Love that fact that you have you're son helping and learning practical life skills at the same time. Beats sitting on the PlayStation all day. Well done Dad and Son. Great video too 👍🏽 👏🏽 👌🏽

I love the simple straightforward directions, without unnecessarily complicating it with plans. I will be using your video to build my 15 year olds loft bed with his help... thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I also love the fact that you involve your kids in the projects... good job Dad!!! I will let you know how it goes 😁

Thank you! Have a blast!

I'm planning on making loft beds for my boys and am going to try to incorporate heavy duty drawer rails so I can slide the mattresses out for easy sheet changes.

Nice to have the kids helping.

For sure!

One thought, with bunk beds. The person on the top bunk during a fire in the house can be a death sentence. If the person sits up when they hear the alarm, go off and they take a breath, they may be breathing in hot enough air enough to collapse their lungs. Roll out of bed and exit the room. Bend down and move as fast as you can. The bed and desk look really good.

Very cool great job great to see you getting your son involved in making his bed great job

Thanks so much!

I’ve been trying to design a double loft bed for my girls with absolutely NO experience building anything ever lol. I had written down the design on graph paper before I’d seen this video 😂 but since we rent I’m not going to secure it in the wall studs instead I’m using 4x4’s for support. The only thing that keeps messing me up is accounting for the room the 4x4’s take up inside the bed and making sure the mattresses still fit. But this was very very helpful, especially leaning about pocket screws that I’ll definitely be figuring out.

I love that your son was such a great help!

He’s loved helping since he was a toddler. It’s amazing to see how far he’s come with his skills and confidence!

Great work, I’m sure the kids absolutely LOVE it. Isaiah looks a lot like you!

when you are building beds build the frame after your mattress, don't buy awkward mattresses.

It’s like you knew what my next project is.

Thank you!!!!

I would love to see a full size option like this!

We usually hand draw our designs on graph paper! I am not very good at 3d modeling, but am practicing every now and then.

I have just discovered your channel and I have to ssy, I love it. Not only is the content clear, concise and easy to follow, it is fun to watch too, lile some of my favourite other channels. I love how you get your kids involved too. I'm definitely going to subscribe. Great stuff.

Looks great!! Really enjoyed the video!

Nice diy, thank you!

Great video! I'm planning to build something similar for my daughter and really like the idea of using pocket holes. However, since I've never used them before, I'm curious about how to correctly determine the pilot hole depth and angle for 2x4s.

Pocket holes are great. What’s awesome about the pocket hole jig is it auto adjusts depending on the material thickness. The kreg and armor tool systems are great, but this one is my favorite for 2x4s: amzn.to/3vf2XF7

@@SixEightWoodworks thanks for the reply! The thing I don't understand is when your fastening the 2x10 through the pocket hole into the 2x4, are you drilling pilot holes into the 2x4 before connecting them? If so, how do you make those holes? Sorry, it may be something obvious and I'm just missing it.

​@@drewsellers3037You only use the bit on one side. The side you are screwing into does not get predrilled.

Awesome project. I love how detailed you get. Could you please please do a video on your drum sander? I just bought the 19/38 from laguna and me being a rookie I'm not very informed on it. I get most if it yeah but laguna customer service is not great at all. I've got it set up and running but I'm getting bad snipe on the Indeed side only. When I run it thru the part that comes out first has bad snipe on it. Please help

Amazing video help a lot thank you

Best tip: Use your child's labor to build their own bed! 😂😂

Hello! Amazing job man! What type of wood do you recommend to use for loft bed

I love your sons names, very biblical. Also, well done! Looks sharp!

Can I get those plans and material list???

What type and size of screw did you use?

How thick were your mattresses

On average how much did it cost for the materials?

is the measurement in inch or cm?

Do you ever get splinters? Even if you’ve sanded it perfectly, I might use a polyurethane stain on the steps to prevent any splinters at all

Picket holes are not "stronger" than most options. Wood glue by itself is stronger once dry.

How much did it cost for just the beds

Send him the $100 if it matters so much to you. People use what they have, get over it.

Great job however it’s a shame to cover up that pretty wood grain with that sticker coat of stain and coat of Polly
