Watching it today 17/2024 from Japan. Thank you. Really helpful to make my own project 🙏

Finally a method that doesn't use those expensive hinge systems that others are selling. Thank you so much for sharing this. I'll build a similar but horizontal set up soon.

I just completed my unit and wanted to offer a tip to those of you who make it. When attaching the platform to the unit with the hinges I piled books under the platform until it lined up to avoid pinching my fingers and keeping both of my hands free to align and attach them.

Thanks! Was looking at just buying one of these and cannot for the life of me understand why even the most basic ones are so very expensive. Seemed like a good thing to DIY.

I like your method of fast motion and narrative. No nonsense and waste of time of the viewer. Other DIY videos adds too much irrelevant stuff. This is how videos should be done. GREAT SHOUTOUT

We have a home in Mexico with a “bodega” (storage room) that we made nice enough to double as a bedroom if we have a larger group visiting (that won’t fit in the other 3 guest bedrooms plus sleeping loft 🤣 - we have lots of family and friends). So this Murphy bed will be PERFECT! I will be my husband’s assistant, as he is the handyman who can do all these projects. But I’ve always said when I retire as a doctor, I want to learn carpentry. Something so special about working with wood and creating beautiful and functional furniture. So glad I found your channel! ♥️

I love the fact that your in slides, I do as much as I can in slides before I have to put boots on 😂 Love the design!

Merci monsieur, un grand salut du Mexique.

Amazing concept of murphy hed. Thank a lot and cheers

I want to thank you SO much for sharing this! You and I have similar styles when building...I've got the platform and cabinet complete, your video and instructions are easy to follow. I've made mine for a Double bed, not queen. Your idea is fantastic...after searching for weeks for a cabinet style yours truly is the best design I've seen. You're not kidding about how heavy that platform is! lol, I had to trick two big friends of mine to come carry it upstairs for me! I'll be doing the shelving unit slightly different, I want to add a slide out shelf to use for a computer, and mine will be wider.

[showayreysrael]

Excellent build. Thanks for the insight.

[luizpauloalvesdacosta]

Sensacional! Parabéns pelo trabalho, você faz parecer tão "fácil". Ficou incrível!

[aliciakruse]

What measurements should I use for a full size bed? Would spring hinges help with pulling it up & down or should I get the Murphy bed kit? Also, would 1/2” plywood work instead of 3/4” plywood? I don’t want the door to be too heavy for me to lift. Thank for the awesome video and look forward to the response.

The detail you share is incredible this build is so simple I was watching much more complicated videos with all the modern day hardware but such a poor explanation can we work together you could teach me additional woodworking tips
