I feel like this is what 99% of people would do compared compared other videos that say they are "simple" with only 10,000 steps later. Tha k you for this video!! Awesome

[@aglynn4531]

This is exactly what I was looking for. I love the fact that we can separate the two parts later to make it easier to move. Now if we could only turn back time so the price of plywood wood was not so expensive. 😊. Then again the amount of storage may be worth it. Thanks. Merci beaucoup. Antoine.

I like this a lot, much more straightforward than a lot of the other storage bed videos and it still looks nice

[@vaughanchapman2930]

I really enjoyed this video. I like the practical approach to it, especially "nobody is going to see this". I like that a lot. My wife has been asking me to make a bed with drawers since we moved into a smaller space, so I'm going to give this a go. Keep up the good work!

[@aquirion]

Thanks !

[@damianduran6480]

Thanks, practical simple woodworking, I would like to start this hobby and your video is very encouraging, it can be intimidating seeing the other channels with awesome tools and seasoned precision, but your video makes me realise that is ok to start just working, mistakes are allowed, and results are just as good. Thanks, I think you have done a great job!

[@aquirion]

Thanks , really appreciated. Comments like this make me glad i took the time to film all this !

[@keithdouglas2635]

Been looking for a simple design that works and doesnt require a huge shop to create. No shame in simple! Great work! I look forward to recreating this design.

[@aquirion]

Glad I could help ! Happy building !

[@kimmywimmy7305]

I love the size of your drawers!! That’s what I’m talking about!!

[@alxhrrs]

finally, a video that promotes simplicity! nice work man! and compliments on your english too!

[@salmacnjeri8742]

I am new to wood work, just got tired of buying everything I needed and that's how I ended up here. Really loved the whole idea as its exactly what I need at the moment. Please share any beginner's work too. Thank you

[@roniebuenaseda5910]

One day when i already had the tools that I'm gonna be needing I'm going to make that same bed frame with drawers. Simply beautiful and yet functional. Thanks for the video...

[@jimhabsfan]

A very good video with very clear explanations. Nicely done. Merci monsieur

[@denidougherty9576]

Antoine, I’m looking at different ideas for a similar bed for my adult dtr. I’m really glad I searched long enough to find your plan. As others have said it’s simple yet very functional and I was so happy to see someone who hasn’t perfected their craft, yet. I’m a 62 yr old Grama who’s been woodworking for 3 years now and I feel so frustrated when my hard work doesn’t end up perfect like the majority of people on here. I have yet to make something wo at least one mistake or misfitting joint(s). My family loves the stuff tho and also like several of your viewers said, that’s what matters. Thank you very much for sharing the video and plans! FOR FREE! Also unheard of! Keep going and you have one more subscriber!👍

[@aquirion]

Woah deni . That really warms my heart to hear that . Keep on building!

[@ElectricPulse100]

This is the best plan I’ve seen on KZbin for this type of bed. I’m getting the plans from your website. Thanks man!

[@aquirion]

Hey thanks! That means a lot !

[@michellevano8870]

This is EXCELLENT! This is exactly what I've been looking for. I'm so excited to try this out!

[@jimleishman785]

I like the method you used for fitting the drawer runner slides. Thanks.

[@watchitagain2]

Simple and long lasting bed with a lots of storage. Very nice

[@ramonhdz3226]

I appreciate the honesty and don't worry... We all make mistakes...great work man...!!!👍👍👍

[@ronin6932]

Yes, as some said that woodworking is 1/3 planning, 1/3 execution, and 1/3 figuring out how to change your plan to cover up that mistake you just made.

[@GPinaffiRodrigues]

Your video is quite inspiring I must say. Thank you for putting the effort into making the video and posting it. Cheers mate :)

[@debbushee6970]

first thank you for sharing your plans, and I like the live and learn process

[@evelynvictorymatheny9047]

very, very nice! I am gonna use your plans to make my bed. thanks for telling us the do's and do not's in your video. so awesome and thank you!

[@bigskyline]

Exactly what I have been looking for. Thank you for sharing.

[@johnmiller8646]

Thank you for the great ideas! I think I will try this build.

[@TrollCompany]

I love this, it´s not like using tons of different tools I don´t own, so I actually could built this on my own! Thanks!

[@gsm7983]

I've been looking at other ones. I like yours the best. Thank you for sharing. Now I need to ask my husband to copy yours. I like simple. May not look easy, but sure looks great, nice and simple.

[@aquirion]

Thanks ! Good luck . May i suggest asking you lumber center to pre cut everything according to the cut plans i provided like i did, save a lot of time !

[@katherinetribble7847]

Love this and looks so easy!

[@christofix]

Now this is an awsome video where you can learn from! great idea. I will follow you from now on because i'm interrested!

[@FinallyMe78]

You did a great job!

[@terracottaneemtree]

My apt is too small for drawers to pull out but I hope to make a Selby lift bed. Your instructions are very clear, helpful.

[@diannaa6189]

I like it. Good job man.

[@JoseGarcia-nz3fk]

Nice job, congratulations

[@jubjub256]

That's exactly the kind of storage bed frame I was looking for to copy. Thank you for the explaining video, I'll try to make one too!

[@aquirion]

Glad i could help ! Let me know how it turned out !

[@DENISEJACKSON88]

Thanks for this video, it's awesome! I am thinking of trying to build something like this but with a double layer of drawers.

[@alexisjqr]

This is the best plan that I have seen so far that actually fits my needs. Maybe if you could give a couple of ideas to make it prettier in the end just to keep them on notice. But for the rest is a really nice build, simple, sturdy for chubby people like me hehe. Awesome build.

