[@lorenzopiazza9083]

the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. kzbin.infoUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

"for love making". 🤣🤣🤣

i about died when he said that all nonchalant lmao

[@donavanmcelroy6263]

I’m glad he clarified what mattresses are made for… ☺️

"Courage and Sweat" Has helped us build, a kitchen table and a coffee table!! Now the list has grown so much. Thank you Mr. Build It for giving us the Courage to try it and sweat(Summer time builds ya'll!!)

[@WoodnessGoodness]

Dude. Love the cameraman upgrade!

[@eddy7368]

You had me at no table saw! Lol

[@SejePetter]

Hey Mr. B. I'm digging the new cameraperson, but the edit seems a bit weird. Cuts in the middle of sentences and no sound bridge to tie the fast forwarding clip together. Other than that, the new style really suits the channel. Keep it up!

[@peggywest8371]

So beautiful. Wow ❤❤❤❤❤

[@jonschemmel1667]

I'm loving these beginner build videos you're pumping out, keep em coming!

[@jamesheid4660]

Great build! After building and moving several beds, I wouldn't recommend pocket hole joints for the struts connecting the head and footboards, since there are stronger options which allow better for taking apart and reassembling. There is a gravity and friction toungue/groove metal plate which is perfect. $20 for a heavy duty set of 4.

[@alyssamitchell-collins9183]

Could you please show a link for what you are referring to? 😊

[@jamesheid4660]

@@alyssamitchell-collins9183 It is a gravity and friction fitting. Way stronger than pocket holes or other simple toungue and groove fittings. Not movement, no squeking, easy take down and setup.

[@rchavez5056]

I'm concerned love making will rip those kreg screws out, that join the rails to the headboard and footboard.

[@hamSAH713]

I think he could've used bolt on brackets; cut a 12 in 2x4 and screw it down to the 2x12, and then used bolt on brackets between the headboard and the 2x12 beams and suspend them on each side.

[@nataschas.6560]

Hello. You make good things, I like it very. The bed is really cool.

[@jaredsangiorgi6444]

Really enjoying your content over and over. It may not be your forte, but any suggestions on how to build it so that it can be broken down for moving (military moving every 3-4 years) THANKS!

[@chrisalvarez6507]

Make a floating bed frame next !!!!

[@ryancavin27]

New camera work wow nice

[@vitalijudin2920]

Nice cameraman upgrade. Thanks for detailed tips for beginners - very helpful. I’m always struggling with getting professional finish with paint/coat. Started using HVLP which seems to be giving much better results than brush/roll, but sometimes gives thick smudges on the corners - just need practicing. What are you using for clear coat? I’ve been trying to use Poly, but it seems to be too thin and either blows away or collects into huge puddles. Thanks and keep rocking it!

[@theroar7148]

Excellent. Adaptable range from a Manhattan penthouse to log home in the woods.

[@azwanarifdinabdulwahid5432]

ure great at ur works

[@LTM-xv3ks]

Beautiful! Thank you for always mentioning the color of the stain and the wood that you use.

[@joseroque1891]

Can you do a video about a starter kit to have as a beginner builder, in terms of which tools to have as a beginner? Love what you do! Thanks for sharing.

[@agonboyboy8222]

Ok bro, you´re just showing off at this point. Looks amazing!

[@danielaanderson5184]

Does he mention anywhere on the video what the measurement of the plywood for the footboard is?

[@carolinagonzalez8733]

I love how the bed turned out, just as a comment, I would have prefer to see the corner in angle instead, but it is beautiful.

[@michaelvillalobos5570]

Yea I was wondering why he didn't miter the corners on the head and foot board - it gives it the feeling of a nice suit with no tie.

[@codyduneman4756]

the editing is really awesome!!

Keep em comin big daddy gotta build bed stuff for the family next month

[@DanielBarbarics]

Great job man! Also thank you for including the price of the materials! It helps a lot.

[@conordawson2649]

Love these videos dude!!

[@jacobdavis6615]

I wish there were new videos every day!

[@yousufkothawala270]

the build was great but , i think if you want this to be a build everyone can do you should explain the size and specs of all the pieces and how you built it like how long how wide what lumber to put wear. think if you have a 3d model sketched and explain the specs for everything in the intro that would be helpful to all the diy'ers out there

[@krista3686]

Very nice!!

[@richrich3384]

I'm making a waterbed this week. Well the frame stand and. Headboard

[@DrSarge37]

Not for sleeping, but for love making 😅 I love it

The bed looks great

You should build a dresser next

[@khalidhabbat689]

Thanks for the information and field experience you made on your channel

[@anthonyfreeman5858]

Nice looking bed frame. Good job & simple to build. Anthony

[@alpapanda2988]

Love the videos, been learning alot from them as well. If possible can you do a tutorial on how to make a computer desk with drawers.

[@scoobydoo7346]

Wow! love the way the wood came out!

[@robertoalvillar]

It is nuts how much you can save by building your bed frame, we built a $900 king sized bed frame for $250ish worth of materials, plus it gave me the sense of accomplishment and bonding time with my wife. Might have to build this chevron bed for one of my kids

[@greggnelson8382]

This bed looks amazing! Great job

[@Thistledew2]

CourageandSweat it’s that love making craft!

[@theshindogg]

nice KTM!

