Awesome, just let me run out and get a circular saw, nail gun, lumber, carpenters glue, wood stain, brushes, and.... Oh wait a sec, Ill just go BUY a brand new completed bed set and save all this headache. Sheesh, what a useless video.
ReplyGosh...I was just thinking about some sheet wood resting on cinder blocks.
ReplySome of us do alot of our own creations so.... we have alot of the tools already. you can use the same idea and make some thing else. Just think coffee table and end tables. How about some plant stands, a book shelf. Basic and easy, anybody could do it. I have some ideas and they will jazz up my room.
ReplyIf youweighmore than 250 pounds, or desire a firm bed , and more storage, this isthe way to go. Since I am tall I make the bed higher, about height of a bar stool, easier tomake the bed, and when you get up in morning,no strain on the knees.Put the winter clothes under bed in plastic bags in suitcase in the summer and reverse in winter so closets don't look stuffed.
ReplyFunny comments. If you don't have or want to use the tools why are you watching DIY videos. If you aren't willing to do the work then don't complain. And if you take the time to buy the tools guess what? You can use them again and again. It is called investing.
ReplyAmen to that.
Amen to that, Jim.
Exactly Jim. I am redoing my bedroom and getting a new bed - any homeowner has these basic tools. It's a fun project. Just like these women who like to do crafts of painting shirts or making earrings - they too can go out and buy these things also.
He didnt tell you he is useing red oak or maple ply wood and trust me for the week end wood worker this is not cheap or easy,,,,I am a wood worker and have made many oak and maple projects for the home,,,,,If be an the non skilled,,,,best go buy a box spring or use the cones and cheap wood,,,,no body will no the diff,,,,
ReplyI am on my 2nd platform bed. First one I had for 21 yrs., wear and tear, moving it took alot of abuse. So for 28 yrs thus far.... we have had no box spring and 3 mattresses. Gothic Cabinet Furniture has them cheap. The first I pd. 120.00 for the second wasn't much more. My daughter had a 6 drawer platform for a few yrs., I wouldn't recommend this type for 'jumping - growing kids'. R.
ReplyOne thing that he probably isn't even aware of. Most mattresses that are in peoples homes were not designed not to use a box spring. The box spring is there to flex when body weight is put on the mattress. By using just a board you are actually wearing the mattress from both sides. Your mashhing from both sides beacause there is no flex. Only mattresses designed to used on platforms should be used.
Replywow ....... what an original idea............. they used this for waterbeds back in the 1960's ans as high as mattresses are i think they will make a come back
