How To Make A DIY Modern Platform Bed | Shape And Explore

[@YuraKvadrat132]

Things made with their own hands are much more pleasant than factory ones. Great job. I like it.

[@ShapeAndExplore]

kvadrat132 Thank you! I agree, making an object or furniture piece that you can use everyday is extremely satisfying!

[@YuraKvadrat132]

As they say in my homeland. Things made by the hands of the master are made with a soul and are full of the warmth of his hands.

[@ShapeAndExplore]

kvadrat132 That's an awesome saying! I definitely do not consider myself a master, but I hope my pieces still have some warmth and soul in them haha.

Love the bed. Do you have plans and hardware specs?

[@daralen1]

Fantastic, thank you

[@Silmerano]

I'm currently looking at designs preparing for my own build. I quite like yours minus the headboard.

[@ShapeAndExplore]

Wade Wilson Great to hear that you're getting ready for your own build! Haha the low-slung design isn't for everyone, but you can always draw inspiration from several sources and combine the design elects to make something new!

[@mr.woldwide]

Nice..... Bed make bro.. 😎😎

[@yaffayaffaful]

Hi, I like the bed very nice... Would it be possible to put feet on the bed, would that be structurally sound. If so how many feet would be needed. Cheers

Bro thank you. I will be building this

[@ShapeAndExplore]

Moises Aguirre That's so awesome to hear! Good luck with the build, I'd love to see how it goes!

[@EverGone03]

does it weaken the screw holes when he removed for sanding/staining then screw it back together?

[@ahopkins1978]

Looks good

This is great. I’ve been watching many bed videos. I think this is the one I’ll build. What was the rough material cost?

[@mrfidodido3812]

Subscribe because your great job and detail information Mr Ryan, can you tell me tool that you use at 1:06, tq

[@Eager2BFit]

2:27 into the video...How many inches below the rail line did you nail the 2X4's into the side rails?

[@ronnylopez8399]

Great job! To hold the headboard are two pieces of 2x4?

[@ShapeAndExplore]

Ronny López Thank you! And that’s right, just some 2x4s, that way you can customize the headboard height to suit your needs.

[@ronnylopez8399]

@@ShapeAndExplore yes thanks I get it. I have 1x4s and I was thinking to use them to hold my headboard which is 1x18.. :-o

nice I like it.

[@ShapeAndExplore]

Thank you!

[@friksmith1]

Love it. But can i add height to it ?

[@ShapeAndExplore]

frik smith Thanks, this bed was designed specifically with proportions that emphasize the horizontal plane, creating a low / wide piece. If you're looking for a taller bed I would suggest choosing another design.

[@PatiencesMom]

I'm putting a farmhouse headboard on it. How to send pics?

[@ShapeAndExplore]

Rhonda Bernard That’s awesome, I’d love to see your build! You can send pics to [e-mail] 👌

Caroline Sierra Thanks Caro! Haha I'm coming for them.

[@lifewithjesse_la]

What size pocket hole screws should I use for this?

[@frozen_tortus]

I wonder what type of wood is this using?

[@StreetKingz4Life]

Nice build brother,tell me i noticed you used pocket holes screws for the corners assembly .......does the bed wobble or rock around or any creeks?

[@ShapeAndExplore]

Nature King Thank you! Yes I used pocket hole screws and wood glue for most of the joints, and I haven't experienced any warping or creaking in the joints.

[@StreetKingz4Life]

great! thank you again..............

[@denisp173]

How are you going to remove the dust from under the bed?

[@willperdomo4763]

How can I get all the list of measurements and materials needed for a king size bet

[@lileo9534]

B R A V O .!!!!!!

[@ShapeAndExplore]

Admin Admin Thank you!

[@moiram3038]

Why do you choose not to over tighten the bolts? Is there a reason for it having to do with the frame being from softwood? Asking because I just made a bed frame my self.

[@ShapeAndExplore]

Moises Ramirez Yes, that's exactly why! I found that because I was using a softer wood the washer would just keep pressing into the wood if I tightened the nut too much. I also wanted to leave some room for the wood to expand / contract in different seasons. Hope this helps with your bed build!

[@moiram3038]

@@ShapeAndExplore thank you so much!

[@PatiencesMom]

I have pics of our bed build. How to send?

[@ShapeAndExplore]

Сарид Джахангир Thank you!

[@JustinPreher]

Is there somewhere that I can purchase the step by step instructions from you? I know a few DIY guys on KZbin have places you can go for something like that. Wasn’t sure if you had anything or not

[@ShapeAndExplore]

Unfortunately right now I don't have any plans or step by step instructions available for my projects, but that's something I would like to include in the future! I am working on building a website, and will definitely look at including plans for each project once that is up and running.

[@hilals9090]

Nice.. Is it soft wood.. What kind of wood you use for this project.

[@ShapeAndExplore]

Hilal S Yes, I used soft wood for this project. I purchased the wood at my local Home Depot, and it is hard to tell the exact species sometimes, but it is most likely Douglas Fir.

[@hilals9090]

Shape And Explore Thanks for your reply. Actually I like your way.. With this project.

[@kelsandraeden8931]

hi sir, I'm also planning to make my own bed when i go back to mycm country.. Can you please tell me what kind of wood you've been using in this project? thank you!

[@ShapeAndExplore]

Nil and Eden I used dimensional lumber from my local Home Depot. Sometimes it's hard to tell exactly what species they stock, but I'm pretty sure I used Douglas Fir for this bed.

[@wilhelmtaylor9863]

It may not be elegant but it's crude.

[@makecurt]

yes.

[@dikshantkamble72]

How much it cost you??

[@ShapeAndExplore]

DIKSHANT KAMBLE the total cost of materials for this bed frame was approximately $200 CAD.

[@T4Cification]

@@ShapeAndExplore you could buy one for 150

[@kraziiegurlxz]

How can I accomodate the measurements for a queensized bed?

[@ShapeAndExplore]

kraziiegurlxz I built this for a Full mattress (54" x 75"). To use this design on a Queen mattress (60" x 80") you could increase the length of the major components. I also added an extra 1.5" around the perimeter of the mattress to give room for bulky sheets.

[@noukhollands]

What did you spend?

[@ShapeAndExplore]

just_a_Human I spent about $150 CAD on materials for this project

[@المستقبلالمستقبل-ي1ق]

رائع

[@PatiencesMom]

Has anyone else made this bed I can see pics of. I'm having this bad built soon with queen measurements. I will post pics after.

Pienso que no es para todos. Si, es bonita y elegante. Pero yo ya me hubiera roto la tibia y el peroné 15 veces XD
