Building an industrial-styled loft bed and study 

SOMEONE ACTUALLY USED THE MATH THAT WE LEARN IN SCHOOL 💀

This guy has some serious skills. I can only imagine he saved himself a lot of $$ doing all this himself. Bravo!

Are we just going to ignore the fact that freaking birds come and chill on this guy house like he’s a Disney character?

clicked on this for the thumbnail, stayed for the great storytelling. the way you narrated the process and showed all the details and insights on the decisions you made were very refreshing. I love the end product!!

The fact that my man actually used high-school math for something is genius

Given that this was your first major carpentry project and entirely self-taught, I’m very impressed by your creative solutions to unanticipated issues along the way (black nail polish, the blue water colour, 3D printing a jig, stabilising the loft and desk against shearing/sagging). No doubt the end result was incredibly satisfying to have created something so great with your own hands. Now come build my new desk set up please.

That is a fantastic space! You've given me ideas about how to combine a spare bedroom with a music room and I really appreciate you. Thanks for sharing!

Probably one of my favorite DIY videos ever. Every other major diy video is a guy with a big truck, big workshop, and tools. My dude lives in an apartment, I love it!

i wish we have a subject teaching us how to do things like this

The wood craftsmanship and how those birds just come to him, hes confirmed a descendant of Noah

Absolutely gorgeous. I'm so glad this came up on my recommended, and I love the editing!

The quality of the entire project is mesmerizing

This is an awesome build!! The end result is very good, seems super sturdy and beautiful as well :) Loved the integration of the 3D printing to make the model and templates - I might actually expand on this idea in the future :D This inspired me as well!

Awesome design, awesome narration, awesome editing, awesome end result. Awesome video.

I found this to be so satisfying to watch from the beginning to the end. Very impressed by your skillset!

I like that you were able to do this despite living in an apartment. Really nice

Great build! It's nice to see a well laid plan come together and some simple engineering principles at work.

That wood is absolutely stunning! Also, I could listen to this guy's voice all day! It's relaxing!

looks great and the best part is that, you know exactly where the desk or structure would sag! your technical knowledge is excellent! great job man!

Perfect for a studio or even a "tiny home" with tall ceiling in the bedroom, that way you have a bed, and office space.

I would love to study at that desk till the very edge of exhaustion and then crawl up the ladder to have a well deserved nap. Spot on!!

Man I commend you for this. The use of fusion to get a close model & approximate wood lengths, the use of limited space and still turning it into a workshop, the fact that you filmed all of this in a concise, easy way. I’m amazed at the quality of how this all turned out. You sir, are one dedicated person. 👍🏼👍🏼

Definitely build more stuff and put it on your channel Michael, this build is elite. Could make a fortune selling beds like this!

The bedroom we all wanted our dad to build us when we was 10 jeez this guys kids would be happy

Man, this gave me such an inspiration. Something I really needed right now. Thanks so much.

Wow! This build is so sick! Thanks for sharing the whole process. I wish I could build my own.

holy crap, from video quality, audio and content all exceeds most diy videos out there. Quality right here!

If i had the open space in a bachelorette style suite, I'd so do this. This is stunning and amazingly put together. Mad props man!!

Wow. You're a man of many talents

Watching you make this was so satisfying and very very inspiring. I'm so inclined to re-use space in my room as well and create a bed/work room for myself. 🤓👏👏

I love how your Gretsch perfectly matches the room. Great job!

I like the voice-over it makes the video so calming and "effortless". I can tell that you look for excellence and nothing less, really inspiring to watch and a really nice project! Thanks for sharing it👌

i think the most amazing part is that you did all of this from inside your apartment

So you're like a music producer, a designer, and a master craftsman, all packed into one single person... I envy your mad skills...

This project is so satisfying to watch and see the final product. You should really be proud of yourself.

Finally, someone properly concerned with the stability of the construction. It always seemed to me that other videos feature too little focus on the safety and stability of the finished piece. Great video, awesome end result.

