_Builds]

I’m thinking I’m going to use something as a spacer on the ground once the van is finished that won’t allow the leg to move when it’s down. I also forgot to mention in the video that I ordered a rubber bottom for the leg to give it more grip but it didn’t make it to me in shipment before I had to post the video

[@gabrielle4117]

You could attach a piece of wall trim along the bottom of that 'leg' wall

[@Bruin4Life]

The wall bed and base look great already and you haven’t even finished it as yet, so know that it will look and work great when you finish the buildout.

[@J.Mulleno]

Nice!

[@VanDavis]

It's all pretty, and the storage spaces are big. But the first ass to plop down on those cushions that weighs more than 150 lbs is likely to break that thin wood. I'm also not sure how long I'd trust that thin "leg wall" thing to hold up...much rather the bed lay down on a supported surface on the opposite side. It's gotta be functional and sturdy, before I worry about style.

[@Dualex_Builds]

I weigh over 200

[@VanDavis]

@@Dualex_Builds cool. I noticed you sit on it very gingerly, too...and only the once. No offense, meant. You do beautiful work. But most people don't do that, and I'm talking about lasting over time. I'd just use thicker materials and more support on things that need to hold people-sized weight, personally.

[@malikaeastonAllahfirstanfamily]

🔥🔥🔥🔥skill designer Your Creative

[@user-tc9ku8kv1r]

I like the bed but do you think you can make the fold down support panel or leg bigger and do build in storage in that area?

[@larrysmith3181]

[@TnTnO4]

Last episode you announced doing van builds. First thing I did was jumped right over and check it out. The pricing for labor is separate from materials purchased?
