DIY Bunk Bed
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Today we are building a simple bunk bed that you can either make with lots of tools or keep it simple and use very few tools! This bed is made from QTY 22 construction grade 2x6s and 3 1x6s. I jointed and planed all the parts to 1 1/4" to give the bed a "Lighter" look but keep plenty of stability at the same time. This is certainly not a Ikea hack bunk bed, this will last you for years of use and abuse.

This design also allows for storage drawers below the bottom bed which will be a subject of a future video.

Inspiring and supportive. I can now see why so many people use pocket hole jigs while I can also see how I could do the whole thing with my basic tool set: corded drill, jig saw, and a whole lot of right angle screw plates! Not as elegant but cheaper with my current tools. It's great to have a casual view of happy kids underfoot, too.
Gorgeous...I admire your skill and the most important thing is that you make it with your love.
"Daddy made a bunkbed for me!" - Sooooo adorable! :D
Wow! Your bunk bed turned out beautifully. I love the color. Your children will get years of use out of them and they will always remember that you built it just for them. Awesome job.

Thanks so much for the kind comment Tom!
GREAT WORKS
I've seen a lot of plans, I like this one the most, so far. Good job!
Very good detail in regards to the instructions on how to build this. Possible project for the future once my daughter decide on one of these.
Hey Tyler....I have been following your builds for a while now. I am very impressed with your skill level and with your candor. I am happy to see young men being great role models as well as great dads. I praise you for being who you are. God Bless

I was pregnant with my third baby while working on some furniture for the house. It is really encouraging to see other families also going the diy route, so thanks for posting this! I also loved seeing your son keeping you company during the build- mine did too!☺

Great job there Tyler. I hope people watching this video and using your plans to build their own, REALLY appreciate all the work you put into making these plans available for FREE, and making a build video along with written building instructions. I noticed you use the same tecnique as John Peters at 10:28 , wrapping the power cord around your underarm, when rounding over the edges. I´ll try that. Good Job Ty.

+Bellevue Woodshop Thanks for the kind words Roy. All the effort has been worth it, without a doubt. Yes, saw the cord wrapping trick from Jon and it is actually really helpful. Now if your cord gets stuck it doesn't tip the top of the router and you can give it a subtle yank and pull it free without compromising your work. (Jon has good stuff BTW, different presentation style that is somehow very....relaxing?) Thanks for the support Roy!
Great Job Tyler. The first time I have seen stain on pine that looked good!

Great job Tyler. Well planned out, looks great. I can see you put a lot of thought into this project. I especially like the rail on the top bunk. My grandson was watching with me and yup, you guessed it. He wants papa to make him a set. lol. I love watching your videos. I enjoy watching you interact with the little ones. Two thumbs up.

Great Job Tyler, Have been watching your videos and pocket hole joinery saves a lot of time . Amateur woodworkers like me (I am from India) get to learn and try out lots , We aren't so lucky to get good quality Pine wood here. Hope to see more videos from you in future, Cheers.
That looks awesome, the finish in particular is very nice for what was once construction pine

Not at all a woodworker (my dad was) but somehow came across your KZread and subscribed. You’re so neat and tidy and precise and I just love that. Helpful and creative storage ideas for your tools and your home. Love your kids being with you and “assisting” (as me and my siblings did!). One thing, does “the wife” have a name? I prefer being referred to by my name, maybe she would like that as well. Great job! I’ll keep watching and liking!
bạn làm rất tốt, đẹp và cổ điển
Very nice TG. Looks like some happy and proud kids. I can remember(just barely) when I built a set. Then cut them into singles when the kids grew up. Like the intro and the shop helper. JimE
