I'm 1 minute in and I've already seen more woodworking power-tools than I'll ever own in my life.

[@croness91]

tbh these ppl are just showing off their tools tbh. theres no way anyone owning all of this cant build their own bed frame.

[@inkman002]

​@@dropndealwell maybe D.I.Y. isnt a proper title.

[@SolidSnake-]

"super simple" hahaha

[@TanyaKatherine]

That's exactly what I thought. I am so jealous and broke lol. That's why I was here, to find out how to hand carve a bed frame so I don't have to buy one for $180-$200.

[@TanyaKatherine]

Also, I was just thinking, the people that own these tools can afford to quickly purchase a $200 bed frame from IKEA or Wayfair. Which I cannot. I thought maybe to get some wood from the forest, wash it and seal it with healthy (and non toxic) wood sealant, paint it with healthy wood stain from Ecos brand maybe? Idk... and then find a way to get a hand sander (wearing gloves, mask, and eye goggles) and just carve and sand the wood into a twin bed by hand without power tools. And instead of making the cuts with power tools, sand the grooves so the wood slides in. Maybe I'll have to use my Dad's circle saw or drill to fasten the joints with screws nails or whatever. I don't want to buy the frame from IKEA that is wooden that everyone says falls apart. I also want the wood to last, be sturdy and have that polished European antique ancient old style look to it.

[@PBunyanOx]

You begin your video with professional level carpentry tools and precise instructions. That's excellent for guys in the industry but hardly diy.

[@tjellis1479]

agreed... DIY plans for sale......hmmm? sharp corners aren't safe either

[@leezy7787]

"Diy" pertains mostly to skill(or lack thereof), not equipment. As far as "professional level carpentry tools" go, most of those tools are made to make things faster and easier. That means you can achieve the same goals with less. It just takes a little more work! For example; Instead of planer to smooth wood, you can use a sander. No sander? Well, you can sand by hand. They also sell sanded planks at most big box stores. Instead of the tablesaw, you can use a circular saw, handsaw, jigsaw, or hell, even a sawzall if you're brave enough. Lol Pocket holes aren't exactly necessary. They just hide the screws/bolts and look nicer. So,you shouldn't need a fancy "jig". BUT if you really wanted to, pocket hole jigs are fairly simple to make yourself. Tdlr; Improvising things from less makes diy more fun! 😁

[@PBunyanOx]

@@leezy7787 equipment has everything to do with presentation. Diy normies are looking for easy instructions and a simple list of tools and materials. Using professional tools and industry jargon might cause one to shy away from a project. Improvising can be extremely frustrating to some. TL;dr This video is mislabeled bc it's not "super simple".

[@stjt16]

@@PBunyanOx happy I'm not the only who thought this ^^

[@deadnthehead4557]

@@PBunyanOx As a beginner in Woodworking. You are totally correct. I'm somewhat familiar with these tools and even less with the terminology. I would think simple would allow someone to watch and NOT need to Google or watch other videos to understand the video that was supposed to be simple to understand.

[@dwilliams6128]

Came here for the project -- got a few bonus laughs in the process. Very nice, simple, and attainable! Thank you!

Thanks for explaining how the mistake with the legs came about and how you fixed it. The same thing happens to everyone, and it was really useful hearing about it in your video. Maybe I can prevent my own mistake in the future, who knows!

[@brendathompson3758]

love that this bed can easily be dismantled for moving etc. looking forward to working on this in the new year after doing some woodworking courses at my local makerspace.

[@scottwyckoff5483]

Super simple

[@naiyalexic]

This is a nice, classy platform and looks great. Nice wood. Pretty corners too. Can you please help those of us without planers and jointers on a simple platform for a queen foam mattress? Thanks so much.

[@ujkhan1]

Good bloody job buddy

[@raviparihar8120]

I’m going to start my first DIY project. Which wood from Home Depot or Lowes you prefer to build indoor and outdoor furniture?

[@EricGrayEricLeePhotos]

Sweet! I've been thinking of building a bed once we upgrade to a king mattress. Thank for the content!

[@GunflintDesigns]

I'm glad you found it useful! Once all the parts come together it's incredibly stable. I'm sure it would still work if you just expanded the dimensions to fit a king.

[@tonyblanco305]

Gorgeous just like everything else you've made. Any future plans for a headboard? Or did they not want one?

[@GunflintDesigns]

Thanks Tony! No plans for a headboard. This was actually for my brother, and he wanted the simplest/cheapest frame I could come up with. That being said, a headboard would attach the exact same way, so if you just made the legs and rail taller in the back, you could turn it into a headboard.

[@JanMleziva]

Hi, thanks for the video. I was just thinking... Because of the design of joints where the inner corner of the leg reaches some 1 1/2 inches inward, there has to be significant gap between the side frame and the mattress revealing the grid boards and really taking away from otherwise really nice and clean looking bed frame

[@daigleswoodshop5159]

Yet another great video Mark! Am I the only one who watched through the final 30 seconds of your logo waiting for some kind of post credits scene? Lol

[@GunflintDesigns]

Haha, I hope you weren't... but I'm sorry to disappoint you!

[@tripodthreefoot2268]

Nice project, I'm thinking ¾ treated plywood sheet would've been great on the lats

[@hughforster]

Smash together some pine railings with baten screws, fence palings as the bed boards, more railings as the legs. And then call it a day.

[@PoisonShot20]

Who makes the pocket hole jig?

Little blood, sweet and maybe some tears too? Awesome build and I'm needing to build a new bed frame but I'm wanting to put draws or some kind of storage mostly too keep the cats from living under the bed.

Blood streaks! All right!

[@MixingGBP]

3:40 like that movie the red violin, 😄

[@PaulMillhouse7]

What's the width and thickness of the rails?

[@WadeBarmby]

Yes, there are some big tools in this video, but all of this is attainable with a few basic tools such as a skillsaw, some homemade guides, a little creativity, and some thought. Have done it myself with a homemade table saw, skillsaw, and a router ... because I had a router and wanted to use it. The long-term plan would be to get some better tools and make better stuff of course. 👍

[@GunflintDesigns]

I really appreciate you pointing out the obvious! I figured it was good enough to show the simple materials and construction, but I wasn't prepared for how many people would loose their minds when they realized they had to figure out how to do it with what they already had.

[@WadeBarmby]

@GunflintDesigns 😅🤣 Isn't that one of the best things about wood working though? Just figuring out how to do stuff, make jigs, problem solve, and have a go. Use some scrap and try something out, try another approach if it doesn't work, work the problem, and a solution will present itself. Other than sometimes having a diagram or plan, there is no absolute right way to do something....well, maybe a few things like safety and keeping your digits, but anything else. Have a crack at it, learn as you go.

[@rghoag1]

[@theARoberts]

Hey, the legs at the end were not the same ones you... oh wait. 🙃 Serious but random question though, do you ever buy furniture anymore or do you just make it all since you have the tools/skills?

[@GunflintDesigns]

Lol, good catch! I can't remember the last time I bought any furniture. I could see potentially buying something if it just needs to be cheap and happen fast, like closet organization or something. But usually I just build exactly what I need.

[@BrianTrezise-phoenixhawke]

I showed this to my wife as an option over buying some junk bed off of Facebook marketplace for my kids (we'd modify it to be twin sized), and she didn't like that it doesn't have a headboard. How would you go about altering this to add a headboard of some kind?

[@Weaton777]

I thought about making a headboard, maybe using an old oak door and attaching it to the wall. We can only have the bed set up in one positive so this would work great for us. Plus it just seems more sturdy.

[@eneidalebron5122]

What if we don't have any tools just saw hammer no machinery
