Raised bed frame with construction lumber 

Thanks! You really don’t need a planer for this project. Yes, it makes the pieces fit together better and look cleaner.. but with some good sanding, you could get a very similar result. You could do this entire project with a circular saw, a drill, and a sander. Happy building!

Thanks! I was looking at that centre rail wondering if it was overkill on a twin bed - I know it's worth including for wider beds, but then you'd also do something sturdier with how the rail mounts to the frame - a centre leg is common, and a joist hanger offers substantially more support than the 3 screws at each end in the video. Given the span of a twin bed, and given it's built for one, seems entirely over the top to include a centre rail - the beds I'm used to seeing that kind of thing on are usually the equivalent of 2 twin mattresses side by side!

Many tanks!

Thank you!

Yeah. And the blocks they are screwed into are simply glued onto the frame. So essentially that Center rail is supported by glue. Other than that the rest of it was very solid.

That’s a really good point. If this were for a larger bed-frame, I 100% agree. A queen or king would definitely need some under support. Given the shear number of 2x4s used, this thing didn’t need the central rail. If I were to do this again on a larger bed, I would correct the central rail joinery. Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

100% agree with this

Thanks!

Also a great option. Especially now with the price of lumber

Hello!

Appreciate the feedback! In my newer videos, I try to be thorough with explaining the process.

I was too distracted watching the blade!

Thanks!

Glue is stronger than the wood fibers. Sounds odd, I know, but it’s true glad you found something you liked

I’m working on learning some software to create all the plans

Built to customer specs

Leg aren't too hight if you want to use it for storage, you dont need mattress lock, i have a frane without any and the mattress isn't moving

I don't understand why someone would want to have some "life" on a twin bed. 😂😂

Multipurpose. You should see my toilet/computer desk setup.

You should see my refrigerator / book shelf setup.
