Murphy Bed with Cheap $20 Hardware

[@BaronEurchild]

I plan to buy your plans for one very specific reason. I loved hearing your kid in the background. You didn’t kick him out. He was a part of the experience. Good dad, good plans.

[@PCHPatti]

Loved seeing your pint-size helper using the vacuum while dad drilled holes in the side boards. Teach 'em early and they'll have good work habits for a lifetime. And wonderful memories of helping daddy.

[@michaelisaacs7380]

Bought your full size plans about a month ago. Built the bed in a low ceiling spot, with an angled hip wall, and had to convert it to a horizontal build. Had to build unit in place, as bed box and cabinetry would not have rounded the corner up the stairs and into the room built in the attic. Added a bookshelf to the top in the remaining space. Came out pretty good. Had to use it this week for company, and it wasn't entirely finished. Finished trim work tonight, and will prep and stain in the next few days. Thanks for getting me started!

[@waterbugism]

I have to do a horizontal build. show pictures. I would love to see the bed.

[@DIYTyler]

I now offer plans for a full size bed, horizontal.

[@fran38tom]

I want to thank Tyler for answering my question about the depth of outer frame .I built this bed using thong and groove 1x5 knotty pine. This was much cheaper than using plywood because of the pandemic raising the prices of big box lumber. It came out just great a little heavy for folding . I also added 3 in. to the outer shell as suggested by Peter Lowe because my mattress is 17 in. thick I also added a extra 5 in to the top of bed box. When we first folded it shut the open the mattress stuck nothing a strap did not fix you just have to take strap off before sleeping. It only took me a week to build thanks to the great plans and some helpful hints. Also my wife helped and her help was greatly appreciated!

[@garyhope2]

Very good and smart of you to have an expert helper there, your son, vacuuming up the sawdust. Nothing better than teaching the young how to do things. I learned a lot from my dad by helping him and him teaching me. Thanks.

[@pebblesthecat3625]

I always wanted one of these beds in the spare room as space is tight but couldn't afford one. You've inspired me to make one - I just have to convince the husband to go away to spend a long weekend at his brothers and it will be a nice suprise when he comes back ! Thanks for a great video.

I am so impressed with your young assistant: he will ask for a bigger paycheck at the end of this project! I look at him and remembered my son when he was his age. Now he is graduating from engineering at Penn State U. Thanks for this awesome video. A real inspiration for many.

[@johnbrown4706]

I am about to build a Murphy Bed for my Travel Trailor. The main difference is that mine will be a horizontal build. Thank you for the incredibly informative video. You made the project feel accessible and manageable for people with little to no experience. I am pleased that there are more affordable hardware options like this one.

[@Lee-San247]

Thank you for making this video. I just discovered your channel today and wish I would have a long time ago. I have plans to make one of these beds in the near future and this is very easy to follow. I really like that you have your little boy help in the shop. That is incredibly important not only for learning but for bonding as well. My little boy is going to college next year so I'm already getting nostalgic for the early days. Tech Tip: You mentioned that you had a tough time holding the large frame with various clamps etc. What I have done in the past is get a ratchet strap or put 2 together to get the desired length. Wrap it all the way around the frame and gently ratchet it together. It will hold even pressure around the entire frame and give you the rigidity you need to adjust your joints and shoot in the screws.

[@amypolzella8349]

Great tip I will use next week!

[@JonDeth]

Well planned bedframe. The Lazy Susan bearings are such a cheap and easy option with many being rated for a couple hundred pounds. *Your push stick though, oh boy no wonder you were uncomfortable. I built a sword style with a handguard in the center and then at the very end to accommodate my safety needs. It's been great for everything and awkward pieces I can still easily grapple with it from whichever side, and use a scrap stick for the other.* 28 years ago, a massive piece of plywood yanked my hand into the blade. I lost an index finger tip that completely grew back, and the ring finger pad was totally blown open but the doctor flopped the pieces in, put in a few "Dr. Frankenstein" looking stitches, and it healed really well. *I did not touch a table saw for another 13 years!* I was and am an ultra elite level guitarist and that happened to my left hand, *the string hand!*

[@tastx3142]

