A very very very simple Plywood Bed 

Woodworking, electronic music and dogs... The finer things in life!

As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement ru-vid.comUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!

Nice one ! This would be a great idea for a Maker challenge - build a piece of furniture from just 2 sheets of plywood without using hardware fasteners (or a CNC). Thanks for sharing & Happy Sunday! :)

Great design Laura. I love the idea of the "headboard" being angled for a backrest. Pretty ingenious!

The best bed frame I've seen in youtube so far. And it's all wood.

This is an amazing design, i feel truly inspired by how simple it is to build, put together, yet it looks like an amazing modern finished piece. Well done!

Einfach und schön! Das mit der Rückenlehne ist einfach genial. Vielleicht bau ich mir das nach. Danke für's teilen!❤❤❤

Look how happy Smudo was to join you on the finished product :)

You're like the coolest cool person ever.

Hey Laura, I just made one of these today (with a little modifying) to suit it fitting in the back of my van. I can't believe it's possible to make such a solid bed from a single sheet of 30mm ply. It's nice knowing I have something I can add a headboard to later on when I move back into an apartment, and there was just enough scrap to make 12 door wedges to sell + a coffee table attachment for the bed. Thanks for your inspiration!

I just love it. All the builds you make look so simple i imagine they need a long time conceiving before. Congratulations

I like this design very much! No screws, just gravity and a few dowels. I like it because it's modular. You can easily swap out any part for a new one quickly. You can change the entire headboard if you want it to be taller, or at a different angle. You could build different bases (taller or wider or both) if you want to add some storage under the bed. You could add bedside tables; make a horizontal arm from the same size board as the stiles, attach a small tabletop to it with dowels, and cut a slot into the headboard to slide the table arm in from the front. Or, you could make an L-shaped arm for the table, and attach it by adding notches to the stiles. You could add a footboard using the same design as the headboard. Does the headboard slide backward when you lean against it? You might need to add shallow notches to the stiles to keep the headboard in one spot. They would only need to be 5mm or 10mm deep, just enough to keep the headboard from sliding backward. If you cut a sawtooth into the stiles, you could then adjust where the headboard stops, and each cut of the sawtooth could allow the headboard to rest at a different angle - steep, medium, shallow. SO many options with this design. Maybe Ikea will buy it from you!

Very cool design. I actually prefer it with no mattress - it reminds me of the 'house skeletons (new builds) we used to play in as children when the workers went home. Very architectural.

Perfect, especially for someone that may frequently move - can easily disassemble, be carried by one person, and fit in their car! 😊🏆🏅

I’m very impressed by this. The economy of materials while retaining the structural rigidity is fantastic. I can see the same method employed for making other items of furniture, perhaps a couch frame, even a coffee table base. Excellent video!

I live on RU-vid for the purposes of learning and inspiration. I subscribe to 100s of channels, none of which are wasted on me. I enjoy every one. And yet, every time I watch a video of yours, like this one, I think to myself... "Absolutely, the best channel on RU-vid".

When laminating wood or doing any glue up put a little salt on after your glue. You’ll almost eliminate slow drifting in clamps while drying.

What a brilliant design! I bet it will not get all squeaky like ordinary beds.

Hey there. Again! Another potential design classic!

The dog is adorable!

I love this design.

Never a video without Smudo! 😄❤❤❤ I love the bed design, your approach is always so simple and functional. I wish I had a mind like yours!

Do you have the plans for this build? I would love to do it but looked on your website and couldn't find them. Thanks!!

Love the artistic style of the video. No gab; wasted time; just great shots, and clear presentation.

Neat 👍 I like the idea you can disassemble it :)

I rarely comment on videos...but this is exactly what I was looking for....a neat diy bed without nails....I am going to make this for my son. Thanks.

Minimalism is the future!! 😍

Thank you Skillshare for supporting my friend Laura! I am thinking about signing up for your service just to show my appreciation. (And to learn a few new things.) Great bed Laura and always a pleasure to see my pal Schmoodo too!

