This is great. My wife and I have been discussing a drawer based platform for our king sized bed for a few months now. I can definitely use this. Thanks again Steve.

[@MarceloFreitas70]

Are you a woodworker or an engineer? Both, I guess. The bed looks beautiful and sturdy, plus a lots of storage. Thank you for another great video. Thanks to MicroJig, Casper and your Patreon sponsors for sponsoring the show.

[@Draiken23]

Hey Steve, Love your channel. I was able to use your plans and downloaded sketch up and converted it for a regular King size. And aside from a trip to the ER the bed has come together very well (lets just say I should have had a gripper), don't worry I didnt lose the fingure just some meat off it. I also adapted the plans to include 8 drawers instead of 6 as well.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Nice design! I like the danish oil you applyied looks nice in your bedroom! Thanks for sharing!

[@PuffsDragon]

I knew you were making a bed this week. You and your family love bright sunny colors. You did a nice job tucking the corners in when you made your bed. You have made your bed now lie in it.

[@MeaganMadSkyentist]

Thank You Steve! You make it look so easy! I'm dipping my toes into woodworking, I just finished making three ottomans to turn my regular couch into a sectional and full size guest bed. Watching your videos helps me gain confidence to try new projects!

[@danielhowell5117]

I knew you were going to make a bed this week. I like how it came out. For my money I'd still make the drawers at the head end of the bed and just store stuff in there that you don't pull out very often. Anyone that's been married for a while knows how many um.. "keepsakes" get collected and stored for "someday".

[@danegarcia8265]

I have been thinking of making a bed for our master bedroom and this week the stars aligned and I knew you were going to make a bed frame with excellent plans. Thanks Steve.

[@LizQuilty]

Love these larger furniture videos!

[@rhwoodshop]

The Spirits told me you would make a bed. Good thing I didn't call Ghostbusters. Takes me back to whenever I made my platform bed for sleep number mattress. The storage underneath the bed is a lifesaver sometimes. Great job!!!

[@muh1h1]

I knew you were going to make a bed this week!

[@Jb-Raja]

Steve you inspire me to finally start all the projects I've been putting off for one reason or another. Thanks

[@almostlaurel]

Oh my gosh, you won't believe me, but I KNEW you were going to make a bed this week!

Just made this bed... but king size so width was a bit different and it worked out beautifully.... best bed I ever owned

[@TheShavingWoodWorkshop]

Very nice Steve - I really like the design.

[@amandaknobbe4625]

I just knew you were going to build a bed this week! Kudos on the drawer test run. You sure have learned your lesson from the build a couple of weeks ago Lol.

[@rickwilke9399]

WHOA!! I was just telling the wife last night... I wonder if Steve is gonna do a bed this week... Lo and Behold!

[@haroldoyvos]

what a beautiful job Steve! Now I have to watch this video many many times to learn step by step the way you do it. I'm about to build a twin size bed frame with storage to one of my kids. Well, I'm not a carpenter but I work in construction and I know most of the tools you used in this project. Thanks!

[@LosBestauradores]

I have a question steve , your sponsored videos, monetize them with google adsense too? or disable the monetization for avoid a strike? i hope you can answer me.. greetings

[@nicholejones942]

My husband and I just made this bed this week using your free plans. 😊 it turned out so good!!

[@errinvolitis5870]

Nichole how much did the material cost you?

[@nicholejones942]

Errin Volitis well we already had about half the wood on hand from previous projects. Then we spent another 150$. (Including the 8 1x4 slats on top at the end)

[@bobsaleh433]

i knew you were going to make a bed this week.

[@ajleviere9626]

Scaled this model down to a toddler bed for my daughter. Instead of a faux drawer at the foot of the bed I added some white beadboard to contrast the baby blue color that she chose for paint ("It's ok to paint wood." - Steve Ramsey) Thanks for the inspiration and the easy to follow plans. Love the title of your production; if I had my own channel, it would have to be called "Bleep This Bleeping Project," b/c i get a little colorful when I make mistakes, and as a novice, I make plenty of them.