I built a wall of various depth of shelves 30 years ago using 3/4” birch plywood and discovered the iron on veneer tape and it has held up well. I used Minwax Antique Oil Finish without a stain but it gave the wood a deeper look with a soft sheen and it has held up well despite having plastic bins of fabric and other items sliding across them without not having to be retouched. The tape on the edge made the shelves appear solid and was so easy to apply. We had recently moved in at the time and I wanted something that could quickly be completed without the typical multiple steps for traditional finish. I remarried 6 years ago and my husband who has become interested in woodworking had never heard of the veneer tape. They did have the typical glue on variety back then but I had more than 40 feet of shelving. We have talked about a Murphy bed in one of the bedrooms which drew me towards your video. Very nicely done!

[@samanthabraun217]

This is beautiful work... and your little man watching and helping is even more wonderful. To those doing this and using the bolts... I have an existing murphy I use daily, and this is how I anchor mine too (bought the bed used and original top clip was shot). I'm looking at making one for a sunroom as a summer bedroom and this is perfect! Thanks!

[@olemo703]

I have watched this video several times and I never get tired of watching it, someday I will do it, it makes it look so easy I don't have your knowledge to know the exact measurements, when I am going to do it I will go in and look for the Necessary measures, thanks for sharing this video

I wish you had a how to video for literally everything. You explain everything so well, have good camera angles on key parts of the project, and you have a way of stopping talking to let us digest whatever step you just described with such great pacing.

[@guyh.4553]

Very smart build. Like how you use the shelves as a bed base. 2 suggestions. 1st, for your your corner attachment. Get some of those inexpensive 90° clamps that are about 1 1/2" wide. 2nd, in the video you should have mentioned what you used for the swivel. I'm going to mention that those are $10 boat swivel seat bases. I have them on my boat. It takes a bit to swivel around which makes it a great use for something like this. GREAT JOB!

[@noulee2215]

Love to watch how your son was a little handy around. Look like he really enjoy working alongside with you. How lovely.

[@stoicissistisizedstoicassi812]

You have an adorable mini me. So thank you for making this. Your instructions were easy to follow with your helpful tips. And was a fun project to do with my own mini me version. Actually my son is not so much a mini me anymore, and more of a much larger grown out version mini me. We both enjoyed doing this project together. And thank you again for making this presentation! Sincerely best regards from Rob and Seth, Seattle Washington.

[@lauralake3209]

Its inspiring to see a skilled carpenter with access to a full shop build. But it's really out of reach for people who live in so little space that they NEED a wall bed. Have you considered doing some videos using the bare minimum power tools? Maybe working in the driveway or on the balcony? It could be even more inspiring to see how to build some of these great projects under minimalist conditions! Thanks for the video

[@DIYTyler]

I have. Reasons I don't= the videos never perform well and I don't enjoy building like that.

[@Coltyyyyyyyy]

Nice little project. Very impressed that you had a rookie helping you along the way. I don't have anywhere the tools at my disposal that you have. I was hoping that you could come up with another design for people with little tools.

[@DIYTyler]

Good luck! Thanks for the sub!

[@richardsrandomadventures]

you could probably just drill 4 holes through each mounting plate and screw them in, no need for bolts. 8 screws can hold a lot of combined weight. I've seen other people add in gas struts for car boots and other mechanisms to offset the bed weight. Looks like an easy enough addition to your project. Great job.

[@ode2george]

Fantastic project, Tyler! You explained everything very well, and the wood finish looks quite elegant. Plus, I love that glue squeeze-out straw trick!

[@sean8900]

I wish you would explan how you calculated the location of the swivel on the wood to allow it to align with front frame and miss the back wood?

[@mumpygumboo8554]

Beautiful project! Love it. If I build this, I might add some kind of breathable mess underneath the mattress. Here, in the Pacific Northwest, it is very humid, not like living in an RV but sometimes, during a really rainy springtime, it can be close.

