2x4s ONLY! Queen Size Bed Frame ONE DAY BUILD!

This build was a fun one. I used 7 2x4's, a 4x8 sheet of OSB, and a cheap pine 1x10 off cut from home depot to build a queen sized bed for my girlfriends mother. I experimented with new finishes, and designs. I made mistakes along the way but learned a ton. Enjoy!

Awsome, for someone who needs a cheap diy bed this is it, thanks for your time and effort!

Great job man. LEARNING is what we all need to do and sharing our mistakes is a great way for other people to learn even more . Applause

I love this. Simple and functional. Thanks.

Sorry to be the negative Ned/safety guy in the comments, but please be careful: at 3:18 - best to avoid miter-type cuts where the piece is between the blade and the fence. There's a pretty good chance for table saw kickback. A miter gauge or even a table saw sled works best.
At 0:50, is iffy, but somewhat more borderline.
And possibly consider slats vs solid OSB under the bed so that the mattress can breathe.

I loved this video, especially the very end. LOL

Good raw down to earth work, basic stuff but really useful to people like me who enjoy these projects but are not carpenters..I have two new bed frames to make early in the new year and am looking forward to them, as a retiree I love to keep busy, well done young man I love your honesty with mistakes, we all make em 🙄😂

You need much more ventilation through the plywood, without ventilation you could get mold and mildew.

[mikeballmball]

Very nice! Hope this got you some brownie points with your GF's Mom!

[ihsanal]

Wonderful 👍 what is frame wood’s measurements?

[CJ.--]

Is the fermeldahide toxic smell a concern to your health off the plywood?

[ZxavianSlater-dm]

Is it very important to stain the wood even if you make a floating platform style frame?

[derekstewart]

What would be the measurements for a double bed?

[GeorgiaRidgerunner]

About that osb i dunno about the building code
But it certainly is used on most residential builds theses days

[martikamoore]

That dog though. So silly. Also who’s that helper with the glue up ;)

I love this easy built bed I Thinkin do it to mom bed you have to buy your lumber first before lowe ‘s or Home Depot cut it down for youIt was open campsites be perfect add the legs to the bed new three legs in the middle of the bed hope to port the body weight

[eugeniocas]

Ooof 3:20 made me incredibly anxious. Please never ever do that again, the chances of kickback are crazy high and you could get really hurt. Always use the miter gauge and NO fence for these type of cuts

[NAGIUXS]

I did something very similar but the odor from the osb is becoming unbearable, did you have this issue?

[walterbartek]

The break at the pocket screws on the middle stretcher might have also been mitigated if you did the pockets from the bottom going upward. May have still broken, but there would have been more wood in the area taking the most stress, that being the top of that board.