[@Defx10]

So weird, I opened a fortune cookie a few days ago and it said you were going to make a bed this week!

[@jasonbarker1126]

I knew you were going to build a bed this week! very nice bed steve you have inspired me, thanks

[@pipman10234]

i knew you would make a bed this week

[@jaredbrockwayable]

Every time I look for a project your name always seems to pop up. I love your videos man they're very well done.

[@moyperezwoodshop1722]

Great looking bed steve. By the way I knew you were going to make a bed this week ;)

[@HordeLightningrod]

I just knew that you would make another bed... Your getting easy to read!

[@HeavyboxesDIYMaster]

How did everyone know he was making a platform bed? I had some fortune cookies yesterday too, and it didn't tell me anything!

[@yiannisargyrides8125]

Dear Steve thank you for all this videos they are very helpful can show us more advance projects like kitchen chairs, bed room wardrobe,bed with big one piece head. Thanks a lot.

[@StuartSafford]

I shall tell my son to make his bed and provide the lumber for it. (He assembled the bed last time around and did quite well.) I am semi-joking. He is good with tools and this would be an excellent project. He actually did assemble the last bed with his own tools.

[@thomazneto58]

Hello Steve. Fantastic this bed and it doesn't seem hard to do. Congratulations and a big hug.

[@royandlorainenorthwood9971]

I knew you were going to make a bed this week...

[@cedricmael704]

you are awwwwwwesome!!

[@marceaton3128]

My daughter just asked me to build two bed frames for her step sons. If you don't mind I am going to use some of your ideas. Thanks for sharing Steve.

[@myreddays]

If you have a matress named Casper, won't it attract ghosts during the night?

[@marinaavener8194]

hahaha :P but yea... maybe

[@marinaavener8194]

hahaha :P but yea... maybe

[@AuznNjs]

It'll attract kasper

[@zelenplav1701]

haha. got one and I love it.

[@Superturf12]

[@keithorr1244]

Very cool! I need to make a new bed for my soon-to-be five year old daughter and this is great. Not a cali king though....

[@angelasheppard8477]

I am wondering if you the similar plans for a queen size bed?

[@swamperjmb]

angela sheppard Just scale it down. Measure the size of your mattress and make the platform around it :)

[@angelasheppard8477]

Yeah,didn't think of that.Guess I was looking for specific instruction/measurements.

[@tsuchang1]

You sure make it look easy Steve. Thanks for the videos.

[@ghosttown7761]

The Gods had given me a vision... in it, you made a bed! Thus, when the stars had aligned, I knew you would make a bed.

[@ghosttown7761]

Nah, im gonna go rob a bank.

[@Jebochannel]

Heh, bought new mattracess too before few days. Have my old with springs for maybe 16 years and finally decided for change, when I woke up one day with spring coming through foam and pricking to my left bottom... :) The change is great, especially for my lower back as you said. Bed frame is really cool, maybe try one day too!

[@AleVit9]

I think you should tell us how much the project will cost. Only considering the wood and not the tools of course.

[@AleVit9]

Great! Do you buy the wood at home depot? 'cause it's kinda expensive there..

[@AleVit9]

***** Yeah.. that's a pain in the .... And I just remembered your story about your workbench top!

[@TheHomelessNinja]

+Steve Ramsey 200$ not bad at all. for a nice ass bed frame that would probably cost 400$+ in a store. And I do believe those pocket screws will stand the weight of any thing ever. I know Matthias would agree. Awesome video/project as always!

[@m3rdpwr]

+Skizzo9 Even their select and semi-select lumber is expensive and you still have to dig through it to find anything half decent.

[@beardedbiker1274]

the price depends on where you live, and the store you buy from. exampl, at lowes maybe around 50-60 dollars for wood, in germany the wood costs me over 120 euro (140 dollars).

[@jeremyd6775]

I love that a video sponsored by Casper opened with a purple ad for me

[@marceaton3128]

Just ordered my king size mattress and got my $50.00 dollars off. Thanks Steve.