*me watching video* "alright I'm going to watch this hipster re vamp his lame apartment." *RU-vid-er buys quality wood and use trigonometric functions to calculate his dimensions* "I sincerely misjudged this guy."

I've already impress with his 3D modelling but when he's started using high school trigonometric, whoahhh... This dude must be one smart student. The bed also impressive man.

I love this video. I am doing this same idea for myself, but my bed is slightly larger. Thanks for your posting this!

A real life (but much cooler) version of Ron Swanson - building anything he wants at a fraction of the price. You are an inspiration, my man.

holy, first time ive seen such accurate craftsman working , this is inspirational thank you

What a great room transformation. Love the look of black details with the wood. Love that 3D printed drill jig you used. Sadly this is the only video of its kind on your channel. Time to redo & film some more rooms in your home. 😉

Who else didn't want this video to end? Great job!

I declare this as the best RU-vid video of the year in my personal year end list.

I'm on a small marathon of videos like this and you're the first one I've seen so far that used the triangle supports. I'm not a builder by any means but I always figured the triangles would help alot of peoples' builds be more stable! For the desk support, I would've went the easy way and used kitchen countertop supports 💀. Your idea was much more functional haha. Nice work!

RU-vid recommend me this video. Watching with no intention then turns out it was really inspiring vid, superb transformation. Good job!

It's actually quite nice to see you being mindful of your neighbours haha I often wonder that when watching videos like this

That’s the best design I have seen… And the style of the design is so great

this was so calming to watch but I was blown away at the same time. very awesome build! I'm attempting a loft bed build in my room as well, and this just gave me such great ideas. again, great job on this, and stay safe!

There's a few other ways to prevent that long desk from sagging or bowing in the middle. 1. Find a square steel tube with an internal diameter the same thickness as the wood and cut one side off the tube creating a C-Channel. Fit the C-Channel around the wood on the long edges of the desk (after painting it black of course). Screw and glue into place. The glue is to prevent future squeaking as things grow and shrink with temperatures and humidity. Or if you can find pre-made C-Channel that can also work, but is sometimes more expensive than square tubing. 2. If you want the top of the desk to remain smooth just use a piece of angle iron that runs the full length of the desk and attach it on the front edge with the other half of the angle underneath. Screw and Glue into place. Painted black it makes a nice trim piece while preventing bowing/sagging. 3. This method is far more complicated and requires two complete slabs of the desk to sandwich together while hiding quarter inch thick by 1 inch wide pieces of steel inserted into channels cut half an inch deep into each slab. The steel pieces will sit vertically and run the full length of the long edge of the desk. Glue into place to prevent rattling of the steel and help to hold the two slabs of wood together. Method 3 can also be used to make book shelves that will hold lots of weight but won't bow and have no visible means of reinforcement.

The raised desk portion has given me some inspiration to build something similar for my desk :D

I really don't know what I should find more impressive; the work itself or the way you cut the video. Well done, mate. Absolutely stunning piece of work (both). Cheers

i actually watched this twice, just cause i loved the editing and your sense of humour. really great job my dude.

Man, you are a carpenter artist, a musician, a tech enthusiast, and such a cool man. Girls would scream loud begging for attention in front of you. 👍

WOW - I was watcing some "do it yourself" videos and wasnt feeling so convinced about the designs and the feasibility, so I was about to go for the easiest alternative and buy. Now I really want to try it out. Thanks!! I will certainly watch the rest of your videos! Greetings from Germany!

Congratulations for the work done and the uniqueness that can be seen in what you do. Thank you for sharing your experience. Greetings from Romania!

man this video is so good I have watched this for 5 hours now

Me: Hmm, that's a mistake, I'd have a flat ladder unless he's making it removable. Me, 30 seconds later: OK, good.

What a fantastic finished product! Love the way it looks, and thank-you so much for sharing. I've been considering something like this for my son's bedroom, and this video will be great to show him. You've given me some awesome ideas. Thank-you!