Me: oh, those joints are a little loose. Also me: oh, they fit nice now that it's painted, I'm dumb. I laughed out loud, literally, at Smudo "waiting for glue to dry" 🤣🐶

Yes, no video without Smudo ! I have one from a Spanish shelter. Is my second dog and i love him so much. Life without a dog is terrible. Every Sunday at coffee time is video time. Nice bed. I also built one if different. I like your buildings very much Greetings from Berlin.

I wonder: would you consider bringing back the music recommendations at the ends of the videos like you had a couple of years ago?

i don't have bed for last 1year and now i know what i have to do !!! minimalist and beautyfull everything i like ! thanks for the video very good job :)

This was an excellent idea And your dog is so cute i loved him

Great video and amazing work! And just Dj's will notice the amazing gear she has in the background

You have an awesome choice of music, it perfectly matches the mood, pace, and character of your videos. Nice job.😏👍🏽

Man Laura, so krass was alles um dich herum passiert, habe das erst jetzt geschnallt, Podcast, RU-vid, Sendung mit der Maus, Instagram, Deutschlandfunk ... steh drauf ❤

Noticed your DJ set up in the back ground. You should do killer record wall display next

Absolutely gorgeous. Absolutely mind-blown. I’m speechless. What a beauty on the eye and the tickle in the brain this bed does. Complete admiration

Add my “dorm desk” to this and we’d be on our way to furnishing small room design furniture line that you take apart and stack,lol. Much easier to move in somewhere with a “pile” of lumber😉

Really digging the contrast of the black and the lighter colored plywood slats. It’s very sharp!

Ein steckbares bett. Very, very, very wunderfein, was du da wieder gestrickt hast! :) Schönen sonntach @ll :)

Hello Laura!! I’m folllowing you since long time ago. Please don’t stop to do more videos because you are our strength to do things like you do.

If you are curious: the varnish is “Universal Schichlack”: www.clou-shop.eu/wl-system/1k-klarlacke/universal-schichtlack-9200.html .

I realllly like this design. Since it's so simple, it leaves a lot of areas for customization. Like if you decide to make it a twin instead of a queen, you can make one of the base boxes longer than the other and build an end table that's built into the bed. Or if you're tired of the bed moving around on frame, make some taller boards for the edges and foot and drop them in to encase the bed.

This is amazing! Also, those table saw shots were DOPE.

Total schön. Ich könnte dir stundenlang zuschauen bei deinen Arbeiten. Du bist so ideenreich und vielseitig- Holz-Metall - was kannst du nicht? 😅klasse Frau !!!

Does it make interesting squeaks or creaking sounds when you move around on it? I really like the overall design, especially with it incorporating a headboard.

the most creative bed build I've seen so far!

Excellent choice in tools. Quicker, cleaner, safer and easier.

This is great. I'm normally not a fan of plywood, but it works.

That is such a good and simple design and it looks like you can easily flat pack it as well! When is your new furniture line coming out? 😁

Another great build ! Simple and clean design. Awesome job ! Thanks for sharing !

The Festool machines used in construction here, are most likely beyond any DIY budget, but this project was fun to watch, and it's great to see a woman on the tools in such a male dominated trade. Enjoyed this a lot and hope this encourages more women to take up this creative work.

A true artist

Wondering if there’s a making plan available, meaning, measuring and stuffs.

The camera shots and vid editing are as polished as the bed itself. Great job all around.

won’t that wood-to-wood joints squeak like crazy after a while?

That was so satisfying. Great detail, excellent soundtrack and jaunty editing. So much better than talking heads.

a clean and nice design as always, out of curious, because i am a big man, do you feel those ribs you made through your matras? love the solution for the head board. well keep them coming as always

Excellent work

Wow! Another amazing creation. Thank you for sharing it. I’ve got a couple of questions for you: Is it heavy? You used particle board/MDF and that’s usually a heavy material. And why didn’t you go horizontal with the base instead of vertical? It seems that the vertical base absorbs the weight placed on the mattress and causes it (the mattress) to lose its form when some lays on it, making the bed uncomfortable. I do love the simplicity of the design!