[@markw3598]

+Marc Eaton Please let us know how you like it!! We tried the sleep number bed, and it sucked, we sent it back. SO hard to find a great mattress when you get older.

[@marceaton3128]

Love it, I had a disc removed in 2012 and finding a good mattress has been an ordeal. This mattress is wonderful. I can wake up and my back feels great. You can't beat the price or the product. I am not getting paid for this, just letting you know it is a good product.

[@meltingpoint97]

Again awesome using the sponsers for a video idea they seems to inspire you to make something great

[@ShannonFargo]

So I says to my buddy, I says "Hey, I betchu lunch on Monday dat Ramsey fella makes a bed today." He says to me, he says "Dat's crazy! How do you know what he's gonna build." I says "I got one of dem prema-notions." But he don't listen too good and now I gets me a lunch on Monday. How 'bout dat? Who'da thunk it?

[@edwardholmes91]

Hi Steve, I love it! It always amazes me, all of the ideas that you come up with and the presentation is awesome, not to mention the simple but elegant designs that encourage people to try woodworking!

[@Frostbain]

I'm convinced you have some sort of mind control ability, what with making all of us have a feeling you'd be putting a bed together this week!

[@slpk]

Why do you always pet your cat the same way? It's weird.

[@thoperSought]

***** maybe that's what she demands?

[@SE45CX]

***** Yeah, you should caress just the cats head and neck.

[@carlosthompsonlenz]

She owns the house. Steve just make videos at the place. ;)

[@ET-yr6st]

Great job Steve, I looking forward to building mine . I am going to adjust the measurements to make a full size frame for my motorhome

[@bluekeeling]

Downsized your plan from a king to a queen ...Thanks for the inspiration!

[@StewartLMcGill]

I knew you were going to make a bed this week! Casper the friendly mattress. Nice job.

[@mtsmith09]

I've been eagerly waiting for this video. I want to build something similar for when I go back to school in the fall.

[@richtearanger93]

I have been binge watching your videos for about a week now, absolutely LOVE them...

[@VovoVivi]

The way you explain and do things seems so easy to be done. I belong to a group of wood work hobby. (I'm from Brazil)

[@jaymccrary2440]

I knew you were making a bed this week! And it just so happens we've been talking about getting a new mattress very soon. Perfect timing. I'll definitely be checking out Casper

[@rossmartin8272]

Couldn't help but notice the Scotland sticker on the back of your truck! My homeland!

[@matthewbain4954]

This is such a cool bed idea. You demonstrated very well how to build this bed. Great job, the bed looks awesome! I will continue to follow, share and enjoy your videos from down here in Australia.

[@henk6172]

For some reason I knew this video was coming, and it was as good as I expected it to be!

[@walterg1526]

Hello from Japan Steve!!!! I love your work keep it up. My wife and I have been watching your videos for about a year now and this summer after 6 long years we are finally returning to the United States and I'll be dusting off my tools out of military storage and if you don't mind i'll get to work on reproducing some of your projects in my garage. Oh and I know you where making a bed this week. LOL

[@Anto-kz5hk]

So nice. Just inspired me to build a bed for the guest room. Thanks

[@charleyandsarah]

The platform looks great and that quilt is really pretty, too.

[@ryansshower]

That's a pretty fantastical bed Steve

[@ZacJones]

I'm liking the storage you incorporated! looks great! And I'm sure its a lot cheaper than buying one!

[@oldbaldfatman2766]

Thanks for the video as I never thought of using spacers to make sure you got the same spacing each time.

[@rustykelly2004]

loving the saltire on the bumper of your truck! Greetings from the homeland!

[@bestbuildpc]

U are a genius! Amazing job! Thanks for sharing your tricks

[@ianpym3953]

I knew you were going to make a bed this week, its like a dream come true

[@emintivo]

Great vid Steve. As soon as I've got my pergola up, I might make my son a king single bed like this. Great channel, keep up the good work.

