Twin Mini Loft Bed

[@maehay4065]

Now that’s a bed I could get into as an little older it wouldn’t be hard to climb up for a beautiful bedroom with something homemade. I am sure your daughter will get many years out of this awesome looking bed Sir👍

[@PoposWoodworks]

MAE HAY Thank you!!

[@ArmyVet76]

Awesome job 👊🏼Thanks for sharing the whole process. I love hearing that I’m not the only one who screws up on projects and has to fix them 😂God Bless🙏🏼

[@royweatherford3199]

Made one for my granddaughter and made it 6' tall. On the ladder side I made the top 2 rails removable for easy access to the mattress during linen changes

[@chrismendonca4522]

I'm so glad I found this video. This is exactly what I'm planning on doing. Thank you!

[@larry4morales1]

I just made this for my son! Thank you!

[@rlewis9608254]

The bed looks awesome and thanks for the tips.

[@PoposWoodworks]

Ralph Wayne Thanks!!

[@jasonludwick3504]

Nice work I really like how you mess up because that ends up being me on these types of projects. Lol

[@scrapdaworld]

Great tutorial!!!!! Turned out AWESOME! Thanks!

[@zivahweirdnwonderful]

Wow! I love it. I have to build one for my son.

[@ALWhiteAuthor]

If you live in an area that has high humidity, take yourself a forstner bit and put some holes in that OSB. You need to have some ventilation to the bottom of the mattress to avoid mold or mildew building up.

I was having the same issues with the kreg driver bits when I used the harbor freight driver.I started using my orange brand one and im just now needing to replace the driver bit after many builds.

[@PoposWoodworks]

Frankie's CNC & Woodworking channel That could be a possibility. Thanks for the tip, I’ll definitely try a different drill next go round.

[@dcarrillo8549]

I just experienced the same thing. I thought it was me because it's the first time I make a bed. I went through 2 bits. I was looking for an alternative to the JKreg pocket hole screw. Thanks for the tip.

[@ysale184]

Really great build! I would like to counter your choice of screws though. When using a pocket hole, you really should use a flat-bottom head screw instead of a tapered flat-head deck screw. With a flat bottom screw you can apply greater torque to fasten the two pieces without risk of splitting the wood.

[@AliBinSun]

Great build

[@mookgirl74]

Very nice, I love everyone of your videos that I've clicked on so far... Thanks for sharing, please keep up the great work👏👏👏😍😍😍😎😎😎👍👍👍

[@PoposWoodworks]

Camella Stills thank you!!

[@lVl1GGL3]

That's a big money saver right there. I've seen those kinds of beds go for $2500 - $5000. Great build!

[@PoposWoodworks]

mike mcclure Thanks!!

[@Vanessa-zv2hl]

I wish pocket hole screws were that cheap here in NZ. A pack of 250 2/2 inch screws cost $56 and then there's the cost of postage and packaging track and trace plus GST on top of that as you can only get them from an Auckland wood working company and a hardware shop, Anything you pay for that Kregs in NZ is doubled. Well thats my rant, So, great work on the build!!

[@philiplogan6416]

Nice job.

[@cindyhenderson8390]

I like it I want to learn to make a bed under a bed to just pull out

[@ruthe.272]

my dream bed 😭💕

[@Yeshuaschosen]

I'd love to have a bed like this for myself(rails and a gate to match) Then I could have the bed all to myself and my dogs couldn't climb in it anymore!Lol

[@PoposWoodworks]

Patricia Hamilton Kephart Haha, that would work!!!

[@krystleroy3068]

We got a xl twin for my daughter she will be two in nov I wanna do this soon when she gets bigger I have the twin xl next to my queen and she’s in there with us hopefully this bed might break the habit of sleeping with is

[@dandregross7691]

Man plywood for $7. My how the times have changed

[@rachelwisinger7384]

What is the clearance under the bed?

[@kaynord4265]

Did use 2x6 for the Post of the bed

[@greatgrandpaswoodworking]

I see this was posted in August 2019. I understand the cost different for Kreg screws and standard screws you are using but the Kreg screws have the neck to help stop the screws from pulling through. Especially for a kids bed. Did it hold up?

[@PoposWoodworks]

Yea sir, it held up perfect! I just took it apart the other day because she wanted a bigger bed and for it to be closer to the ground. It never got loose or anything. The preferred method is the kreg screws but those square tips round too easy.

[@ericsweet1769]

Very cool build. Starting to put this together myself. Quick question: did you not end up using the carriage bolts? Can't see them on the end product and it looks like it's just the pocket holes you used as the joinery. Sorry if you mentioned this and I just missed it. Thanks!

[@PoposWoodworks]

Eric Sweet No I didn’t, I realized if I would have used them and split the post it wouldn’t be as sturdy so I just assembled the bed inside her room.

[@ericsweet1769]

Popo's Woodworks Gotcha, that’s what I figured. Thanks for the reply!

[@TubeYouGuru]

Forgive me if im wrong, but arent those pocket holes backwards? Having them pointy outwards towards the wood is a weak bond

[@akuo72]

Yup they seem to be backwards. Probably done for aesthetic reasons. But the structure is probably ok, as both sides are secured and there shouldn't be enough shear forces to break them.

[@joseacosta755]

Are those all the correct cuts in the beginning of video?

[@PoposWoodworks]

Jose Acosta They are except for 2 of the rails where the ladder goes. But I think I mentioned what I had to recut them to in the video. I forgot to take the ladder opening in account at first. Also I cut the 4x4’s in half at 4’ a piece.

[@amberneecoleman7747]

What sizes should I use for a full ?

[@PoposWoodworks]

Ambernee Coleman this link is what I use and it gives all the bed dimensions. images.app.goo.gl/DHpK8ur7awHmXT9x9

[@Gorillatartare]

Damn I wish osb was still $7

[@lucindamartin7334]

where did you use the carriage bolts

[@PoposWoodworks]

Lucinda Martin I ended up not using them at all. I decided to assemble the bed inside of the room and didn’t need the bolts.

[@tomgiese1065]

What color stain is that? Looks great

[@PoposWoodworks]

Tom Giese It is Coastal Gray by Minwax

[@miadeeann4966]

Chunk that foam mattress away asap there is fiber glass in it we bought one and have it for a week got wet and fiber glass filled our house up in a day and a half

[@slange]

Come help me build one haha

[@4some2joe0]

Haha "that fake wood"

[@scraplifetrashtocash4551]

The paid commercials r soo annoying its hard to watch the content your posting. After 3 I had to stop watching.

[@PoposWoodworks]

Scrap To Cash **** Living the Dream**** when I monetized the video it was only supposed to be one commercial at the beginning. I don’t like commercials in the middle of the video either. I’ll see if I can correct that. Thanks for letting me know!
