WE ATTEMPT TO BUILD A MURPHY BED

[@kathyw1710]

Great idea and I’m happy to see your wife is helping you. Thank you for the video. I enjoyed watching it.

[@MyAlaska12]

That bed is great space saver. Looks great

[@maggiemaysgrace]

Jay's patience teaching is truly heartwarming! Great job to both of you!

[@AlaskanFreedom]

Thank you

[@claudetteraymond8710]

Jay , Eleinne has come so far from the first time you started your videos. Teaching with patience is the best way. Great job

[@AlaskanFreedom]

@@claudetteraymond8710 thank you for watching. She is eager to learn. Seems like I'm always watching her work because every time I'm about to do something she says she wants to do it.

[@rolandvasquezguzman9083]

Hi you two, as a retired Furnituremaker i always say every mistake you can fix or hide is not a mistake, its a design change. Well done, i love your old Jigsaw, it looks awesome and very solid. Greetings from northern Sweden

[@AlaskanFreedom]

Haha....yeah I've even got a new DeWalt one, but love to pull out that old thing since it still runs great.

[@quindamann2010]

Great idea to give you space during the day. Jay is so patient with Eleinne. Very nice to watch your teamwork.

[@AlaskanFreedom]

@@quindamann2010 bed was Eleinne's idea. I was on the fence about it but love it now that it's in.

[@steelexpress_1]

Bed looks really good well done both of you❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@janetgifford743]

So nice to watch you guys work. You work so well together. Patience is a big part of a good relationship. Stay safe and God bless.

[@AlaskanFreedom]

@@janetgifford743 thank you Janet

[@gf3803]

Super cool idea! Definitely going to borrow that, great use of space.

[@AlaskanFreedom]

We had a lot of fun doing it .

[@SeanInAlaska]

That came out awesome! What a space saver too!

[@AlaskanFreedom]

@@SeanInAlaska It has been one of our funnest projects.

[@michaelburns9172]

Love you two your a perfect match.

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Great job :) That makes so much sense in a small cabin to give you more room, Yes you guy's work well together :) It all takes time I'm a bit more of a rough carpenter lol :) Hope your weather is great Stay warm"

[@AlaskanFreedom]

Our weather is too warm, to be honest. It's been 20 F or above nonstop for almost 2 full months. No ice fishing, no snow machines, no snowboarding.....all the fun winter stuff is canceled. I love winter and snow, but I guess it is a little easier for working on projects outdoors.

[@canadians2214]

VERY GOOD VIDEO, I ENJOYED IT VERY MUCH.

[@AlaskanFreedom]

Thank you for watching.

[@DawnMillington-i9t]

What a great idea, look at the space you have now during the day time hours. Great job guys. I always say you work together so nicely. Enjoy your spare now.😊

[@AlaskanFreedom]

Thank you Dawn. We really appreciate you. We have a lot of fun doing projects together.

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

You guys will love the bed and having the extra space. I love it! You guys make a great team.

[@AlaskanFreedom]

Thank you Carol. It really does open up the small area.

[@danhunik7949]

When I am breaking down a full sheet of plywood I cut the panels slightly over sized with a small circular saw then trim to final dimensions on the table saw. This way they are easier to handle and you can get better cuts.

[@AlaskanFreedom]

@@danhunik7949 yeah that's a great idea. Those 3/4 oak sheets where tough

[@LynnOkieDokie]

I like how he teaches her how to use the tools and build

[@lyndioli]

Cool! I can't wait to see what you decide to use as the backdrop , headboard, I know it'll be a wonderful design ,knowing how great the fireplace wall turned out! It's all coming along so nice and really well thought out! 👍💞✨

[@AlaskanFreedom]

I won't let the secret out, but it's going to be a really cool backdrop. Elienne custom-designed and ordered everything to do it.

[@MattAK]

That'll be really nice in that narrower cabin. The Purple is rather heavy so glad to see it's handling it ok!

[@HowiesOutdoorAdventures]

Great teamwork 😊

[@laruedouglas7972]

I always wanted to have a Murphy bed in my bedroom, because it is so small. But I don't have the tools to make one. That is going to be so nice for you 🥰. Great job 👍.

[@AlaskanFreedom]

Makes a huge difference. Maybe looking into hiring someone to do one for you.

[@rogerperson7159]

Your doing a great job.

[@debbiemiller7342]

Very nice build!

[@janreynolds2476]

Super great job! ❤😊

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

Thanks for sharing

[@HowiesOutdoorAdventures]

Never fails does it? They say one thing and mean another

[@joylefevre5635]

I loved my parents Murphy Bed, such a game changer when space is precious. You two did a great job!

[@AlaskanFreedom]

Thank you for watching. We had a lot of fun doing this project.