[@Danman1972]

I totally new that you were going to make that! Good work on the bed, your builds are great. A suggestion for anyone building the bed might be a rail in the center for the slates to rest on and make them half the length so you don't have to take them off when dissembling the bed would be cool. Not really a huge deal. Moving is a pain anyway. I have a similar bed that we bought from IKEA. Put it together and made the statement " I hope that we are moving any time soon because I don't want to take this thing apart". We ended up moving 6 months later..... A bed frame that just broke in half with a few screws would have been a good thing!

[@dorianfulton7168]

Great idea.

[@jimn4185]

Dude as usual you seriously ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for the plans.

[@ScottayH29]

Steve makes some of the best woodworking tutorial videos out there! Love the videos, Steve!

[@audiotechlabs4650]

This reminds me of the water bed frames from the 70's. Your project is about a 1000 times stronger! Do the mattresses come in firm? Thankz

[@romandecaesar4782]

Thank you so much for recommending Casper!!! What a great product!!!

[@JonnyDIY]

You make it look too easy Steve! 💕👍

[@geoffbeck3598]

I just knew you were going to make a bed with storage space!! Nice job too

[@JedTreeman]

I like the danish oil on this one, Steve, even though I knew you were making a bed this week.

[@richardhiller7597]

I and so many others just knew you would make a bed this week.

[@douglong9302]

Hey Steve, Somehow I just knew a bed platform is what you were going to make. Nice work!

[@g.work.specials6859]

Already waiting for the plans! I love this bed. Steve you seem to show me how I should do all my to do projects this summer!

[@tlbelknap]

I had a vision you were going to build a platform bed this week. I Had a tough time sleeping after that.

[@3DMachines]

Great build! I have the same ear muffs.

[@kennethkish9055]

Hi Steve, I never watch youtube commercialism.However your Smarthing ad was just great.

[@jasonmiller6889]

I didn't know you were making a bed this week! Great project. Thank you for sharing.

[@Eye0fTheSt0rm23]

Hey Steve, I love your work. I've probably learnt more from watching you than I did from a 2 year certificate at school, amazing. I was wondering if you could show us how to build a really nice guitar rack?

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Been Putting off Austin's Bed for to long, I got to get on it, Nice design Steve, Thanks for sharing

[@marinaavener8194]

so skilled! wish I could do this. great result by the way, especially like the drawers

[@johngriscti9291]

I knew that they knew that you were going to make a bed this week. 😁. Great project Steve, I really like the Danish Oil finish

[@dorianfulton7168]

Adding UHMW tape to the fronts of the runners and the back tops of the drawers would make that excellent design even better.

[@MrRheron]

I prayed that you would make a bed this week. Bless you.

[@rayheinrich1504]

you all ways make it look so easy

[@joepraijmakers1997]

I knew you were gonna make this one! Ps love this channel i am new on the woodworking part and (17years old) And i rwally like seeing all the vids i think i have seen all of your vids keep on the good work!

[@dawsie]

Talk about timing :-) I have been just talking to my Dad as we both work together on our woodworking projects that are large :-) like our own workshop which we are building together one each :-) different hobbies :-) but your video was great as we have been talking about making new beds for the bedrooms but we both wanted extra storage and this bed ticks all the boxes :-) it's nice and simple but a beauty at the same time and the plus side to it is that I can use my existing bed fittings for the head and foot but will be adding some posts at each corner as I have always dreamed of a 4 poster bed :-) Thanks for sharing and the great ideas :-) I love watching your videos, there is always a new trick that I can learn and I just love learning something new all the time :-)

[@mrfields5543]

Steve, Great video, enjoyed it lots.Thanks for the free plans.

[@mechabailey689]

I love this bed, I think I'll have one built...great job!

[@jimjohnson5787]

I knew you were going to make a bed this week! Nailed it!

[@kurisu7885]

I've been wanting a bed like this one with a shelves headboard for a long time, I had no idea building one was fairly simple, and I can just halve the design for a twin.

[@BryanArthurKlein]

Wow! I had no idea you were going to make a bed!

[@howardharris8]

thanks for showing how to make it I think I will make one myself.

[@glk35dvc]

I can' believe it. I just knew you were going to make a bed.

[@MrTridac]

A bed, wow. You always manage to surprise me.
