DIY Platform Bed with Lots of Storage and Built-in-Charging

On this episode I build a DIY plywood platform bed with drawers along one side. A large drawer in the footboard, and sliding doors along the other side. I also build a simple headboard with a ledge for holding and charging all of our electronics while we sleep :)

This is awesome! The only thing that I would maybe do different is to put slats in the middle part instead of another platform as mattresses can mold eventually without air circulation

Great build Chris. I love the visual aspect you put in your videos with the drawings. Helps understand everything much better. Great work dude

I love how unobtrusive the sponsor sections are in your vids :) You flow nicely from the project to the sponsor and back again, there's no dramatic or jarring pace change that just throws off the aesthetic of the whole video. I end up just waiting through it instead of skipping.
I think you just have that kind of calming and gentle voice that's comfortable to listen to :)

Hey a quick tip when you used the rputer against a wooden strip you want the round part of the base of the router to touch the fence because (at least with my router) that part is perfectly round. And if you use the flat part it will rock around and you wont get a straight cut. With the round part you can move it around and the cut will still be straight btw. Great video as always keep it up 👍👍

Hi Chris. Nice build. I've made a few similar builds and one advice from me to you, free of changer, would be ventilation holes under the mattress, and plenty of them. Even with a latex core, I've had issues with moisture build up between the warm mattress and the colder plywood. The first layer of glue will stop the plywood from absorbing the moisture.

The best DIY bed with drawers I've seen on any channel. I would really like to see some plans to print with measurements so I can make my own. Such a nice build and video. Best of wishes from Puerto Rico.

This video helped me solve a problem with a completely unrelated project I have in the planning stages. I’m planning a wooden snake cage with front-opening sliding glass doors, and I could not fit the life of me figure out how I was going to get the doors into precut dado tracks without taking part of the frame apart and reassembling it around the glass doors. Your instruction of making the top track deeper just solved this conundrum. Thank you.

Flat bottom bits - boy you got me there 🤣😂🤣
Not sure if I can ever listen to that normally 😂🤣
Awesome work - DEFINETLY will inspire our new bed!! Thanks 😇

You are still by far my favorite maker youtube videos to watch. Combination of good designs, woodworking skills, presentation, and tongue in cheek humor is unchallenged in my eyes. Keep doin yo' thang!

I didn't even finish this video and I am already beyond impressed. Excellent work, my man. I am never buying a bed box again.

[WalkersWoodworks]

Lol dude your humor kills me. Thanks for doing what you do man! Always entertaining.

[bmfairweather]

So you have a cut list or plan I can buy/download?

[nebbnht]

Personally, I love the unfinished look. It's light and neutral and keeps the room uncluttered visually.

Chris.... Your Brilliant! It was a pleasure to watch this awsome build!

What program do you use for your 3d modeling?

I really like this style of talking about the sponsor

[metratone]

Lovely piece of furniture. I am planning a similar build for my son just wish I had a nice big work space and tools like you. Nice video.

I hereby do solemnly swear to attempt to make this bed while wearing my FourEyes T and a pair of Oreo 4s. Thank Chris 😉
