[@wingheicheng1453]

do you have a cut list or diagrams for your cross half joint plywood shelves? I would love to make something like that!

[@dougmarshall481]

Dude you are awesome!!!! But now my wife expects this to happen!!!! ASAP LOL

[@sonyabowles2149]

This is frikken awesome. I have watched a few videos so far. And this one looks like it may be the easiest and least complicated. Thank you.

[@Young937phoenix]

That turned out really good. I'm about to start my sons because he has a small room and now old enough to play game consoles so I'm going to build him a raised bed with a small wrap around couch under it that we already had so he has his own gaming area.

[@samimoring1235]

I dig it I like how solid it is and the multiple possibilities ie. bed, couch, storage, study room, gaming..great job👏👊

[@spnien92]

great build. I like how you build the steps going up to the loft.

[@AlanGarcia-js9ck]

do you have the plans of the the measurement and lengths on how to built the cubed storage

[@tracycook5445]

Love it just what I want in my bedroom for my grandkids to use plus storage for my sewing

[@ouch65]

Very well done. Thanks for sharing!

[@adtsetful]

I'd sure love some dimensions as well

[@ashleyb5706]

This is just awesome!! Can't wait to see the rest of it. That bed is not going anywhere lol we used less supports for the loft in our barn, that bed will be fine hehe 😀

[@kyliejones9047]

Can't wait to see the finished room!

[@trinh3949]

I wish I could build things.. You make it look easy. Maybe I should look into a class for this.

[@akashsambare8046]

Same here

[@danrhomberg1663]

NICE JOB Dad!!!...Impressive. Really enjoy the channel as always....Best to the family.

[@adamcturnbull]

Nice. Love your storage stairs. Much better and safer than a ladder.

[@brunoangel4556]

Great job well thought out amazing details.

[@nghiavo1502]

I very very like IT 👍 i hope you have more many video new.thanks

[@terracottaneemtree]

I saw all the videos up to No. 5- You really do fine work! Am just watching a Command Hooks video. 26+ genius command hooks hacks...on But First Coffee channel. Your daughter could put them on her wall to rest her devices while charging...

[@Thornspyre]

Ive watched a lot of bed making and loft bed making videos and i notice you americans often favour a solid sheet base for the matress to go on top of (in this case MDF) Im not sure if any of you even realise, but a matress should have the ability to draw air in from the underside, it keeps the matress dry (you sweat more than you realise in bed) and cuts down on the various creepy crawlies that make their homes in such places, they prefer it to be a little damp So anyway, really if you do insist on using sheets like MDF or Plywood, you should either drill quite a lot of holes in it, like say one a big (half inch) hole every 6 inches or so, or better yet use slats for the base instead of sheets, thick ply or solid pine work well, i probably dont have to say dont use MDF slats Then as you move around on the matress while sleeping, you draw fresh dry air into the matress cutting down on the nastiness i mentioned earlier This is not just a matter of cleanliness, its a matter of health, especially for kids where it can lead to respiritory issues, matresses may not feel damp, but inside there is moisture, the only way to keep it dry is to have ventilation (and those little vents some manufacturers build into the side of matresses are really not enough) Dont just make beds, make healthy beds

[@SSLFamilyDad]

You know, this is a great point and thinking back it would have been ok for me to use some 1x2 slates for the base also. Great idea, thanks!

[@LitaMendoza07]

I can’t believe I’ve never thought of this. Very good observation and I’m going to keep this is mind while building my daughter’s bed. Thanks!

[@BenjasUberHobby]

Looking nice! Thanks for sharing :)

[@RyngKatBaDPhiTogetherwithYou]

I'm going to order the furniture carpenter to do this in my new little house. Thanks for this idea.

[@gn6300]

I envy your skills. I appreciate your narrative.

[@hannahwillson1982]

THIS IS AMAZING

[@lukcy3372]

thanks

[@AshGurl2897]

really looking forward to the next video in this series. post soon please.

[@DarkMoonDroid]

I think I would make those stairs with a smaller rise. If you search around for the kind of bins that you want first and make sure they are a good size rise for the occupant, then you can build around them instead of trying to find bins to fit the space. That's harder. Turns out, banana boxes made great bins and are the perfect rise size for me and they're free! Good job!