[@serenityprojects7364]

So absolutely awesome!!!!! Thank you so much. I would love to make this for my parents.

[@Snaggletooth44]

Finally good video to watch after a long day! ^_^

[@kristamarie6104]

Do you think you could post an article or something with a cut list please?

[@arayawoodworks]

Nice design. I love it, simple and classy

[@nathanielmorris4455]

The rails and stiles on the headboard vs footboard are opposite....was that the point? Either way, it looks good. I built my headboard and footboard to look like barn doors with 6x6 legs..almost the same build steps as yours. Awesome

[@OOOHBILLY]

That bed slaps

[@DanteVelasquez]

NICE!

[@miabradford4017]

Omg this is amazing and looks so simple to do! Thank you for this! You did an amazing job!

[@DimONMINIpeople]

Выглядит прекрасно!!)))

[@benhowe8020]

Thanks for providing such great content!!!

[@Corvin1991]

Hey Alex! It would be super interesting to me what kind of protection youre using on your watch, and also what band you find the most durable since you always keep it on while working. I hope you read this, thanks a lot!

[@theleveretts4179]

ALSO and more importantly, when are we getting a tour of that boom stick box there in the garage?... I've been thinking about doing a hand gun rack and/or redo some of the shelving as mine could use some mods... could be fun wrapping it in some interesting carpet/fabric...

[@gerardopaz7244]

dude your designs are amazing greetings from Mexico

[@elainehoward8822]

The bed dose look amazing, but I have found that once the wood adjusts to your room temperature, them boards gonna be making some serious noise when you move in that bed. You may consider getting a big fur rug, cause your gonna be having quite time on the floor......🎅🏻☃️🎄🎅🏻☃️🎄🎅🏻☃️🎄

[@sirdiegobernal]

I can see myself doing this!

[@gregwhite520]

Looks awesome.

You got yourself a camera operator! :D

Want to thank you for this video I just finished making the bed that u just made in this video and came out great wife is really happy now she wants me to do remodeling the rooms 🤦‍♂️

Hahaha oh no! Good job man!

[@1976dznuts]

Great build!

[@crazymk6]

Great video! Did you use a conditioner on the wood prior to staining? Thanks!

Man he makes faces more than anyone i know! loving it! :D:D

[@robertblitch4702]

I like the bed, out of curiosity why didn't you put a foot in the center of the middle support board for even more support

[@samothlleb9747]

for love making ?

[@kent6035]

Looks dope man

[@Joe.LeBeau]

Haha i would make quick work of that center support!!! I would have to beef that up! great build!!

Do you have the plans for this bed? I'd like to build one for myself

[@FatPickle4]

what did you use for your clear coat in your paint sprayer? love the stain pattern by the way... turned out awesome

[@jacobdecker7632]

Do you have plans for this bed available?

[@romaintrevisiol9159]

Who's filming? You got rid of your tripod? Thanks for this series, I think it's gonna motivate to try. I'll probably wait for the wood price to go back down though.

[@RonD1217]

Sooo dope great job

[@j0su3]

[@AM-fx7ge]

How did you attach that xtra 12 inch plywood I’m confused haha that 2x4 on the backside put it in between plus glue or?

[@jdjoyner09]

You are the goat great videos bud

[@kemiost55]

Loving the new direction of the channel, it’s more personal, and simple to me. Hey the 2x4 for the edge what do you think about something like a 45 cut to join them?

[@jeanethortiz2383]

All that great work and didn't use bed rail brackets.

[@joshdickson2093]

also saw a glance of your old stone walkway, just an idea you could do a video on updating that

[@thatoutdoorguy82]

"courage and sweat" awesome bed.

[@RSteel517]

Do you have plans for any of this? I might be building this soon

[@RenatoHideki]

Alex, I loved your bed and I am trying to reproduce it! I am having issues with the chevron pattern, cause the boards are spacing between one another... maybe not cut perfectly straight?

[@RenatoHideki]

did you have this issue? and how would you fix it? My 18gauge nails are not holding them together

[@BIGSTUD89]

@@RenatoHideki I just built this bed. I went with 6ft pickets for a fence because it was cheaper and i'm on a budget. My 45 angle was not perfect because all I had was a rotary saw so I installed trim pieces down the middle and border to hide the brad nails and the imperfect angles the made the middle of the design. It kind of dressed it up and i'm happy with it.

[@RenatoHideki]

@@BIGSTUD89 thanks for replying! I figured out what was the issue! the very first one I used was the worst one in terms of straightness, given the other ones went smoothly! I bought a cheap miter saw just to do this job, but ends up is a decent one for the price, from Metabo (Hitachi Power Tools). Question, these lumber for fences arent suppose to be outside only due to the chemicals treatements they do for the wood to be outside?

[@madisonjarboe6636]

Incredible!!!

[@afcamvet]

Let me first start off by saying, love your videos brother. I just subscribed to your channel. Please do not take this as @you. I just recently retired from the Air Force and noticed that our Nations Flag is on the wrong side. POW/MIA should be to the right of the ensign. Please keep up the great work.

[@NITSUD89]

You mean to tell me you actually picked up wood NOT IN THE RAIN!!!! Been watching your videos from the beginning and you have progressed in front of the camera so much. Keep up the good work!!
