Just found your channel Matthias last week, man you are my newly found hero! I can't stop watching your videos and really like how you solve design issues and explain woodworking in an easy to follow manner and with simple plain English (none of that jargon filled tuts) that even newbies like myself can follow.

It's people like Matthias who really makes the world go forward. Clever people! I really enjoy watching these videos! #addicted

Hi Matthias, I love the engineering aspect of your woodworking. Watching them is almost therapeutic for me. Keep up the good work.

That's a beautifully simple looking bed. Old video I know, but the tip about cutting the rear legs for base boards is a lesson more bed manufacturers should learn. Thanks. Love the slot mortice machine too.

Great video. Incredibly clever thoughtfulness cutting out the portion of the legs for the headboard!

Awesome Job! You obviously took it way beyond the minimums of what the plans required! As a machinist I appreciate the attention to detail and all the equipment you have built from scratch and scrap for that matter. Keep up the good work! I look forward to seeing your future videos.

Very nice! Looks great! and..... inches!!

Fantastic Work! It's clear that you went above and beyond what the designs called for! As a machinist, I value your meticulous attention to detail and the entirety of the equipment you have constructed, both from scratch and leftover materials. Continue your fantastic effort! I'm excited to watch more of your vids.

Great to see Imperial making a comeback...makes all the sizes sound more realistic and caters for us "Oldies" who refuse to change and I make no Apologizes for saying that...you have another "Imperialist" Subscriber...great Project...

Hello from Russia! Very interesting video! Everything is done correctly and beautifully. Good luck.

I like the somplicity of this design Matthias, and as parts are so hard to get here in Colombia, as John Heisz said, no 'hard to get' hardware, just what I needed, thanks!

Hi Mathias, I built the king size version of this about a month ago. Thanks for the diagrams from your website. There is a small error on the side rails though. Also, I also made adjustment to the bed. I used 2x6 lumber for the legs, plus omitted the footboard. Subscribed to your channel

I know this is an old comment, but on the off chance you still remember - were the 2x6 legs oriented lengthways or widthways? I'm considering doing something similar but I'm having trouble visualising, does it not get in the way of the mattress?

Need to get a quick bed for my son going to college. This looks like something we could do in a few days. I'll show it to him and see if he likes it. Thanks for showing.

First time seeing one of your videos and I can tell from your craftsmanship and the impressive custom built tools you have in your workspace that you are a pro. Great video!

You should teach a class on this. I learned so much just from watching 👀this.Thank you!

Am so envious of your ability to make any type of bed you like. Cost savings too. Quality guaranteed!

Nice. I can watch these type of videos for hours. Craftsmen like this are the best part of human race.

Christopher Hilder If a person wanted to, they could add screws from the inside for a little more strength. We have a queen-sized bed frame similar to this design, and the slat support rails are glued and screwed from the inside. Had it for 15 years and no problems at all. Great thing about plans like this is that you can adapt them to suit your needs.

He did put screws in the slat support rails, although he didn't mention this,can see them towards the end of the video. aserta No, the glue has to fail before the screws become stressed. In this way the screws are like insurance on the glue joint, ensuring that, even should it fail, the bed won't immediately collapse.

Doug Reed Where did you get the idea that the slats were glued in?

Huh. You know, if you drilled some tiny holes in the back where nobody would see them to release the air and glue built up in the mortises you may have been able to get those mortises in easier without compromising strength. Plus, it's the back so no one would see them.

True. But most wood workers shave off just a tiny 1/8” or less wide flat spot on the round of the dowel or domino to also do the same thing and there’s no hole. But good idea though

Absolutely talented is what you are, Matthias.

supporting a mattress with just slats has always made me nervous, especially since I've had one or two of them break before when a friend sat down hard. Have you considered adding 3/8" plywood sheets over the slats to help distribute the weight better?

How long did that take? Also, if I understood correctly, the wood the slats are resting on is just glued to the frame? Doesn't that mean that the glue is what's bearing all the weight?

Imperial is a much better system. Great british furniture used imperial for hundreds of years. Wood in the UK today is still measure and spoke of in imperial.

I'm super jealous of the quality of dimensional lumber you have access to. I think the stuff around here is sawn in a pretzel factory.

Nick R 3/4 = .75 ; 1/2 = .5 ; 1/4 = .25 ; 1/8 = .125 : 1/16 = .0625 An easy way to do the math is to divide the first number by the second number. When dividing things, 12 (inches per foot) is more practical than 10, since more numbers are divisible by 12. (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12) This is likely why fractions are used more often in imperial measurements than in metric.

Fantastic job, looks super strong, again great job...