[@adrianovergara2942]

That liitle kid of yours will outsmart you when he grows if he's always helping around when you build something. Nice build

[@mdrobnson3912]

Have to say That stain job looks fantastic. IMO gives it an aged look although it's brand new. Here's a secret from the upholstery world on those swivel brackets. Flip over a swivel recliner and you'll see, in that pizza board, as they're called, there's two holes large enough to grant access to the inside holes. Measure out a piece large enough for it to attach to and swivel without coming off the edge. Attach it to the swivel plate. Swivel 45 degrees and cut circles over the bottom set of holes. Now you have a way to get to those bottom holes without too much difficulty. You attach those first, two at a time, swivel to the next two and attach those. You would then attach the swivel board to the mattress side rail with heavy gauge screws from the inside. You would have to figure out how to hide that board but beefing up the side rails for the mattress could do that and it will create extra strength. I like and dislike the shelf idea. Anytime you let the bed down, you've gotta empty those shelves. But, it looks great and these beds aren't in constant use. Great build young man! Good to see dad getting the kids into something other than electronics.

[@celticwoodworking8706]

The only issue with pre-tinted finish, is that it lacks the depth that a hand rubbed stain gives you. That said, many years ago when I was working in production cabinet shops, tinted lacquer was the common method of finish. Your project not only looks good, but nice to see an inexpensive option for Murphy beds. Keep up the great work.

[@KNARF1]

Great design, Mr. T...I have it built and recycled some old old cedar sub-flooring for the wall/underside when in the parked position. Each board is stained a different shade....14 in all Just figuring out the floating shelf/base system. I also found the Swivel Seat bases at WALMART FOR about 8 bucks each. BTW I used Valspar Cabinet and Furniture Oil enriched water clean paint. Lowes has it for around $53 a gallon but worth the hassle. I spilled some on the carpet...cleaned up nicely.

Great job- if you have a child, the legs / shelves are inviting for little ones to climb so I would make extra sure the pins cannot vibrate out or use a different system (just a thought- having raised 3 kids).

[@aleki30]

I love that your kid is behaving well and doing his own project. I clicked on this video to make my own but changed my mind once you showed your workshop lol

[@jea3511]

I work at one of the largest paint and coatings retailers, and we never recommend you mix your finish with stain. The majority of finishes aren't made for it, and you run the risk of issues down the road. Now for most projects you're making for yourself, this is really fine. You know what your getting, so no big deal. I wouldn't do that for a customers project, or anything your wanting to sell however.

[@DIYTyler]

I spoke directly with general finishes and didn't use a higher mixture than they recommended. Like you said majority of finishes are not made for it, high performance top coat can be mixed with GF water based stains.

[@kidphillyorg]

I found myself looking at your shop and wondering how long it took for you to build all those tables and drawers!!! Woodworkers have a different mentality and I’m looking forward to starting my project after watching this video. Thanks!!

[@tegmapat11]

It's funny how when little guys like your son help with projects, they almost always wear sunglasses. LOL I have a great picture of my great grandson "working on" an ATV with his Dad, with a wrench in his hand, and sunglasses on, in the garage. It is so cute! Anyhow, I wish you would have shown the correct placement of the boat seat swivels as I don't get it. I tho't they would have to be more toward the center of the side of the frame, in order for the bed to be totally within the frameworks, not right at the edge. ????

[@gjforeman]

Great project. Another cheap option for coloring clear water-based finishes is just throw some instant coffee in it. Did this a while back with a project covered in red oak plywood. Thru a trial and error process, I found best trick was to dissolve a large amount of coffee crystals in a cup of hot water, then add this to the water poly. Do a bit at a time as you can always darken it but can't go back. Made a great golden-oak finish, and subsequent coats darken the finish, but recoating can make for dark streaks in the corners, so once the desired color is achieved, additional finish coats should be clear coats.

[@DIYTyler]

+gjforeman That sounds delicious! Thanks for the tip!

No table saw. Ive got a portable Craig crosscut for my circular saw but there's just no way unless you took some of the build outside put some tarp on the ground and got very comfortable with your saw horses. Lol. I'm hoping the old router bit from my 6-piece Black & Decker matrix would take care of the dado but who knows, it's not the sturdy piece of machinery although it has been super handy so I don't want to knock it too hard. Also those sheets of plywood aren't necessarily cheap😅 but if this is something you need this is an awesome tutorial. Im in deep consideration. Like a lot of you I wanted a smaller version but I think the measurements for the size bed are a lot easier to tackle. Especially if you're not losing anything off of your sheets of plywood because it's super nice.lol.