[@stevenkamala7238]

Amen bro thank you for the video upload. Great work and GOD bless you

[@filamphibian2980]

Thankyou for posting this series. The Immediate benefit for me is now I have your work as an achievable template for my build. Thank you

[@skitoles]

Beautiful!

[@ibeattheleaves5005]

I love the amount of energy you put into every day. The room is coming along nicely. While I do agree that the bed is solid and secure, you missed a perfect opportunity to use a half lap joint. Solid and simple. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

[@SSLFamilyDad]

You are totally right. I thought about a half lap or using a box joint but when it came down to it I decided to go the easy route:) I think it will still hold up pretty well.

[@adamcturnbull]

Good point. Carpenters watching

[@jomaquiopatokong8328]

What I didn't like is the gap between the post and the wall. You should cut the top of the pole like "L" cut. So it will fit and touch the wall and it will also add huge strength to carry the horizontal frame of the bed.. what I like is how you make the stairs.

[@mikewalton3204]

that is a cool idea for stairs great job

[@slow_clumsy]

Hey man this is just some advice I am use to building aquarium stand and aquarium can weigh from 100 of pounds with no water to 100,000 of pounds with water and substrate rocks and everything else in it and also the fact that it is live pressure so the stand for it should be able to hold atleast 3-4x the weight of the tank with everything in it so I wouldn't rely on the screws on the bed for the beams you should put some actual support beams under the wood that are screwed into the pre existing beam but hey other than than that great job

[@ronaldjulian9949]

Nice

[@daniellagos2338]

I love your stairs!

That first step that you capped, if you cut a round hole in the front it would make a nice cat bed.

Hi, live your loft. Especially the stair, would you be able to share the dimensions and design about this part?

very well made

Blueprints!!! 😍

[@MrAjw312]

Best dad ever

[@danielortizdecaracas]

thanks for the video, I would like to ask, what is the thickness of the wood to use? How much weight can this installation support?

[@stxferalboys]

Awesome video!

[@HighDesertGarden]

Looks good. I was going to do the same build but I plan to run my posts up into the ceiling rather than down to the floor. A floating loft.

[@SSLFamilyDad]

+High Desert Garden I thought about doing that too, that is a cool idea

Fantastic job.

[@canalprofherika]

Muito legal gostei.

[@ivansuarez8631]

omg im about to do exactly on the video but the stair you build give me another another idea when you cut it on a middle i want to try that one did you cut it on equal size in the middle

[@cheermasterdisaster3240]

I just want to lift an already existing twin bed into a loftbed... by placing each leg on a 4x4 post, placing 2x4s around both post and legs sort of creating a box to slip the legs in and with the posts at the bottom to hold up the legs and screwing 12 nails into each leg... plus of course adding 2x4s connected on the sides (headboard and footboard, and the back as supports to keeping everything steady... ive only ever built a kitchen island so im still new at explaining... but does it sound doable or unsafe?

[@averytijerina3425]

Any dimensions? Would love to get started on this

[@rolandamezcua2831]

Love it man ! Perfect build for my room, do you just screw the structure into wooden studs in the wall ?

[@leobaltz2057]

Great Job!! You have such a brilliant mind! What can you not do, seriously! I always look forward to your videos, never dull!

[@mrfrog3350]

Nice design and build.I'm sure it will be rock solid even through our Michigan earthquakes.Your daughters are gonna love it when it's done.

[@SSLFamilyDad]

+Mr Frog lol, the Michigan earthquakes are mainly just the kids:)

[@bg1771]

I would like this is it weren't anchored to the wall. That way the room can be changed around frim time to time

[@yuliourbe2962]

Amigo muy buen trabajo, gracias por conpartirlo, podrias dar las medidas de las cajas de rscalera que hicistes, por favor se le agradecería

[@nightstringers]

Fantastic job on this cant wait to see the finished product

[@sheilamclaughlin963]

Good torx screws and enough of them will hold what lag screws will

[@uconnizzy]

Hi. This is really impressive. Would you be able to make a video that walks us through the planning process of something like this? Did you use a computer program to lay things out, or draw a rough sketch? I'm looking to do some home projects, and I'm pretty handy, but never know quite how to plan before I start and end up making lots of changes on the fly. Thanks for the great videos! Your kids are going to love this loft!