Nice minimalist style, well executed. I worry about the slats, or the edges you are using for slats being too few and too narrow. It really looks good.

is it high enough to vacuum under it? yes i know. im asking the german questions here.

Very stylish and much better than something from I##a. I love the way the dog just sits patiently waiting.

"woof" Smudo, 2020.

Don't Dislike this video, because it costs, Time, Money , Materials, and a mind behind this, it's very easy to dislike but it's very hard to play on the ground, Thank you! Thank you for your Precious time and idea!

What is the product used at 2:06. Very interested in this pre-treatment before sanding. The edges turned out really well.

Great build!!!! I made a similar platform bed for myself a while ago. I used similar box joint construction on a perimeter frame and salvaged a tilt mechanism from an IKEA tilt storage bed frame for under mattress storage. But since I was moving around at the time, I made the frame members hollow beams for wight (solid plywood members can get heavy). And your design makes adding things like side tables easy. You could attach them like the head board.

You need to place a board under the mattress, springs especially, they doesn't like gaps

A very, very, very nice work, Laura 😍👍

What's the material spread on the sheet at 0:20?

Laura, that is one of the slickest, cleanest designs I've seen. I don't need a bed, but I'm already figuring out a way to change the proportions to make some indoor patio furniture with the same look. Very awesome. Thanks!

Hey Laura, because of the gas heater: Do you have problems with humidity in your workshop?

A very very very good video, cut ambience and most importantly makery! Awesome minimalistic design, love how the struts seem to be floating! The solution to the headboard was also just genius! Mad respect, as always Laura! 🙏🏼❤️

It's all wood and grains until someone loses an eye. Seriously though, eye protection, please.

snoodo is brilliant and you my all time favourite designer x

“This is very soothing.” -my wife

Omg I want your tools! ❤ I love that circular saw! 😮

Wie Smudo am Ende bellt 😂😂

I love builds with no fasteners. Well done as always Laura.

Now lie in it.

Vinyl rules! 👍🏻🐕

Encore une belle réalisation bravo!

Beautiful and modern design. Well made. Greetings from Mexico, from one carpenter to another.

Sehr schönes Projekt!!! Gut das Du Hilfe hattest denn wie toll auch solche Platten sind, sind sie Mega schwer zu verarbeiten! Klasse dein sägen auf dem Tisch!👍🏼😁

You have outdone yourself in this video

Simple, but very elegant and beautiful project 👍❤

I could spend the whole night looking at your videos :)

I was shocked to see the black paint coming out. But that is just because of the dreadful 90s furniture trend of black ash. I can see it coming back. It lingers in every corner. But here? Nope! It really suits the bed. Nicely done! Regards, Etna.

Hey lady I might have to make one of these beds for myself now. Thanks for the video. Keep it up and I’ll keep watching, sharing and liking!

Whoa! The bass on that background music made my dentures shake (I'm an old guy). Very, very nice bed! (and extremely sturdy)

I'm always afraid I'm going to repeat myself. BUT, I LOVE these videos, and I'm very grateful for your channel. Thank you again, for another fantastic video.

Oh wow. Okay so I really, really like that build.

😱😱😱Was für ein geiles Teil, wir träumen von einer großen Werkstatt wie deiner! Much DIY love.

I like the design and the use of dowels. Nice work. I would probably add a thin layer of MDF so the matress could rest under.

Nice design, well executed and gorgeous dog

Thanks for the video Laura.

Love this. Just seen an exhibition of Charlotte Perriand’s work - this reminds me of her Japanese influenced work in the 1940s.

Nicely done. Happy doggo

amazing simplicity ,,, I´m in love ! ? with the bed .. of course !
