Great vid, great build. Excellent way to show that it doesn't take expensive tools or a custom workshop to make a complex piece. I didn't mind the music, unlike some others, but to each their own. Keep building and keep growing your skills!

@elijahmcstotts2871 3 года назад

@@recyclespinning9839 So I rewatched the video and made a tool list. Assuming she bought everything new, bought each tool individually, and didn't shop for sales? Then yes, $800 would be pretty accurate. Maybe even a little low. But I have almost all the same tools that she used in this build and I paid between $200 and $300 for them. I bought my miter saw used for $75, my circular saw used for $25. My drill and impact driver on sale for $100 as a combo pack. On sale my orbital sander was about $50. My router was thrown in for free when I bought my table saw (that I only paid $50 for, both used). You can get a good corded brad nailer for $20, new. From there, the clamps, the square, the pliers, and the tape measure are all fairly inexpensive. But if you're smart about it, you can build a tool collection on a budget. I've got a full shop's worth of tools for very little. Also, you say she was probably taught wood working by her dad. As if that's a bad thing? However she learned, she's still got talent and definitely needs to keep building. I, for one, am looking forward to seeing more projects from her.

@@recyclespinning9839 does every male Carpenter need to start giving props to where they learned their trade? Should everyone start stating who taught them what they know? Or just her since she's a woman doing it on her own? Common sense says she learned it from someone/ somewhere ( just like everyone does), where and who is irrelevant to this video.

You could probably have the music at the same level as your voice, when it plays on its own. The difference is like "going to a commercial" on cable. Good on you for getting the bigger cuts done at home Depot. If they mess up the cuts you get new pieces. Easier to transport cut pieces, and it makes a project more accessible.

Twin Murphy bed for tiny house

@cjeharnish Год назад

this is really great. I followed these directions with a few modifications people may find useful. 1. i made the frame panels from three horizontal panels instead of two vertical panels. Then cut notches in the middle panel to hold a solid core wood shelf (x2). I bought a 4'x24" hardwood butcher block for the shelves, but one could probably rip a 2x12 to do the trick.I added a second 3/4" x 4" piece of ply to the back of the cutout so the shelf/legs get 1-1/2" of reinforcement. We'll see if it holds. Then for the hinge, I wasn't in love with the hardware, so because there's more than 1-1/2" difference between the cabinet and the bedframe, I used a 1-1/4" wood dowel for the hinge. I reinforced the cabinet and bed frame with a second 3/4" piece of plywood, drilled a 1-1/4" hole and ran 4" pieces of dowel through.

@chrisgraham2904 2 года назад

The professional Murphy Bed hardware kits have a spring tension mechanism, which allows you to lift and store the bed with one finger effort. The 'swivel plate mechanism' shown here is a great alternative for a bed that is used on a rare occasion for guests as long as you are strong enough to lift the end of the bed up to the wall. Perfect for a home office room that needs to double as a guest room on occasion.

@simonspoke Год назад

The spring tension is also a safety feature so the bed doesn't fall down hard and kill someone underneath!

@Just..Me.. Год назад

Nice that someone explained why this mechanism was used. Because it’s important and the builder skipped right over that part.

@chrisgraham2904 Год назад

@@simonspoke True, although a latching/locking mechanism would be an easy and inexpensive addition.

@anthonyhiscox Год назад

@@chrisgraham2904 It's not just the latching, it reduces the speed that it falls at. So it's like opening the lift gate on a truck where the hydraulics control the speed it opens at. If you had a guest open this and they lost control and a child was underneath it they would be in serious trouble. Not saying don't do it, just that's part of the reason murphy hardware costs so much -- and it's a great reason.

Very well done! Suggestions… Maybe a little more soft & less driven music. I understand the music seems to move and inspire, but for me it’s a distraction. I can also change the channel or play on mute! Sorry if it seems I’m nit picking… Your build and aesthetic applications are lovely! Your dual purpose shelves and bed legs are especially pleasing as well as the 4” plywood decorative choice! Perhaps to minimize the gap between the two frames when it is closed, some foam backing rod, for log cabin building, covered with cloth strips running vertically. The backing rods would be soft and easy on your knee caps?! Just some ideas. Please don’t be offended. Your idea and results are amazing! Regards!!!

Nice work. One suggestion, I would drill the pocket holes for the base on the outside face of the box , that way the screws are not biting in the very edge of the base plywood, which is weaker. The issue is that the holes are then visible but since you’re painting the frame, file holes and no problem there ;)

So the holes going into the frame, going around the frame (horizontal), or the holes going into the bottom base(vertical)

Great Job. Food for thought. Instead of the bolts/screws to secure it in place when in the upright closed position, why not just use slightly sanded smooth dowels that can be slid in and out such as your screws, and would hang out a half inch or so that you can easily grab it with your fingers. Dowels can also be painted the same color as your frame. I used the dowel idea on a drop-down desk (very similar to the function of the Murphy bed actually) to secure the desk when it is in the upright/closed position. It may add a nice touch. Again, not a criticism, just food for thought.

Brilliant build. I like the chair swivels, great idea.

What a great alternative to the usual $3-500 murphy bed hardware! Would have loved to see more detail around how you got that installed. Also, would like to hear how its holding up in a year or so!

So would I have also liked to see more of the hardware. I said to myself......"" How could she have left one of the most important part I believe most viewers wanted to see, the hinge/swinging mechanism "" ?