[@SSLFamilyDad]

This is always my challenge as well. I have used Google Sketchup for projects like this before but then I just end up changing things once I get into it anyway. there is nothing like seeing it going together to help visualize the final product and that inspires upgrades and changes on the fly. I prefer to just start working and I get my wife in to bounce ideas off of along the way. That seems to be the best way for me. I will show some sketchup stuff down the road though as that can be a great tool to get started.

[@johncoffey2914]

Nice build just subscribed

[@emilyz9298]

like your STAIRS! It is a beautiful design! I cannot wait to make one when I have time! Do you have a draft about that? And would you like to share with? What are the dimensions of the materials you bought for the stairs?

[@jay-aryebesangeles767]

Me, if i have a money😁

[@neilnash2383]

I would love to make those box stairs but wood isnt so cheap in the uk

[@hudsonriverlee]

I agree 100% with Inktronics, you should have notched out the support post and not rely on the screws to hold up the weight,. The idea for the stairs is cool. You mentioned how one section supports the other. You boxed in one corner of the support post. Even this is better than relying solely on the screws to hold up everything. I rent an apartment with a huge barn, we cannot screw or nail into any wood surface per the lease. So I must make a self supporting weight bearing system. I plan to use posts as well however they will be notched. Anyhow, enough. You still did an awesome job. I truly liked the video and how you constructed the stairs. I am sure that took some planning.

[@Moldoro]

I've been going over a lot of these videos lately trying to plan out something similar, just a means of deciding how I want to support the weight of both the bed and myself. Just getting nervous that somewhere down the line it'll just fall through

[@heatherl2055]

Do you have plans for the bed?

[@mohamadkhairilanuar7420]

add slide also.. then it's perfect

[@shanandonmckenzie1238]

Hey Bro, From Bahamas I really like this loft, what are the dimensions, and materials needed.

[@adventuresofsven2314]

Yes ,please share

[@lucientopolski7172]

Do some measurements... you'll have to fit it into whatever space you have

[@terracottaneemtree]

If you have a queen bed, Dimensions of a queen bed are 60 x 80

[@adtsetful]

Hey can you give measurements for this?

[@Brian-vr1rh]

I'm wondering if the plywood you used is 1" or 3/4"? When you were building the stairs...did you build the storage boxes to fit storage bins and if so, did you find a particular bin that fit and where did you purchase them? I would suggest for anyone planning to build the stairs to prime and paint while the plywood is still in sheets before assembly. Thanks and good work.

[@SSLFamilyDad]

3/4" plywood. I never pre paint because I like to cover the screw heads and cracks between boards with paint in the final position. Makes everything look like one unit instead of separate boards

[@darwinvasadre9855]

Sir what do call that metal thing that support the wood?

[@Zafor-ium]

1:16 do you have to do that if you have concrete walls?

[@tijnstukker3134]

Looking good! Woudn't it be easier if you would first paint the walls and did the floor?

[@SSLFamilyDad]

+tijn stukker I didn't want flooring under the stairs or posts in case we need to or want to redo flooring we can just take it up and put new down

[@constructionmanagement5661]

Do you have plans for the plywood stair/storage?

[@SSLFamilyDad]

+Christopher Hemenway unfortunately I do not as I was designing on the fly with this project.

[@kaileekuni5524]

im watching this at like 1 AM for no reason what the hell

[@neemtreebark]

Looks like whether a bed is a Murphy or platform, the preferred method is to affix it to the wall. I have a studio apartment and was hoping I finally landed on a channel that will work for me. Am still watching from a different device. It went from platform and desk to loft - but there's no desk or platform. I'm trying to figure things out. I like the box design - it's something I can do and more likely to work. I didn't like the crawl space you made in a prior video - with a "secret door" - someone could put your daughter in that and have their way with her. She's vulnerable every time she goes under it. I'm too old and disabled to consider that design useful for me.