[@aquirion]

Thanks man , really appreciate it !

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Nice job!!

[@edwardlawson965]

I Like To Make Stuff

[@RageQuitSon]

very nice guide. i'd suggest raised edges to hold the mattress a bit. also plywood is super expensive again so this bed would cost like $300 depending what kind of wood you use to face the drawers. I'm thinking on making drawers out of plastic totes and a nice facing wood just to cut the cost to mostly 1x4 framing and a few pieces of nice face board.

[@wunderrlost]

Great video, and plans! Thank you! For the drawer slides, what size did you use? Would 22" work? Many thanks!

[@itsmejoom]

you’re my type of woodworker... not pretty but does the job.

[@esbliss]

Good job

[@robertmorrison3140]

If you like the wood, can you just sand it down and use it like that? no stain ?

[@jeremykanhai3391]

Thanks bro I'm going to try thid

[@patricehamlinaustin8]

Hello, Do you have plans for a King size platform bed.

[@MezzoDodgy]

Can you tell me the plywood thickness please?

[@seank7413]

I am curious if the layout of your place I'd such that your bed is touching 2 walls can you make 3 bigger draws instead of the six smaller

[@rebecagomez8084]

Buenísimo!!! 😉👌

[@soosaisteven3984]

Simple and practical.... What's the ply thickness? 12mm?

[@aquirion]

soosai steven thanks ! I used 1/2 inch for the drawers so yeah 12mm. And for the bed frame itself it was 3/4" (19mm)

[@NaLovePHAT4Life]

THIS IS JUST WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. SOMETHING NOT COMPLICATED AND ALSO YOU ANSWERED MY QUESTION ON WHETHER YOU COULD GET A COMPANY TO CUT THE PIECES OF WOODS. THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW. ALSO HOW MUCH DID THE WOOD COST?

[@aglynn4531]

Salut Antoine, I bought all my materials and I have a few questions. What type and size of screws did you use. Plus, how long were the sliders for the draws did you use? Je parle Français, mais j’ecris tres mal.😊. Thank you. Merci.

[@domady96]

Nice

[@professor4517]

Great!!

[@MrLuvless]

how much in total was the wood?

[@hacktheropy1758]

That’s awesome!! But that stain job is horrible 😂gotta let it soak a little more before you wipe it

[@actionwatersportscolorado8231]

I’m working on this build right now. I already built the base and it turned out great. I’m about to go get the wood for the drawers and was curious why 6 of the drawer peices are 8 13/16” tall when the rest are 8 3/8”? It looks like they’re all the same height in the video and in the blueprint.

[@aquirion]

Hum probably a mistake. It's been few years since I built this . I don't really remember

[@actionwatersportscolorado8231]

@@aquirion Thanks I just wanted to make sure

[@denidougherty9576]

Action Watersports Colorado I just found this too and am going with making them all 8 3/8”. Glad I read your post. Thanks. Also I think the front should be 61” and not 59 1/2” to overlap the sides.

[@kaitlinfrank9312]

How much space did you leave between the drawer and it’s frame? Was it just the width of the sliders?

[@aquirion]

Yes

[@hechetonchieres]

Does the bed get moldy if there is no air flow underneath it? Most of the videos I see have people using spaced slats instead of "solid" plywood.

[@aquirion]

it's been 4 years, no problem.

[@hechetonchieres]

@@aquirion Good to know. Thanks for the reply :)

[@socrazy2010]

Is the sketch for this still available? I would love to try to make this bed!

[@aquirion]

I'm redoing all my website, it looks like the page was lost during the process, i've managed to re-put something quick . Recheck the link in the description of this video .

[@galloe]

Is it possible to just keep both sides unattached (no screws) and still maintain the integrity of the full bed? What I mean is, can you just have both boxes side-by-side for easier portability?

[@aquirion]

Probably, but honestly, it's only few screws , it's easy to remove them

[@galloe]

@@aquirion Yeah, I'm thinking of joining them with pocket screws, it shouldn't be a big deal either way.

[@henaken08]

Top, bien expliqué, quoi d'autre ?!

[@jessicalee8151]

Is this made to the size of a queensize bed?

[@aquirion]

Yes , made to fit a standard queen size mattress .

[@bekazurebiani8740]

what is the thickness of the plywood? (frame, drawers, outside)

[@aquirion]

everything is listed in the free plans on my website

[@ionelbanu4451]

Nice work! But your voice combined with that music i almost fell asleep 😂

[@barbkeen1221]

He does have a nice voice! 🙂 Great build!

[@i.g.nailscolor-street8223]

About how much did you spend on this project

[@aquirion]

Esmeralda Trejo hum I'd say about 500$ Canadian worth of material

Great video and nice work! I love woodworking too! Maybe you could swing by my channel sometime. Good luck!!

thanks ! Nice channel you got there. Subscribed !

Thanks! I subscribed back.👍🏽

[@anton.5]

from shit and sticks. But useful.

[@satanic_titanic]

да почему так не аккуратно? почему на отъебись всё? не шкурил, не снимал фаски и так далее

[@starrstewart7083]

You can learn more about it on woodprix website I think.

[@ivanxdxd]

Looks like trash

[@aquirion]

Thanks for the constructive comment ! What have you built lately ?

[@barbkeen1221]

Those who can't do, they will always cut others down for what the others can do! I used to get pissed when people like ivan would be basically a bully and be negative. Now, I just feel sorry for them because they must hate their life to spew their venom on to others!! I personally think that you did a great job and if it works for you,that's ALL that matters. And I love the background music!! 🙂❤️