[@desutho56]

Check your bed instructions....I believe there should be a way to adjust those struts to balance the up/down tension and make it smooth and easy without holding the weight of the bed yourself.

[@AlaskanFreedom]

I didn't see anything. But it really isn't that bad at all. It feels like you're lifting up about 10 or 15 lbs. Then at a certain point, it's basically weightless and moves on its own. I do know of a company that makes custom struts if we need them. I've used them before to customize our camping trailer. Thank you for the comment.

[@StevenCerny]

Thank you for sharing your world

[@HowiesOutdoorAdventures]

Nice saw work Elaine

[@AlaskanFreedom]

Thank you

[@rowenaferrer1380]

Such a nice bed. Watching from the Philippines❤

[@AlaskanFreedom]

Salamat.

[@sandygrubb203]

Great idea

[@rossbrown1748]

It’s good to hear, I really enjoy your videos

[@mariezafonte6473]

That's a nice looking bed but a lot of work to build. You would need some skills to do this. Can't wait to see how you finish decorating the bed. Look forward to see you build the bathroom. Have a good week.

[@AlaskanFreedom]

For sure, it was still challenging. I would put this at intermediate to advanced woodworking skills.

[@marciabullock5913]

Great job!! Huge space saver.

[@OldSchoolAlaska]

👍👍

[@billelsener6192]

Very nice job working together!🙌👏👍

[@dianamazzullo9065]

Great job on the Murphy bed 👍❤️. That took some skill 👏👏👏😁

[@AlaskanFreedom]

Thank you for watching.

[@DManGrand]

Looks great and makes a lot of sense to have in a smaller place....well done... Hi from Mactan Island..

[@geraldinekerr8645]

Bed looks great ❤

[@irenekegel5988]

Great job

[@johnmcnaught7453]

Nice job ! Take Care.

[@charlesbrunner258]

Awesome job great video

[@trevorclayton6247]

Why buy when you can build….. Nice job

[@HowiesOutdoorAdventures]

Hello there

[@AlaskanFreedom]

Good morning Howie.

[@sherrypaproski9564]

Just watching you guys build the bed and my question is why didn’t you put it on the wall to your right would of made more sense wouldn’t it as in more room

[@AlaskanFreedom]

The area I think you're referring to is the bathroom which we are now building and will show in the next few videos. The bed is 15 inches off the new wall that separates the 2 areas. But otherwise yes you would be correct in the fact that it should be more in that direction. Thank you for watching.

[@joeclark9042]

Good video as usual I love watching you guys but I got a question for you I forgot to ask you what size is your building and if you don't mind would you send me the model number to your DeWalt saw or Dewalt table saw please I would love to give me one like that I really appreciate it keep up the good work I love it I know it's cold and keep going y'all

[@AlaskanFreedom]

Model #DWE7491RS is the new DeWalt saw just like ours, but ours is years older and might be different. 15 amp 10" job site table saw with stand basically is what it is. I love the saw and the fence adjustment. Our cabin is 12'x32'. If we were going to be here long term I would have gone a little bigger, but this is a 3-4 year home for us as we build an 800 sq ft main home on the property and turn this into a shop.

[@joeclark9042]

@AlaskanFreedom oh hell yeah I appreciate it 12 by 32 ain't bad looks good and I like the bed you got any room for me up there LOL some land I'm ready to come up there and stay LOL

[@AlaskanFreedom]

@@joeclark9042 haha. They haven't run out of land yet up here.

[@joeclark9042]

@AlaskanFreedom can you help me find something up every other I really appreciate you

[@AlaskanFreedom]

@@joeclark9042 what are you looking for?

[@JacquelineRingel]

So, what do you guys do for fun?

[@AlaskanFreedom]

Lol......projects. Our winter favorite is snowboarding, but it's so hot this winter we haven't got enough snow to go yet. But mostly outdoor activities. Fishing, camping, snowboarding, hiking, scuba diving. When the weather isn't good we have a local racquetball court we use and indoor swimming, or play cribage, read. And Eleinne LOVES to cook. We generally travel a lot, but last year and this year we are not so we can focus on the cabin.

[@rossbrown1748]

Hey guys, just an observation, but you two do not seem to be very happy with each other, is everything OK?

[@AlaskanFreedom]

Thank you for the concern, but yes everything is amazing with us. We almost feel guilty being so happy in a world that is being turned upside down and on fire. This project took a lot of thinking and concentration and that might be showing on our faces a bit in this video. Have a good day Ross.

[@creizyky]

Most people are very different off screen.. Eleinne and Jay are probably the most happiest couple ever alive. Their highly affectionate relationship(off-screen) makes them the most effective and efficient couple on&off screen.