I hope more of this DIY project. I guess this is so beautiful and informative too.

though dark colours make a room look smaller this looks amazing my room is all light colours with white and just some plywood covered like laminate timber look id much rather have darker colours

I love the sound of fastforward scenes, it kinda reminded me of the Pokemon on gameboy emulator when you fastforward it

I can’t even put together Ikea furniture without breaking a joint or connection. This dude is nuts. He has to be a professional to have built this. I wouldn’t have even known what I didn’t know that I didn’t know, that I’d be screwing up. Amazing!

Excellent build! I'm impressed at what you're able to do in a limited space. I live in the states and have a two-car garage (part workshop, part storage of unnecessary crap), and I wish it was bigger...

Man, it's perfect- the bed, the desk, everything! Just... there should be a nice computer and monitor on there :D ... I was waiting for it in the end :P

1:06 day 1 3:52 day 2 5:01 piping 8:23 day 3 12:08 Result

I seen a video on tiktok of a similar pc directly underneath the bed so I searched for ideas and came across this video. This is too dope!

Omg! I love this! I have a small apartment also and I love finding ways to make to transform it and make the most of the space.

When the math we learnt in school is actually used in real life 😩😂. This is so beautiful tho. Good Job

I can't explain it but somehow this DIY reminds me of those underground pool making videos

I've got an OCD to symmetry and making things align just perfectly... and oh my is this so satisfying!!!

I wish I had a fraction of your skill, imagination and discipline. This is amazing stuff.

This is insane, but a monitor would really make this setup better, but thats just my opinion. Insane build!

"At this point, it was a little bit late for drilling..." my upstairs neighbor would disagree with you :)

I wish I had this room as a kid! Sheesh! I want to do something like this for my daughters eventually.

FINALLY! Someone explaining what they are doing 💯🔥

never thought id be this entertained by a building video lol (you should try out for House Rules or The Block)

Damn! Never thought that the school maths would be very helpful in diy-ing

Hey man, this looks super elegant and so sophisticated on every step! I seriously want to learn how to do what you did man. This is super useful for life.

Dude I'm a student in Sydney and this is so inspiring, thanks man

Before watching this video I thought, “this would be a cool project to attempt” During: this is not possible to do, but I’ll stick around for the satisfying content After: must be nice..

Math: Finally, someone on RU-vid understood my value U_U

This is a very clean and professional looking build. Very well done Michael.

Amazing build! And that lamp is the most beautiful lamp I´ve ever seen!

“Safety first” and then literally had bare feet stepping on nails

Next day things to do: _Moving house_

Amazing. You're handy! The final result looks really good. And the guitar is 👌❤️

I've been making random furniture for 8 years or so and definitely learned a few tricks here!!! Awesome build! Nice work! :D

Hey love that lamp, Any idea where I can buy one like it?

U should get into selling concepts and furnature, this is very impress and, in fact, outstanding design/quality

*He’s a Hero, walking on floor full of tools and screws with just bare foot...*

I too am a fan of the Industrial look. I am in Central Texas and am 6'3" so a clear leg space under the desk is a Pet Pease of mine. I am learning the basics of ergonomics tailored to my size and desk height is 33 inches.

You did a really good job certainly in everything, I'm surprised with number of likes that this video has, Good job man, I really enjoy y learn a lot.

Really snazzy job. I've put my bed on top of a big block of storage drawers. 'Frees huge amount of space, and it's great sleeping 'above the world'. =)

Loved this build so much, watched it twice. Future news: 100’s of years after the building actually deteriorates or is being torn down for new mega skyscrapers, that bed will still be solidly holding up that wall!

This is a bit scary. I'm in the middle of changing the visitor's room. Just yesterday we talked about doing this. Today I open YT. And Boem your video popped in my face. 🤪. Love it love it love it. I see alot of peeps asking about the jig thingy. I'm also interested in that. Also the bed file but I'm oké with the jiggs 😝😝😝.

That was amazing. I'm actually planning on making a loft bed in my tiny room also, but I'm really not sure how high the loft should be from the ground. Can I have a copy of the model you made for this project? I really liked your design..

This is amazing, thanks so much for documenting your process!

great video, great result, hats off for this guy, he's a king

So.. that's the purpose of calculus? Amazing
